Introducing the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, which had never convened a hearing because DOJ never brought a case to it for its first 30 years. That changed on July 15. Here’s the story, with thanks and credit to @seamushughes.bsky.social for catching the filing:

19 July 1931 | An Austrian Jewish girl, Rosa Kress, was born in Vienna. She emigrated to the Netherlands. She was deported to #Auschwitz in September 1942 and murdered in a gas chamber.

A small team is working to digitise decades of Somali history in the country’s main public radio station.

If you’re breathing smoke, you need to know what Trump’s doing: “The science office operated the world’s only laboratory specializing in controlled human-exposure studies to determine the health effects of vehicle exhaust, wildfire smoke, ozone and other pollutants. That laboratory has been closed.”

Clara Ester, a civil rights activist who was one of the last remaining witnesses to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, has died

... Courtney faces a problem most women never have to think about. She must squeeze herself into a bra several sizes too small. Courtney wears a size GG, but the bras offered by KY’s prison system are poorly made and only come in small or large sizes, the latter still too small for Courtney.

True patriotism is not flag-waving. It is defending the Constitution when masked agents racially profile Latino workers. He confronted ICE, alerted neighbors and together they stopped an attempted abduction. No warrant. No court order. Know your rights: PAXIS.app Keep it free: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS

“The system does not simply reflect inequality—it produces it.” @jeremycherson.bsky.social writes that cash bail cages people who have not been convicted of a crime simply because they are poor.

I just peeped a trailer for her new show — they may have messed around and finally given Octavia Spencer a character to chew on. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/15/a...

It’s funny how everyone says they’d kill for their child, but half the population doesn’t understand how someone would cross a border for their child.

Last year, I learned about an artist/performer named Valaida Snow (1900-1956). She was a jazz performer who played with major bands of the 20s & 30s. She played a bunch of instruments and toured extensively across the world. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valaida...

THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵

I’m in serious need for help. My cat Leorio is only 5 and is having a sudden medical emergency. My family and I are trying to pay for it but we need help. Please share or donate whatever you can. ko-fi.com/dare2dream

New: Late last night, Taylor Farms quietly posted an official recall notice We now know that the parasite-linked iceberg lettuce was shipped to Walmart & food distributors in 27 (!) states It was for some reason still being sent out up until Thursday July 16 www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

From Sophie Schott, in our magazine: "But when your baby is diagnosed with a lethal anomaly, we cannot help you. Not because we lack the training or the skill. Because the law forbids it."

We are still roughly $150 away from our next milestone goal and have been for the two weeks. If a handful of people gave $20, it would help get us to $3k. 🌸 gofund.me/60b12303f

SHOCKING TWIST! "Four experts in waterproofing materials told the Post that the peeling “strongly suggested errors in the application process.” Trump and his team, however, appear to be sticking to their story."

18 July 1925 | A Czech Jewish woman, Mariana Neumannová, was born in Prague. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt Ghetto on 6 September 1943. She did not survive.

When the federal agents implementing Trump’s mass deportation crusade mistreat, abuse, and fatally shoot residents and citizens of the US, the public deserves answers and accountability. That won’t come from an agency and an administration that routinely lies about these tragedies.

This month, we published another article revealing that MSG kept a database of VIP event attendees, labeling some of them as LGBTQIA and assigning a “risk score” to others. This is also now free to read:

In April, we reported on the MSG surveillance machine–an operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. You can now read it for free.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

Sensitivity Consulting Request: Well hi! We are producing an upcoming show on witches, and would love to speak to and consult with some practicing witches, and/or those who specialize in the history of witchcraft. Scholars and personal experience welcome! Please share your recommendations! 🌟🔮

Congress granted funds to restore 988 services for LGBTQ+ youth months ago. But it's still gone. Here's what it looks like when a service like this is ended; almost 70,000 people reaching out for help, then a cliff.

Why the fuck is the Department of Homeland Security allowed anywhere near our election records? DHS was created specifically to protect against "terrorist acts." Even if the lies about China were true and they were meddling in our elections, the thugs of DHS and ICE have no role investigating it.

For real. #noai #art

Dude, do you NOT own a mirror?

Four days apart. One Canadian dies fighting wildfires in the U.S. Trump threatens Canada with tariffs over their wildfires.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Christians like this pastor from Edmonds Presbyterian Church weren't a minuscule minority in the USA?

So, to recap, Trump had control of the Government in 2020, but the election was "rigged" and "stollen" from him, but in 2024, when he was not in power, it all worked perfectly in his favor. Now he controls the house, the senate and has stacked the SCOTUS, but somehow, he's still a victim.

NEW: Governor Andy Beshear says he got calls from two different non-state agencies saying McConnell had died. This was before the "proof of life" photo was shared by McConnell's team. newrepublic.com/post/213199/...
