What people are saying about today’s air quality…

Christ, you're the governor of the entire state. Shut the building down. It's not sovereign territory like a foreign embassy. Pull the certificate of occupancy. Cut the power. Back it up with state police. Stop coddling fascists and groveling every time they order you around. Act like an American.

🇦🇱 Protesters are furious over a planned luxury tourism complex in Albania that is linked to US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. ➡️ u.afp.com/SD2t

The U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday evening allowed Alabama to use a 2023 congressional map, reversing a lower court’s ruling that repeatedly deemed the map racially discriminatory.

Thousands of people in Albania took to the streets on Tuesday night for the fourth consecutive day, in protest of a $4 billion luxury resort project on Albania’s largest island spearheaded by Jared Kushner.

Two of the three major credit bureaus have sharply reduced the share of complaints they resolved in customers’ favor. In 2024, Experian’s relief rate was 20%. Last year, that figure fell to less than 1%. (Published March)

I feel like this story should be getting far more attention. People in Albania are revolting over a luxury hotel project the Kushners are building on a private island in the Mediterranean, currently home to protected wildlife.

Roberts Court wants to create world where Dems have no legitimate chance to ever take control of Congress, there are no Black members of Congress from the South & no voting rights violations can ever be proven. Their end goal is permanent white GOP minority rule www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Immigrants detained at Delaney Hall say they have been denied medical care, served food with worms and forced to work for as little as $1 an hour, or for no pay at all. @lfelizleon.bsky.social reports 300 detained workers are on strike demanding freedom.

“Just as Alabama doubled down on racial discrimination, the court today doubles down on chaos,” wrote Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

Breaking: The Supreme Court, Over the Dissent of the 3 Liberal Justices, Allows Alabama to Use Maps that a Lower Court Found to Be Intentionally Discriminating Against Black Voters (Now Updated with Analysis–This is a Significant and Very Bad Ruling) electionlawblog.org?p=156541

The Supreme Court's order shamefully allows Alabama to use the same congressional map the court struck down three years ago for racial discrimination. This lawless decision ignores the Court’s own precedent — and has no answer to the evidence showing this map is unconstitutional.

🚨 How much more are ~300,000 #INDIANA ACA enrollees paying this year due to Trump/GOP policies? 59K were priced out of the market entirely. The ~300K clinging to coverage are paying 85% higher premiums for the "honor" of having their out of pocket costs go up 40%. acasignups.net/26/06/03/how...

many of the faculty that have been fired were critics of the administration - a chilling and shameful episode we should be following, especially those of us in higher ed

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

YOUNG WORKERS WITH MASTER’S DEGREES FACE ONE OF THE HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATES IN 20 YEARS: WSJ

A legal victory for Black Mississippians was supposed to spark special elections for the state supreme court under fairer maps, but the U.S. Supreme Court’s Callais ruling has wiped that away. New in Bolts and the Marshall Project:

Allegheny County Council unanimously passed a local PREA ordinance protecting transgender and intersex people in the Allegheny County Jail, even as the federal government moves to weaken those protections.

It seems we are now entering a new phase of the rise of inequality in the US. It's not just wealth and billionaires — it's a broader acceleration. Here's who benefited from economic growth in 2025, according to the latest estimates available on realtimeinequality.org

Average income per adult grew 1.9% (net of inflation) in 2025. But for the bottom 50% there was no growth. And for the next 40% very little. Almost all the growth was concentrated in the top 10%.

Multiple journalists have been assaulted, arrested or had their equipment damaged while reporting on ICE protests outside Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, since May 22.

I have sat face to face with detainees inside Delaney—high schoolers, elderly folks, a pregnant woman, people detained while waiting for court hearings. They told us the horrible conditions they face: lack of medical care, moldy food. Delaney Hall needs to be shut down.

On this day in 1924, Congress passed an act completely prohibiting immigration from Asia. While signing the act, President Coolidge remarked, “America must remain American.”

On this day in 1892, a white mob destroyed Ida B. Wells's newspaper office while she was away and threatened bodily harm if she returned because she challenged the myth of Black criminality.

On this day in 1930, the U.S. Department of War forced the grieving families of Black veterans killed abroad to travel separately from white families to visit their loved ones’ graves.

Americans have racked up $1.25 trillion of credit-card debt—and they’re having trouble paying it down.

Yes, it's true, the median household net worth is around $193k. But it's not a normal slope below that, there's yet more skew, just like at the top. You'd think the 33rd percentile would be around $125k. They're not, it's more like $67k. 10th percentile is around $0. Below that, it's negative.

For better or worse, a lot of organizing is happening on IG. For those of us not in NJ, families and supporters of the Delaney Hall detainees are asking for help with legal funds, commissary funds, grocery cards, gofundme’s for families under extreme financial hardship

days into a hunger and labor strike of hundreds detained in GEO Group-run Delaney Hall, people inside report beatings, rotten food, crumbling facilities, and denied medical care. protesters and organizers outside are confronting ICE in the Newark street. talked to a few about it: @us.theguardian.com

Immigrant detainees at Delaney Hall ICE prison in Newark, NJ have been forced to cook, clean, & repair the facility for as little as $1/day and sometimes for free. They are on a hunger & labor strike; protesters outside have been tear-gassed. Here's our report, including a quote from a detainee:

Y'all heard about "Wonder Valley" in Alberta? A proposal for the largest AI center in the world, which the AB govt waived all environmental impact studies AND the Chief whose land it's on only found out about on social media?? thestarphoenix.com/news/local-n...

With crude oil near $97 a barrel and gas prices averaging about $4.46 a gallon nationally, U.S. residents are footing the bill for Trump’s war with Iran. @profwolff.bsky.social explains why “Economic Fury” may be a warning sign for the whole world economy.

"More than 93% of the people grabbed off area streets who filed suit were from Latin American countries, although Latinos make up only 66% of immigrants without legal status in the region." Really important journalism, and the visuals are superb.

I was at Delaney Hall yesterday. Everything the detainees wrote in their S.O.S. letter is 100% correct. DHS is lying to keep their abuses from being exposed. And to make things worse, they pepper sprayed @kim.senate.gov and are lying about it to cover their tracks.
