Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

ICUMI: A man who was pardoned by Trump on charges related to his participation in the Jan. 6, 202 riot was arrested after allegedly threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York). The White House is strangely quite about this.

He's paying himself with our tax dollars for his crimes against us. Shared:

Here are 3️⃣ absolutely insane and corrupt things happening in the Trump Administration right now.

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.

In the last 24 hoursm the ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt has attacked by name, Zohran Mamdani & Graham Platner, both left-wing Dem candidates who criticize Israel. He has said not a word about Paul Ingrassia, Trump's nominee for a top government job, who was caught saying he has a 'Nazi streak.'

The Times apparently decided it wasn’t important to mention in the headline it was the ICE agent who shot the U.S. marshal.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

I’m skeptical that a court can or will do this, but i think it has to be tried, because the GOP has descended to full lawlessness, and we don’t have any kind of government if the majority party can just refuse to recognize others.

It takes centuries to build a research university, and we’re seeing that it only takes months to destroy one.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Trump’s Department of Education actively collaborates w/ Moms for Liberty. Asked “what % of children she imagines should be in public schools going forward,” Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice told ProPublica: “‘I hope zero. I hope to get to zero.’” 1/ www.propublica.org/article/educ...

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission) Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

Btw, while there is much ink devoted, again, to the Louvre robbery, the NYT has no reportage on the destruction of the White House East Wing -- without required Congressional authorization-- in today's print edition.

The Wayback Machine’s snapshots of news outlets’ homepages have plummeted in recent months — Nieman Lab reporters @andrewdeck.bsky.social and @hanaatameez.bsky.social found they declined by 87% starting in May of this year. They decided to find out why. buff.ly/rhtRGcr

"the president is literally stealing $230 million of taxpayer money to pay himself and knocking down a wing of the white house in order to build a giant ballroom" I dunno I feel like staggering levels of corruption could still be an effective campaign message

"Now they’re fighting cancer and the United States government."

"Prime Minister Botha, white courtesy phone...Prime Minister Botha, white courtesy phone..."

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

“I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us."

The circles she rolls with in her kids' schools are very tight. And include the NYC police commissioner. But they are not the center of those universes even if they think and act like they are.

You're never going to get banner New York Times coverage of No Kings unless they're given reason to impugn the protestors. It's time to start measuring the lack of coverage as evidence of how effective this dissident movement is.

NYC judges have an extremely accurate statistical instrument to help them decide whether to release someone before their trial. But a new study finds that judges often disregard those release recommendations, especially for Black defendants.
