Russian ‘peace’ in action: This is Zaporizhzhia today after Russians bombed 2 civilian apartment buildings

Y’all, all these white men being discriminated against by the white men running everything is the best civil rights reporting I’ve seen under this new administration. We’ve all been focusing on the wrong things.

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food. Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

With the latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%. It's the GUNS -Joann Duman

"The global wealth gap has become so staggering, and its impact on economies and democratic institutions so corrosive, that policymakers should treat it as an emergency."

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

NEW: We sent a letter demanding that ICE end immigration detention at Fort Bliss, the same facility used to intern people of Japanese descent during World War II. People detained at this facility are denied adequate food, medical care, and are physically and sexually abused by the guards.

ICE cut off her wedding ring. Sue Tincher is a 55-year-old American citizen: a grandmother, 5’4’, and white. Just in case you thought you’d be safe. She walked to her neighbor’s house after getting alerts that ICE was nearby. She stood across the street and asked an officer if they were ICE.

Things we learn: 1. Bovino's existence is the result of chain migration, which MAGA wants to ban 2. His family arrived legally under an immigration law MAGA wants to repeal 3. His father killed a woman while driving drunk, a crime for which MAGA aims to deport immigrants And much more. Read it.

Lawless, criminal behavior

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

CPB wants to police the thoughts of anyone who wants to visit the USA.

There are millions of abandoned oil wells across the United States. Some have begun to leak mysteriously, shooting geysers of toxic water into the sky. Now, a group of unlikely activists in Texas is making sure no one forgets they need to be cleaned up.

“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

I came to New Orleans to see the fear and loathing that comes to town when Greg Bovino and his federal masked marauders invade I chronicled their Big Lie, as their op allegedly targeting "criminals" stormed Home Depot parking lots and roofing jobs.

Dear Senator Cassidy, “We” didn’t. WE didn’t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Who’s our president? Say his name. Best, Your Former Congressional Colleague

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

What do Jeffrey Clark, Harmeet Dhillon, Heather Honey and Kari Lake have in common? While they do happen to be Trump’s favorite election deniers, they’re also the force behind the administration’s anti-voting efforts. Here’s what you need to know👇 https://bit.ly/3LKeRz6

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

This stuff is so crazy. Trump is now just letting his allies that helped him nearly overthrow the government take turns stealing taxpayer money. Playing us all for suckers. The corruption of this regime will leave an indelible mark on our nation. 🇺🇸 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

This is the less visible but more dangerous attack on our government.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

In my 44 years as a journalist, I'm pretty sure I never advised a "source" on how to blackmail the president of the United States

The sheer galactic racism of Stephen Miller, which is powering so much of this stuff, is almost hard to comprehend. He’s so unbelievably, madly racist. He really is the kind of man who could put death camps into practice.
