If we get out of this, there needs to be historical level legal punitive consequences for everyone who enabled this. The US is the leader of the free world and what we do will make or break the ability to resist the rise of authoritarian policies and eventually governments globally.

Omg horrific

Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it. Art. 13 of the UCMJ says no one being held for trial may be punished, and that pretrial confinement may be no 'more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence'.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

“covert surveillance inside houses of worship… “interrogations of churches’ staff… “ICE agents hauled off a nun who was wearing her habit and walking down the sidewalk en route to Sunday Mass… “suing a Catholic diocese in New Mexico to seize 14 acres of their land…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

ms.nowThe Trump administration keeps clashing with faith communitiesLast year the White House said Joe Biden and his administration “abused and targeted Christians.” A year later, the hypocrisy is staggering.

For 30 years FoxNews brainwashed viewers to believe white people are the most discriminated against group in America Absurd, but it is the core of idiot MAGA dogma. It’s the lie that fuels their hate and their devotion to that racist squatting in what’s left of the WH I don’t know the cure

(Meidas) Ukraine is on track to produce 6 million drones this year for surveillance, tactical strikes, and long-range attacks. By comparison, the U.S. “Drone Dominance Initiative” aims for roughly 100,000. A factor of 60....60 off compared to Ukraine. Completely embarrassing.

I voted today. Thank God many people are voting early. Your vote has never been so critical: our democracy is in the most danger since the Civil War. We do not have an "illegals voting" problem; we have the fact that in most elections 40% of Americans let the bus go where it will. #ProudBlue

Omg

You may be considered a terrorist if you’ve complained about AI Trump and the Justice Department have “declared war on… opponents of AI,” with opponents of AI being classified under NSPM-7 as “further[ing] the propaganda or other goals of a foreign power” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-think...

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

There must, must, must be serious criminal charges and sentences at the end of this.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Dear @theshufflediary.bsky.social Re: the attack on #HelenHaines Has our mainstream media reflected at all on their own role in this? It would be interesting to hear a Charlie Lewis #SpinCycle timeline on this. How much hate has been promoted by NewsCorp? It's not just social media. #auspol #media

Reyes, before she wraps up golf course hearing, says her family has been texting her, "freaking out" over CNN report about death threats bc of this case. "A federal judge is getting death threats over a golf course. I really don’t think that’s what the founders envisioned."

Roger Parloff@rparloff.bsky.social

At 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.

I’m grateful to the folks who keep track of what this administration says. I will not read their nonsense or watch them speak. Tell me what they do, based on the facts. And the TLDR of their nonsense if it has the potential to be impactful. That is all.

Please, please do the right thing America. 🙏🏽

Trump's fascist regime is trying to make an example of #MajorJasonWatson. Their cruel and unusual treatment of him is only legitimizing his protest. We are all #MajorJasonWatson!

Friends, Sad news! Our dear friend #MajorJasonWatson will face a historic general court-martial, the military's most severe trial! He remains in pretrial confinement. His attorney told @cnn.com the conditions amount to "cruel and unusual" solitary confinement. Want to help? Keep posting about him!
