Did the Trump admin break international law when it attacked Venezuela and captured Nicolas Maduro? Yes. Does it matter? Not at all, according to a new memo from the Trump admin providing bogus legal justification written by T. Elliot Gaiser and inspired by none other than William Barr. We're discussing that history and the similarities Maduro's capture has with another strongman from Latin America: Manuel Noriega.
This weekend saw more chaos and ICE raids across Minnesota. Now that Trump can't use the National Guard to his will, ICE is what's left, and he and his goons seem determined to allow ICE to do whatever it wants to terrorize blue cities and states. Up to and including to influence the outcome of future elections.

Yesterday, an ICE officer sh*t Renee Nicole Good as she was attempting to flee an ICE operation in South Minneapolis. The footage is clear, but the state propagandists want you to disbelieve what your eyes are telling you. Don't let them fool you.

Over the weekend, US forces struck Venezuela and captured Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, taking them to New York City to stand trial. Now the question is: why are we intervening in Venezuela like this? What is the Monroe Doctrine and why is Trump newly obsessed with it? Here's what history tells us about intervention in Latin America.

Nick Shirley's viral video about the fraud scandal rocking Minnesota and its Somali community misses the mark, is a lazy excuse for investigative journalism, and relies on racism and Islamophobia to scare people and get clicks. Here's what's REALLY happening in the great state of Minnesota.

The new rules from Medicare and Medicaid, supported by HHS director RFK Jr, are based on a faulty white paper commissioned by the HHS that lacks transparency and cherry-picks data to support an ideological narrative. The rules, which ban hospitals from providing gender affirming care to trans youth, are being pushed by a group of unqualified quacks with deep ties to Peter Thiel and bunk scientific backgrounds. This will only lead t...
Within hours of the bombshell Vanity Fair article quoting from extensive interviews with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, the entire Trump regime had fallen in line, voicing support for Wiles and unflinching loyalty to the President. This is the making of a fascist state, not a pluralistic democracy. But that's entirely the point.

Over the weekend, two mass shootings on opposite sides of the world: one at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. A second at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. One will likely elicit rapid change to gun reform laws. The other will be met with complete inaction, nothing more than thoughts and prayers. And the attack at Bondi Beach is an incredibly rare incident of violence in a country that, three decades ago, made massive r...

Today the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case called Trump v. Slaughter, seeking to overturn 90 years of precedent (Humphrey's Executor) in favor of putting more power in the hands of Trump. This is important for EVERYONE to know because it could have wide-reaching implications for every aspect of our lives and the functioning of government including, importantly, the integrity of our elections.
Today we discuss Pete Hegseth's alleged order to "kill everyone" on an alleged narcotrafficking boat, leading to a double strike that killed victims actively clinging to burning shrapnel in the middle of the ocean. This IS a war crime. But what does that even mean?

The shooting of National Guard troops in Washington DC last week allegedly by an Afghan national has sparked backlash against Muslim immigrants. The Trump regime was swift to enact sweeping restrictions on immigration even beyond what was already put in place since January. It appears we have entered a new phase of the immigration crackdown in the US.

The Pentagon has promised to investigate Senator Mark Kelly and the other congressmembers who appeared in a video reminding the troops that they don't have to obey illegal orders. This comes after Trumps unhinged Truth Social ramblings called for the sitting members of Congress to be put to death. Turns out the video wasn't as controversial as the regime's propaganda machine wants you to think.

Thin is in, but is it the fascists' fault? Online discourse has been swirling about Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Michelle Yeoh making the red carpet rounds for Wicked while looking particularly gaunt. Is this the product of fascism, or is fascism merely capitalizing on a long history of fatphobia that was already within us? Today we're talking about the politics of bodies.

Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman visited Washington DC and the worlds billionaires flocked to kiss the ring at a lavish state dinner on Tuesday. What to MBS, Saudi oil, AI, and Trump all have in common? Turns out, a lot, and none of it involves giving a single hoot about the rest of us. And even if we're not SURPRISED we still must remain VIGILANT against the 1%!!!

The House Oversight Committee released 20,000 pages of documents from Jeffrey Epstein's emails, and it's just the tip of the iceberg. What the emails reveal is a sadistic system wherein the rich and powerful have decided that certain peoples' lives are worth less than others, a stark example of Hannah Arendt's "banality of evil."
