Yeah, for a minute I thought FP had more paid subscribers, then I realised the 97k figure is print. (WaPo apparently has 2+ million digital subscribers.)

Tracking the growing water footprint is smart. Not tracking looks a bit corrupt. Electricity bills are going up for regular people, data is good to have. It's transparent.

As a union that represents journalists including from newsrooms on this list, we stand for a free press. Our members will fight to do their jobs and report the story, regardless of any attempts to muzzle the press.

In 2020 we published in TIME about the $50 trillion upward redistribution of income since 1975. The editors told us it was one of their most widely read online pieces ever, and begged us for more. Four years later we pitched an update ($79 trillion)—they weren't interested. time.com/5888024/50-t...

'CDC is over': RFK Jr. lays off over 1,000 employees in Friday night massacre

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

After literal decades of jerking our chain, it should be plainly obvious to everyone that the Democratic Party has NO plan to competently address fascism other than to competently plan their stock portfolios around it and send fundraising emails that turn OUR crises into profit-making opportunities.

“Who was president in 2020?” remains one of the most pertinent questions in American politics—absurd, yes, but here we are—and that extends to “who was president January 1 - 19, 2021?”

Great interview: “For years, I’d smiled in pictures with these leaders, shaken their hands and stood next to them at podiums – but not one of them picked up the phone, or replied to my messages. To the men who ran the world, I was just a photo op.”

It’s impt enough to be explicitly required by law: The Secretary of Health and Human Services “shall publish weekly reports of health conditions in the United States…and other pertinent health information for the use of persons and institutions concerned with health services.” (42 U.S.C. §242o(b)

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:

For some context the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly report in addition to being just a good read, to quote wikipedia, "is the main vehicle for publishing public health information and recommendations that have been received by the CDC from state health departments. "

A massive explosion has destroyed the Accurate Energetic Systems facility in Bucksnort, Tennesse. It produced explosives and equipment for military, defence, aerospace, demolition, mining and oil industries. 19 people unaccounted.

I’m teaching abt Red Summer today, when white vigilantes & National Guardsmen across the country harassed, detained, assaulted, & murdered Black Americans as part of a backlash against Black military service in WWI.

I don’t live far from Walter Reed and one thing my wife and I noticed, both at the end of Trump’s first term, and now into this one, is the incredible uptick in government helicopters flying overhead. He’s going to Walter Reed significantly more often than is being reported.

Pretty sure my grandfather was antifa.

Kristi Noem should never have been confirmed after this. It ended up being a perfect representation of what she would do.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

Mike Johnson says Americans are upset the shutdown is delaying many of the services Republicans are trying to cut.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second. We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Incredibly alarming—after the whole ridiculous antifa roundtable at the White House, as Mark was moving with his family to Europe after threats…

Love my city right now.

so theres a possibility the attorney general has seen evidence the president raped children and now the entire republican party is helping to cover it up?

Stephen “Wormtongue” Miller

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Far, far, far too many still operate under the notion that the Second Trump Administration is some sort of profound aberration. That’s far from the case. This thread by @wihorne.bsky.social is vital for us to understand the reality in which we are inhabiting.

Weird how all the slogans, ideology, & state capture tactics are the same! If only we could discern some reason for these similarities!

southsideweekly.com/federal-agen... The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Looks more and more like the raid in Chicago was more than just a fascist terror raid but the use of federal violence to help a bank empty a building they held in receivership.

Read the article. They didn't roust leased tenants, just m2m ones. ICE wouldn't know which unit was which unless they coordinated in advance w/the slumlord. South Side Chicago is a red HOT R.E. market. Slumlords are using all sorts of tactics to move out low-income tenants so they can re-develop.

🧵Big picture: Slumlords, Wall St players (BlackRock, KKR, Kushner) are working with Trump’s DHS to weaponize ICE raids—faking gang scares to destroy apt buildings and push out tenants all so Trump insiders can flip bldgs for millions. #Corrupt #ICEraids #Chicago #Aurora fortune.com/2025/07/15/i...

There's a bigger play going on here. Slumlords coordinating with ICE to roust tenants, steal or destroy their stuff, damage the building so its uninhabitable. All to trigger legal expedited evictions, make insurance claims, and then sell to developers. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Speaker Mike Johnson was an official in the Southern Baptist Convention, a member of its Ethics and Religious Liberty Comission, from 2004-2012, a period of such hideous coverup of sexual abuse and misconduct by church leaders that the SBC finally had to get an outside report. X

This reveals there are an additional 2,348 previously unreported individuals connected to the island. That’s a massive leap from the 150–200 names that have ever been made public. Isn’t it??

In 2003 American Rachel Corie was intentionally crushed to death by an Israeli military bulldozer. Then, there was no Hamas to blame. A stark reminder of a genocide that started too long ago and will continue even if Hamas disappears - unless WE stop it! www.theguardian.com/world/2024/s...

Judge Goodstein rendered an adversarial decision against the Trump police state that was recently nullified by an all-too-familiar supreme court shadow docket decision; Goodstein is infamous in MAGA world; Stephen Miller put a target on ‘radical-left Democrat judges’ yesterday; The Trump DOJ...

Coates’s line in his discussion with Klein that “sometimes we lose” really stuck with me. Klein was talking electoral calculations. Coates was talking about those working for true liberation and equality. To me, this is so much of the difference. Where are we actually trying to go? And how?

Welker: They say the house is not in session because you don't want to swear in the newly elected democratic congresswoman who would be a critical vote to releasing the Epstein files. Johnson: It's totally absurd. This has nothing to do with that. It's another red herring.
