Russian planes are in the air and on the way to bomb Ukraine. Another dreadful night begins, another deadly lottery to see who makes it to sunrise. For four years, the world has just watched this happen to us.

Yesterday’s report. Today’s news.

This was a premeditated attack with no conceivable emergency: the choice to do this is Congress not President. Waging war on Iran is an obvious violation of the Constitution, no different than enacting tariffs (raising taxes) or defunding USAID (spending programs).

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

This is how Russian drone crashing into your apartment looks like. + we live in truly bizarre times. this person stands there calmly in their Kyiv apartment that was just attacked by a Russian Shahed drone, and just calmly says why you should indeed hide in bathroom or hallway during the attack ,

The problem with figures like RFK Jr. isn’t just that they spread bad information. It’s that they sustain disordered counterpublics, spaces where falsehoods are reinforced through imitation of legitimate democratic processes.
