On this day in 1967, Thurgood Marshall became the first Black Supreme Court Justice. His fight for justice, equality, and civil rights reshaped our nation and moved us closer to our highest ideals. We honor his legacy by continuing the work for a more just nation every day.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

“They” is not a “made-up pronoun.” It has been in use since the 13th century. And has been used by the likes of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen. “Them" is also not a “made-up pronoun.” It has been in constant usage since before the 12th century. Chaya Raichik is a dangerous, bigoted fool.

Remember when Trump directed the prosecution of a political target a few days ago? An act that would’ve ended any other presidency in a sane reality has completely moved out of the news cycle and his party is still 100% behind him. Crazy.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

I'm pretty sure the country is not ready for this health care premium apocalypse. This is the time for the mainstream press- especially local news- to talk to people about these disastrous real-life impacts. Food & rent are already too high. Now many will be unable to afford health insurance.

This is your reminder that Jack Ciattarelli's Lieutenant Governor nominee said that new taxes are "on the table." www.insidernj.com/the-gannon-a...

The Sora AI thing is proof of something very important: The technology itself is useless without the ability to use the likenesses of real, living, unpredictable people, and the art they create. And the only way to get those likenesses or that art is to summarily steal it.

“No book shelf will be left untouched if local and state book bans continue wreaking havoc on the freedom to read in public schools,” Sabrina Baêta, senior manager of PEN America’s Freedom to Read program.

Jane Goodall: for International Day of Peace 2024: “And let us pray for the end of conflict, especially the genocide of the people of Gaza. And for those risking their lives to help the wounded and feed the hungry and care for the animals suffering as a result of human violence, cruelty and war.”

The candidate for New Jersey Lt. Governor said that he'd "be careful" about taxing millionaires. Massachusetts wasn't careful and collected $2 BILLION more than expected while the number of millionaires went UP 38%.

It's kind of wild that crypto scammers became *the single biggest source of political donations* in the last US election and barely anyone even noticed. These dipshits basically own both parties now and are getting whatever they want and there's been zero (0) public deliberation or debate about it.

Fixed it.

At the end of the day, defending institutions with liberal values (like higher Ed) is a always a better better bet than aligning yourself with authoritarians

Affordable health care isn’t just a “Democrat thing.” It’s a thing that every American deserves.

Jane Goodall made the world a better place. She helped shape how we view the world around us, fought vehemently for the environment, and her love of chimpanzees was infectious. She will be greatly missed. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

So at the same time the Trump regime claims it's fighting antisemitism (which was always a lie) it's now saying it will deny citizenship (or visas?) to "globalists" which is mostly used in their crowd as a barely coded euphemism for "Jews"

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

The Gateway Tunnel Project will create nearly tens of thousands of good-paying union jobs, and I was proud to secure the funding for it. The Trump administration is trying to kill jobs and Jack's on board — leaving New Jerseyans behind. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/n...

Anyone that has shopped walmart can see for themselves how much prices have changed. Believe the evidence of your eyes despite what this regime tells us.

Needs to be REPOSTED. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

Gross

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Nieman Lab checks in with Hell Gate!

Please clap 👏

This is the day NPR and PBS hoped would never come: The day federal funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting dries up. CPB is winding down its operations and local stations are making big changes to cope with budget shortfalls. Here's a thread about what stands out to me the most...

And he's laying the groundwork for using the military during the midterms. "the enemy from within"

Ezra Klein: Donald Trump is doing videos the right way

Those dudes with the statue should put it in NYC. Right in front of trump tower.

The reason we're rounding up grandmothers and shoving them onto concrete floors for months at a time with no habeas corpus is in part because soft human trafficking is an incredibly lucrative business for some people in this administration.

That's what it looks like when any human being gets shot, though. If it's okay with Republicans when the victims are 6-year-olds, not clear why that level of violence is haunting when it's a grown man. www.mediaite.com/media/i-cant...

Agreed. This ought to be examined immediately.

I have never in my life been so certain that a prediction is wrong.

TRUMP ONLY HONORS RACIST PODCASTERS WHO ENDORSE HIM. #MORMONCHURCH #MASSSHOOTINGS

Praising Eric Adams is dumb, unnecessary and only serves to condone corruption and lawlessness.

Hakeem Jeffries is acting like he *wants* to draw a strong primary challenger in 2026 and, honestly, I wish him all the luck in the world there.

Sadly, I've seen this same attitude in Philly: "He's a crook but he's OUR CROOK and we love him." I'm sorry -- a crook is a crook, and this is embarrassing

And this year they're still running away from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social as he mobilizes all the youngs to get out the vote in the bluest city.

You’re never going to convince me it’s not Krylon metallic spray paint.

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election. In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

Lot of talk about assassinations, stochastic terrorism, church shootings and political violence these days. In memory of my uncle Dr. George Tiller, murdered at church, while his wife sang in the choir — in the bulletproof vest he wore to service every Sunday. www.cbsnews.com/news/abortio...

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

LOL

And he won by more than 7 million votes.
