ICE is active in NOLA today—on Canal St and Stumpf Blvd within the last 4 hours, according to the ICE Block app.

This is fantastically nerdy - check his blog for how he samples/cultures insect pupae for a YEAR to find out if they've been parasitized (including protecting the host walnuts from angry squirrels). I love it when people fall completely & unapologetically down science rabbitholes. #invert 🦊

This is such an NYC story. I love everything about it.

Humane rendering of a girl in the (uncharged) Matt Gaetz files… 17-year-old with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men. She wants the public to have a fuller understanding of how she was victimized. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u... #DeadlineWH

ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula products are being recalled after the FDA began investigating a multistate botulism outbreak.

first it's pensions, then it's healthcare, then vacation, finally it's the wages, pretty soon you're just going to one box to work all day for no money and going to another to get the rest of snap to eat, which sounds a lot like how they described the soviet union to me in the 80s but what do i know

Religious institutions enjoy tax exemption on the condition that they stay out of partisan politics. The IRS’s inaction has turned that safeguard into a loophole for Christian nationalism.

Like Senators, my family has fairly affordable health insurance thanks to the quirks and good fortune of my specific job—but unlike some Senators, I desperately want EVERYONE to have that (or better!), and I'm furious they don't. I want everyone to get the care they need. Pretty simple!

Anyway, if you want to learn about the U.S. territories, read my book! I traveled more than 30,000 miles to report it. Deep-dive history. Legal analysis. Tons of interviews. Funny travel stories. Smithsonian said it was one of the 10 best travel books of the year! wwnorton.com/books/978039...

It was great to chat with @irisvanrooij.bsky.social. Her work is an important part of the fight to save academia from being destroyed by Gen AI... a very real threat. van Rooij shared academic citatons too! Share, share! stopgenai.com/anti-gen-ai-...

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Humans: capable of building entire skyscrapers but still afraid to put the scary number on one of the floors

100’s of billions in additional off book tax breaks for the uber wealthy and corporations on top of the tax breaks passed in Congress. All paid for by the rest of us and the 42 million snap recipients starving right now. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

Two great alternatives:

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Trump is fighting in court to keep SNAP benefits on hold. He is literally fighting to keep millions of American children hungry. At the same time, he gives $20 billion to his buddy Argentine dictator wannabe Milei. (Gift article) www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Criminals: “By its own admission, the Agriculture Department had ample funds to continue the program. But it took the intervention of two federal courts, including an order by Judge McConnell, before Mr. Trump’s deputies moved to restart food stamp payments.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

We need to run an experiment. Let's ban men from business for a few decades and see how it does.

Not every idea is worth airing. Not every point of view is worth hearing. Not everything that "a lot of people believe" should be credentialed by homepage space. Would the NYT editorial board run "Did Homosexuals Ruin Culture?" or "Did Black People Get Too Big for Their Britches?" I guess we'll see.
