🚨 27,000 KILLED IN SUDAN’S DARFUR IN 3 DAYS Darfur governor Minni Arkou Minnawi says 27,000 people were killed in just three days after the RSF captured El-Fasher late last month — a massive jump from earlier estimates of about 2,500 deaths. In March 2025, Senator Chris Van…

The U.S. has the leverage to help stop the RSF's atrocities in Sudan, RIGHT NOW. But to do that we have to use it. Today, Republicans blocked my effort to pass legislation to suspend arms sales to the UAE until we can verify they are no longer arming the genocidal RSF. Shameful.

Iowa City made buses free in August 2023 with a goal of lowering emissions and encouraging people to take public transit. Now ridership is up, traffic is down, and the program is extremely popular. So popular that the City Council has voted to extend it for another year.

Predictably, Israel murdering a group of people playing football in a country that it has a formal ceasefire with was met with indifference. So today it bombed all over Gaza. 21 people killed, mostly children. The targets included families huddling from the cold in tents.

Israel just bombed a sports field in Lebanon, killing 11 people. It’ll barely make the news in most Western outlets of course.

we would have talked about this for weeks on end in 2017. there would have been a bestselling children’s picture book by Samantha Bee called The Piggy That Wouldn’t Be Quiet

“Quiet, piggy!” — Donald Trump snaps at female reporter asking about the Epstein files.



This ICE propagandist probably won't let you know all charges against this "assailant" were dropped, just like how she won't highlight this young woman the head of ICE is so terrified of relies on a wheel chair.

Wow. If this decision holds up on appeal, the redistricting war Trump kicked off to save the GOP majority in the House will likely result in a net gain for *Democrats.*

The "exact profile" they want to go after is someone with a Masters in Computer Science, two patents, and nearly a decade working in tech. If they are scared of people who understand their business regulating their business, they are telling on themselves.

So the AI super-PAC picked its first target: NY Assemblymember Bores, author of the RAISE Act and one of the NY-12 candidates. Kind of the exact profile of the kind of folks they want to go after

This is one of those obviously correct positions that’s treated like insanity in mainstream foreign policy circles. Israel has attacked eight countries in the last two years, it is inarguably one of the world’s greatest sources of geopolitical instability.
