The Trump administration has opened an investigation into Boston’s affordable housing policies, accusing the city of engaging in a “racialist theory of housing justice” that discriminates against white people.

In a moment of darkness with the heinous, hateful mass shootings in Providence and Sydney, killing students at Brown and Jews on Bondi Beach, on this 13th anniversary of the Sandy Hook, the snow covered trees of Inwood provide some solace

I just knew this was not going to be the win that Patel et Al thought it would be.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

needs to be a stamp for that..

The entire Instagram "influencer" model is basically dead. Why bother posing in a hipster coffee shop when the AI can gin up the image for free in two minutes?

They clearly were waiting for an incident and scapegoat. No way the govt works this quickly during a federal holiday week

The beloved Galapagos tortoise named Gramma, the oldest resident of the San Diego Zoo at an estimated 141 years, has died.

Btw you think people are starting to hate trump now wait til he starts getting American servicemen killed in another goddamn war for oil like every Republican president for the last... What 50 years?

Boston Public Schools is the first district in the U.S. to swap out Mercator maps for the Peters projection, a more accurate and equitable depiction of the world that avoids the exaggerated size of Euro-centric countries.

"After federal immigration officers in Charlotte saw a man taking photos of them, they chased him nearly 2 miles down a main road and made plans to “smash” into him, video played in court Thursday showed. They broke his window, charged him with a federal felony and accused him of assaulting them."

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club." They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

these people basically just take luxury government jets and go to fancy events like make a wish kids while their minions flashbang your elderly neighbors

They misidentified the intern. The judge told them they had misidentified the intern. But instead of double checking, they took that as an affront to their authority. So they surrounded the judge's car and threatened to smash the windows to get to the intern. They had misidentified the intern.

"Brazil’s former far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, has been arrested at his villa in the capital, Brasília, amid suspicions he was poised to abscond to a foreign embassy to avoid going to prison for masterminding a military coup." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Racial profiling is all they do. Lawless.

ICE is using illegal tactics to arrest people. Headlock, kneeling on necks are illegal but ICE uses them everyday.

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff. There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

Reposting this in light of Trump’s disgusting Piggy moment. Because his words weren’t just about silencing a female reporter, but also about doing so in the most demeaning way. Because Trump is a man who not just hates women, he actively wants to disempower them. open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...

The U.S. Border Patrol is quietly operating a nationwide monitoring program that tracks the movements of millions of American drivers, far beyond the border itself. This “predictive intelligence” system uses a vast network of license-plate-scanning cameras positioned across the country.

If you want a sense of how far the surveillance state has expanded inside the United States, look at what federal authorities are doing on our highways.

Trump has found a terrifyingly effective way to eliminate bad news: delete the data. From hunger and poverty stats to foreign investment numbers, federal agencies are being gutted—making it harder to measure the impact of his policies. @crampell.bsky.social reports:

The NFL endorsed a ‘Chowdamosa’ for Patriots fans. I drank it so you don’t have to

Just in time for Christmas!

The first time Epstein was arrested, they found an Austrian passport with a false name at his house and residency in Saudi Arabia from the 1980s. How does a random rich guy get one of the strongest passports from a neutral country without being a citizen or having any relations to said country?

“This is what corruption looks like. They’re stealing money from the 🇺🇸 people’s pockets.” @crockett.house.gov calls out Trump’s DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for funneling hundreds of millions to a group she has close ties to.

Too mean? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Gotta say: I love this scar for her, though.

The Trump administration planned to kick thousands of American seniors off of their disability benefits. We pushed back — and now, they're backing off. Public pressure works. Keep fighting back.

You may not be able to afford rent and groceries, and your health insurance may be about to skyrocket in 42 days, but the good news is that the Saudis got F-35s, nuclear tech, and security guarantees after putting hundreds of millions in Trump’s pocket.

To be clear: the updated statements are *complete shameless lies, no exceptions.* Vaccines *do not cause autism.* This is backed up by *overwhelming* evidence. The CDC is actively lying directly to the American people. Any journalist who doesn't lead with a demand for adv explanation needs to quit.

Yes, but it wasn’t a cash business for those other presidents.

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.

This is one of the clearest examples of a disordered counterpublic capturing an institution I've seen. It's nice to have your work proven on a regular basis, but also very bad. demos.co.uk/research/ver...
