The president fails to realize how deeply Somali Americans love this country. We are doctors, teachers, and elected leaders working to make our country better. We will not let Trump intimidate or debilitate us. My op-ed: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/o...

Behold the greatest economy in the history of the world

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

NEWS: The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored ALL previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge in Rhode Island last month. This is a massive win for libraries & communities in every state & territory! Learn more: www.ala.org/news/2025/12...

Donald Trump carried Pennsylvania’s Bucks County in 2024. Last month, the Republican sheriff who had partnered with ICE to aid deportations lost his reelection bid to Democrat Danny Ceisler.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

Major decision. In D.C., ICE/CBP can no longer arrest immigrants without a warrant unless they find individualized probable cause of a flight risk. "Viewing all immigrants potentially subject to removal as criminals is, as a legal matter, plain wrong." www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

It is so frustrating that Olivia Nuzzi joins a group of journalists who withhold info in the public interest for the sake of selling more books and newsletter subscriptions. It is galling she doesn't have an answer when asked about how this info could have affected his confirmation as HHS Secretary.

excited and grateful for this new insult next time my software engineer Husband does something annoying and/or dorky ima get to be like 'this muhfucka more virgin than a computer'

AG's across the country need to know how their constituents feel. Too important to ignore. Your state?👇 Give 'em a call. "The new suits — filed against Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington — mirror the department’s cases against eight states from earlier this year."

“Maybe we’re onto something.” “How can we tell? We’ve only done this 187,623 times with the same success every single time. Could be a fluke.”

This is happening across the entire country; prosecutions are down because federal agents are rounding up migrants instead.

This sounds a lot like Office of Faith-Based Initiatives under GW Bush. Big roll-out, lots of controversy, erroneous reports of its evaporation even as it settled in across gov't. Good reporting here.

News: Democrats on the House Budget Committee are demanding, in a new letter, that OMB Director Russ Vought testify this year. We obtained the letter. Read the full story: punchbowl.news/article/fina...

This is something.

If blowing up survivors in the water was the right thing to do because they are “narco-terrorists” (trust us, bro) and deserve no quarter, why did we rescue two other survivors in a different strike, fly them home, and let them go free?

Everything Happens on X

this is going to be a fucking shitshow, lmao

jeffries not only knows that this is a lie—he's demonstrated that he knows it's a lie because when a backbencher dem tried to introduce articles of impeachment it caused a panic in dem leadership who immediately bullied the guy into dropping the impeachment motion

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

indeed, perhaps the existing congressional pushback is quiet precisely because the gop doesn't want trump/his base to notice

In September, I (and many other accessibility advocates) reviewed the America by Design website, finding sloppy AI-generated code and accessibility bugs. @notus.com wrote on it, and also spoke to many amazing folks from @alt18f.bsky.social and @ethanmarcotte.com www.notus.org/trump-white-...

I've only been doing SW for a few years but I've seen several "first platform[s] owned and operated by sex workers" come and go and they've all been scams or failures... I hope this isn't either of those things but I'm also not hopeful that it'll be anything other than a way of enriching its owners.

“In nearly all of the examples Judge Ellis cited in her 200-plus page opinion, she says the Department of Homeland Security narrative contradicts the reality of what can be seen on agents' body-worn cameras.” abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

Cato Institute this week undermined the Trump admin's claims that it's targeting “the worst of the worst” with its immigration operations across the US by showing data about the lack of criminal histories of immigrants who have been arrested & detained. www.commondreams.org/news/immigra...

EVERY house we looked at in altadena had a high fire risk, so we looked and bought in Pasadena even though there was less inventory. EVERY house i looked at in Altadena burned in Eaton, four weeks after we closed. Eaton missed our house by five blocks. the risk rating worked. shame it’s gone.

this guy is betting on a future with accountability for today’s crimes, so we should too

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire? Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

Indiana Senate Republican Greg Walker “said he would have reported the alleged violation to federal authorities “if I thought that there was anyone of integrity in Washington that would follow through on my accusation ..” @adamwren.bsky.social #redistrict dailyjournal.net/2025/11/26/s...

What Trump is saying to women reporters — so far, all of them white — is disgusting. But where was this level of outrage when he was calling Black women like Reps. Maxine Waters and Jasmine Crockett "low IQ" or when he insulted ABC's Rachel Scott during her tough interview w/him at NABJ?

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

Hernandez also has a cameo in Gangsters of Capitalism

Margaret Sullivan discusses the abysmal ethics of NYT's Epstein coverage, including the paper's radio silence following disclosure of the fact that its lead Epstein correspondent was seeking money from Epstein. The corruption goes far in explaining NYT's editorially deranged Epstein coverage.

No, we need reconstructionists, not moderates.

This is poignant.

If you're interested, this tribute to Alice Wong was written by one of the people who knew her best www.thenation.com/article/soci...

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention. Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

These people get framed as a “bad cops” but the people who hire police officers clearly find they have all the traits they desire for the role.

Jeannette Garcia is affiliated with Turning Point Action and an Avondale City Council member. She’s being sued for allegedly sexually harassing another Turning Point employee and then drunkenly kidnapping his daughter alongside another Turning Point employee after he rejected Garcia’s advances.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

We are on track to lose $12.5 billion in tourism spending for 2025.

And did absolutely nothing to stop them.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.

Savannah Standing Bear’s family and friends have heard plenty of rumors, but not many answers. It’s been eight months since she disappeared from the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. The latest from an #MMIP series in collaboration with @ict-news.bsky.social ⬇️ buff.ly/uyIDKr8

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Three GOP appeals judges swooped in last week to lift a lower court order which told the Trump admin to stop brutalizing protesters, priests, & press in Chicago I played the connect-the-dots game to see how they justified their decision--it's a hot mess, tbqh! ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
