In MD, a burial plot is discovered with the bodies of more than 200 black boys linked to a state juvenile detention facility with a history of abuse & neglect from the late 1800s. Delegate @jeffrielongjr seeks the truth behind what happened to these young boys. youtu.be/fw0wobKIBNg?...

NEW: I created this reference list of all known third-country removals since Trump's inauguration. It's a lot more than you probably think, and there are likely more we don't know about. Bookmark this, I will be updating it as more occur. hardghistory.ghost.io/tracking-all...

We cannot let this happen. We must stop emitting now!

As long as the loudest folks on the left insist tone-policing, compromise on human rights, and acquiescence are our only options for a unified country, they will continue to lose the faith of the marginalized. And even when they win, they’ll just be waiting to lose the same way again.

The Stop Hiding Hate Act requires social media companies operating in New York to report their content moderation policies to my office. With violence and polarization on the rise, social media companies must ensure their platforms don’t fuel hateful rhetoric and disinformation.

DOE just said it is canceling 321 awards for 223 projects at ~ $8 billion, corresponding to the cancelled money for Dem states that Trump admin announced earlier today They managed to cut hundreds of projects for Dem states w/out cutting any for GOP.

Also: it makes zero sense to do a "deal" on any spending when Trump has already proven he will impound appropriated money at any time for any reason and SCOTUS has said repeatedly that him doing so is fine

My favourite Jane Goodall quotes....so many, so to the point, so wise. How different the world would be if enough people listened to her.

It's Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Over the last eight months, the first administration led by a man found liable for sexual abuse in federal court has endangered survivors even as it professes to "protect women." 19thnews.org/2025/05/dome... #DVAM

Clean energy is cheap, & clean energy can get built quickly, but the government is making it harder and more expensive to build clean energy. All at a time when AI data centers are spiking electricity demand. Demand is up & power supply is being constrained = higher costs youtu.be/f6536KWBZAc?...

Al Jazeera reports on Israel intercepting the global sumud flotilla, boarding boats & detaining people. Those boats were in international waters & what Israel is doing is piracy and kidnapping. Where is the condemnation from our govt?

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

"If we lose hope, we're doomed." We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

If they claim they haven't heard the quote, play it for them and ask for a response. If they claim it's being taken out of context, play a longer version and ask for a response. If they try to sidestep the issue, play it over again and ask for a response.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Anyone who has experience in an abusive household, or who has worked with people in them, or has read a lot about them, will be familiar with a particular dynamic: Dad is full of loud passions & intense moods, sweeping through like a thunderstorm, unpredictable, volatile, often violent. He is ...

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

oh no! due to a typo in the press release, pete hegseth has ordered all u.s. military troops to adopt a 'wario mentality' and hijinks HAVE ensued!

When Trump threatens to nix funding to NYC if Zohran Mamdani wins, it only helps Zohran. It inflates the Trump threat, positions Zohran as a fighter for NYC against Trump, and pushes Cuomo into the role of Trump stooge. There's a lesson here for Dems. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2011...

Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans just shut down the government to push their extreme agenda. They’d rather strip Medicaid, eliminate SNAP benefits, and close rural hospitals than keep our government open. It’s appalling.

this is the third time Donald Trump has shut down the government while his party controls both houses of Congress

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

Just gonna keep tapping the sign* *𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦

Trump said that he wants a shutdown so that he can get rid of programs the Democrats like and fire Democrats working for the government on three separate occasions today:

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the Minnesota Alliance for Retired Americans Educational Fund and a recently naturalized citizen and voter, my law firm has moved to intervene against a DOJ lawsuit seeking access to the state's voter registration data. www.democracydocket.com/cases/minnes...

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

4 days ago, viral press coverage of an ICE agent assaulting a woman outside of an immigration courtroom got him very briefly suspended. Today, in either an act of retaliation or just brute repression, ICE officers attacked 2 journalists. 1 of them had to be taken to a hospital on a stretcher by EMS.

(solemnly) You've had mail.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

South Shore is a neighborhood on Chicago's south side, on the shore of Lake Michigan. Its population is ~93% Black. Its median income is $40,125 (www.cmap.illinois.gov/wp-content/u...).

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

You cannot have a functioning classroom under these conditions. As I've said before, classroom surveillance has been a much bigger and more damaging change to campus than wokeness.

"Dems will get blamed for a shutdown" as opposed to what, all the friendly coverage and positive credit they'd get for caving yet again? This whole premise is built on a delusion about what the alternative is. There's no cowering in the corner and being so inoffensive they won't still attack you.

Y’all. Republicans are FINE with poking holes in the filibuster. They did it ten days ago so they could confirm 48 Trump appointees at once. Don’t let them tell you they can’t pass a CR without Dems. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

again, Democrats should be saying that they will investigate and prosecute those who gave the order and those who carried it out. this is murder and a war crime.

The state could have backed him but instead they demonstrated for the thousandth time that there is no level of respectability that will prevent white people from serving you up on a platter in order to appease powerful racists.

Even when immigrants are being detained, we see the impact of know your rights information. The family detained at Millenium Park refused to answer questions about their status and also asked for a warrant. Once at Broadview processing center, they also refused to sign a voluntary departure form.

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41. Here’s the President of the United States of America.

A 40-year-old man pulled up in a boat at American Fish Co., a spot for drinks and live music, and fired multiple shots into the crowd, police say.

ICE Trump regime trooper stands on top a mother with his fist clenched after shoving her to the ground in front of her children. US media allege he was removed but MAGA insiders such as propagandist Jack Posobiec, claim he's being reinstated. Abusing women & children is a MAGA principle.
