NEW: I created this reference list of all known third-country removals since Trump's inauguration. It's a lot more than you probably think, and there are likely more we don't know about. Bookmark this, I will be updating it as more occur. hardghistory.ghost.io/tracking-all...

Good morning New York, while you were sleeping this was one of our most read stories. on.ft.com/4mko5yF

Feeling fresh. Thoughts?

You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If two state lawmakers in MN get killed, nobody panics, because anti-Dem violence is normalized. But one GOP podcaster gets shot, well then everyone loses their minds.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

A kindergartener is more in touch with reality than one of our Supreme Court justices.

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

Courts are really clearing their throats in the past five days.

And I thought women were the emotional ones who would make rash decisions. 🙄🙄🙄

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

“I had hundreds of questions…Why am I here? Is being gay a crime?” Nearly 50 days after his release from CECOT in El Salvador, Andry Hernández Romero shared his story with @msnbc.com's @anacabrera.bsky.social. 🔗 youtu.be/Cw5hdTHigTc?...

Anti-Trump administration protesters will take to the streets again on Monday in worker- and wealth-focused rallies. The largest federation of labor unions in the U.S. is leading the movement, along with dozens of other groups www.axios.com/2025/08/30/w...

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

What do teachers 🧑‍🏫, nurses 🧑‍⚕️, and firefighters 🧑‍🚒all have in common? They all pay **MORE** taxes than the richest 400 Americans. Trump’s tax law rigged the system even more, handing billionaires a permanent tax cut while working families pick up the tab.

New ICE data show that the court order banning profiling reduced ICE arrests in LA by 66%! In other words, ICE is effectively admitting that TWO THIRDS of LA arrests were unconstitutional profiling. Did they admit this to the court? NO! They lied to the courts...

Avatar Enthusiasts Thank you to AD Deborah Garcia! #MTGxATLA I love Avatar so I had a lot of fun with this one 😆

Epstein victims speak out: This "smacks of a cover up." Several victims have sent letters to the judges who will decide whether to grant the DOJ’s request to unseal the grand jury materials in their cases.

Why are selling HIV?

NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context —

Constitutional crisis is here

Normalise this.

A female cop beats a non-combative male. 😡 Male cops beats on non-combative females. 😡 I hope the victims sue. They will undoubtedly prevail. So extremely sad that tRump's America is cruel, racist and toxic.

Gaza is now officially in IPC Phase 5, the final stage of hunger. Designated as 'catastrophe'. A further 67 of the starving were killed by IDF soldiers yesterday trying to access food. Witnesses say the victims had their hands held in the air. One day, everyone will have always been against this.

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it. (1/2)

I think it should be consistently pointed out that we are poisoning the entire city of Memphis, Tennessee for this.

Again. AGAIN! The Jewish community already supports Mamdani! Three of the most key figures in his campaign are Jewish New Yorkers! He has a lot of support from Jewish voters! The media needs to to stop exploiting Jews to justify their anti-Muslim racism!!

UTAH… this is not a game…

As ICE has intensified activity across New York City, faith-based shelters, food assistance programs and spaces intended to be safe for immigrants are quietly adjusting how they operate. religionnews.com/2025/07/11/n...

Wrote a little piece about @amazonprime.bsky.social’s newest season of Shiny Happy People for @baptistnews.com, specifically how the horrors of Teen Mania’s Honor Academy are a natural crescendo of evangelicalism.

So Amazon is doing a documentary on the cult I was a part of in 2008-2009???

NEW: I wrote about how the EPA during President Donald Trump’s first term vowed to combat the spread of PFAS nationwide. But now, the second Trump EPA is pulling back -- and even terminating grants for PFAS research in places like Michigan, Texas, and Utah.

welp, I guess the nation's largest city is no longer free to elect a mayor of its choosing

On this day in 1844, the Oregon Territory passed its first of many laws prohibiting free Black people from moving into the area and authorizing violators to be whipped as punishment.
