NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Tell Congress Right Now: Pass the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1898: After voters elect a biracial city council in Wilmington, N.C., a mob of white supremacists overthrows the local government in a coup d’état. The mob also killed as many as 300 black residents in what is known as the Wilmington Massacre. /1

SARS‑CoV‑2 (COVID-19) Just spoke with my CDC sources. They warned that farm workers in California are falling sick with H5N1 symptoms, yet orders have reportedly come from RFK Jr. himself not to test, not to report, and to keep it quiet.

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

Kamikaze Lust at 25! So great to hear Lauren Sanders talk about her sexy, moving, groundbreaking novel at @loftypigeonbooks Got my anniversary edition, go get yours! @lisanders99 @akashicbooks.bsky.social

This is paywalled but, yeah. Getting more people onto bicycles and fast/frequent/reliable buses with dedicated, enforced lanes, is a much more effective way to fight climate change and congestion than simply electrifying the status quo. www.economist.com/internationa...

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

The president wants all the parts of government closed that he can't personally profit from. So he doesn't care about health care for your family. He wants to build a White House ballroom and promote bitcoin.

Why an urgent path to net zero is not a socialist conspiracy…. number 3456328… www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Jack Smith pointed out something important in his comments. Re: Roberts' reasoning in the immunity case Smith points out that the problem w/his logic is that he's worried about presidents being afraid to do their jobs for fear of retribution when the real problem is the one who seeks retribution.Yup

Another clip from last night’s rally for Zohran Mamdani at the United Palace theater in Washington Heights. Hear the thunderous support for NY Attorney General Letitia James as she battles political retribution along with others on Tr@&p’s enemies list.

This is possibly the only political ad that made me cry. If only this sort of vision, humanity, and COURAGE existed at the DNC. If only Centrists weren't attempting to crush this sort of heart from the the Left. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

If you live in Pennsylvania then for the love of all that is good in this world, vote to retain the state supreme court. (That's YES, not no.) Thread:

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to. Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

substack.com/@adamparkhom... Republicans know the truth. They CHOOSE to LIE.

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

#Mississippi with its first #death from whooping cough: a #vaccine preventable illness “the state’s first whooping cough death in 13 years. The infant was less than two months old and was not old enough to receive the pertussis vaccine” This child relied on herd immunity to protect them; it failed

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

"Human rights groups say this amounts to chain refoulement — the forcible expulsion of refugees and asylum seekers to countries where they are vulnerable to return to countries where they face persecution — and violates both domestic and international law."

Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

"Fun really is the name of the game for Trump & co. It’s fun for them to see a majority-Democratic city like DC live in fear of violence/deportation, to flood the trains/buses with armed law enforcement just because they can, to unleash troops who understand that they will not be held accountable."

HAPPENING NOW: At 2:00 p.m. ET, Judge Paula Xinis is set to hold a telephone conference regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia's newly-filed lawsuit challenging his removal to Uganda. Abrego was detained by ICE earlier today. I plan to live-post the hearing for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along ⬇️🧵

Last month, we reported that the IRS was preparing a system that would share millions of taxpayers' data with ICE. Now we can confirm data was officially transferred ⤵️

I went to Twitter where I learned what's up. Texas State Rep. Gene Wu is staying overnight along with Rep. Nicole Collier. Phew! I'm so relieved she wasn't left on her own. They explain what they're doing and ask everybody watching to resist in their own way. source: x.com/GeneforTexas...

As Trump calls the National Guard into DC for a fake emergency, let's remember that he waited 187 minutes to do it when there was a real emergency.

Cata Xotchil Santiago—a DACA recipient with a legal work permit—was detained by CBP at the El Paso airport while flying domestically. She was denied legal counsel and told she had “no choice” but to comply. This is an abduction. DACA = lawful presence. Domestic travel ≠ probable cause.

With a median income around $42,000 a year in a state that’s ranked number 2 economically is a disgraceful reflection of your own oligarchy in action

Please help amplify: Washington state & Georgia!

The Supreme Court our 3rd branch of government just ruled that Congress the 1st branch of our government which established the Department of Education by law and funds it has no say when Trump the 2nd branch of government decides it must go This is not how our Democracy works

i give it a year tops before some administration account is tweeting pro-slavery propaganda

There is currently an NWS flash flood warning in effect for all five boroughs of NYC. But no City agency has posted it on this platform. Please help spread the word. “If you live in a basement apartment or low-lying area, be ready to move to higher ground.”

This is literally "Your papers, please." It's Stasi shit. That's what Homan is declaring, here. Anyone who "looks foreign" is subject to detainment and harassment. Fail to persuade ICE thugs of your citizenship, and you risk arrest. And we've all seen video of what happens if you try to turn away.

Things like this will stop me from ever visiting the USA again. A terrorist country now.

this guy is charming as hell and any democrat pulling against him should be regarded with the STRONGEST of side-eyes.

“The stunning reversal of ocean circulation in the Southern Hemisphere confirms the global climate system has entered a catastrophic phase>' This is very very bad news: www.intellinews.com/southern-oce...

1/2 You could write a book about one atrocious headline in print NYT today (I sort of wrote this book 30 years ago, Breaking the News, but others can take a turn.) What's wrong this headline? Mamdani "faces scrutiny" **ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY** because NYT decided to make this a "thing." Really bad.
