Just to be clear, this ban would have prevented me from coming to the US, had it existed in 1983.

I've been reporting on the criminal justice system for over a decade and have lived in an authoritarian country overseas, but I've never seen anything like the police presence in ICE-occupied Memphis. Here's my dispatch: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump, last week: “When will I get credit for having created ... perhaps the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country?” Reality, this week: The unemployment rate has reached a four-year high and 2025 is the worst year for job growth since the Great Recession. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The tariffs certainly appear to be working. American companies are no longer importing goods from China. Instead, they're becoming Chinese companies and producing good domestically.

The White House is not private property. It does not belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to the people. I’m introducing legislation to protect the building’s historic character against the president’s bulldozer and Marie Antoinette ballroom.

"Sir, we're getting a lot of buzz from your comments attacking that beloved director who was slain. Whom should we go after next?" "Maybe an astronaut?" "Brilliant, sir. Everyone hates them."

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Heng Guan visited and filmed these sites after getting past the Chinese firewall to read my colleagues' Pulitzer Prize-winning series in BuzzFeed News. Read that series here: www.buzzfeednews.com/article/megh...

A Chinese dissident filmed Uyghur detention sites and then released the video on YouTube after fleeing China. He sought asylum in the US. Now the Trump admin wants to deport him to a country with strong ties to China. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/15/u...

Dial M for metaphor.

"He took every Advanced Placement class he could, earned a scholarship to Brown and worked at Wawa over the summer to make enough money to buy a laptop, according to his two sisters."

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

I’m not even going to publish a copy of Trumps comments about Reiner and his wife. But occasionally he reminds me that he is simply one of the worst, most degenerate individuals who has ever existed in American public life. Hard to think of any more vicious, vile and sociopathic.

“No one should be in danger of losing their rights because of the color of their skin,” Coffin Babb added. “We’re all people and we need to stand up for each other. We’re neighbors.”

... thankfully, the judge set a new date for a new hearing January 12, with reference to the "widespread interest" in the case! Yet sadly our hero Guan Heng remains jailed here. Picture above is of me and my sign: THANK YOU GUAN HENG! for his precious effort in exposing the Uyghur genocide.

Today attended a rally for Guan Heng outside the prison where he is held, in Binghamton, New York. We stood in the snow, and listened to a court hearing online via speaker from 830am. Thankfully the judge did NOT go along with any immediate deportation but instead 1/2

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

ON XAI IN MEMPHIS: “There’s a horrible, sulfurous smell in the air… residents don’t want to open their windows… BOXTOWN is 90% Black… Musk did everything behind closed doors… environmental racism… not many jobs, no direct investment in BOXTOWN…”

ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.

what trump is doing to the somali-american community is deplorable.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

A mass shooting at my alma mater Brown University hit hard, proving no community is safe from senseless violence in a land with more guns than people Trump added insult to injury by claiming there is "nothing you can do." We can do a lot about guns My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/brow...

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

"The virus can lead to brain swelling, which can cause lasting damage, including blindness, deafness and intellectual disabilities..." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/11/w...

It has been 13 years since the lives of 20 children and six educators were taken in minutes by a gunman armed with a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle and high-capacity magazines at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut. Two other people were wounded. 🧵

No parent wants this text. Thinking of the Brown University community.

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

AS A PROFESSOR, I AM ASKING HOW ARE OUR STUDENTS SUPPOSED TO LEARN IN THESE CONDITIONS? HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO TO SCHOOL AND TAKE EXAMS KNOWING SOMEONE MIGHT JUST SHOW UP WITH AN EASY TO ACQUIRE AUTOMATIC WEAPON? HOW??????????

This is devastating and our society continues to enable this. As Karl Jacoby says, we could stop it.

“Good to see you again. Yes, your table is ready. Please follow me.”

This man doesn't just lead from the rear. Slava Ukraini!

Looks like shit bro

The queues in Odesa today to charge devices. Power and water supply down because of Russian attacks this night

Very early in his career, Dick Van Dyke worked with Heckle and Jeckle. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk0S...

what in the fuck

looking great, sir

It was genuinely an honor to meet Mr. Chavarria at Tuesday's hearing. His story is incredible; grew up in a refugee camp in Honduras, graduated as a valedictorian at 15, got scholarships in the US, met his husband here, became a US citizen, and is now a school superintendent in Vermont.

Somali Minnesotans can speak to this xenophobia so clearly because they feel the consequences of his hateful words. Read what Faisa has to say:
