Rep. Grijalva is doing what a Member of Congress should do: standing up for her constituents. Pepper spraying an elected official doing her job is outrageous and does nothing to make Arizona communities safer.

there are unique aspects of this new immigration detention regime, but as someone with an incarcerated sibling, many of the tactics are, sadly, familiar. international humanitarian law, supreme court rulings, federal rules and regulations, basic decency — all are optional in our prison system.

NEW: Jimmie Duncan spent 27 years on death row, convicted in part based on evidence experts now consider to be junk science. But even after the overturning of his murder conviction and his release on bail, Louisiana still wants to execute him. By @richardawebster.bsky.social, w/ @veritenews.org

this clip encapsulates so much of what has been wrong about MSM Trump coverage for the past decade -- treating Trump's lies and bigotry as a valid "side" of a debate instead of calling it out, because calling it out makes it seem as though you're biased

Maryland's increasingly violent prisons are relying more heavily on isolation to manage the short-staffed, aging facilities. In one year, nearly 4 out of every 10 prisoners did a stint in confinement. State recently paid $185K to a man who was in for almost a year. www.thebanner.com/community/cr...

here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

Spotify wrapped seeming more and more like getting your fbi declassified and finding out how closely you’d been surveilled

An extremist outlet that publicly advocates for fascism and genocide:

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved. Don't look up!

Come for the description of Rahmanullah Lakanwa feeling abandoned by the CIA. Stay for the description of the entire group feeling abandoned by John Ratcliffe's attempt to disown the murder. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

In my dream last night I went back in time to Seattle and the Kingdome was still standing

Fun fact: My baby was positioned in a stroller right in between us during this entire interview, facing me (to not fuss) and away from the wind, tucked into a big fuzzy stroller-sized cocoon-like winter bag just watching us, quietly.

So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?

Carville is a classic Louisiana politico, so he operates in two modes: Huey Long and David Duke

Gaza children are digging through dumpsters for spoiled chicken as starvation deepens under Israel’s blockade. Prices are impossible. Meanwhile, PA VP Hussein al-Sheikh praised Trump, mediators & partners, in a new statement today for “consolidating the ceasefire” & facilitating aid... Vid below ⬇️

A 15-year-old autistic boy walked away from his mother's fruit stand. When she called police for help, they found him, called ICE, and locked him away for weeks. Unconscionable.

What we do to ppl in this country via prison is the most fucked slow motion torture-to-death for absolutely zero reason or gain other than thats what we do.

The U.S. unemployment rate just hit a four-year high at 4.4%. Now, try wrapping your head around the idea of a 43% unemployment rate. That’s the reality formerly incarcerated Black women face, thanks to the prison penalty:

"I loved his brain. I hated the idea of an intruder therein." (Kennedy denied it was a worm, Nuzzi writes. "Baby, don't worry," she says he told her. "It's not a worm.")

@taylorlorenz.bsky.social with a great piece here : Many people are missing the most dangerous part of Sarah Hurwitz commentary. Her comments reveal exactly what the ruling class in America wants to do to online speech, and why we need to fight back so hard to protect our online freedoms.

I wrote for @theintercept.com about how prosecuting transportation of these pamphlets is a danger to all writers, journalists, and Americans. Possession of words is not a crime, even with intent to distribute.

Welp. Guess Bezos is in the Epstein files!

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery? Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!! Here are 5 other things to know:

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

An entire argument dismantled in two words.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Yup. People dont care about his abuse but they care about Epstein and its harder to spin yourself as a crass locker room talk type when you abused ppl with the greatest boogeyman of the entire right, hopefully a few if them wake up

NEW: As Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick drives billions of dollars in foreign payments to help build AI data centers in the US, his sons help run a company earning tens of millions in fees helping finance AI data centers. A NYT investigation. (Free link) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/u...

Massie was crucial to forging the Epstein bill coalition. What he's saying here -- that Epstein had CIA and Mossad ties -- is supported by reporting, notably the excellent series at Drop Site on Epstein's as an international power broker. The mainstream media has almost entirely ignored this topic.

I guess maybe the biggest problem is that punditry and editorial opinion is the only thing motivating reporting. Its backwards.

gen x / millennials are obsessed with avoiding any moral standing at all costs. They cannot weigh in on an issue except as an “analytical pundit” who is “gaming out how the data could lead the situation”.

Pundit class “pedophilia smedophiloa, BUT its interesting to see him get challenged by his own party!”

NEW: In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant. She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency. Then she died. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

I think she means “Nazi Vibe”

greed is good was a boomer mantra

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning." I chose Larry Summers. Better late than never. Unlocked version of my 16-year-old article below. naomiklein.org/why-we-shoul...

The new charli xcx song is like her most taylor swift sing ever which is funny “couldnt even be her if I tried”

Was thrilled to help consult for this fantastic John Oliver segment on the tragic plight of U.S. public media and why, if we hope to be a democracy, we still need public media for so many things that commercial media will never provide. Deserves a wide viewership. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yknM...
