I want you to read one of my 2022 investigations again + understand that the response you’re seeing from your children’s school boards-the harassment + firing of teachers, administrators & staff-is tied to a network of folks who have been in this game for years: www.propublica.org/article/geor...

Following Soliman's release from an Ohio jail, his asylum status had been reinstated and his application for a green card has been revived, one of his attorneys told ProPublica. More from @hannahallam.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/ayma...

🎉 GREAT NEWS: Ayman Soliman was released from ICE detention and his legal asylum status was reinstated. www.cincinnati.com/story/news/p...

The U.S. government is trying to deport Ohio children’s hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, alleging tenuous connections to terrorism. If DHS succeeds, experts say it could hand the Trump admin. a “sledgehammer” to use on mass deportations. ➡️ Read the full story: www.propublica.org/article/ayma...

I feel like I've spent today sorting through accusations of this guy being a groyper, only to find that those aren't based on anything. There isn't an indictment yet. The cops haven't handled this better, but seriously—posting without verification makes you no better than the right yelling "antifa."

For the second weekend in a row, he shuts down a major traffic artery so he can visit his urban walkable neighborhood. A 15-minute city, if you will. Decent people would stay somewhere else instead of creating gridlock (your girl was stuck in it last week) but he's the Center of the Universe ✨

Human rights violations don't have a geopolitical "side". They are universal and affect all alignments. Eliot discusses some of the bigger names in "but what about/now do the West" discourse, but read this, and apply it to the people pushing this brain rot wherever you see it.

Dinosaur cookie decorating foul, or a Russian oligarch who went against the boss? Let your imagination be your guide.

i ain't reading all that i'm happy for u tho or sorry that happened

Oh okay I thought Ukraine was dragging you idiots into ww3 as you have repeatedly said

I want to remind everyone that the White House and the GOP have been systematically dismantling protections for abortion providers and clinics ever since Trump took office

NBC News analyzed leaked reports, satellite images and interviews to reveal the extent of Rwanda's carefully concealed and high-tech war in the Congo, as the U.S. tries to strike a deal for peace and access to the region's minerals.

Mexico has only one gun store in the entire country. Almost all criminal guns come from a handful of dealers in the 4 US border states, and the US gov fights tooth and nail for Americans to keep selling guns to cartels and buying their drugs, but somehow we’re the criminals

I feel about today like I felt about the World Series - I just hope everyone loses. (We the people already did.)

Forbidden Stories has long documented attacks on the media and exposed how Israeli forces have sought to evade accountability, through cross-border investigations like the #GazaProject. Today, alongside 130+ global press freedom leaders, we join the urgent call for immediate access to Gaza.

This line is going to stick with me for a very long time. “One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”

What shameless official is going to get in front of a podium and tell us that the 2 year old is in a gang?

istories.media/en/stories/2... How the son of a CIA deputy director was killed fighting for the Russians in Ukraine. Dude reminds me of Max Blumenthal, but without the LARPing.

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. (Published Dec. 2024)

In Afghanistan, over 7,000 schools have no buildings, and more than 2.2 million girls are banned from learning. In this context, even a dirt-floor classroom becomes a sanctuary of resistance—where every raised hand defies erasure.

Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, is alleging on Twitter that Chris Van Hollen and Kilmar Abrego Garcia are "sipping margaritas". He should have chosen a different drink because in all the photos of this meeting, the salt on the rims is undisturbed.

It took Peter Staley two weeks to build 200 full-sized coffins. The longtime AIDS activist, with a group of volunteers, fashioned them out of styrofoam, tape and velcro. On Thursday, the volunteers stacked coffins 10 layers deep outside the State Department to protest cuts to global AIDS relief.

LWV provides some of the most useful voting resources in my area, allowing me to have a personalized sample ballot before an election so I can spend an hour thinking about every judge and school board member. If you're an American I recommend keeping an eye on what they're up to.

Carlos!

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

But obviously, the problem runs to the top: Trump has now acknowledged that he wants to run the Abrego Garcia playbook on U.S. citizens, disappearing them to a foreign prison forever. If the Supreme Court does not rebuke him now, it will be fully complicit in this scheme. slate.com/news-and-pol...

You know MAGA is getting desperate when they resort to arguing that Daddy Trump is trying to make you a man by putting you through economic misery. Of course, they're selling the pitch with misogyny so over-the-top I just laughed at it. An analysis. www.salon.com/2025/04/09/f...

A border patrol unit traveled 300+ miles to carry out sweeping arrests and deportations in Bakersfield, California. A new investigation from Evident, @calmatters.org & @bellingcat.com shows how warrantless raids could impact wide swaths of the nation. Premiering April 8: evidentmedia.live/youtube

The protests are "cringe", or not radical enough, or don't do enough? Or white women at protests are manipulative, flaky Trump voters who are experiencing regret? Women's "allies" have always been fairweather and only behind certain women in certain situations. Keep going.

Mega wealthy people will not just "be OK" during an economic crash. They will make *more* money. They buy stuff at fire sale prices, and when value returns to normal, they make a killing. Poor people lost half a trillion dollars during the pandemic shock. Billionaires gained half a trillion.🙂🙃

Tariffs and driving the US into a recession only makes sense if you're a billionaire who can buy up stocks for cheap and, if things go on long enough where people lose their homes, snap up wide swaths of houses and land (which you can then rent back later).

Some cuteness to brighten your day.

You can read the full story at the newsletter, but here's the quick rundown of what's coming from the Trump admin on Title X tomorrow. What a nightmare:
