Live To Tell — one of the greatest songs ever recorded — was released 40 years ago today We're still not worthy / we old

This is absolutely bonkers I hate these people

My latest for @huffpost.com: ICE Denies Wrongdoing In Death Of Man In California Immigration Facility "ICE can deny wrongdoing, but the reality remains the same: Alberto Gutierrez Reyes died while in their custody," LA Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez told HuffPost. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-de...

Big thanks to @noahmichelson.bsky.social for the thoughtful edits and for publishing this piece at HuffPost Personal @huffpost.com

NEW: It’s difficult to account for the abuses trans immigrants face in ICE custody after Trump destroyed safeguards, oversight agencies, and data about detainees. But 3 trans migrants told me what it’s really like: Medical neglect. Solitary confinement. Harassment. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

My essay @huffpost.com on Violins of Hope. And what they mean today. Big thanks @noahmichelson.bsky.social

3 yrs ago I started writing a book that is in stores TODAY. It's narrative nonfiction, anti-fascist spy thriller set in Trump era. It's timely as hell & I'm proud of it. A thread of what people are saying abt it & why I hope you'll help make it a bestseller www.simonandschuster.com/books/To-Cat...

Training material, which HuffPost obtained, shows the multiple ways agents didn’t follow agency rules.

At this point, if you win an award on any major award show and get to make a speech and essentially are given a chance and a platform to say something about what's going on in this country and you don't, that's a problem

There is nothing like watching the Grammys to make me feel ancient and completely out of touch with everything

What the serious fuck

The federal immigration agents who killed Alex Pretti have not been placed on leave and are continuing to work www.huffpost.com/entry/agents... via @jessicaschulberg.bsky.social

New dispatch, from me: They killed Alex Pretti, but they couldn't crush Minneapolis www.huffpost.com/entry/minnea...

it's a good time to remind ourselves: love isn't a get out of jail free card or an excuse to look the other way & it's never too late to draw a line in the sand or stop giving chances to people who refuse to change

ICE, CBP, and Border Patrol have proven themselves incapable of obeying the law, let alone enforcing it for others; unable to self-soothe, let alone keep the peace. Why must ordinary people be asked to stay calm and not upset them? www.theverge.com/policy/86745...

This woman speaks for the majority of Americans. 🙌🙏🫶👇

Dems should introduce lots of such legislation, demand hearings and debate, make a huge fuss, use paid media to call out GOP members who are blocking their consideration--and make clear this GOP Congress is enabling the madness.

People are rolling trash bins down the street toward the federal agents and leaving them in the middle of the street, apparently creating a barricade.

More and more angry residents keep pouring in and are shouting at the federal agents, who have been retaliating with lots of tear gas. People have been running up to people getting tear-gassed and giving them water to pour in their faces. It's negative six degrees out here

I'm on site where a federal agent shot a Minneapolis man this morning. It's bad. Dozens of federal agents are facing off with hundreds of outraged residents. People being tear gassed, helicopters above, I keep hearing pops, and lots of loud BANGS. This smoke is from tear gas:

New: In the days following the killing of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, ICE agents in one local office were called into a meeting. “We were briefed on avoiding standing in front of cars, wherever possible,” one agent present at the meeting told HuffPost. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-of...

Scoop: U.S. Customs and Border Protection is requiring officers to undergo more crowd-control training to square off with demonstrators in cities like Minneapolis. This will likely result in more officers certified to shoot pepper balls and tear gas canisters. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

They have quite an operation going. www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

NEW — If you watched Trump’s speech purportedly about the economy today, it might explain why they giving him cognitive exams. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Sure ain’t

Make it viral.

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

A powerful new piece from @rebeccamorrison.bsky.social

I’m sorry but my dog’s chew toy has no business being this hunky

Tremane Wood’s brother said he killed a man during a botched robbery. But Wood was sentenced to die for the crime — until today. This morning, minutes before Wood was scheduled to be executed, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) granted him clemency. www.huffpost.com/entry/treman...

In 2004, my mom wrote about what war costs—not just for those who fight, but for those who wait, worry, and live with the aftermath. Twenty years later, I’m sharing her words again, along with my reflections as a veteran, son, and father. tcspress.com/2025/11/11/t...

I cried while editing this new @huffpost.com Personal piece and I've cried every time I've read it since then It's one of the saddest but most beautiful essays we've ever published and I'm so happy it's out in the world today But, once again, you've been warned: this one is going to hurt

Hey fellow cis folks We should be doing anything and everything we can to support trans people right now Donate Shut down transphobic bullshit wherever you see or hear it Talk to the people in your life who don’t know anything about trans folks Put your privilege in front of you and FIGHT

Whenever I see a stranger eating an ice cream on a random Tuesday afternoon, I wonder if it’s because something wonderful happened or maybe something awful, or maybe there was no reason at all, which is my favorite reason of all, and I take it as a reminder to look for less reasons and more pleasure

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

40 years ago today, the Golden Girls debuted, and it remains as smart, hilarious, political, heartbreaking, comforting, human and ahead of its time now as it was then Also… if you had to pick your favorite (and I know that’s a mostly impossible ask), who would it be? I’m going with Dorothy
