Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour. The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”

In the latest sign that Florida Republicans will go through with re-gerrymandering the congressional map when they reconvene on April 20 for a special session called by Gov. Ron DeSantis, legislators have advanced a bill to delay the candidate filing period from April to June

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

New, with @jessicaschulberg.bsky.social: Immigration detention is not supposed to be punitive. But one man who spent 20 years in state prison told HuffPost the ICE detention facility he is currently in is worse. Inside Trump's plan to jail many, many more people: www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

A stellar series from my stellar colleagues @statesnewsroom.com + @stateline.org!

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

You know things are bad when the girlfriend threatens to leave and take his tooth fairy money with her.

Every CDC scientist involved in this should be held responsible for crimes against human rights

“The Brazilian response reflects a hard-earned lesson from the comparative study of democratic collapse: early, forceful, and legally grounded intervention is often the only way to stop backsliding once elites signal a willingness to subvert electoral outcomes”

Kavanaugh stops on immigration enforcement. And revised Kavanaugh stops. To paraphrase Malcolm, I am not a citizen, if Kavanaugh steps are needed to make me a citizen.

@corybooker.com has the 60-minute CECOT segment available on his channel. Watch it while you can. In other places, Paramount has taken the video down - "copyright," don't you know. Share. The more who witness, the better. youtu.be/jiehEMlNiCI?...

This is hard to fathom but 25% of the growth in California income tax revenues this year is from tech stock-based compensation: lao.ca.gov/LAOEconTax/A...

Sure. That is DEFINITELY going to WORK. It is in caps, so it is TRUE.

Can we please contextualize this? This shows that support for political violence as measured is thermostatic and expressive. People on the identity extremes express higher support when their side is out of power.

SUNNY, BALMY DAY in Chicago. It is ALL CAPS, so it is true.

Siri, how do you define self-dealing?

👇👇👇👇 The Catholic Church is responsible for a lot of culture war crap and all the "gender ideology" nonsense. But on this, Leo is on the right side of the line.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

this is amazing. it's a great ad for Mamdani, obviously, but it's also an honest to god ad for unions and the power of labor.

Google's data center in Council Bluffs, Iowa used 1 BILLION gallons of water in 2024 - enough to supply all of Iowa's residential water for five days. Researchers in water law and policy explain how companies rarely tell the public exactly how much water data centers consume:

You can check out the Boston Public Library’s unbelievable Special Collections in person at the newly renovated reading room: www.bpl.org/special-coll... We’re also working to digitize even more of these treasures & make them searchable & accessible from anywhere in the world. @bpl.boston.gov

If you full gerrymandering California to the degree that Texas is gerrymandered, how many additional Dem seats would you get?

Being transgender is not misconduct. These servicemembers have a reliance argument (contract law) that should succeed in court. Otherwise what’s to prevent any admin from just finding arbitrary reason to dismiss military people right before they retire??

NEW: "The electronic case filing system used by the federal judiciary has been breached in a sweeping cyber intrusion that is believed to have exposed sensitive court data across multiple U.S. states, according to two people with knowledge of the incident."

@timgalsworthy.bsky.social what's the book on? I have an article that may be of interest!

GOP seem to prize power above everything. They are content to rule without challenge over a country that is discredited, whose vaunted institutions are crumbling, and whose economy will decline rapidly as soon as it is clear that data about it have less credibility than Greek numbers in 2012.

Why would anyone buy US bonds if the statistics on which their value is based is not to be trusted? Destroying the legitimacy of BLS and the Treasury also destroys the legitimacy of the greenback. The dollar is just a piece of paper.

thanks anne—and we're not done. if you're considering subscribing to WIRED and still on the fence, this year, we also dropped paywalls for FOIA-based reporting (and some guides). so, here is a 🧵 of some unpaywalled articles (which includes some of our most important work)!

We have three days to STOP the rescission packate that will kill PEPFAR. All we need is to delay a vote. If it doesn't pass by 18th of July, the bill is dead. CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW!

Protests have sprung up in response to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Venice wedding, including a variety of life-size mannequins placed throughout the city. The satirical project is protesting the billionaire's wedding as a symbol of unchecked wealth inequality. wapo.st/3I1z8hU

Earlier this evening, the Univision crew grabbed their gear and started running when federal police began shooting pepper balls at us. @lataco.bsky.social

Taking bets on what the Elon executive order will be about: contracts? Citizenship? Just a bitching proclamation?

This checks.

How close to 1 are the odds of 47 being kicked out of X? #polisci

Stephen Miller said recently that American scientific achievement in the mid-20th century owed little to immigrants, given immigration quotas at the time. Someone should tell him that from 1945- 1974, 16 of the 30 U.S. winners of the Nobel in physics were immigrants www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Wtf?
