A toddler nearly died at an ICE detention facility in Dilley, Texas. After more than a week in intensive care, she was sent back. Sarah Stillman reports. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Ahmed hosted Al Jazeera’s The Stream, where we used social media to narrate the trajectory of the Arab uprisings and crowdsource questions to hold power to account. He’s a pioneer in this field. His jailing over online speech is particularly enraging. Terrifying sign of what’s to come. Free Ahmed.

House Dems could have passed the Anti-Corruption Act anytime from 2019–2022, but they never moved the bill. (It would also end their stock holdings.) The Senate, in turn, could have expanded filibuster carve-out for bills on ethics and elections, but Dem leaders did not start there as a priority.

You fools have let Billiam Stencil sucker you into another sustained couple days of Discourse over his intentionally inflammatory takes. I am begging: DO NOT REPLY TO STANCIL THREADS DO NOT ENGAGE WITH STANCIL POSTERS

The index of consumer sentiment isn't broken; models that try to predict it just don't have the right input variables. I fix that and find that, yes, high nominal price levels explain why the vibes are so off. It's the prices, stupid www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-14...

If you hear someone say, “this was an open secret for years,” and your response is to ask why they didn’t tell anyone, I think you misunderstand the term “open secret”. What they’ve saying is that people without power couldn’t get the powerful to listen to them.

12.7 million battery electric vehicles were sold globally in 2025. In 2010, the number was barely 10,000. In China, 1 in 2 new cars sold last year was electric. The transition is happening faster than almost anyone predicted.

People really just need to grapple with the fact that the vast majority of "two-staters" are, literally, lying.

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

I reported it a week before Bloomberg, who used exactly the same research (that I dug up) and then didn't credit me www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-indus...

Holy fucking shit it's real lol Olivia Reingold of the Free Press asks Abdul El-Sayed "does Israel have a right to exist as a Jewish state?" AES: "What do you mean by a Jewish state?" [...] "If you can't define the question, I'm not gonna answer it.

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is

Netanyahu has been running this play trying to drag the US into war with Iran for literally decades and Trump is the one who was stupid enough to fall for it

"But Iran is bad--" Shut the fuck up. The United States government is worse.

People need to accept that the only viable solution here is mass-market guillotines, with or without corresponding Truth & Reconciliation Commissions.

let's be clear about what's happening: donald trump and benjamin netanyahu, whose countries have been committing genocide in gaza since 2023, unilaterally started a war with iran, and are now threatening genocide there.

Plus, of course... www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

The bulwark is run by a right wing psychopath Zack do you know that

I also think it's very irresponsible for massive accounts to just go saying this shit. But then I also think Rupar's misleading text summaries/partial quotes of the videos he shares are irresponsible, so this is why he has a million followers and I have 4000.

Funny title though, since Israel has never once defined a single element of its borders, one of the only countries on the planet with this status.

The thing is is that the critics of Biden were proven right and they were proven so right that Kamala Harris wrote in her book and has admitted on her book tour multiple times that they were right.

The Democratic nominee in her own words saying that her boss was incapable of showing equal amounts of sympathy based on the race of the victims

There are certain news influencers on here who seem invested in getting us to be even more anxious than we already are. As if we aren’t taking Trump and henchmen seriously enough. I think that’s whack. For one thing, we’re on BlueSky. We’re already anxious! And notoriously serious! Famously!

Israeli officials have openly stated that all Shia Lebanese are their enemy, and most of these are Shia-majority towns. It is a genocidal regime. And destroyed towns include Christian ones too.

This is . . . nonsense? Downed air crews have beacons that transmit their location, as well as encrypted radios, etc. This is not only public information, but it's included in all the reporting of the last few hours.

Legitimately, a hero rat.

I wrote about how the Hasan Piker drama serves as a proxy fight between centrists and the left, and how it exposes the real priorities of Democrats like Cory Booker.

YOU 🫵 are personally responsible for every flaw in the democratic coalition

Claude’s not a human and can’t be creative. You’re weird.

One of the biggest stone-cold LOSERS in American history.

The Israeli official and convicted terrorist who just yesterday declared his support for a military unit that assaulted a CNN crew & killed a 78-year-old Palestinian-American is now today drinking champagne to celebrate a new law to execute Palestinians.

your grandparents voting for reagan

"we should never do litmus tests" is one of those things that consultants think sounds smart but falls apart if you think about it for two fucking seconds

“I just want to watch Romulans and the Federation shoot at each other” Andy Weir you are the only Star Trek “fan” to have ever said that

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

NGL, I'm legit concerned for those other planes that have been labelled "damaged."

US/Israel now bombing university campuses — the same places that were the sites of anti-regime protests a few weeks ago. And I wonder what provosts and deans of US universities on Qatar and the UAE are thinking this morning
