The plane to Ethiopia below is the second private jet owned by MAGA billionaires Joe Nakash and Eli Gindi to do ICE charters. The other one, which I wrote about last month, did a third-country removal to an Eswatini prison, plus ICE stops in Liberia and Ghana. gillianbrockell.com/more-maga-bi...

My new AI shoes overhearing a commercial break and forcing me to drive to my nearest Leesa mattress retailer.

Concentration camp.

NEW: Teenage boys are pulling classmates' photos off Insta and running them through cheap nudify apps and the fallout has now hit nearly 90 schools across 28 countries with 600+ known victims since 2023, per a WIRED/Indicator analysis. UNICEF estimates 1.2M children were targeted last year alone.

Welp holy fucking shit.

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI: It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

TONIGHT IN CULVER CITY I'm moderating a panel on Black Speculative Fiction at Village Well Books featuring the wickedly talented @tananarivedue.bsky.social @justinkey.bsky.social @ezracdaniels.bsky.social It's going to be dope & u should come! RSVP here: www.eventbrite.com/e/black-spec...

Take a look at the CNN sourcing and fact-checking on their Swalwell article. Look at how many extra people they contacted in order to corroborate claims. They viewed screenshots, called parents/husbands/friends/colleagues. They viewed TV footage and interviews, & more. Two things worth pointing out:

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Oh so that’s why he’s friends with Pam Bondi.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Trump just posted a graphic video of a woman being beaten to death with a hammer

Exclusive: The acting director of the CDC has delayed publication of a report showing the covid-19 vaccine cut the likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations for healthy adults last winter by about half, according to two scientists.

This is catastrophic.

Cops fractured his skull for standing by in peaceful protest. And people in power claimed he assaulted the cops. No hell greater for those who smeared him. RIP.

Art of the deal.

after a quick review of my timeline i feel the need to point to the sign

People should actually be very alarmed that while AP's business model is shot to bits, Americans are still very much reliant on the news it delivers. The alternatives in some cases are inferior or non-existent. apnews.com/article/news...

Awful www.ajc.com/news/2026/02...

Trump is bribing & pressuring his would-be-vassal-state autocrats to build a global network of concentration camps. This is the foreign policy side of the “pretermission” crisis in immigration court. 🧵

Keep going. Save yourself.

800,000 people who died because of the lack of lifesaving food and medical aid were unavailable for comment.

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

Reactionary centrists and republicans spent years smearing, belittling, or dismissing anyone who properly described the Trumpism as a white supremacist project. bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

You don't really want this. So much of TV is changed and discovered in the process. No master plan survives 13 eps of production. Your actors' abilities and chemistry opens up story paths you never imagined. Other ideas sink like a lead balloon. Master plans are overrated.

Between this and her shooting the dog they’re basically living a John Waters movie.

“For God’s sake, it seems like I was just on 8 Out Of 10 Cats, and now they’re making me come back in to do Never Mind The Buzzcocks,” said Arthur Batts

I’m going to vomit. We’re being held hostage by these psychos

Trash. TRASH.

Two-year-old Kaleth is being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. He is getting sicker with each passing day. He will not eat the food CoreCivc serves, which detainees have said sometimes has mold and worms. He now has a fever.

"If one thing has been consistent in ICE’s ever expanding mission, it’s that the agency is being used by the administration to instill fear," writes Mathew Rodriguez. theintercept.com/2026/03/28/i...

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. I'll explain it all in 45 minutes on @meidastouch.com here: www.youtube.com/live/H-D8SzR...

These folks hitched their horse to one of the 50 useless white guy wagons who did jack shit then died instead of being brave for ten seconds, but forget the name and see they’re trying. I know people give them shit because the name sucks, but you could argue they’ve helped more than Mueller himself.

Refugee dying after missing chemotherapy while in ICE custody. "[Caregiver Christina] Vilay said [Oudone Lothirath] missed multiple chemotherapy sessions... and was too weak to resume treatment after his release, with the cancer now spread to his bone marrow." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

These studios and outlets are catering to a niche audience in the thousands instead of the American audience in the millions. To please a man who financially provided them nothing. What good is an approved merger of unpopular companies?

Norwegian Hanne Engan arrested at immigration appt “I'm lucky everything ended up being OK for me, but it was just - it's scary how they treat people" ICE officers counting the “bodies” they'd arrested: “It was insane just talking about us like we were a quota not human beings" #ICE #ThisIsAmerica
