If FAA staffing shortages turn out to be a key aspect of this horrible tragedy, remember that @elonmusk and his “Doge” department fired hundreds of FAA staffers last year - including safety workers, and even tried to fire air traffic controllers theguardian.com/us-news/2025/f…

This essay on how colonialism stole culture from white people and how white nationalism is in essence a reaction to that theft, is one of the best things I've read in a long time. Link in next post

This is bad news. This is very bad news. The US government has stopped the funding of PubMed, the most comprehensive database of biomedical literature. Why would you do this? This database it literally a matter of life and death.

Good to know, @StephenM.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. yahoo.com/news/articles/…

Tonight they GASSED the refugees in the Death Camp Jabalia in Gaza. I'm just going to leave that with you

These are the names and faces of the 238 Silenced Journalists from Gaza

Just 40 days ago, Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed by an unhinged Trump supporter and the story has basically already vanished from the national consciousness. DO NOT LET IT.

After witnessing unimaginable horrors, British doctors Tanya Haj-Hassan & Graeme Groom plead to stop the israeli mass extermination

Makes sense to me...

Nearly 70% of the people detained in @realDonaldTrump's mass deportation rampage in Southern California have NO criminal convictions whatsoever. This isn't about keeping communities safe. It's about terrorizing families and brutalizing people based solely on appearance.

One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over. We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival. Shortly afterwards we learn of an active police investigation. An investigation that followed after the Prime Minister himself said it "was not appropriate" we played Glastonbury. Walk off stage to the rapturous sounds of good people and into the creaking scheming sounds of the establishment. This "investigation" was reported across the world's media often with wildly misleading headlines. Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close....yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation. Why open and publicise an investigation into fuck all? This is political. This is targetted. This is state intimidation. After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes - you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action - that is seen by two people only. There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts. We will continue to fight. We will continue to win.

We’re releasing the Epstein Files day one. There are no Epstein Files. Here’s video proof nothing happened. Ok we had to edit it. There are no Epstein Files. There are Epstein Files, but the Democrats made them. Why do you care so much about this Epstein guy? What are “Files”?

I 🧡 sensible lawyers as much as I🧡principled politicians. Right now, we need both fully engaged, 200% committed, to stopping the genocide. All eyes must remain on Gaza, where children are dying of starvation in their mothers’ arms, while their fathers and siblings are bombed into pieces while searching for food. ENOUGH. Send navies. Break the siege. Together, we can. Together, we must.
