I really hope that the folks who are very up in arms about how unbelievable this all is are going to take a few moments and recognize this is something Black, Latinx, Asian+, Indigenous, LGBTQ+, women, essentially anyone marginalized has dealt with for decades and now “everyone” is too.

The daily population inside the Northwest ICE Processing Center has risen from 801 people on January 20, 2025, to slightly above its capacity of 1,575 in early June, according to ICE data analyzed by the University of Washington Center for Human Rights and the Deportation Data Project.

It’s such a dig to the former president to say out loud his Arabic origin middle name to the… *reads notes* Arabic country Saudi Arabia’s, Arabic leaders.

One thing I dislike about the current functionality of Bluesky & The App Formerly Known as Twitter is that article tiles don’t show the entire title of the article, so I have to click on it to see it’s entirety, resulting in one (or all) of my free articles being taken away, just to read the title.

Thanks for protecting the beautiful Black women wearing MAGA hats from rapists, rapist.

The f*ckingggggguhhh nerve

Quite the assertion from a guy who is suspected to be a closeted gay man who lives with his male pastor and whose wife has an organization that’s sole purpose is to “get the gay out” of you.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

thanks anne—and we're not done. if you're considering subscribing to WIRED and still on the fence, this year, we also dropped paywalls for FOIA-based reporting (and some guides). so, here is a 🧵 of some unpaywalled articles (which includes some of our most important work)!

You know what’s interesting? That talking heads & politicians say “taxpayer’s” should have their votes given the most weight because they are the ones investing in their community… Yeah, so remind me who it is who doesn’t pay taxes & are actually who is given the most power & authority?

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Only the best people...

You know who would be good to ask for a jet? Qatar.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

Can’t believe I blagged an exclusive interview with Katy Perry!

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Obama: when you take no shit. Trump: when you’re taking a shit.

And the eligible documents required to get a passport are a social security card, birth certificate, government issued ID & so on top of the $130 (& 90 day wait to get a passport) there is much more to plan making it very obviously a tactic to INTENTIONALLY BE BURDENSOME TO KEEP WOMEN FROM VOTING

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Meanwhile, South Korea has successfully impeached their president www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

I’ll miss you most of all, Scarecrow #ripvalkilmer youtube.com/watch?v=umEB...

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

RFK being able to convince anyone of anything is proof humans are devolving, not evolving.

Guys, we're in trouble. This is only going to get worse. Please be aware of your surroundings. Help your neighbors. We need to stick together

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

NEW: How Elon Musk’s SpaceX, a major military contractor, secretly allows investment from China. Court records reveal execs there see $ from China as fraught but will let it in if it comes through secrecy hubs like the Caymans. www.propublica.org/article/elon... w/ @josh-kaplan.bsky.social

Aww shoot. Elon’s friend’s economy is sure not doing well.

DEI is wrong!! Its unfair!! *removes DEI* Well, clearly that Black man couldn’t have been anything special since he was hired with DEI. Let’s remove any information about him. *removes Jacky Robinson from Baseball Hall of Fame*

⚡️FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY RALLY ⚡️ STARTING TOMORROW. Nevada. Arizona. Colorado. You, me, and Bernie. Dem and GOP districts. ❤️💙 See you there 💪🏽🌞

I guess this is the natural evolution of Citizens United, huh? That we shouldn’t hurt the corporation’s feelings.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

I NEED GOOD, THOUGHTFUL LEADERS TO GET WAY BETTER AT USING THE INTERNET LIKE FIVE YEARS AGO

So apparently it is the age of 5 that a child begins roasting their parent. Cool cool

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this
