New motion filed by the Sandy Hook families shows Alex Jones's little video outside of his studio claiming he was locked out by the state-appointed receiver isn't even true. Still banging the fake persecution drum even as he moves around his assets.

This flight made yet another stop, to the Republic of Georgia, that I hope was just for fuel but was probably also a deportation. Meaning people would’ve been shackled for 50+ hours. Longest one I’ve recorded this year. (The longest I’ve ever recorded is 82 hours, in December.)

Old InfoWars' staff appear to have also done some ransacking on the way out. This is some of the property the families planned to eventually sell off to collect on this judgment, in a studio we were prepared to pay up to take over.

This occurred during the first Trump administration, wee tots forced to go before judges, alone, so petrified they soil themselves. Monstrous. www.texastribune.org/2018/06/27/i...

BREAKING: Danco Laboratories, maker of Mifeprex, goes to the Supreme Court, seeking an immediate stay of the Fifth Circuit's Friday mifepristone ruling. Under the Fifth Circuit ruling, FDA's rule that allowed mailing of the medication abortion drug is to be blocked. More to come: www.lawdork.com

Incredible decision. Consumers are forced into arbitration with Kohl's. Kohl's refuses to pay its share of the arbitration, so the arbitrator shuts down the proceedings. The Seventh Circuit rules that the consumers can't proceed in arbitration *or* in court.

“The Israeli reservist shot 14-year-old Aws al-Naasan in the head just outside the western gate of the Mughayyir boys’ secondary school, where he was studying in ninth grade.”

This is the Church, convent, and school of the Salvatorian Sisters in Yaron, Lebanon. I studied in one of their schools. The complex had remained standing until yesterday, when Israel deliberately destroyed it. Because they are destroying everything, the very fabric of life.

clear goal of republicans in these states is to, in the words of carter glass, “eliminate every Negro voter who can be gotten rid of, legally, without materially impairing the numerical strength of the white electorate.”

This is their goal but it's not JUST an abortion drug. It's also used to treat stuff like Cushing's I'm pointing this out because the crackdown on reproductive health (they also want to get rid of birth control) doesn't just stop there. It has knock on effects for female health broadly*

Everyone should pay attention to this. Antivaxxers are trying to force you to get another preventable disease and they are better funded than ever. They already got one Lyme vaccine pulled from market with the same tactics of straight-up lying, & climate change keeps making Lyme a much wider problem

Kettled, half of us are press. NLG lawyer, press freedom lawyer. This is insane.

God almighty, Uzbekistan wasn’t the last stop. This ICE flight continued on to Pakistan via this circuitous route. Migrant passengers onboard will have been shackled for at least 43 hours.

This morning, a group of Amazon workers, Teamsters and local politicians marched from the New York public library’s main branch to Amazon’s nearby corporate offices to demand the corporation cut its contracts with ICE and the DHS. #BlackskyNews #MayDay

Just learned about from an old friend: Media Resilience Network offers free and anonymous support for US-based journalists going through burnout or crisis and offers peer support, counseling and coaching.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is being debanked over a mindless conspiracy theory embedded in an indictment by the Trump regime.

BREAKING: We're suing Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. On the heels of a Supreme Court decision that eviscerated protections for voters of color, elected officials jumped at the chance to disenfranchise people — we won't allow it.

This is a ruling purporting to halt telehealth prescriptions of mifepristone NATIONWIDE. Louisiana asked the Fifth Circuit for a decision by Monday, May 11. That they dropped it on a Friday afternoon feels intentional to keep it in effect for longer. Expect emergency appeal to SCOTUS shadow docket

Congress mandates that ICE must regularly publish summary statistics that inform the public as to how many people the agency is detaining and where. The last release was April 9. 21 days ago. It is now past 6pm ET on May 1 and ICE has not updated this webpage. www.ice.gov/detain/deten...

This means that many abortion providers who currently offer telehealth will likely continue, but they will have to offer misoprostol-only abortions. As I reported back in 2024, misoprostol-only abortions are safe and effective, but they take longer and can be more painful. It's an imperfect stopgap

NEW: The ultraconservative Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked the 2023 rule change that allowed for telemedicine prescriptions of the abortion drug mifepristone—nationwide.

White House to Congress on May 1st: Hostilities with Iran have terminated. CENTCOM on May 1st: U.S. Forces continue to enforce the ongoing naval blockade of Iran.

The selection: two Sumud participants were separated, abducted and taken to Israel, says Dr Margaret Connolly.

oh, weird, she met two different standards to use the name “joanna” on the ballot and your whole crack team couldn’t figure that out about a fellow party member? or did you really just want to be sure it was in the papers she’s trans &, with our names & all other things, trans people are deceitful?

At least a dozen arrested blockading the New York Stock Exchange for May Day as part of @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social’s national day of action. Activists are calling to tax the rich, abolish ICE & stop funding war, and to defend the right to vote amid attacks on the Voting Rights Act.

Put different, the administration is using the wrong interpretation of "hostilities." But even under the administration's own interpretation of "hostilities," their specific factual claim fails. 4/n

Every detained immigrant death is preventable if we simply end immigrant detention.

"Spain called the interception 'illegal', while Germany and Italy expressed 'great concern' and called for the release of detainees. But in a statement on Thursday, the US Department of State threatened 'to impose consequences' against those who support the flotilla, which it cast as 'pro-Hamas'."
