Wonderful. Made me cry in the best way. (2mins, sound helpful but not required.)

This is really incredible. The government's battle to deport Abrego Garcia has apparently been based on a lie from the start. Not even the "gang affiliation" lie or the "human smuggling" lie, but the more basic assertion that he was ordered to be deported in the first place.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Don’t look away. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

"I'm not fucking apologizing for [calling Charlie Kirk hateful after he died]. I mean, for fuck's sake, I commented on one thing. I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes. What I said was pretty damn factual, and I'm free to have an opinion, of course."

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

The mass deportation of undocumented people was one of Hitler’s largest coercive policies before the war. This set off a chain of events which can give us a useful perspective on where we are now. snyder.substack.com/p/self-terro...

"Don't be fooled into thinking this will be any form of aid or activism. The motivation for this is that the grifters will have exhausted Silicon Valley money and will be looking for capital anywhere else."

THIS THREAD 🔥💀🔥💀🔥💀🔥 "before you claim I just don’t understand, idk man, I work in civilian drone technology, I think I understand the general concepts that surround “the tech you believe can help people has an absolutely anthrax-level public perception” well enough"

A huge night for Democrats: —They flip Miami's mayorship. —They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%. —They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council. —And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

It's impossible to pick the best photo book of 2025. But it's easy to identify the most important: "In Light and Shadow: A Photographic History from Indigenous America," edited by Brian Adams & Sarah Stacke. It's a sweeping history of Native photographers in the Americas—an overdue first.

The book includes the work of 80 Native photographers, from the mid-19th century to the present. Is that enough? Of course not. The book is a beginning, not an end, as the editors know. Here's a great conversation with them. Very much worth 15 minutes of your time.

I would love to repost this just like every election night

They tried to bribe this dude with free sex if he stopped robbing and raping women and he still kept doing it. I would be surprised if CBP's ranks are *not* full of psychos like this. Tip of the iceberg.

The president coughs up a bunch of numbers about how many lives are saved for every boat he blows out of the water, and you don't ask where that came from, and in your story that day, you don't show the slightest curiosity. Again, you might want to think about another line of work.

Again, WHCA why?

"And the truth is, if we flip the Legislature, and the Governor’s seat, we can fix Texas with or without that Senate seat." "We’ve done step one. We’re working on step two. Step three is the part where we win. "Let’s get to it."

We all know It's a Wonderful Life is the story of a woman who twice sacrifices to save the local savings and loan, runs the local Red Cross, saves her husband from suicide and jail, and raises 4 children, all while gut rehabbing a dilapidated Victorian.

Literally Jesus’s parents had to flee to another country with their baby to avoid the imperial police

Terrific read, on something important I'd known nothing about.

It's time once again for my annual #treebybike post. This is the 12/19/42 cover of @newyorker.com, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions in the US. Gas and tire rationing had begun earlier that year.🗃️

♥️ “ICE looked at that school, saw a community standing up for families, and decided it wasn’t worth it.”

"We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*."

“No human being is garbage, Mr. President, and shame on you for saying so,” said the Lutheran pastor.“In the name of Jesus, I rebuke those hateful words.The Somali community in Minnesota are our neighbors, brothers and sisters, children of God, fellow Americans.” www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. But teach a man how to fish and Pete Hegseth will murder him.”

I love love love that they hired a painter to do these portraits and then acknowledged her by name. Artists of all kinds supporting each other is so beautiful.

Should we all get healthcare? “Ah, no, unrealistic.” Should we end constitutionally protected birthright citizenship? “Let’s discuss the merits.” Centrism!

Honestly it’s real useful to understand that centrists are eager to meet fascists in the middle but not anybody else lol

"you know who isn’t a weird little bitch? anyone who made it to this country in an attempt to better their life. especially those whose journey was dangerous as fuck. you want to be an american? hell yeah dude we are glad to have you. let me teach you why the packers suck shit"

this is a very good example of using something salient to explain hyper-wealth other “visualizations” of billions are abstract (distance etc). not going to make an impact on people whereas an elementary school teacher’s salary expanded to EVERY elementary school teacher is not abstract at all

I need to take this on a march! 😍

DC Public Library with a friendly reminder 📚

Jesus healed someone he wasn't supposed to. Therefore it's okay to murder people you're not supposed to. Solid grasp of faith, literacy, and logic we've got here

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

NYC: “I’m born here! Kings County Hospital! Suck my d*ck!” Trump’s ICE goons grabbing brown and black people. Bounty hunters. Racial profiling is all they do.

“This is where George Floyd died because of the actions of Minneapolis Police,” noted Chief O’Hara. “Our officers here have a duty to intervene,” he added, saying that duty extends “not just from law enforcement, from our own agency.”

Sabrina Carpenter: Braver and more powerful than Nintendo and Microsoft combined.

Perfection. Sound not even needed.

Really love how this guy posted this on TikTok thinking the woman who broke his Meta glasses would come off as the villain, as opposed to him, the guy recording her without her consent for social media content via a surveillance device made by one of the worst companies on earth

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social

Oh no, we can't loose the strict adherence to traditional ideas of gender and sexuality that the Looney Tunes cartoons were so famous for.

Wow, that didn't take long.

Still can't believe that this administration has got me cheering the Catholic Church
