She is a delight. She lead the charge to keep Leonsis from moving Caps/Wiz into Virginia, and posted this when the deal died lmao

great that the WP gutted it's newsroom, but can still find space to chime in on another city's policies

Unbelievable

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

It was such a joy to work in @postsports.bsky.social. Just an absolute gift. I was so so so lucky to have been a part of this place, and so so so lucky to work with these lovely, kind, clever, incredible people. This was the dream. (uh also If you need an editor, please do holler.)

I was laid off by The Washington Post today. This is gutting for our readers and our section, but I’m grateful for the 4 years I had to cover sports alongside friends and legends. If you’re hiring or know of someone who is: spencernusbaum(at)gmail(dot)com

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

For months, an Indian computer engineer trapped in a pig-butchering scam compound in Laos was secretly messaging @agreenberg.bsky.social and leaking him materials. This mini documentary is the incredible story of how he exposed the Chinese organized crime groups and, more importantly, escaped.

BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There’s a highly classified whistleblower complaint about Tulsi Gabbard that’s been held up and not sent to Congress for 8(!) months And a former aide to Gabbard runs her agency’s watchdog office & she got rid of the top attorney in that watchdog office www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

This is on Trump and the GOP. FDR gave Tennessee electricity. Trump took it away.

death from disease in concentration camps is so widespread and so predictable that it's pretty clearly a feature, not a bug.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Whew. Judge Biery (Clinton appointee) is not messing around, dropping on the feds the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, the Fourth Amendment, Ben Franklin, and the Bible. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Reminder that Anne Frank died not in the gas chamber but of typhus.

Getting affordable housing (and stuff) after the deportation of Jews is a classic example of how the Holocaust benefitted a German everyperson, and the fact that this administration has diluted and trivialized the memory of the Holocaust is not coincidental

This is so unhinged

Here is an example of a Dutch call-up paper for Jews to report to labor camps. The Frank family ignored their call-up, meaning they were officially in Amsterdam illegally from this point on. The Trump administration is doing Holocaust revisionism to avoid the possibility of empathy for migrants.

MELANIA wasn’t made for the critics or the coastal elites, it was made for the fans

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

As wild as this sounds, I really do think “president connected to notorious pedophile sex trafficker, corrupting law enforcement to cover it up, now in explicit violation of a specifically tailored law,” while easily impeachable in its own, is at most the fourth worst scandal this week.

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

These words demand attention. “In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock Take a moment, so much more…

If a non-citizen neighbor gets kidnapped by ICE, you supposedly have about 4-5 hours to file a habeas petition in Minnesota to prevent ICE from shipping people to Texas. They are moving people that quickly regardless of whether or not they have legal status.

Republicans have effectively replaced the Constitution with the GOP-majority Supreme Court. We have no constitutional rights as long as Republicans are in power.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims. We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear. Never again means never again for anyone.

A suburban county in central Virginia is considering its legal options over a plan by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to purchase a warehouse property owned by Vancouver-based Jim Pattison Developments to use as a holding and processing centre www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

I am so heartbroken over the unnecessary decimation of our world-class, hometown paper. It has been battered year after year, and is testing long time subscribers to the max. Will there be anything left? They already stopped covering the region, and now moneymaking sports? What sense does this make?

When ICE is killing Minnesotans left and right, everyone's voice matters. This is no time to sit on the fence.

No words “As the Michigan-based attorney walked toward his car…he heard what sounded like “100s of children” shouting, with voices he described as "high-pitched" and "urgent.”…he could see children streaming from dormitory areas behind a chain-link fence and chanting “Libertad." shorturl.at/yOXfh

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration. Congress can: - Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage) - Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes - Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same - Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction It can be done.

“ICE > MN” is impeachable by itself.

Everything you need to know about ICE is here: "I asked the ICE agents if the victim had a pulse, and they said they did not know." Instead they were standing around counting bullet wounds. This is from a medical eyewitness: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The killing happened about 15 hours ago. Since then: - MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (FBI equivalent) got a warrant for the evidence on the scene - Tried to execute it - Were forcibly turned away by feds - Filed for a temporary restraining order - TRO granted by the federal district court

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

“I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice. Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds.”

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
