One of the cardinal rules of propaganda in almost every context is to avoid provable lies. Lies aren’t necessary, even when supporting a genocide, if you successfully control what topics the public discusses.

I will never forget learning that a mom heard about the shooting, left work, drove over, argued with cops to go inside, got handcuffed, talked her way out of cuffs, hopped a fence, and rescued her 2 sons inside while cops stood doing aggressive crowd control on distraught parents

BREAKING: Israel's Netanyahu government appears to be carrying out targeted assassinations of intellectuals in Gaza to wipe out a new generation of moderate Palestinian leadership. Artists, poets, doctors, lawyers, and academics are among the victims.

I introduced a resolution advocating for the release of my constituent, Eyvin Hernandez, who was wrongfully detained in Venezuela last March. The Administration must use all possible tools to secure his freedom. I will always fight to #BringEyvinHome. tinyurl.com/mhztw6ew

Great front page story about Tulare Lake in today’s paper. This was a very nice highlight, @ByIanJames.

ALT Screengrab from LA Times article. Excerpt: The Tachi are working on a restoration project, planning to plant more trees and put in walking paths. Sisco said restoring the slough can be an example for bringing back more natural waterways. As he stood by the water, two dark birds floated on the surface — American coots, or mud hens. The tribe calls the birds tatsi and named themselves Tachi after them. Other birds migrate and fly elsewhere, but the tatsi, like the people, stay. During the last few years of drought, Sisco said he saw few of these birds. But with the lake’s return, he said, “we see them all the time now.”

In today's SCOTUS ruling against the Navajo Nation, we see the rightwing majority (save Gorsuch) butcher federal Indian treaties. The court thinks states rights to water trump Indian water rights. Except, the latter came before the former...

My biggest takeaway from the Titan story is that we absolutely could have coordinated, multinational efforts to ensure no migrant dies crossing the sea and we choose not to.

A multibillion-dollar pipeline will deliver desperately needed water to the Navajo Nation.
Arizona blocked it from connecting to the tribe’s capital. @propublica and @highcountrynews investigated why.

More Drug War bullshit in San Francisco. And more reporting that fails to do the basic work of challenging their assertions that this time, it will be different.
BREAKING: San Francisco Mayor @LondonBreed says people taken into custody for drug use or possession will be forced into a specialized court after their second arrest.
The move, which was confirmed by DA @BrookeJenkinsSF, marks a notable policy change. sfstandard.com/politics/san-…

This may sound harsh, but ongoing intensifying crazy-bad climate impacts and willful blocking of climate action by rich corporatists is a way, way, WAY more important story than the 5 people in the sightseeing submarine

The migrant ship that sank in the Med killing 700 while the Greek coast guard watched and did nothing is the actual news. The billionaire submersible that has been crushed to the size of a softball is not relevant
