THE HOUSE JUST VOTED TO EXTENDED TPS FOR HAITI!!! Thank you, Rep. Ayanna Pressley for your leadership on this. Proud to help co-lead this effort for our Haitian brothers, sisters, and siblings. What a day.

More asshole Americans facing the consequences of their actions PLEASE

"There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us," write @josephestiglitz.bsky.social, @gabrielzucman.bsky.social, and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

Y'all better be hyperfocused on asking MJ about Trump's blasphemes. You don't even have to make it explicit: "Speaker Johnson, since you support the President's self-idolization should we assume you also support his brutal treatment of the poor and the stranger?" Let's get theological up in here.

Idk I'd wait a few years and gift a few more but to each their own

Fuck em both

Uhm

Jesus fucking christ

Withhold the sacrament!

Breaking: ICE agents are being deployed to BWI Airport Saturday afternoon, to deal with long lines. According to Maryland Aviation Administration, the ICE employees will include Enforcement Removal Operations and Homeland Security Investigations personnel, but...

Sandra Wong, the great granddaughter of Wong Kim Ark, is preparing to march at the #NoKings Rally in San Francisco. Today is the 128th Anniversary of the SCOTUS decision affirming birthright citizenship.

An immigration judge has ordered the removal of Liam Consejo Ramos, a Minnesota toddler who was detained by ICE. The politics of citizenship might seem like the detail that distinguishes Liam’s story from the stories of our kids. But his innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable.

The first review of my book is in from @chicagoreader.com! Publication day for Unsettling Territory is less than a week away!! chicagoreader.com/books/book-r...

People power!

The Department of Justice is quietly restarting a decades-dormant program to restore gun rights to felons. One of them was an alleged fake elector in 2020.

This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.

I'm starting to suspect that war might be complicated.

Went to sleep at 11 to wake up at 4:30 for my flight. So of course my beautiful brain wakes me up at 3:30.

Abolish ICE AND ABOLISH FOR-PROFIT PRISONS

ICE stole another of our neighbors from a 'routine' check-in; help Mamady's friends and family get him home. www.gofundme.com/f/free-mamad...

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

From The Archives:

Damn it would be sooooooo embarassing if you were a law firm that genuflected.

Ok, The Economist

The best possible way interviewers could handle this is asking him why he is break9ng the law and not releasing the epstein files. You could then transition to this lawless warmongering. But make it clear that we're not distracted.

@covie93.bsky.social at the other place:

Lots to tear into here but "Most of the cheap ____ are very inexpensive" is just mindnumbingly idiotic.

Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission. Full statement from the band:

When there are no laws meaningfully regulating military AI use, the Pentagon’s promise to use AI “lawfully” mean almost nothing. The authoritarian AI crisis has arrived www.platformer.news/anthropic-pe...

The Committee to Protect Journalists has found more journalists and media workers were killed in 2025 than any year since its records began 30 years ago (2024 was the previous record). Israel was responsible for two-thirds of deaths in both years cpj.org/special-repo...

So devastating that he isn't up for reelection until 2028

I really need historians of bureaucracy to catalogue the myriad absurdities of this moment.

these people’s brains are fully cooked

imagine a world where regulators would actually fucking do something about this

Yassified Tax Scheme

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

vibe coding but it’s the hospital kind of coding

New Yorkers: if you can do so safely, take a moment to step outside (even on your front stoop) for a moment and appreciate how quiet the city is right now. ❄️ Cities aren't loud. Cars are loud.

As I’ve always said: billionaires pay tons of money to make you think your vote doesn’t matter. It’s insidious. Be very wary of anyone who tells you elections don’t matter, or that both sides are the same.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Newly released records show a US citizen was shot and killed in Texas by a federal immigration agent last year during a late-night traffic encounter that was not publicly disclosed by the Department of Homeland Security. https://cnn.it/4kOEKvg

Here's some good news to cleanse the palate. One scientist called it a "hell heron"

The labor secretary’s husband was barred from the department’s premises after two staffers said he sexually assaulted them.

A Post investigation found that at least 230 children died at the House of Reformation and Instruction for Colored Children — a now-defunct, segregated juvenile detention center in Maryland. A new bill would task a commission with finding answers.
