I can’t read it either. But the headline is horrifying. Millions of children’s deaths.

As part of El's ongoing project, she needed to cover Gaiman. By the time she reached him, we see him in a different light. This is long, detailed, and shines its own light on the writer and the work. If you like criticism and can bear to read on the topic, this feels both essential and definitive.

I genuinely think some people do not want to look this in the eye/think about it because it is so awful. We wrote what I thought was a pretty eye-opening story about all this and I was surprised by the lack of engagement tbh

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

Breaking News: The Justice Department wants to revoke the citizenship of hundreds of foreign-born Americans, part of a push to increase the pace of denaturalizations, according to a U.S. official.

I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.

oh, this is very important to know!!

If Los Angeles City Attorney Hydee Feldstein-Soto was written as a character in a courtroom TV drama, nobody would believe it. With a backstory like this, the writers 100% would have to give her a story arc about a bonkers data leak. Unfortunately it’s all real. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Child care that ends at 3 p.m. doesn't work for many working families. So we're changing it. This fall, our 2-K program will pilot year-round care for 2-year-olds, with a full 10-hour day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Because truly "universal" child care matches the reality of working people's lives.

Thank you, Pastor, I needed this.

We need a Nuremberg-style tribunal for Trump and his enablers. Ignore pardons. Strip federal jurisdiction to hear any case related to the tribunal’s work. Make defiance of the jurisdiction strip a crime to be prosecuted before the tribunal.

A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent.

For @prismreports.org, co-founder @tinavasquez.bsky.social   wrote about the importance of grappling with Chávez’s true legacy—both as as a civil rights leader and a rapist.

"What Iranians deserve is so ordinary is almost embarrassing to say aloud. They deserve not to spend their mornings calculating whether they will survive until evening. They deserve to be seen as people... not as acceptable losses, not as the unfortunate human context around a geopolitical problem."

Erika Arhuiz Vega died after suffering severe medical neglect at Core Civic’s privately owned ICE detention center in California City and being deported back to Peru. This isn’t the first case like this either and we fear that there is and will be more. @lataco.bsky.social

"Two Trump judges (Ryan Nelson and Lawrence VanDyke) striking down a California state law that prevented dialysis providers from price gouging patients on First Amendment grounds" is such a cursed sentence that the non-American mind cannot comprehend

Another ICE shooting! As always, we don't have all the facts in. We do have a dashcam, though. DHS claims, as it has during multiple prior shootings (claims at times proven false), that the person who was shot tried to "weaponize" his vehicle. See for yourself (there are no visuals of the victim).

The American Historical Assn has sued to invalidate the DOJ Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinion declaring the Presidential Records Act (PRA) unconstitutional. It relies mainly on Nixon v GSA (1977), in which SCOTUS upheld a predecessor law. ... 1/2 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Segregationists did memory hole slavery for about 100 years and then integration meant that white students would learn about it honestly in school and they've been trying to memory hole it again ever since.

"To have your child abused while in the government's care, to not understand what has happened or how to protect them, to not even be told about the abuse, it is unimaginable," said an attorney representing the girl. https://to.pbs.org/3PV4hr9

We're not a small library system, I would say we're a mid-major. But on the small side of that. Rural system. 19 locations but many are small. And we're right next to a city with their own library system. And in 2026 (it's only month 4) we've already spent $212,917.59 filling digital audio holds.

I've been concerned about an all-GOP top two in the California governor's race for months now. But finally, a political leader has stepped up and ensured that one Republican will draw more attention and votes, thereby allowing a Democrat to reach the runoff. That leader is Donald Trump:

The Great Race. I say if you want to be an #actor, you have to study Jack Lemmon. He throws himself into cartoonishly villainous Professor Fate. Also this film has the biggest, longest and funniest pie fight in film history #movies #filmsky
