You know you’re a good editor when you say “skill sets” like a board-certified brain genius instead of “skills” like a common sewer worker.

I'm sure the Gold Star families who lost loved ones in this Iran attack will be comforted by this.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

No doubt Tulsi Gabbard is drafting her resignation letter as we speak.

I know this is becoming something of a mantra but it is really disheartening to be reminded constantly how many seemingly normal folks out there are just completely bereft of the most rudimentary degree of basic decency or moral sense.

Trump issued an EO aimed at increasing production of glyphosate, a chemical in weedkiller that has been linked to cancer. He’s also directed the rollback of environmental protections over our air, water, and how much pollution corporations can produce. “Make America Healthy Again.”

"The memorandum, seen by Reuters, does not specify any financial terms and says the project "shall be facilitated by the United States General Services Administration and by the Pakistan Ministry of Defence." What? www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

I appreciate that the internet has made everyone into an amateur investigative journalist. But actual investigative work requires aggressively checking, double-checking, and trying to poke holes in your own work — not just rushing to publish because you want to believe it's true.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

that stage of society when school children share the bond of having endured the camps together

People often disparage the press — and we often get it wrong — but almost everything you know about this administration is not because pundits go on tv or social media and pontificate but because of relentless reporting from real journalists at institutions that give them resources to do so.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

The agents appear dismissive of his constitutional concerns. "I'm not getting into the legality of everything," one agent responds tersely.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in MN: bsky.app/profile/bunn...

The people of Minnesota have paid an unthinkable price but they are beating these bastards.

What the Trump Admin is telling you. -Don't record ICE -Don't carry a gun around ICE -Don't ask ICE for a warrant. So that takes out the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

But this was okay…

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

I was one of Alex's nursing faculty at MCTC. This is simply devastating. He was a good student and I knew he'd be a good nurse. Im so sorry for you and his VA family. May his memory be a blessing and an example of what a nurse is.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

“When an individual enters their residence, conceals themselves behind a closed door, and attempts to go about their everyday life, they are willfully impeding the important work of law enforcement officers and engaging in domestic terrorism,” said DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin

The president encounters a binder clip for the first time, then talks about it for a while. Remember when Joe Biden had a raspy voice and every major news organization created a 10-person Biden Is Old investigative team?

How it started/how it's going

Hmmm... How could Russia be getting strategic intelligence information? 🤷🏼‍♂️

He is hell-bent on destroying everything for nothing

Asking for lists of Jews. Right. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Just spitballing here, but I think the founders probably wouldn't have approved of a President putting the entirety of a highly militarized federal government on a war footing against a state because he didn't like how they voted in the last election. But I'm sure John Roberts knows what he's doing.

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

The upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence absolutely must emphasize the text of the document and why particular abuses are identified. “He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without Consent of our legislatures.”

Howlin' Wolf passed away 50 years ago today. Eighteen years later, he and the Dead were each inducted into the Rock Hall. Bob Weir never struck me as heavy into symbolism, but the coincidence is striking. Tonight we need no rest We gonna really throw a mess 🌹🐺💀🌹 youtu.be/qYiUovPmk1g?...

Retired cop here. Having been in a few highly stressful tactical situations, and seen other people's reactions, the normal response should be more along the lines of "oh fuck what the fuck just happened," rather than "fucking bitch" and walking away.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

If we don’t get out of this, the tragedy won’t be that evil people managed to end the America experiment. It will be that such unimaginably stupid evil people managed to end the American experiment.

what a hellish grotesque folly this all is

If you don't get that the promulgation of half-truths and outright lies is how we got into this g.d. mess in the first place, then you're, you'll pardon me, even stupider than you look.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

As the film world and people of good taste around the world mourn the sudden death of legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer, President Donald Trump jumped to make the apparent double homicide about himself. Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Steve Cropper, the soulful guitarist and songwriter who helped anchor the celebrated Memphis backing band Booker T. and the M.G.’s at Stax Records and co-wrote the classics “Green Onions,” “(Sittin’ on) the Dock of the Bay” and “In the Midnight Hour,” has died. He was 84. https://to.pbs.org/48fgEoM

Current US Policy: If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

I can’t promise that this is the first time a Canadian publisher of a beloved children’s book series has publicly condemned the bloodthirsty US secretary of defense’s use of its imagery to smirkingly defend heinous war crimes. I mean who can say.

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.
