A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

Recent reporting alleges that civilian men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and sexually assault immigrant women, with cases in North Carolina and New York. Unmasking ICE agents is important, but it’s a Band-Aid on a broader, systemic crisis. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social's full Op-Ed ⤵️

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

The real numbers will come out, the dust will settle and the world will see the true horror of what has been enabled by the West. The blood will never come off. It still flows, this moment. All of those lives, all of those families, an entire civilization spanning countless generations.

"About 52% of the patients that I’m operating on are [gunshot wounds], and the other half are explosive injuries."

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

Andrew Cuomo going on Fox News to accuse Zohran Mamdani of caring about “woke issues” and talk about how much he’s scared of the subway seems like a pretty clear sign that he has abandoned the Democratic Party.

Game on.

Republicans: disappear people off the streets and rendition them to El Salvador, crash the economy, build concentration camp in the Everglades, declare martial law in DC, eliminate cancer and vaccine research, align with Russia, disenfranchise Black people, tank in the polls Political pundits:

This is Ely, Minnesota right now. This is where Trump wants to hand off the Boundary Waters to a Chilean corporation for sulfide mining. Prayers up for the people, the forest, the water.

Ancestral claims do not excuse horrors beyond belief. For the love of all humanity, open the gates.

72% of people swept up in Trump’s immigration raids have no criminal record. That includes at least 250 people detained in deplorable conditions in his “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida. This was never about targeting criminals. It was always about terrorizing immigrants.

ICE goons have low morale. Longtime goons are unhappy about daily quotas. Tired of "arresting gardeners" and not criminals.

Now THAT's a cease and desist letter

ICE Rounds Up 300 California Farmworkers, One Dies: Eyewitness and Oxnard Mayor Respond

For a moment, contemplating the centuries-long campaign of oppression and internment in this country discouraged me immensely. Then I realized that something is different this time: most people do not support these internment camps. 48% oppose, 33% support. That's new.

Japanese internment camps, anyone? How about camps of enslaved persons? History repeats until we, the people, choose another path.

How does anyone justify this? Seriously, how?

My preferred way to resolve the debate about whether human-caused global warming is accelerating is to stop causing global warming

As I approached the detention center, 105 heat index, surrounded by local cops, I saw 3 roseate spoonbills fly above it. I snapped several shots and thought how cruel humans are to lock up our friends and neighbors for walking over the same fake lines these bird freely cross. Then I saw this. 🪶 🗺️

This is a cavalier 'shrug off' response — but it's an abysmal reality that people are held and dying in horrid conditions across US prisons & jail. That's happening under the supervision of sheriffs, wardens, DOCs and governors of all and any party. A brief 🧵 of some instances to know about.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

“U.S. Officials Concede They Don’t Know Whereabouts of Iran’s Uranium Stockpile” Mission accomplished! 🤦🏽‍♂️

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

This is beyond dangerous. The people on this flotilla are pure courage. Pray for their safety.

Paper plants can emit as much CO2 as oil refineries. They’re flying under the radar. Environmental Protection Agency accounting loopholes and aging equipment have helped fuel pollution that may be undercounted by 350 percent. grist.org/climate-ener... #Paper #wood #Climate #Environment #News

The DNC is looking for a man’s man who never challenges the status quo but really, really seems like they do.

Israel claims that Hamas endangers civilians by hiding behind human shields. Several investigations, however, have found that Israeli soldiers are systematically using Palestinians as human shields in Gaza. Nadav Weiman from Breaking the Silence details what is known about the "Mosquito Protocol."

Jessica Tarlov: “He does these interviews and says I don't know, or I'm not sure. He was asked ‘do you need to uphold the constitution? I don't know, ask a lawyer’ … He may be in front of you, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not spewing utter BS.”

Meltdown on Truth Social in 3, 2, 1...

Columbia University Acting President Claire Shipman welcomed to Columbia College's graduation ceremony with sustained jeers and boos. Minutes later, students break out in loud chants of "Free Mahmoud":

A staggering 40% of the country’s weather forecast offices have significant staffing vacancies. Some offices can no longer operate overnight – imperiling their ability to warn people of imminent extreme weather.  Make no mistake: DOGE's cuts put American lives at risk.

Trump's budget is back on track after Speaker Johnson made concessions to GOP hardliners on Sunday. The holdouts demanded the bill's devastating Medicaid cuts — already the largest in history — be made even deeper and faster. Their priorities couldn’t be clearer.

Go to @sunday.earth to add yours to the list, and to start prepping for SunDay, Sept. 21. It would actually be a big help!

Israel has lost its collective mind. And America is footing the bill.

How is this even a hard question? Yes, the constitution applies to everyone. Sorry if that answer didn't occur to you

almost everything people pointed out as risks to the way the IRA was put together and were told to shut the fuck up about is happening now.
