If he really believes that food is medicine, why would he let the Trump administration take SNAP benefits away from millions of Americans?

Whoa whoa whoa. WSJ reports that Trump *personally* pushed the Justice Department to settle its antitrust case with Live Nation. Several sources for my NYT column speculated this was the case. The Journal says it's a fact. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

“Children's entertainer Ms. Rachel has a new cause: Freeing kids from ICE detention” “Wearing her signature pink headband, Rachel Accurso spoke with two children being held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center. She described the conversations as devastating.”

“with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia”

If you still can't say, out loud, that ICE is the Gestapo then you're irretrievably stupid in addition to being a dangerous asshole. Can you put two and two together here? Any and all shit Trump doesn't like, he sends his personal army to do his bidding. Polling places. Airports. Wherever.

The fact that race science and eugenics are inextricable from this technology is also why its makers and sellers and pushers do not want you looking too deep into its histories and/or consequences, why they shout you down so hard, why they demonize critics.

"For almost my entire life, Venezuela has been a punching bag, a nasty joke couched in fake concern."

Women and girls bear the brunt of our failure to provide universal access to safe #water and sanitation. And #climatechanges is making it worse. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

This horrific story gets worse when you find out how this young woman originally came to the US: as a 17-year-old on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane

My new favorite genre is ABS height adjustments

BREAKING: Federal judge tosses out provisions in Pentagon’s new press policy — which most longtime reporters refuse to sign on to — as violations of the First and Fifth Amendments. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/doj-is-bar... Opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is SO good. I implore you to read it. And once again MLB behaves shamefully, passing the buck and therefore continuing to tacitly enable and support harm. Manfred is a disgrace in so many ways, and the Rangers even more so for doing this.

“Chronic hunger” at American concentration camps reported by USA Today. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

You read that right. When @angryblacklady.blacksky.app reviewed an analysis of lead in braiding hair, she learned that the kind she has on her head RIGHT NOW has more lead than any hair they tested. Yikes. The FDA could keep Black women safer, if only it regulated these products.

NEW: “This will be so, so, so, so, so bad,” says one analyst, who compares the situation to "if gravity just stopped working." @mollytaft.com has more!

I hate it real bad

You know this is true because both ICE and Trump's friend already had different cover stories before the NYT reached out.

We don’t have universal healthcare for the same reason that white southerners poured cement into their community swimming pools rather than let their black neighbors swim in them. Racism is ruining ALL of our lives.

I went deep on "One Riot, One Ranger," by learning about the Texas Rangers' segregationist statue, probing the the city government and commissioner's office who made it possible, and speaking to the Rev. Floyd Moody, the civil rights activist who never made it to class. issa new [eyeblack]

The NAACP told me the Rangers didn't discuss the segregationist statue until Arlington's mayor got involved. Arlington's mayor told me the Rangers thought the statue was cool because the mayor of Dallas is Black. Dallas mayor denied speaking to the Rangers. www.readeyeblack.com/p/reviving-t...

Congressman Marc Veasey, who represents parts of Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington, says he's a lifelong fan of the Rangers. But Veasey told me he'll never go to a game while the statue stands.

1/In Fulton County, GA, DOJ wants to keep the FBI agent who signed the affidavit that persuaded a federal magistrate judge the government had probable cause to seize Fulton County’s ballots & other election records off the witness stand. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

EXCLUSIVE - Hegseth said that “family after family” of the service members killed in Iran war told him: “Finish this. Honor their sacrifice. Do not waver. Do not stop until the job is done.” But a father who met with Hegseth tells @nbcnews.com he never said that www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I’ll go a step further and say that a century ago mugshots were found unconstitutional if they were taken at the time of arrest rather than after a person had been convicted—and DNA collection, especially after bogus arrests, is an extension of that same problem made much muc worse.

Lovely and fascinating obituary for a Roxbury MA native who was an author of the groundbreaking “Our Bodies, Ourselves”

It’s amazing how quickly Black women have been targeted by these laws and doubly so how little this factors into the analysis around the sexual and gender politics of this movement.

The people who cancelled Jimmy Kimmel after Charlie Kirk's assassination will now control television stations that reach 80% of Americans, twice that what was legally allowed before Trump's takeover. The state capture of network television is almost complete.

Not👏🏼So👏🏼Swaggy👏🏼 😬 #MetsSky #LGM 💙🧡🟣

Let’s check-in on Swaggy V…. 🫠

The Mets keep stranding runners on base so I asked how the hitters are and Carlos Mendoza said he just keeps putting Mark Vientos at bat so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding outs to the opposing pitchers and then Francisco Lindor started crying

1. The US DOJ is omitting that they *threatened* NYU into their decision to halt these medical treatments. NYU was happily offering services until the threats, & in fact was a leader in this area 2. The DOJ doesn’t seem to understand the distinctions here between state & federal law

We as Americans cannot fathom how profoundly destabilizing Trump’s insane Greenland saber-rattling was to European allies. It was a rupture that will never be fully repaired — and yet America has already forgotten it.

None of this is funny. Just a total embarrassment. It feels like every day he's the president the stakes become more existential. That no Republican will even talk about impeachment or the 25th Amendment is a damning indictment and proof that none of them are fit for office.

I was sure that said $550 million. But no, they locked away a human being for almost two decades for $550. The American legal system is cruel beyond measure.

Awful. A teenager, dead by suicide in an ICE detention center. There is now a crisis of suicide inside the detention system; I have never seen anything like it. Suicide has happened before, but they were very rare. This is the third or fourth this year.

This administration does not accept the pluralistic character of the American public. The citizenship of nonChristians is contigent at best.

Wrote this about Howie and his status in Mets history in 2019: www.nytimes.com/athletic/105...

Just curious: How's Emmanuel Clase doing?

ICE agents are supposed to accommodate a parent’s “efforts to make alternative care arrangements for their minor children prior to detention.” But a report reveals that many parents have been forced to quickly leave their children in the “informal care” of friends, relatives, or even babysitters.

WIN THE WORLD SERIES FOR HOWIE 😭

let's remember this banger of a quote he gave me last month bsky.app/profile/jenr...
