seeing reports of rubber bullets and tear gas with an absolute deluge of police forces at Delaney. for tue second night in a row, people are facing cops on charging horses. the governor said sending in state police was “deescalating” the situation.

I added Swan Lake ballet music

Mikie Sherrill campaigned on "I'm a tough military pilot who isn't afraid of Trump and will stand up to Trump!" The first time she's tested, she works with ICE to beat up her own citizens. And her backers explain "she's working with Trump STRATEGICALLY, because she's scared of Trump." OK, got it.

Lol. National Guard roaming the streets is Good Actually.

Friendly reminder that NPR has been fucking the dog with shit like this for awhile. No different than anyone else in the toilet for Trump, even though he's been coming for their funding. People need to be clear headed about this shit. Same as the other captured media

please launch this take into the sun where it belongs.

I like how they're calling Talarico gay or whatever but then there's a photo of him wearing ankle socks and chunky running shoes and an ill fitting too large button up TUCKED IN to his Kohls shorts and, look, man

Just a reminder that immigrants inside Delaney Hall are on their ninth day of a hunger and labor strike in protest of inhumane conditions and this was Governor Sherrill’s response last night:

Every PD, everywhere: “We’re not working with ICE, except like, every time”

interesting how elected officials who say they want to “lower the temperature” only hold the unarmed side of a protest to that standard.

If I were a Democratic leader, I would see oil prices about to shoot up, while people are already upset. I would see Republicans blowing off people's concerns. I would anticipate a massive midterm victory, and I would be thinking about how to use all that momentum to do *big, ambitious things*.

I'm not sure people -- including people inside oil futures markets! -- really get it: this is all going to get much worse. If you won't listen to me, listen to f'ing Exxon!

Minnesota keeps doing things that Illinoisans are repeatedly told are impossible

This is very cool. This type of support for trans people should be the bare minimum. It's really a shame that Steyer is the only one in the California governor's race willing to stand up for trans people like this.

The California governor's race is a shit show and COYOTE's very own @soleilho.com is here to help you understand it via DnD www.coyotemedia.org/california-g...

A Penn State photojournalism student has been documenting the ICE-created chaos at the Delaney Hall protests. @njspotlightnews.org is publishing his work. “I’ve covered hard news before, but this is the first time I’ve ever had tear gas and pepper spray directed toward me.”

How is this man not married to Taylor Lorenz they are the perfect couple

john cornyn caucus with the democrats or shut up

There's enough recently laid off journalistic talent to staff and run 3-5 midsize to large news organizations.

After a Wisconsin town did this, the mayor said: “The fact that they didn’t take the cameras down shows that we are the product. They were never really selling to us in the first place. They're selling to much bigger agencies the ability to spy on a ton of people.” (via boltsmag.org/verona-wisco...)

they are, and always were, monsters

Rep. Pallone reports a woman detained at Delaney Hall suffered a miscarriage before being transferred out.

Happy #MaskWeek! If, like many people, you stopped wearing a mask years ago, it’s not too late to start again 🩵 Doesn’t have to be all the time. Any time you mask you’re less likely to get sick or pass on whatever you might have picked up, & you might even avoid a life ruining infection.

i have not received a response.

I despise the Post but they did talk to Afrin so it’s legit

CURRENT NEEDS AT DELANEY HALL as prisoners are being gassed and beaten inside. Two large garbage cans At least 4 people at all times to manage the tent area, and support people being released and family members. We especially need people to take relief shifts from around 9pm until morning.

Gonna tap this fucking sign every single time we see a "tech journalist" put in charge of real news, like CBS just did. Cooked, cooked, I say

I think the most reasonable conclusion here is that no one with actual broadcast experience wants to work for Bari Weiss.

Here's a note the area's ANC commissioners wrote to MPD on this. It underlines a key point: MPD wasn't on scene for any of this. Chief Carroll has repeatedly told the council he wants to continue collaborating with the task force so stuff like this doesn't happen...but it already is.

has this story broken through at all? i can’t tell.

I cannot say this loudly enough: we need everyone to know what is happening at Delaney Hall. 300 detainees inside are on Day 7 of a hunger and labor strike as of today. ICE is beating, gassing, tasing and assaulting protestors outside every night, and it is getting worse.

NPR is shrinking its newsroom through layoffs and buyouts and is reducing staff dedicated to covering both climate and science. "The climate desk no longer exists separately but has been folded into the National Desk," writes Neela Banerjee, who headed the climate desk but was just laid off.

E. Jean Carroll didn't just "accuse" Trump of sexual assault. She won a civil lawsuit against Trump for sexual assault. A jury found that Trump sexually assaulted her. She deserves for us to call it what it is.

remarkable that the State Department is amplifying Trump's insane threat to blow up one of our staunchest allies in the Middle East. we are governed by malevolent morons.

Jesus Christ

God. Damn.

At least 18 NPR journalists have accepted buyouts and another 10 have been laid off as the public media network attempts to save money and reorganize the newsroom. n.pr/3RxYWqE

This piece does news consumer a disservice by glossing over what it would mean for FDA to open the flood gates on peptide compounding. But perhaps not surprising in a profile of a person/business that wants to disrupt health care with no hc/hp experience. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

That's how you do it. Make it so no one can look at Paxton without thinking, "He sure loves child rape."

the Panem of it all is so wild

Get a load of this baby.

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.
