Read @carlsullivan.bsky.social's blogpost about why @flipboard.com is strengthening its partnerships with independent and worker-owned publications.

A recent Congressional letter accuses DHS of not being compliant with a major civil rights law due to the mistreatment of disabled ICE detainees. As I reported for @motherjones.com, this is worsened by the fact DHS' office for civil rights has TWO EMPLOYEES now. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Early studies suggest versions of mRNA vaccines could be effective against certain kinds of cancer too. Now companies will have to wonder if the animus towards mRNA vaccine will spill over into those efforts too. Great, just great.

As the news industry implodes, @flipboard.com is doing everything we can to help independent media and journalists who are starting their own publications. Here's my ode to indy journalism, perfect for Valentine's Day. about.flipboard.com/inside-flipb... #Media #Journalism

This is immoral.

According to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, the suspect of the National Guard shooting in Washington D.C. is said to, at one point, have worked with the CIA in one of its paramilitary groups also known as “Zero Units.” But what are "Zero Units?" www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

As soon as this new information was unleashed, people began looking at the location data for accounts that primarily serve to stoke political tensions in the U.S. with far-right narratives that are often misleading or outright false.

today in stories that aged well... nypost.com/2024/07/18/u...

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

The United States is experiencing historic drops in crime across almost all categories, including murder, burglary and motor vehicle theft. But crime statistics don’t necessarily change how safe Americans feel; those beliefs are driven by political preferences.

15 years in and we're just getting started! Flipboard's CEO @mmccue.bsky.social spoke with @forbes.com's Andy Meek about being digital survivors, @surf.social, and our role in the future of publishing. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

Earlier this week a post went viral on Bluesky that claimed ICE had spent $61,218 on guided missile warheads and explosive components. @WIRED took a look at what might actually have happened (looks like the ICE team entered the wrong procurement code). https://flip.it/evOg7y #immigration #ice […]

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The scam texts are out of control. I used to get a few a week; now get up to a dozen in a single day. Mostly job scams but also "let's meet for coffee" stuff. Others seeing this? Any advice for making it stop?

"A pardoned Capitol rioter was arrested last weekend for allegedly threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries."

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

I used to have very good impressions when I hear the words “Silicon Valley”. That’s all gone now.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.
