😳 Isaiah Taylor of Valar Atomics—which somehow scored a DOE contract to build a nuclear reactor by July 4—claimed that “a person cld hold the spent nuclear fuel from [Valar’s] reactor in their hand & get the same amount of radiation as one would expect from a hospital CT scan.” About that… 1/

Just another way to try and be helpful— if you are in another place where ICE decides to ramp up and would like to create a resource like standwithminnesota.com for your state, let me know and we can clone the site and set you up to get started.

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

People need to stop pretending the U.S. government isn’t actively rebranding as a white supremacist movement. 🚨 The Trump administration has rolled out a coordinated campaign across departments, using imagery and messaging straight from right-wing and white nationalist circles. This isn’t subtle.

DHS is claiming that the shooting happened tonight after the victim attacked an officer with a shovel. But witnesses say it was a foot chase after a traffic stop and the victim was running for his life. Be wary of these administration sources and their lies.

BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Three of the Ogala Lakota men who were taken by ICE are being held at a former concentration camp. ICE has no jurisdiction over Native Americans. They’re not breaking any laws. There’s nowhere to deport them to. They were here first. They’ve been kidnapped.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

"I'm not in Minnesota -- what can I do to help?" A list of ideas!

Renee Good's family closed down her fundraiser after it topped $1.5 million, asking ppl to donate to other causes. Charlie Kirk's family, already worth more than $12 million, has received more than $8 million & their fundraising page is still active. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Trump continues to make billions from foreign govts and oligarchs with new deals happening around the world every month from people who want a lot from the US government and are getting what they want. And Trump is just getting started obscenely profiting off the presidency.

this is really just the tip of the iceberg. if you are in minneapolis please continue to spread the word about Defend612.com ans the Monarcha line

Posted by @liminalwarmth.bsky.social: “Someone I personally know in Minneapolis posted this to Facebook a few hours ago. This isn’t what orderly law enforcement looks like. No charge, no location info? How do you even know citizens are getting due process here?”

if anyone is looking to help support vulnerable families in minneapolis right now, this north side fundraiser from school communities isn’t getting much attention and could use some boosting www.gofundme.com/f/show-love-...

It was such a pleasure getting to spend time to know Quince Mountain @quincemountain.bsky.social for this story, and to get to share his Iditarod story with all of you! #uglydogs @milwaukeemag.bsky.social www.milwaukeemag.com/quince-mount...

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Not including Border Patrol, ICE has arrested nearly 75,000 people with no criminal records. This data is compiled by ICE internally and was obtained by UC Berkeley’s Deportation Data Project via a lawsuit. ICE is currently holding 65,000 migrants in detention centers around the country.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Trump has issued over 2,000 pardons and commutations this year, letting a string of drug dealers, corrupt politicians, and MAGA-friendly businessmen off the hook in a gross abuse of the Constitution. Commentary ↓

Funding for mental healthcare (and a range of other important services) for newly arrived refugees was eliminated by the Trump administration immediately upon taking office. Despite having a domestic purpose, it was in the foreign aide budgets they cancelled.

RFK Jr is not really the subject of this truly devastating account of a woman and mother who is dying of leukemia. But Tatiana Schlossberg is using the platform she has in the moments she has left to call him out. She follows in the footsteps of her mother. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

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...

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

If trickle-down economics worked, we wouldn't be struggling to afford groceries while billionaires reach a record $8 TRILLION in wealth. If trickle-down economics worked, we wouldn't be struggling to afford healthcare while Wall Street soars. We've been scammed. Tax the rich.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net. In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

Just to be clear. MAGAs are gutting: •Medicaid—which 60M Americans rely on to survive •SNAP—which 42M Americans rely on to eat •School Lunch—which 30M kids rely on daily •Housing Assistance—which 5M families rely on to live ALL to cut $4.5T in taxes for 800 Billionaires This Is Barbaric.

“70% of wage-earning adults who rely on government programs like SNAP and Medicaid work full-time, many at hugely profitable companies like Walmart and McDonald’s whose low wages are effectively subsidized by tax dollars without any of the blame or paternalistic lectures.”

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

Benny Johnson is a well known plagiarist, grifter, & Christian nationalist who was being paid by Russia - to the tune of well over a $100,000 a month - to push Russian propaganda on the American people - the perfect bio for a MAGA influencer. We no longer have a Justice Department.👇

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

like, i don't really know how to adequately express the anger that i feel watching this video. not showing your face, lazily teargassing random people on a neighborhood street without getting out of your car - the image says more about these goons than i could articulate bsky.app/profile/clan...

An “immigration judge” is not an actual judge in the judicial branch. They are a DOJ employee. As Judge Young, an actual judge, made clear in one of the truly essential parts of his Tuesday ruling. www.lawdork.com/p/judge-will...

"Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties."

I'm not a political genius, but I'm pretty sure the party that published a 600-page manifesto on how they want to shut down the federal government are the ones who shut down the federal government.

NEVER FORGET:The LOOMING shutdown is creating mass INSTABILITY to the ACA Marketplaces. Costs WILL skyrocket. BUT, ALSO don't forget that the Trump & GOP BBB ALREADY caused PREMIUM increases for Medicare & Private Insurance. By NOT extending ACA Tax Subsidies MILLIONS of Americans will be UNINSURED!

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41. Here’s the President of the United States of America.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

You are allowed to commit vast, sprawling crime if you pay Trump enough.

David Rose, the police officer and Afghanistan veteran with a wife and 2 small children, was murdered by a white, right wing extremist man a month ago over antivaccine conspiracies pushed by RFK Jr. and this administration. He did not get recognition from political leaders or even much news coverage

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

BREAKING: As the Trump Administration continues its attacks on public health and science, I've directed DHS take every action to ensure Wisconsinites can access safe, effective vaccines to help keep themselves and their families safe. More here ⬇️ content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIGOV…
