Brutal kidnappings and exploitation aren't just 'news’; they are a lived reality. We have become dangerously desensitized to the unthinkable, and it is time to wake up.

I worry that we are so distracted, entire genocides are happening and we do nothing, say nothing, take little if any notice.

We been called conspiracy theorists in order to disparage our work. We report, regularly, on a vast conspiracy in Ontario to bankrupt the province, end public education and end public healthcare. We bring the receipts. Corruption is made up of collusion and conspiracy. www.corruptario.ca

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

It's a travesty that Bari Weiss (or David Ellison, or Trump) censored this report on CECOT, forcing Americans to watch bootleg Canadian versions of 60 Minutes to find out what our own government is doing.

worth noting that the legit NYT reporters who come on here just to post their articles get a good bit of pickup

Despite knowing she is an American, her attorney said the feds are keeping Dulce Consuelo Morales Diaz in custody. They assigned her an A-Number—an “illegal alien ID”—and gave her a different country of origin: Mexico. “She wasn’t born in Mexico,” her attorney said. open.substack.com/pub/nickvale...

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.   ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

A private call between Trump-appointed envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin advisor Yuri Ushakov was just leaked — and it shows the American envoy effectively acting as a strategist for Moscow.

Just a head’s up that I’ve continued making updates to this guide: most recently, to remove the caveat on Here WeGo for not having CarPlay, adding Citymapper, and a suggestion to try the DVD/Blu-ray section at your local library as a streaming alternative. More to come!

This is much, much more significant than the Comey indictment but has gotten like 0.1% of the media coverage

@karenho.bsky.social knew it and didn’t even need to see the research apple.news/AZ-AkZ79rTwy...

absolutely outrageous and shameful

Research conducted by @transjournalists.org “identified 43 outlets including the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and The Daily Beast running with the disproven stories of a ‘trans shooter’ and ‘trans bullets.’”

Incredible story here: ”Tens of millions flowed directly from this unregistered shell entity into the president's personal accounts. It is shameless bribery of the American leader without even the pretense of looking into the source of funds.“ dekleptocracy.substack.com/p/trumps-she...

This is feeling more like a Reichstag fire candidate than the previous atrocity.

This is amazing.

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

The US President has ordered the creation of ”specialized” military units to “quell civil disturbances” in all 50 of our states. Military units under his personal control. Deployed across our homeland, in peacetime. Little time is left to stop this insanity.

In addition to the horrible crime, loss of life, injuries, violation, yet another senseless gun massacre, this has all the makings of a Reichstag fire moment. #minneapolis

And here you go. I honestly do not understand the moral cowardice that leads some of our fellow citizens to not speak out against what's going on.

First, Donald Trump used the Marines and the National Guard to support his mass deportation agenda in Los Angeles. Now, he's using similar tactics in D.C. like a tinpot dictator. Don't look away. Don't stay silent. If you do, don't be surprised if it's your city next.

Washington DC is a trial balloon for deploying military in blue states "Trump’s framing here is that Washington will be a kind of guinea pig; he’s using it as a test lab"..."and that the changes to come will set an example for blue cities across America" www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

I would love to see Dems use the 30 hours of debate until right wingers confirm Emil Bove to a lifetime appointment as reward for sending these men to a concentration camp by reading their stories of torture, one after another.

And a gift article from today. I don’t care how much Hamas is implicated. Our prophets are screaming at us. Shabbat tastes ashen. Our festivals feel like ridiculous parodies.

ICE just prevented me from entering an immigration detention facility in my district—a clear violation of federal law. Members of Congress have the right to immediately access these facilities. Listen here 👇
