Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.
“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.
4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...
Two men in ICE detention say they saw guards kill a fellow detainee. Now the Trump administration is trying to deport the witnesses.
This looks a lot like a cover-up. We need an independent investigation NOW. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
secondary to the terrible content, gavin could be using his celebrity and influence to promote and elevate left wing media voices who are desperate for any kind of boost in visibility but instead hes doing whatever the fuck this is
No parties, rank choice voting, campaign spending caps, easy paths to removal if they turn out to be bad at their jobs….Maybe a parliament instead of a president?

Anderson Cooper: So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.
As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
“On Friday, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed that it would stop collecting and publishing greenhouse gas emissions data from thousands of refineries, power plants, and factories across the country.”

“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.”
The Trump DOJ scrubbed this study from their website.
"0.3 per cent of the world’s land area – yes, just the land – would be needed to meet the current energy demand from solar alone, which is LESS THAN THE CURRENT LAND FOOTPRINT OF FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE."
This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.
Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.
We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.
This a federally-monitored website. The regime is on highest alert. Anyone posting advocacy for violence right now is a fedposter or a fool. This has nothing to do with what is right or wrong or what you have a right to say. It's simply a fact.
too little attention being paid to the fact battery plants like these are supposed to be a picture of a new Industrial Revolution for electric vehicles & this facility was primed to benefit from the first climate law before it was gutted
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.
May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
What will be the deranged reason given for this idiotic move? That they might recommend vaccine research or something? RFK Jr. must be removed from office. It’s him or us.
NEW figures show that 61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history.
According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.
I hope people read and react to this idea: what if climate policy focused on flooding the planet with cheap, or free, solar panels? Globalize China and India's panel factories, buying panels by the boatload and just offloading them at every wharf on earth

the emotional toll of reading something every day and thinking "this is it. the stupidest thing i have ever read in my entire life." and then the next day reading something even stupider
tbh I was more depressed last night than I have been since January, and I couldn't even explain why—but I think it has to do with whatever very small part of me that still believed 'if people only saw cops doing what they are doing they wouldn't tolerate it,' and then seeing them tolerate it
Excellent new video by Youtube channel “Just Have A Think”.
The episode discusses topics including @rahmstorf.bsky.social new paper showing 0.4C decadal warming and topics covered by @doctorvive.bsky.social in her book.

As @seiuca.org President David Huerta said, “It is our time to rise up, for working people to lead the fight to save democracy.”
Increasing temperatures from climate change have led to a 40% reduction in blue whale “songs” in just the past 6 years alone.
“It’s like trying to sing while you're starving,” said John Ryan, a biological oceanographer.
The world's oceans absorb more than 90% of the excess heat from climate change
