"If we treated animals like this, we'd all be arrested" Congresswoman Adelita Grijelva Arizona describes horrific conditions at ICE camp

Interesting to note the different reactions on the dais the moment gunshots were heard at the WHCA Dinner:

Reminder that Trump, Jeanine Pirro, and MAGA members of Congress are working to undo gun safety laws in DC every way they can. Last night's shooting in Ward 1 is a clear example of why those efforts are dangerous and wrong 🧵

"Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth has commanded invasions and murders, overseen multiple US wars & demanded billions more in Pentagon spending. It’s time to arrest Hegseth for war crimes. buff.ly/jpjid5z

Turnout was about 20%. Which seems high for a population slowly being genocided in a big concentration camp.

Prepare to see a lot of this stuff from the right.

Is there someone dead in the lobby or is there someone in custody? Was the person armed or not? Did he make it into the ballroom or not? Usually there should be a pretty wide grace period on finding this out, but there are literally hundreds of reporters in the room and nobody knows shit.

Hearing the head of the WHCA—who just days ago participated in a Paramount dinner “honoring” Trump— say tonight that the First Amendment is “fragile” because of a random shooter rather than because of the president sitting next to her on the podium is, I guess, exactly as pathetic as you’d expect.

LATEST: The remainder of the White House Correspondents Dinner has been canceled with plans for a Trump press conference at the White House

Not only is @apnews.com attending the White House correspondents dinner, they invited one of the Trump staffers who kicked them out of the press pool as their guest. This is all so wrong. apnews.com/article/whit...

Israel, w/ Trump’s support, just killed journalist Amal Khalil in Lebanon. Tonight, American journalists are partying w/ Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. @premthakker.bsky.social explains how Israel targeted Amal & slams journalists for the lack of solidarity. 🔗 zeteo.com/subscribe

Mexico says 2 US federal agents who died were not authorized to participate in any local operation

Have some damn self-respect for yourselves as professionals. You don't have to go. You don't have to televise it. Other choices remain readily available.

Trump promised to be the peace candidate. He gave us an Iran war, w/ Americans crushed on gas, food, & housing. He promised to expose a corrupt elite. But he covered up the Epstein files. I want a new home for Team America. Anti-war, anti-Epstein class, pro working class.

UPDATE: The plane transporting the El Gamal family has been turned around and is heading back to Denver. They deserve fair treatment under the law.

Members of Congress who abuse their power and the public’s trust need to be held accountable. We need clear processes to protect congressional staff and investigate allegations. Congress must be held to a higher standard.

OMG "the tool has three modes, subtle, human, and CEO."

They helped American servicemembers in a time of need, and now, Trump wants to betray them. We all know that ghoul Stephen Miller is behind this. For the sake of our country and what remains of our reputation around the world, he needs to be fired.

“There is no reason to don a tuxedo and celebrate this racist wannabe tyrant. There is nothing to be gained by showing up to the dinner with the hopes of offering any small act of protest. Members of the industry should skip the event instead” - from Zeteo

‘I saw the backlash coming’: civil rights activist Kimberlé Crenshaw on America and race

Here they are: our two top Iran negotiators. No diplomatic experience. In way over their head. Both with massive financial conflicts of interest, their fortunes tied to the Middle East dictators that make them rich. What a disaster.

The Trump administration actively dismantling American leadership in science, a nihilistic legacy that will stretch for years as long as political ideology supplants evidence as the basis for policy making, oversight, and funding. 🎁 wapo.st/3P3DSY2

If Trump would just devote his attention to the ballroom, I am highly confident that there is a career FSO or civil servant at State who could manage these negotiations more competently.

We Are Nothing Like the Gestapo.

trump proclaiming 'talks!' -- to which iran says nope -- then trump says, um, i'm now CANCELING 'TALKS' please adjust, accordingly, the precious american journalistic resources devoted to writing down and minutely parsing words this president says. and happy whcd!

While many Western countries have condemned Iran’s restrictions on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz as a breach of international law, reaction has been relatively muted about the “clearly unlawful” war that the United States and Israel launched against Iran, says law professor Maryam Jamshidi.

All out for @aparnafordc.bsky.social! Our DC members voted overwhelmingly to endorse Aparna for Ward 1! We trust Aparna to champion a more affordable and just city-one that prioritizes people over profits.

Time to stop saying "Trump's base is rock solid," because that doesn't tell us anything real. The better question is what's happening with the 2024 coalition that elected him. Look at these abysmal numbers among noncollege whites, rural, white men, young, Latino: newrepublic.com/article/2094...

My latest. More thoughts on language, culture, and violence against women. We actually have a word for wife-killing. Why don't we use it?

The ADL permanently sacrificed its reputation to get in good with a massively dangerous antisemite and white nationalist. They defended him and stood up for him even after his Nazi salute. Here's how he repays them. This is what happens when you think you're using bigots. They're always using you.

Dan Goldman is unleashing his massive personal fortune into this race. A blatant attempt to buy this election and subvert the will of NY-10 voters. He may have the money, but we have the people. Can’t thank @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social enough for coming to NYC to support our grassroots movement.
