This Jewish American Heritage Month, we celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of Jewish Americans who have helped shape Los Angeles and our nation.

BASH: There are questions about the private funding for Freedom 250. It's not transparent. Should the public show know? BURGUM: Transparency is always a good thing. I work for the president I think i most transparent ever BASH: So you'll make the donors public? BURGUM: It's not about the donors

Whoa - so now murdering people on the high seas is "bad"?

Everything costs more - here's why that's good news.

The media is being used here. Every day. Leaks create the illusion of progress on these issues and of Trump's "toughness" as a negotiator. The evidence provided by outcomes and to Iranian, Israeli and other reactions to developments suggests gullible media is being used.

Always need to be fiscally responsible right after the giant tax cut and the unnecessary war

The Minnesota Republican Party holding a moment of silence for the man who brutally murdered George Floyd might be one of the most fucked up things I’ve ever read. Evil.

New York City is the media capital of the country. Delaney Hall is nine miles from Manhattan. There is zero reason to not have wall to wall coverage of the hunger strike, the horrific conditions and ICE violence. The indie journalists need strength in numbers, and not just during business hours.

Have yall been keeping up with the Utah data center shit w/Kevin O’Leary? @mcuban.bsky.social’s buddy has accused people pushing back against this dangerous polluter as outside agitators, flat out terrorists & now working for China simply bc they want clean water affordable electricity & clean air

This man was playing his cello in the tear gas New Jersey State Police deployed at Delaney Hall last night. “Like the titanic!” protesters said.

Oh great they can send this right over to the judge who ordered a halt on the ballroom's construction.

BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case! Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social & my colleagues @democracydefendersaction.org & Washington Litigation Group This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption

so, this is deeply, deeply horrifying thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

THREAD. 😏

Risonya the cat is the mascot for Resona Bank. He appears calm and intelligent, but he can be clumsy and surprisingly prone to tears. He tends to get absorbed in his own world and often finds himself alone. Thus, he is single and inexperienced in romance.

Vermeer’s Girl With The Pearl Earring will be shown in Osaka, later this year, and the press conference was as Japanese as you’d expect #Vermeer

Massively corrupt. The Trump administration has instructed prosecutors in Miami to avoid criminally investigating Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodriguez, who is deeply connected with drug lords and oil smuggling operations, in the latest sign Trump's alignment with her.

It truly is incredible how much the MAGA world insists that the Biden DOJ was "weaponized" against them when the level of pure weaponization against perceived enemies in this DOJ is truly unprecedented.

"Echoing, while expanding, Chief Justice John Roberts’s disingenuous majority opinion from Skrmetti, DOJ now has made clear that it views — and plans to use — Skrmetti as a free-for-all to go after trans people of all ages by denying that, so far as the law is concerned, trans people exist at all."

More seriously, though, I look forward to this quote showing up in First Amendment protest cases. Well done, Mr. Mullin.

This is how it's done.

This is textbook racism. As in, this is an example that an elementary teacher might use to explain racism to a child: "If someone says all members of a particular race are stupid, that's racism, kids." Any news outlets that uses any word for this except racism is not reporting the truth.

“.. four months after its establishment, the board’s financial fund set up by the World Bank has received no money from donors, according to four people familiar with the matter. ‘Zero dollars have been deposited,’ one said.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5ba3...

Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace,” which vowed to help rebuild Gaza, has no real funding despite receiving billions of dollars in pledges, according to a new report.

Recent status: watching someone that works at Zoom take a past due security training about not taking meetings in public spaces while he was on a train going between Copenhagen and Stockholm. He completed his training then had a sales meeting about volume discounts.

These fucking demons told me that my neighbor wanted to eat my dog and now they want to talk about social trust evaporating

🚨Bad news. A THIRD National book banning bill has passed committee in the house.🚨 Meet the CHARLIE act that will prohibit the teaching of what they call: equity ideology (not white supremacist jingoistic history) More from @authorsabb.bsky.social when we have it. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Imagine that

I took this video right before ICE pepper sprayed the crowd at Delaney Hall, including Senator Andy Kim. ICE was dressed like they're going to war, with weapons and an armored vehicle. That's because we are the enemy to them. We just keep standing up to this repression. @north.dsanj.org

It has been a while since I've posted my cooking. Gluten-free pancakes. #brunch #cooking

Ya'll. I am shook. In a good way. Pope Leo XIV makes historic apology for Holy See's own role in legitimizing Slavery

"Leo raised the trans-Atlantic slave trade in relation to what he called the new forms of slavery and colonialism that the digital revolution is fueling, such as the unregulated labor required to procure rare minerals needed for AI chips."

Not just saying this to be cheeky but - legit why are the populist right always so stupid? Like, why don't they ever have ideas that are at least instrumentally rational attempts to achieve their evil ends? It's always just slop, barely thought out rubbish that won't survive contact with reality.

So weird because Megyn knew all of this when she supported him so it's almost like she doesn't give a shit about anything.

Write this up for the history books. It turns out Trump was telling the truth, now that he is UNCONDITIONALLY SURRENDERING to Iran.

A new report determined that Louisiana governor Jeff Landry’s proposed increase in prison spending would come at the expense of $165 million in education funding, including $40 million for state colleges and universities and $125 million for K-12 education. With @veritenews.org

for profit imprisonment is truly the root of so much greed and evil-- and it's also costing taxpayers a ton apparently

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

Farewell, Tulsi Gabbard. You didn't stop any regime change wars, but at least you pretended you would.

Vegas - it has been a blast! If we did not get to meet, let's meet over Zoom or the phone.

Can you please hold off on cashing it until after the weekend? Thx in advance

The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit. They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever. To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

This is extremely lawless and corrupt by the Trump DOJ. So, par for the course. The presumption of regularity is a joke now, and federal prosecutors won’t recover the esteem they had from federal judges for a generation. (Which, actually, is fine.)

CLIENT: These federal charges seem serious. What kind of sentence could I get? LAWYER: Depending on the next presidential election, you're looking at somewhere between life imprisonment and becoming a millionaire.
