Veteran CBS News Producer Says She’s Quitting Because of Political Pressure Mary Walsh had been a key player at the network’s news division since 1982. She left behind a scathing memo that charged Bari Weiss and owner David Ellison with pushing coverage to the right.

As we have seen time and time again with ICE/CBP/DHS, all this administration does is LIE.

how long has this winter lasted? every ring in this snowball represents one year

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

World Central Kitchen head José Andrés confirms Israel has closed Gaza’s borders indefinitely and warns the NGO will run out of food this week. The group is currently cooking about 1 million hot meals a day.

For ppl who aren't aware: Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut. They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures. You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

It is clear that even a lot of our media doesn't seem to understand how this stuff works. The clip where the person asks the Iranian FM why it could possibly be justified to attack *US bases* in the Gulf is astounding.

So much for that.

Best post of the year, so far. 🏆

BREAKING: Al-Makassed Hospital, a Palestinian hospital in Jerusalem, was struck by debris from an Iranian missile and has now been closed.

Instead of just murdering Iranian civilians who work for state-run media, they murdered Iranian civilians in hospital beds.

Hi friends. I’m running the LA5K next Saturday to raise money for @hofoco.org. We provide nightly meals to 300+ Angelenos, plus medical care, and social and housing services. Govt funding has been cut and we need help. Thank you for your support: fundraisers.hakuapp.com/molly-knight-1

ok but why does this owl at a watering hole in the Namib desert (which I saw via the watering hole's webcam) look like a little old English lady-owl on an evening walk who kicked off her shoes but left her stockings on to cool her feet in a pond on the outskirts of the village?

Please make a terrible ruckus about this, if you live in Oregon

And as the soldiers bore dead bodies by, He call’d them untaught knaves, unmannerly

I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/

DHS's Office of Industry Partnership was hacked by a group called "Department of Peace" and info about ICE contracts with over 6,000 companies is now published on @ddosecrets.org! Enjoy 🧊🔨 ddosecrets.org/article/ice-...

Update on this story: WGA has cancelled the Writers Guild Awards, originally scheduled for March 8, due to the ongoing staff strike. WGA management walked away from the table earlier this week without a deal. Statement from WGSU below:

ICE Contracts (17 MB) Details on ICE contracts with over 6,000 different entities. Some of the notable firms include Anduril, HBGary, L3Harris, Microsoft, Oracle, Palantir and Raytheon. ddosecrets.org/article/ice-... Help us keep publishing: donorbox.com/ddosecrets

the fact that the Iranian government ALSO murders lots of Iranians does not make being bombed constantly somehow less shitty. i know this is apparently a hard concept for some

schools are never valid military targets, on or off base if someone bombed a DoD school in Okinawa and killed a bunch of American 4th graders, that would be a war crime. The murder of Iranian schoolchildren is a war crime.

Go to bed. It's not getting any better tonight.

When this ICE shit started, a mutual I’d never met asked how to help. I sent him to a friend’s kid’s preschool that was struggling to find patrollers. He’s been there almost daily, even in brutal cold, at a school where he didn’t know anyone, to keep folks safe. We finally met and got beers tonight.

We don't allow players to place bets on their own games but we're allowing national security advisers to place bets on literal wars.

Essential reading. "We in the U.S. need to reckon with the fact that so much of our state wealth, capacity, and technology goes toward burying children in rubble."

I used to get so panicky and sweaty whenever I did this but now I got 'em all on speed-dial LOL Jot down a few notes of what you want to cover, don't be hysterical or rude but do be firm and passionate, tell them you vote, and just remember they're hearing a thousand more insane calls than yours 😉

The mainstream media will be incessantly sharing the 2026 equivalent of the Firdos Square statue toppling made-for-TV videos to distract us from all the dead Iranians.

Our area rapid response group has better OPSEC. Phones and smart watches aren’t allowed in the room.

sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this

In case you're wondering about getting reliable information about Trump's latest war ... Iran ranks 176 out of 180 countries in @rsf.org World Press Freedom Index. Israel ranks 112. US ranks 57, and I bet will fall in May update. Main thing these regimes have in common is thought control.

The cool kids are saying… @lataco.bsky.social has stepped up to keep us connected in so many ways @shoton35mm.bsky.social & @joeyneverjoe.bsky.social have been OTG, on the front lines & reliably chasing stories Angelenos need to hear Help make this or their other campaigns happen

They’re at 72% let’s make this happen!!!! If you live in Los Angeles, it’s an investment that’s highly worth it

Get the word out!

ICE are murderers. ABOLISH ICE, CBP, & DHS.

Warmongers. “A United States official told Al Jazeera that the attacks were carried out as a joint military operation between Israel and the US, which has assembled a vast fleet of fighter jets and warships in the region to try to pressure Iran into a deal over its nuclear programme.”

Dozens of U.S. strikes on Iran. Dunno what to say now other than my thoughts are with the Iranian civilians under fire. What a nightmare.

Nothing like starting a war when the House has a vote on whether or not it is legal early next week.

WSJ confirms the U.S. is involved in the attack on Iran: “The U.S. participated in the attack and was also carrying out strikes, a U.S. official said.”

Ugh.

No plausible legal justification

So Israel is launching a "preventive" strike on Iran and also announcing a state of emergency, because they expect Iran to respond to their "preventive" strike by launching missiles. So like... what's being prevented here?

“Preventative”. JFC.

Happy #FOIAFriday to those that celebrate! This week I met with journalist @joeyneverjoe.bsky.social to discuss public records requests he'll be filing for @lataco.bsky.social. We're able to work with Joey part-time thanks to all your donations! Donate here 👉🏾 givebutter.com/la-taco-inve...

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

brb becoming an anti-trust radical (again) Honestly man, outlaw private equity schemes and break up every major corporate conglomerate and you might solve a number of issues in this current downward spiral

Just out in the open and people still pretend we have a federal government. Lol
