It truly is unbelievable how much FSG/Breslow have made former diehards like me absolutely not care at all. Just unfathomable mismanagement and disdain for Sox fans.

7-year-old wisdom: “Dads don’t get cringeiness. They just *are* cringeiness.”

"Everything about watching these birds delights me, and simultaneously makes me feel totally insignificant. I get cold and I turn on our heat. Jackie braves snowstorms, creating a canopy with her wings to keep the snow off her chicks. I send more Slacks. Jackie shows her babies how to fly."

That thing when you’re sick and curled up in bed and your kids come in and look at you like you’re going to die, and then your teenage son laughs and says, “that sucks”

JUST IN: America not doing great www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW: In March, a man who needed legal representation reached out to Maria Aguila’s law office in Jacksonville, Florida, asking to meet with an attorney. There was only one problem: Aguila had never heard of this attorney. She is a solo practitioner who focuses on immigration and family law. 🧵

“Dying shoe company becomes compute provider” is easily the best bubble story we have seen so far

hmm I can think of another very large group of people that this applies to www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

incredible that the lifelong Catholic in this specific situation is The Pope

I know there is a lot happening <gestures wildly at all this> but we should all be worried that America's main Wall Street watchdog quietly announced last week that it is prosecuting way fewer financial crimes: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Pope’s got him in hell (literally)

@dfriedman.bsky.social and I recently published a story about a mysterious donation by Bill Pulte's charity that might have been funneling money to help Donald Trump. Today @warren.senate.gov and @wyden.senate.gov are demanding answers from Pulte himself: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW: Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden sent a letter to FHFA boss Bill Pulte to demand info about a mysterious donation that raises questions about whether Pulte's nonprofit sent money to Donald Trump while disguising it as charity to the poor. The donation was first reported by @motherjones.com.

I needed just this

Every year we hire a few editorial fellows to do fact-checking and reporting. Great entry/early career gig that has helped populate pretty much every news org you've heard of: www.motherjones.com/careers/fell...

We're hiring Editorial Fellows in DC + SF! Applications due April 26.

This is already an indelible stain on our national history, culture, consciousness, influence, standing And EVERY SINGLE member of the group that could STOP THIS immediately—the Republican members of the House and Senate—stands there in the dock of history's judgment, like quislings of other eras

Immigrants who survived domestic violence were given a "promise that they would be protected as long as they were vulnerable and shared their story with the cops." Then ICE deported them anyway. www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/04/u-visa-t-violence-against-women-act-ice-trump-deportation-lawsuit/

🚨 you can still get a copy of Mother Jones featuring the cover story I wrote with @dfriedman.bsky.social at Hudson News in Union Station!!

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

Have long loved me some Geno but that was a Calhoun move there

Who among us has not found ourselves at a Waffle House by mysterious means after a very long night

Read @davidcorn.bsky.social's succinct but thorough tour of the escalating intra-MAGA warfare. As he points out, the key point of contention here often seems to be... Jews.

Another mom talked about what happened when politicians visited Dilley:

One mom talked about Liam Ramos, the 5-year-old with the Spiderman backpack who was detained for ten days:

Several parents of young kids described a disastrous Christmas:

One mom said guards took away her 9-year-old daughter's crayons "for our security and so the children would not write more letters about the conditions at Dilley." She managed to keep two of her child's letters:

We went through more first-hand accounts from Dilley, the only immigrant family detention center. It's the little details that really stick with me—Christmas "celebrations," a girl's letter asking for help, accounts of being hidden away during congressional visits www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW from @julialurie.bsky.social: As media and political scrutiny of the Dilley family detention center has increased—particularly after 5-year-old Liam Ramos arrived in January—so have threats of retribution against those who speak out.

To anyone planning an AI deepfake “April Fools’” scam today: we’re good, no thanks, fuck off

“I think women’s sports always really activated the global right because of what sports success says about women’s independence.” Fascinating interview on the IOC's gender testing decision with historian @michaelwaters.bsky.social, by @schuylermitchell.bsky.social:

💯

They’d rather the country be poorer and whiter than rich and diverse. Of course when the pie shrinks, the rich will demand the same amount and will tell you the crumbs you’re left with are because of immigrants or trans people or DEI. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Huge news. The good people @deportationdata.org obtained updated ICE case records through a FOIA lawsuit. The dataset goes from October 2022 through *early March 2026.* deportationdata.org/data/ice.html

Still think the funniest thing about the Duke call is that Malachi Smith was *in the game* for the final possession. So it's both hunting for a technical(ity) and just being wrong about it lol.

honestly this clip of Dan Hurley's parents yelling HOLY SHIT in unison is the most romantic thing I've ever seen

How we have failed our children

1/ This story by @julialurie.bsky.social is just a catalog of horrors that kids and families sent to Dilley detention center are subjected to. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I spent the past couple weeks going through hundreds of pages of sworn declarations made detained by children and their parents at Dilley, ICE’s only family detention center. This is what life is like at Dilley, in their own words: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Stories about life inside ICE's family detention center in Dilley, Texas, are hard to come by. But @julialurie.bsky.social reviewed hundreds of pages of sworn oral declarations given by detained children and their parents about conditions at the facility. This is Dilley, in their own words:

Trump’s new state representative.

New: Leon Black has said he paid Jeffrey Epstein $170M for tax and estate planning. But a NYT investigation found that Epstein provided a range of other services as well, including helping Black obscure millions of dollars in payments to women. 🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/b...

VCU flute player dot gif!

NEW: Legal filings and emails reviewed by me reveal an internal scramble at DHS over its alleged “domestic terrorist” database of ICE observers. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW from @schuylermitchell.bsky.social: In a now-viral video, an ICE agent suggested to a Maine observer that she'd was going to be added to a domestic terrorism database. It wasn't until DHS was sued that the agency reminded ICE agents about the existence of the First Amendment.

All of this is brutal and heartbreaking, but this part really got me www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/u...

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

obviously this story wouldn't have been any less dark if this wasn't true, but I really wasn't prepared for one of the victims to have been Dolores Huerta
