Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

The majority of Americans believe the president sexually abused children in a notorious sexual trafficking operation.

Redlining links Black women & higher rates of breast cancer, @shapersyris.bsky.social reports. Recent research shows that living in redlined neighborhoods not only increases the risk of breast cancer for Black women, but also shapes their survival rates & broader health outcomes.

My 70 year old dad, whose favorite band is The Righteous Brothers, just informed me that he enjoyed the Bad Bunny show bc even though he didn’t understand the words, “it seemed like everyone on stage was having a good time!” So there ya go lol.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

"Canada cannot claim to defend human rights while exporting armoured vehicles that will be used to terrorize communities”: @greenpeaceca.bsky.social calls on MPs to halt export of armoured vehicles to U.S. immigration agency ICE www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/pr...

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

Columbia administration looking especially craven and incompetent about now.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

No masks on cops. No masks on cops. No masks on cops. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

It's funny how all these billionaires started buying up all the social media apps, newspapers, and television networks right as all these revelations were starting to come out.

"We are supposed to have our constitutional right of the freedom to film, to be a member of the press. I don’t feel like I have my First Amendment right as a member of the press," Georgia Fort said. https://bit.ly/4qcOQHt

TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

It wasn't just the 60 Minutes CECOT story that Bari Weiss buried. @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social on how an analysis into the Renee Good shooting was relegated to YouTube & a deep dive into Jan 6th was seen on the BBC instead of CBS. Wow. Meanwhile, Weiss is adding more cooking segments...

Homeland Security agents have fired shots on people "16 times since July, and as in the recent shootings in Minneapolis, in each case the Trump administration has publicly declared their actions justified before waiting for investigations to be completed." www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

“Nine progressive prosecutors from cities around the country are launching a coalition to assist in prosecuting federal law enforcement officers who violate state laws, one of the prosecutors, Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, said” It’s called the Project for the Fight Against Federal Overreach

These peaceful observers I spoke to had ICE show up at their homes in what they see as attempts at intimidation. ICE has somehow been accessing Minnesotans' private data in likely violation of state law, according to privacy advocates. share.google/J00lpWzPzOu2...

We found over 40 cases of federal agents using banned chokeholds, cutting off breathing

About 3 mins ago a Family Dollar truck struck the traffic light on the SE corner of Greenmount and E. 39th and… kept going as if nothing happened. I wonder if there’s footage from city camera.

Breaking news!! Ps @theonion.com am I doing this right?

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

Susie Wiles told NYT she didn't call Elon Musk "an avowed ketamine" in one of her ELEVEN interviews with Vanity Fair. "That’s ridiculous. I wouldn’t have said it and I wouldn’t know." Vanity Fair: Cool here's a recording of you saying that. www.huffpost.com/entry/brown-...

How one #Baltimore neighborhood is preparing to fight back against #ICE #ICEwatch #ICEraids #maryland #communityjournalism

Students, faculty, and community groups say the Johns Hopkins private police force intimidates union members and suppresses protest. They’re demanding the City Council hold the first public hearing into the department’s powers. baltimorebeat.com/hopkins-poli...

I was interviewed for this piece—one thing that didn’t make it into it that I want to note: there’s been a lot of attention on the battle for press freedom here in LA—but as I’ve noted, this isn’t just a press rights fight, but a fight for the 1st amendment protections of all Angelenos

Law enforcement physically attacked 72 journalists covering immigration in LA this year—more than double the city’s 2020 BLM protest total, according to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker. lapublicpress.org/2025/11/indy...

The city's homeless services office has just eight outreach workers as more than 2,000 people in Baltimore are unsheltered on any given night. Read my latest for @baltimorebeat.bsky.social 🔽 baltimorebeat.com/councilman-a...

News outlets in Baltimore have spread dangerous misinformation about drugs/those who use them, steering the city away from public health-centered solutions and toward fear-driven police crackdowns. Read my debut article for @objectivejournos.bsky.social ⬇️ objectivejournalism.org/2025/11/balt...

Baltimore media outlets may be exacerbating an already unprecedented overdose crisis. Great @loganhullinger.com piece for @objectivejournos.bsky.social objectivejournalism.org/2025/11/balt...

Although Africa contributes less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, it suffers the worst consequences of climate change and still receives only around 2% of global renewable energy investments. In 2025, African countries experienced escalating climate disasters and faced cuts to U.S. aid.

BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!! We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

"It's a hellscape to have your ability to retire depend on continuing the U.S. war machine." "[D]oesn't have to be that way." "[D]emand is simple: 'Invest Maryland money in Maryland's future, not in genocide.'" #Maryland #USA #Gaza #WestBank #Palestine #Israel #Genocide #Military #EthnicCleansing

Breaking: Happening now in Annapolis — hundreds rally as #Maryland lawmakers and community groups deliver 12,000+ petitions to Gov. Wes Moore, demanding the state cut ties with Avelo Airlines, which holds a $150M #ICE deportation flight contract and operates out of BWI.

At midnight, masked Israeli settlers woke Baltimore Jewish activist Nikki Morse"Your time is almost up." 2 months later, the Palestinian village was empty. For @wagingnonviolence.org I reported on the systematic ethnic cleaning of the #WestBank: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/10/inte...

it was great to interview a diverse range of #nokings protestors for Democracy Now!

Also someone needs to explain to, not just Rappoport (who is an idiot), but a lot of other people too, that the premise of democratic socialism is not that everyone is poor but that everyone can have nice things and afford an occasional date night out

Tens of thousands marched in DC for #NoKings. Interviews coming soon!

Trump’s ICE Has Started Targeting Activists, Not Just Immigrants As Trump sucks up more of our data, ICE added online activists to its target list, demanding Meta hand over personal info attached to Instagram accounts for StopIce.net and more. My report includes tips on how to protect yourself!

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this: Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.
