In Kyiv, the air raid alarm was finally turned off at 9 o'clock this morning. Across Ukraine massive combined drone, cruise, ballistic and hypersonic missile attack, at least 5 dead and almost 20 injured. These were photos from the capital in the early hours, mid-attack:

Trump nominee for special counsel drops out after his Nazi posts surfaced.

This is a great breakdown on what the treason clause is, and isn’t. Good read.

Trump isn’t sending the National Guard to fight crime. He’s sending them to stage chaos. Crime in San Francisco is at historic lows.

Amazon hopes to replace 600,000 US workers with robots, according to leaked documents

BREAKING: new racist Republican groupchat has been leaked to Politico featuring texts from Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel. Ingrassia’s texts include vile pro-Nazi & racist messages targeting Black people, Chinese people, and Indian people.

Have you seen Tyson? Police are asking for the public's help to bring the stolen bulldog home.

Virginia Giuffre’s memoir goes live in just under four hours.

Every year I write the same, slightly grimmer story 1 in 10 five years ago 1 in 9 1 in 8 1 in 7 New York public school students experienced homelessness last school year, a record high. For @citylimitsnews.bsky.social I discuss the troubling rise buff.ly/ICwJLj3

I love this story - every part of this story. “"[To see] a woman empowered, [to see] a woman's life changing from being that woman that would literally have to beg to being a woman that can make decisions," Nandudu says.”

Every storefront on the prominent block in downtown Berkeley is vacant, but its new owner says a revival is coming.

It’ll be appealed, but today was a good day for kids. Kids can form their own opinions. Give them education and critical thinking tools, and then let chips fall where they may. Banning books doesn’t erase existence, but it will make the real world harder to navigate when they get there.

The Trump administration has claimed violent crime is rampant in Oregon’s largest city. A Trace analysis shows that shootings have actually plummeted.

$40B for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $250M for a new White House ballroom $150M for Trump's golf outings $520M for National Guard deployments $200M for Kristi Noem's jets But sorry, Poors -- ain't no money to lower your healthcare bills. #FDT

Appeals court, in 2 to 1 split, clears path for Trump to deploy Oregon National Guard in Portland www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

As someone who pardoned convicted seditionists, he doesn’t even belong there. Taking a wrecking ball to the White House, as he has to this country, to make room for his ego, is unforgivable. Fuck this!

"I'm only 4'6 and I can't see. What harm was I going to do to them?" Haberl said.” “Tuesday night, Haberl was protesting at the ICE facility when federal agents picked him up and dropped him on the ground.” He was sitting in protest. Just sitting.

On Sunday, a DOJ whistleblower told 60 Minutes what the public has suspected for months now: The Trump administration told him to lie to a judge about Ábrego García. trib.al/TE5xu42 "What’s to stop them if they decide they don’t like you anymore? To say you’re a criminal, you’re a member of MS-13?"

You really can’t make this shit up. Live ammunition detonates over I-5 and damages CHP vehicle being used for Vance security at Pendleton. This, after the VP mocked Newsom’s safety concerns about live rounds being shot across the nation’s busiest highway. Haven’t seen a WH reply since.

Barring new cases, the patient's recovery kicks off a 42-day countdown to declaring the country's 16th outbreak over.

Yikes — WP reports Rubio turned over gang informants to El Salvador to get that deal to let Trump send immigrants to their hard labor prison without due process. A lawless regime. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

On this #Sunday- beautiful 1yo MASON sits in death row @nycacc.bsky.social - he’s not in the Epstein files- he likes a #Subdayfunday but with low reposts- he’s going 2b killed! Come on PEOPLE! Your reposts have SAVED SO MANY LIVES! I need ur help! He’s begging 4his life! REPOST HIM PLS!

““You are either an American or a Democrat. There's no way to be both,” said Chiney.” ““It's America first. By the end of the day, I hope we make Trump king. I hope we make Trump king,” he said.” Ummm…what? 🤨

Despite its childishness, there are reasons this matters. He has a habit of using the absurd to project intentions. No, I don’t think we need rain coats to fend off flying shit, but it’s foolish not to recognize how freely he shares his disdain for a huge portion of people he’s tasked with serving.

No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a murder. But a co-defendant testified against him under the threat of capital punishment. He was sentenced to death by a 10-2 jury vote. Only two states allow death sentences even when all jurors don’t agree. Alabama plans to execute him next week.

At least 38 Palestinians have been killed as the Israeli army commits 47 violations of ceasefire agreement.

The protests included a huge human banner on Ocean Beach.

Difficult to capture just how many people are here on the capitol grounds here at No Kings, Des Moines, Iowa. #NoKings #Iowa

The crazy thing about the No Kings crowd estimate is that it still only represents a tiny fraction of people who oppose what Trump & Co are doing. Most younger people were either working or heard the call to keep things very chill and sat out, as did many voting-eligible POC, for obvious reasons.

Saw two No Kings protestors in their 90s today plus this centenarian!

DC churches rang their bells in support of protestors today. We must keep those bells of freedom ringing. No Kings

Antifa wilin’ out in Pleasant Hill, CA. #nokings

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way. Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

Okay, Tennessee… someone needs to go get this guy and snuggle him for me. That face ❤️

Wikipedia Volunteers Avert Tragedy by Taking Down Gunman at Conference By Andy Newman At Civic Hall in Union Square, a man with a gun walked onto the stage at a Wikipedia conference. Richard Knipel, CUNY's Wikimedian-in-Residence, jumped the gunman and, with others' help, saved the day. Gift link

Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

“Federal immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras, a judge said Thursday after seeing tear gas and other aggressive steps used against protesters.”

Reporter Martha Raddatz: I turned in my Pentagon pass today after 30 years because like all major news organizations ABC will not sign the new restrictive pentagon requirements. This was the image I wanted to remember as I walked out of the building. www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1...

In a clear rebuke of recent federal health policy, 15 Democratic governors announced today they’ve formed a public health alliance that breaks with guidance from the Trump administration and U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

Yesterday, California adopted a law to raise the pay received by incarcerated firefighters when they’re fighting a fire from $1 to $7.25 per hour—meeting the federal minimum wage. Four other new laws also give new rights to incarcerated firefighters.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR. When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat. But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

Cool, cool. Near 97% insurance premium hikes, and we’re throwing Argentina a $20 billion bone. Makes sense.

Another video from Kharkiv after Russia's aerial bomb demolished part of a hospital. A reminder that six patients were injured by shrapnel. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Israeli media had all but ignored the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, according to an INSS report. One executive admitted that directors at her outlet “made a conscious decision…to hide what was happening in Gaza from Israeli readers and viewers.”

Gutting special education resources is a disgusting new low in this bottomless cruelty pit.

Look, I'm not in the "news" business, I'm in the legislation business, which I'm also not doing.
