"After federal immigration officers in Charlotte saw a man taking photos of them, they chased him nearly 2 miles down a main road and made plans to “smash” into him, video played in court Thursday showed. They broke his window, charged him with a federal felony and accused him of assaulting them."

Immigrants make up a significant proportion of all the country's doctors. New policies are making it harder and less appealing for foreign-born physicians to come to the U.S.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Single payer now!

And they never will, my friend. They never will.

Six to eight hour-long shoots. No breaks. No phones. The “Whatever” podcast wears women down, then turns their exhaustion into rage-bait clips that funnel young men deeper into misogynist ideology.

Remember last year when we said we would drop The Tribune's paywall if we raised enough money to support the transition to free? About that… 😁

We found that 11 of Trump’s DOT appointees disclosed between $12 million and $52 million in stock holdings and other financial interests in airlines, railroads, oil and gas corporations, transportation technology firms and other related businesses. By @jessecoburn.bsky.social

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Vaccine-preventable diseases are unimpressed with your consumption of beef tallow and peptides and supplements in lieu of vaccines. You’re the antelope and the lion is going to track you down.

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

Bono on Donald Trump: “America is the best idea the world ever came up with. But Donald Trump is potentially the worst idea that ever happened to America. He’s trying to hijack the idea of America. Wise people of conscience should not let this man turn your country into a casino”

Why did young men move left in this month’s US elections? | Cory Alpert

Officials at the University of Houston used Dataminr to surveil students, while University of Connecticut administrators voiced concerns over protests against a military contractor and major donor.

As Epstein questions linger, Trump falls back into familiar habit: lashing out at female reporters

Digging into the data of what's taking place with Black women unemployment and this graph is pretty damning. You can see the EXACT month Black women's unemployment begins to splinter and that what hit us FIRST is now coming for all other women. This is #TheDoubleTax. #blacksky #news #econsky

The first real turning point for me after Obama's election was the refusal to prosecute those involved in the Bush era torture program

“Lift yourself out of poverty by saving money” “NO not like THAT”

As Pope Leo XIV prepares to embark on his first trip abroad with a visit to Turkey, there has been a surge of renewed optimism over the possible reopening of a Greek Orthodox religious seminary that has been closed since 1971.

NEW: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s devotion to state sovereignty has long been central to his political identity. Yet he has helped President Donald Trump erode states’ authority over elections, policing and deploying the National Guard.

Earlier this year, the United States deported 252 Venezuelans to El Salvador and paid its government to imprison them. Now two human-rights organizations have found that all of those men were physically abused, Conor Friedersdorf writes:

This one's for the all the feminists dealing with Cousin Cuntservative, Abuelo Anti-Abobo, Uncle Uninformed, and Tía Trumpsessed ✨🖕🍂🦃 The latest #FeministBuzzkills podcast episode is your Bible to the Bible, thanks to our spectacular guest @JohnFugelsang.bsky.social!

This perfectly explains the outages a few weeks ago.

Trump’s rapid escalation—from calling Members of Congress “traitors” to urging supporters to “focus all energy” on unfounded claims of election fraud—fits an authoritarian pattern: when power feels threatened, the response is to inflame fear, erode democratic processes, and frame dissent as criminal

HOLODOMOR: Stalin's 1932-3 genocide by starvation of Ukrainians holodomormuseum.org.ua/en/the-histo...

Under Trump, post-liberal intellectuals have abandoned tradition for radicalism and scholarship for vulgarity. George Packer on Laura Field’s new book, “Furious Minds,” and the rot of the MAGA mind:

Centenials don’t protest bc they don’t have the time off or money from their 3 jobs but they VOTE! "CNN Exit polls show that 70% of 18-29 voted for Spanberger in VA. In NJ, 68% voted for Sherrill. In NY, 78% of the youngest voters voted for Mamdani. In CA, 79% of 18-29 supported Prop 50."

Gov. Jeff Landry eliminated parole for prisoners arrested after Aug. 1, 2024, and tightened eligibility rules for those already in prison. Then he set all of that aside for one group: undocumented immigrants. Why? To have them deported. By @richardawebster.bsky.social & Bobbi-Jeanne Misick

This is a good article for no one to read. Blue Crew, progressives and liberals already know that the right has sold its soul. So do conservative Never Trumpers. MAGA cultists will ignore it. But it is so, so true, so I'll post it anyway. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

DHS is abusing its authority to shut down ICE-watching accounts. Reporting on public ICE activity is protected by the First Amendment. It’s also something journalists do routinely. Senator Wyden is right to call out this attack on the First Amendment.

Ethiopian volcano erupts for first time in 12,000 years

National Homeless Rights Advocates Praise Democratic Pennsylvania Lawmakers’ ‘Shelter First’ Bill | “If Pennsylvania passes this, it will be the best law on the books,” Eric Tars, senior policy director @homelesslaw.bsky.social, told @patlamarche.bsky.social.

No president should have the power to silence journalists or control who gets to question them. Good for the AP for refusing to back down. Others should follow their example.

The Tennessee race that suddenly has Trump world nervous

A group of immigrant rights organizers are helping people use Fortnite to practice what to do if they encounter ICE agents in the wild.

Elon Musk’s latest feature on X has had some shocking and unintended consequences. trib.al/wFuPXVp Starting Friday, X users were able to use a new “about this account” feature to see what country accounts were based in. And for many “America First” posters, this revealed an inconvenient truth...
