No TV for the Bosnia-Panama game, but it's streaming on the City SC app with Joey Zanaboni and Bill McDermott on the call.

BREAKING: in May 2026, *every single one* of the 599 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,665 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

@stlpublicradio.bsky.social You can add Olympian Colleen Quigley to your article about the marathon trials. She competed in steeplechase in Rio and finished 8th and was born and raised in STL. (I sat next to her parents on a flight once and it was fun to learn about her).

The Rams settlement bill and the failed government/civic leadership response to the tornado would fit right into a revised edition of The Broken Heart of America by Walter Johnson.

Don't forget, they did a trial run of this with 6,100 people, and ended up sweeping in multiple living U.S. citizens.

As a reminder, the American Academy of Pediatrics called this “torture.”

Jail and prison are incredibly unsafe. There is no safe jail. The important thing to keep in mind when reading these stories is that the answer is always to let people be free (not to hire more doctors). apnews.com/article/ice-...

Or you could just support Black candidates in more majority white seats too? We tend to do quite well when given the chance.

fwiw: @cleaver.house.gov has represented a majority white seat for 100% of his time in Congress

New York City leaders aren't displaying any urgency to ensure the city’s civilian review board is fully operational. The board has only 11 out of 15 seats filled and the seat representing the Bronx has been empty for nearly three years.

Democrats self-sabotaged in 2024 when they stopped talking about these guys as the weird perverts and assholes that they are. Most of the country sees people like Stephen Miller and think they're gross monsters. They will always respond well when leaders/institutions that affirm their gut vibes.

Someone asked me the other day, “If Trump can just do whatever he wants, then a Democratic president can too. why is Medicare for All impossible? Why are reparations impossible? Why is anything off the table?”

HAPPY NEW @thisguysucked.com DAY, featuring @devintoshea.bsky.social and Alonzo Slayback, a Missouri man on mission to prove that your secret society doesn’t count as the Klan if the outfit is a little bit funkier

Actually it was conceived as a streamlined way for Republicans to send federal dollars to donors while creating a surveillance state. The name *always* seemed like a Nazi reference—and it likely was. The GWBush admin couldn't even explain why they used it. www.nytimes.com/2002/08/31/u...

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Trump’s DOL has put in place a federal rule to slash farmworker wages up to $5-$7/hour. Rep. Lofgren is fighting back with a Congressional Review Act–a tool to allow Congress to overturn federal agency regs. Tell your US Rep to support it TODAY. act.seiu.org/a/h2a_cra?ms=ig #WeFeedYou

MSM, some quick notes: 1. It’s not a settlement (the case was dismissed). 3. It’s not a ballroom (it’s a bunker). 3. It’s not a library (Trump said it will be a hotel). It matters that you get it right.

This was widely reported. Blanche's response that it couldn't have happened because the fund didn't yet exist is bullshit. I had sources telling me more than a year ago that MAGA attorneys had been telling their Jan. 6 clients that Trump was planning to pay them "reparations."

You can draw a direct line from ICE's violence & human rights violations to our tax dollars. On Thurs, Congress could hand over ANOTHER $70B which will be used to orphan children, inflict pain, and build mega-warehouses for our neighbors. SEND A MESSAGE TO YOUR REP: act.nilc.org/page/93101/a...

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

Remember when the Supreme Court said a president lacked the power to forgive $20,000 of student debt for Pell Grant recipients and the White House just said "Oh, okay"

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

Ring the bell because for the first time ever: Jim Cramer is stunned silent. Just like the rest of us, he’s seeing the President commit insider trading right in front of our very eyes.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

This will happen in Missouri, too, if we allow the GOP Tax Scam to pass www.newsfromthestates.com/article/gove...

Of course they did. 🫠

Nearly a year after an EF3 tornado ravaged some of St. Louis’ most historic Black neighborhoods, @kgrumke.bsky.social and I delve into why recovery is taking so long in north St. Louis — and how city leaders are struggling to respond. www.stlpr.org/government-p...

It’s happening! The libraries hit by the May tornado reopen next week! @stlpubliclibrary.bsky.social has been working so hard on it and the day is nearly here!

One year after an EF3 tornado severely damaged north St. Louis, new reporting shows how inexperience and decisions in Mayor Cara Spencer’s administration slowed the tornado recovery.

Really sums up a favorite right wing grievance: what's offensive here aren't my actions, but your accurate descriptions of them

FWIW Linda McMahon is very credibly accused of sex trafficking minors & covering up multiple child rapes for >20 years. The reason she hasn’t faced legal consequences for it is not for lack of evidence, but because she was able to delay accountability until she was outside the statute of limitations

City of STL's proposed data center regulations ⏬⏬⏬ Public hearing scheduled at 5:30 pm on May 18 www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/d...

🚨 St. Louis City Police, now State Police, work with ICE. Previous incident refered to by @annielrice.bsky.social

For clarification, there is a process for jails to respond to ICE detainers for wanted people. What SLMPD did by proactively calling ICE (actually our RR hotline) was far beyond that legal and operational obligation. SLMPD is working with ICE. Period. #STL

Happy May Day!!!

Quite a lot of people had in their head that “mass deportation” meant that they were going to arrest a bunch of bad people and that nobody good would be impacted. Seriously. They never thought further than that, and “get the bad people out” felt like a good idea to them.

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

fucking hell the Supreme Court really just dropped Callais, killing off even more of the Voting Rights Act, right as the TPS oral arguments are about to start dishing out another serving of racism to go with the heaping pile of racism already on our plates www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

This woman, who also represented three J6 defendants and well as Roy Moore in one of his defamation suits, is one of the people they hired to be an immigration judge; a person who will have to decide on gender-based violence cases.

Revoking kids' visas because their parents criticized Elon Musk.

Journalists who are still attending the WHCD this year don't seem to get just how much things have changed. It isn't 1998. You're not going to pose for cute photos with the West Wing stars at "nerd prom." You're enabling a regime who's assaulting your own profession & you're torching your career.

More people should be talking about this St. Louis death at the hands of a City Refuse Dept employee. The City trash truck did not drive itself. How many more Refuse Dept drivers have downgraded CDLs? Does City only check status at time of hiring?
