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'.
My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.
Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois.
Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money.
Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.
"Israel has committed war crimes & the crimes against humanity of extermination, persecution, torture, rape & other forms of sexual violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, intentionally targeting Palestinian civilians as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza.." substack.com/@tritaparsi/...
7 days to #TheMidterms
I donโt know how to put this delicately or maybe I just donโt fancy tiptoeing around the issue so will just come right out and say it

Here's where I think it needs changing:
"You looked in my cup to make sure you had more than anyone else."
We need to just take their cup away and send them home.

#WeThePeople deserve better. Collectively. Individually. No matter who we are. Where weโve been. Where we come from.
A federal appeals court refuses to intervene in DOJโs bid to set aside 20,000 mail ballots in California. Federal court dismisses DOJ lawsuit seeking Utah voters' Personal Information. Voter suppression has no place in democracy. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...@lwv.org@lwvva.bsky.social@aclu.org

โNo matter who wins tomorrow's election in Israel, let's be clear: Israel is a racist, settler-colonial state & Zionism is predicated on the elimination of indigenous Palestinians who will remain subject to military occupation, apartheid, & genocide regardless of who..โ

These copper badges reveal a larger truth:
