JUST IN: A federal judge in Oregon has barred ICE from conducting warrantless arrests without probable cause in the state, saying the agency's "dragnets" have flouted "clear and undisputed" law. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

To recap: Anthropic refused to do killbots or mass surveillance. DOD trying to destroy company. Altman: we are now working with DOD, who totally respect safety and oppose mass surveillance! Why would anyone trust a word Altman says after this?

A judge just tossed out Columbia University's disciplinary actions against 22 students over the 2024 Hamilton Hall occupation, finding the school relied on sealed arrest records and held individuals responsible for group actions, violating its own rules. iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/Documen...

a fan of this energy tbh, and ambitious politicos should be trying to outdo each other here

JUST IN: A federal judge says the Trump administration has been “terrorizing” refugees — violating the promise America made to them when they fled persecution at home — by locking them up illegally. He blocked the policy for those in MN storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

powerful academics getting to retire after being linked to a child sex trafficer is not "accountability" or "facing consequences" or "a reckoning" or "justice" it's just them retiring. These institutions continue to beclown themselves. Divest.

IRS violated federal law “approximately 42,695 times” by giving ICE and CBP confidential taxpayer addresses, according to a federal judge.

I got a full time job Plus 2 side projects One of them is a brand with short term and long term plans I'm excited

Welp

Lacks' cells were taken from her tumor without her knowledge in 1951 and reproduced in labs to enable major medical advancements, including the polio vaccine.

Yeah, these folks keep buying things and overhauling them to break/destroy them. And that's what I think will happen if the Paramount/WBD merger is allowed to go through.

📌Yes, this Ellison takeover of CNN is dangerous as hell, but also why that damn station should have treated a possible Trump second term as a national emergency. Instead, they shoved amateur "both sides" journalism down our throats.

LEFT: Trump’s DHS just lied again. RIGHT: Wash post with video proof. Another man dead. father of 2, nearly blind, dropped off in the cold outside a closed coffee shop. They lied that it was warm & open. Without accountability it will happen again. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!) These are not serious people or good faith actors.

A lot of problems in this country could be solved simply by enforcing anti-monopoly laws

respectfully tapping the "support billionaire-free, worker-owned, independent media" sign again

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

Tomorrow is the last day of early voting in Texas. My sis, Cardi B, said GO VOTE for me as your next US Senator! Let’s gooooooo!!!!

JD Vance: If you look in the Big Beautiful Bill, there is a multi-billion-dollar rural hospital fund to try to help rural hospitals persevere in tough times. (Trump and Vance cut $137 billion in rural health care funding, forcing multiple rural hospitals to close)

Chaotic blunt rotation 😂

Gentrification. Private equity. It has RUINED Black Atlanta and some Black Atlantans are to blame

MEGAN ON BROADWAY 🎩🤗

The type ancestors that Meghan THEE Stallion has covering her wooooo buddy

We deadass don’t give a damn of what a child sex trafficker is listening to

In what may be the most unsurprising "news" ever reported, the California Supreme Court has rejected Tory Lanez's request that they review his convictions and 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.

This is the bad place

There is something fucking wrong with y'all just nuts

My father, my sweet Daddy, passed away on Tuesday. Devastated doesn't even begin to describe it. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

This is clearly blatantly intentional voter suppression and any claim otherwise is completely unserious

Lt Gov Peggy Flanagan: "It rings pretty hollow when what they are doing is essentially hurting some of the most vulnerable people in our state"

It's felt for months now that the fed govt is doing everything it can, including acts of violence, to make the Twin Cities unlivable. Vance's announcement shows that effort continues even if Trump's thugs aren't killing people in the street rn. I just don't see how this can go on for 3 more years.

Go to hell

time + THERAPY is going to help you thru whatever you need to get thru. there are other fixes as well but THOSE TWO are the main ones. you can't rush and you can't lie.

Child, BAFTAs edited everything BUT the racial slur.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

“Total destruction… none of that has happened…”

Independent Voter: “I don’t think any of these things he’s done have any Christian values to them.”

Alsobrooks backs Casey Means into a corner about her failure to disclose her conflicts of interest to such an extent where Means has no response and just grants the point

This notion that Black people need to suffer with dignity, *for our dignity,* needs to die.

The thought lodged in my head — intrusively, as I’d rather not connect the names of these two people, frankly — is that Claudine Gay is owed _such_ an apology.

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "The president talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind him that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents."

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "Isn't it is just a sad moment for our country when a member of Congress has to remind the president that Black people aren't apes?"

Reporter: You said Trump's speech is a joke. Why? First-time voter: Just the pure unseriousness. "Oh yeah, America's winning." But like, where? Where are we winning? People here have been murdered. Representatives have been murdered. People protesting at ICE protests have been arrested

JJ HOLMES (disability & healthcare advocate): “I asked why Rep. Corey Mills voted for nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts while scoring himself a mega tax break — Fraud isn't my wheelchair, fraud isn't the services that keep me out of an institution at 22." (H/T @maxwellfrost.bsky.social )

Rep. Summer Lee with the Working People's SOTU response: "Look at Mayor Mamdani, who took on Andrew Cuomo and his corporate backers and won ... he proved that when you show up, when you speak clearly about how to meet people's basic needs, the people respond."

MINNESOTA: “116 bullets through the stained-glass windows. 2 students shot and killed. 2 survived gunshots injuries to the head. I am one of them… elected officials have a duty to protect us from guns.”

Wow. Mike Johnson only took 2 Qs during today's House R presser - he usually takes at least 4 - and neither was about Rep. Tony Gonzales. Johnson is refusing to call for Gonzales's resignation following the release of texts showing he pressured an aide who later committed suicide for sexual photos.
