Weiss touted El Salvador’s brutal leader while her blog published jokes about Trump sending immigrants to the CECOT prison. She has also joked about torture of prisoners.

Bari Weiss does not seem to have a good understanding of what's been going on with the Alien Enemies Act, including that courts -- including SCOTUS -- have repeatedly faulted the administration for failing to give detainees a meaningful opportunity to challenge being sent to El Salvador.

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

📽️ WATCH: After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, which led to 18 million hens being killed and a spike in egg prices, the Department of Agriculture didn’t investigate whether the virus was airborne. But ProPublica did. @natlash.bsky.social breaks it down: propub.li/4iVcYfD

The White Supremacist Origins of the Constitutional Sheriff | These sheriffs' ideological foundation in Christian white supremacist movements reveals a great deal about the anti-liberal vision of America into which Trump has breathed new life, reports @barnraiser.bsky.social.

We are seeing religious communities traumatized with armed state power in a manner reminiscent of the traumatic European wars of religion.  Modern liberalism is largely how Europe healed itself from that trauma, with religious freedom and prohibition of torture as two of the main elements. 1/10

"The takedowns and restrictions began in October and targeted the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp accounts of more than 50 organisations worldwide ... in what appears to be a growing push by Meta to limit reproductive health and queer content across its platforms."

"The Myth of the Constitutional Sheriff" While ICE is the face of Trump's lawlessness masquerading as law, ICE isn't the key to how got here. Sheriffs are. Sheriffs empowered by myths. 3 Experts help unravel their deep roots & bitter fruits. 1/ barnraisingmedia.com/the-myth-of-...

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss. We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Someone needs to set up a camera so we'll know when Pete Hegseth orders this plaque removed from West Point.

A depraved and decadent Trump WH dinner for MBS was a stunning low for an American ruling class that's stopped pretending to carry a moral compass It was really a celebration of death - of democracy, of an overheating planet, and ultimately themselves.

If you haven't listened to this yet, I highly recommend it. All your basic questions about indoor air quality -- what are the pollutants? what tech can keep them out? what policies do we need? -- are answered.

Democrats scored big in school board races across Texas, Pennsylvania and Ohio — flipping dozens of seats. The party's candidates pushed issues regarding test scores and bus safety over debates about which bathrooms transgender students use and banning books from school libraries.

Written in March of this year, @fredclarkson.bsky.social and @benlorber8.bsky.social trace how a fast-growing Christian Right movement is becoming a major driver of U.S. and global support for Israel. Examine its rising influence, political reach, and international networks.

The CDC has updated its vaccine safety page to promote long-discredited claims about vaccines—namely that they cause autism. The page links to a number of studies, including one by anti-vax allies of Robert Kennedy Jr. www.importantcontext.news/p/cdc-change...

My first piece for @theguardian.com on MBS’s visit to the U.S., seven years after Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. Trump’s America is beginning to look like MBS’s Saudi Arabia— which Jamal warned me about. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, killing millions of chickens and spiking egg prices, the federal government didn’t investigate if the virus was airborne. So ProPublica did. Absolutely terrifying reporting from @natlash.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/bird...

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

As Trump lobbies for a football stadium to bear his name, I’m reminded of something he said six years ago at a tour of Mt. Vernon: “If [George Washington] was smart, he would’ve put his name on it. You’ve got to put your name on stuff, or no one remembers you.” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Solar and wind power are now cheaper than coal and natural gas for electricity generation. Yet in developing countries, higher financing costs still make renewable projects more expensive upfront, according to a professor who studies energy and climate solutions. buff.ly/hQc5VqD

I dislike it sometimes when griff and I get into things and then they happen days later. Dark dark times.

The Atlantic speaks with one of the jurors in the case of the man who threw a Subway sandwich at a federal agent. The juror says that, despite two initial holdouts, it was ultimately pretty easy to acquit: "a clear majority felt it was nonsensical, like, don't waste our time or money."

“Obedience is not enough. Unless he is suffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own? Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.” George Orwell -- 1984

Wow, a Long Island jury awarded $112 Million to 674 immigrants who were unlawfully held by county police so they could be handed over to ICE

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.
