An impressive list, girls, but I know we can do better

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

ICE isn’t going after the worst of the worst. This morning, they took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district. #ice #chicago

My heart goes out to everyone enduring these tragic circumstances, and I sincerely hope that peace and justice will soon prevail across Sudan and among its resilient people.

A horrific mass murder is unfolding in Sudan, where no one can see it. The RSF are murdering civilians in El Fasher, having finally defeated the Sudanese army forces holding out in the city. The BBC has managed to speak to some who escaped www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7fC...

Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD. Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned). When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

A new investigation has found that US officials knew that Israel deliberately killed Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022. The US covered up the truth to preserve its relationship with Israel, despite its killing of a US citizen.

"With at least 34 trenches measuring 2 kilometers long, the grave in the Dhumair desert is among the most extensive created during the Syrian civil war, Reuters has found. Witness accounts and the dimensions of the new site suggest that tens of thousands of people could be buried there."

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone. And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Sign of the times: @mjgault.bsky.social interviewed ABC's John Quiñones re: his podcast about Vanessa Guillén, a soldier who was murdered at Ft Hood in 2020. When Gault asked how Sec. Def. Pete Hegseth could roll back reforms made in response to Guillén's death, a PR person cut in to shut it down.

Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said.   Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any.   Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.

According to Drop Site News, it was a “double-tap” strike by Israel. Hitting Dalloul’s family home then hitting the rescuers once they arrived. It comes 24 hours after Israel assassinated the entire, remaining Al Jazeera crew in Gaza City. This was Motasem A Dalloul’s message a few hours ago. 👇

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza

Liberals willing to embrace anti-trans bullshit because they like Buttigieg don’t believe in anything. No, he didn’t have a point. No, The Advocate did not take him out of context. No, there’s no middle ground. The issue here is simple: It’s human rights or discrimination.

oh my fucking god

The government of Israel is exterminating every man, woman and child in Gaza. And our governments, and most leaders of liberal institutions in "the West" - parties both left and right, the press, universities - are doing all they can to support this. This is the central political fact of our time.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. 🧵

1. On Tuesday, Congresswoman Sarah McBride gave a interview with Ezra Klein at the New York Times. It has been used to seed the ground for a rightward shift in the Democratic Party on trans rights. Some allies have failed to grasp the problems with her approach. Here's what McBride gets wrong.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

This jibes with contemporary reporting that the raids hit several residential buildings, in each case killing about 15 people and wounding more. Maybe a little more of the conversation should be about how cavalier we apparently are about bombing civilian homes? www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/...

This is shameful capitulation, every bit as craven as the refusal of American institutions to stand up to Trump.

Musk believes he should dictate not only the policies of the entire federal government but also private law firms as well
