Thank you @brianstelter.bsky.social this is 100% correct and needed. News orgs need to adapt. We’d go farther… journalists and editors choosing not to pay attention to and reporting on deranged POTUS’s social media posts is a dereliction of duty and is sanewashing-by-omission.

Kudos to @nickkristof.bsky.social for reporting this article. When can we expect the Jerusalem bureau of the #NYTImes to follow up with more reporting? #Israel @mondoweiss.net www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

Little if any of these price increases is going to the people who actually grow and harvest the #coffee, in Latin America, Asia and Africa.

Let this radicalize you

U.S. households have paid an extra $268 every week in fuel costs since the start of Trump’s Iran War. With the spike, it's estimated that ExxonMobil’s full-year earnings will climb 46%. And Chevron's profits are expected to jump 56% for the year. It’s far past time for a windfall profits tax.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

We are ostensibly a free country and the degree to which we don’t know what is actually going on in a vast network of “camps” on our own soil in the year 2026 is….. something we are probably never going to come close to actually grappling with as a country

Pathological, rotted brain liar. The CDC was nowhere to be found last week.

Physicians for Human Rights–Israel petitioned Israel’s High Court to release 14 detained Gaza doctors, arguing they are being held without charge while they are urgently needed in Gaza where the medical system is collapsing. www.haaretz.com/gaza...

Trump keeps threatening to attack Cuba. He makes it sound quick and easy, but don’t fall for it. Let me paint a picture of what’s likely to happen: 📌Massive refugee crisis 90 miles from FL 📌Russia and China immediately move in with intelligence, cyber operations, weapons support, and propaganda 🧵

As support for Israel craters across the U.S., the issue of military aid has become the latest litmus test for Democrats. mondoweiss.net/2026/04/mili...

this is the kind of thing Democrats are gonna have to be willing to do to bring us back from the brink of the GOP’s un-American chicanery www.the-downballot.com/p/how-virgin...

A city that doesn’t care for its children will fail. Our City’s child care providers do enormously important and difficult work. They deserve our utmost respect and appreciation. This week and every week, we must stand up and support them.

What news sources are NOT reporting about the Virginia Supreme Court decision to invalidate the Constitutional Amendment approved by voters on redistricting is that 3 of the 4 Justices who voted to overturn the law are lifelong, loyal Republicans. This wasn't a legal decision; it was political.

1) This was completely foreseeable. In fact I TOLD YOU SO AT THE TIME. See https://bsky.app/profile/froomkin.bsky.social/post/3mfdkzv5cx22d 2) Our fucking news media falls for Trump’s bullshit every time.

🔥 And this is Janet Maslin saying this!

Trump and Hegseth are covering up how successful #Iran's airstrikes have been in "damaging and destroying" U.S. military sites since the beginning of the war. Kudos to the @washingtonpost.com for the report. @mondoweiss.net

A gallon of gas is now 50% more expensive than when Trump started his Iran War. In the war's first month, the 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits. Trump's Big Oil donors come out on top while the world suffers.

Getting rid of Noem and Bovino wasn’t “reform.” Since they left: - DHS has illegally closed the Detention Ombudsman watchdog office. - Asylum grant rates dropped from 22% in Nov to 5% in Feb. - Congress is moving legislation to fund ICE+Border Patrol through 2029—with no reforms or conditions.

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.

Israel is approving the construction of new West Bank settlements at an unprecedented rate because it knows its window of impunity is closing — especially if Iran emerges intact from the war and the Republicans lose the U.S. midterms. mondoweiss.net/2026/04/isra...

James Comey has been keeping busy waiting for his upcoming trial.

Great piece

Look. In the not too distant future, we may be looking at an America strictly divided into one-party states right across the board. That's an America where political conflict starts to take on a...different character, and organized political violence becomes a lot less unimaginable

Historian here exactly. The Dems need to learn from the no quarters given political tactics and campaigns of the Republicans in the 1850s and 1860s when they managed to upend half a century slaveholder dominance of the federal government.

People really memory holed-covid, due to a huge far right propaganda effort. That's why all you hear about is lockdowns, and not: - hospitals out of capacity - Skype calls with family members in quarantine as they died - bodies stored in freezer trailors - mass graves in NYC

Yes. This is what Dave Pozen called "hardball as anti-hardball." Dems should aggressively gerrymander, but with the explicit goal of getting into power and passing statutes banning partisan gerrymandering nationwide.

There is no NYC without unions. A people united and organized cannot be defeated. Together, we're showing the world what solidarity means.

Good writeup of Sharyn Alfonsi’s speech here: www.theguardian.com/media/2026/a...

These murderous attacks in #Lebanon have nothing to do with #Israel's so-called "security" -- and everything to do with #Netanyahu's re-election campaign. Because if he loses, he could go to prison in Israel for corruption. @mondoweiss.net @dropsitenews.com

NEWS --> Dem can redraw anywhere from 10 to 22 additional House seats for the party in time for the 2028 elections if they aggressively redistrict in 7 key states, a new Fair Fight Action analysis finds. This would neutralize GOP's post-SCOTUS advantage. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2098...

as always, some credit goes to public pressure

A new UN report warns that the Global North’s clean energy transition is displacing environmental and health burdens onto the Global South. Mining for lithium and cobalt is depleting water in stressed regions, linking green tech to rising inequality and water insecurity. Read the full article.

Two years ago today, activists at Columbia University occupied a campus building, renaming it ‘Hind’s Hall.' While campus protests for Palestine have mostly receded from view, they continue to offer vital lessons for the movement they inspired. mondoweiss.net/2026/04/the-... #Palestine #Israel

Correct.

50% of American spending on Healthcare goes to the Health Insurance companies and never goes anywhere else. They take as much as all the hospitals, all the doctors and nurses and the drugs companies combined. For nothing. They don't even exist in most countries.

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.
