Dozens of immigrants at Miami’s Federal Detention Facility are trapped in brutal heat with no AC, sleeping in underwear, and finding roaches in their food. When one spoke out, he was thrown into solitary. Total abuse. We demand an immediate investigation and human rights NOW! 🎥 tomaskenn

There is no need for fireworks now with drone shows. No need for pets and vets to cower and for wild life to suffer as well as the pollution and noise. I said what I said.

This piece is just maddening - in laying out the incredible destruction the Trump admin is doing to scientific research that might help to understand or cure … who knows what. We’ll never know since they’ve destroyed it. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/20/o...

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

There are no economical benefits from datacenters to communities. Convenience stores have more employees, and most of the employees will be shipped in from out of state. Any financial gain to the community will be dwarfed by the increase in electric utility rates. And the noise is unforgiving.

We're here because of corporations driving profits with planned obsolescence and disposables, a culture of overconsumption, and the municipalities and state agencies that keep slapping bandaids on bullet wounds. There are no easy answers here, but we start by knowing the story behind the smoke.

Happy Birthday Anne Frank, born OTD in 1929. Reading these two quotes had me thinking about the paradoxes we hold simultaneously, today.

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

I want you to hear straight from me about what happened at Delaney Hall on Monday and what I saw inside the facility. ICE out of control. GEO Group profiting off of human misery. People living in inhumane conditions. Let me walk you through it.

BREAKING: We’re seeking an emergency court order to stop payouts from President Trump’s billion-dollar slush fund. Million-dollar claims are already being submitted, and the danger is no longer hypothetical. We're taking action to block this unlawful scheme before irreversible damage is done.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Without grants, America's basic research--the risky stuff that lets us understand how things work and lay the groundwork for research that mission-oriented government agencies or for-profit companies pursue--ends. So does its ability to train new scientists.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Pulitzer-worthy reporting here from Minnesota immigrant news @sahanjournal.bsky.social. 70+ children detained during Operation MetroSurge. 30 sent to Dilley. Two dozen held >20 days, a Flores violation. 7 still detained as of March 10. ~20 have been deported. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

🚨This plane landed in Portsmouth, NH, to refuel but sat there for 8 hours and is now headed back to Alexandria. This is how the 75-hour shackling in Oct. and the 82-hour shackling in Dec. began, w false starts. Migrants will likely be shackled in a holding area near tarmac until they try again. 1/

Forgot to do a year-end retrospective, but other than finding new purpose reporting on ICE flights, it’s just this. I’ll never achieve my fantasy of being one of Leonard Cohen’s backup singers, but singing “Who by Fire?” with neighbors was just as meaningful, and real. 🖤
