tfw you start your own photography business but the local photographic society tells you to submit your photos for competition in the Novice category.

You know who won’t be there to give Jamaica a hand now when they really need it? USAID. The United States doesn’t do that kind of thing anymore.

Happy Stock Market Crash Remembrance Day to all who celebrate!

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

The algorithms have decided I need to move to Maine and vote for Graham Platner.

Horses are often insecure. They don’t want to know who’s boss, they want to know who’s in charge of security.

Anyway: 1. Do not murder people 2. Do not praise the politics of hateful people That is all

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

24 years ago I was in Paris, on the phone with my mom in Pennsylvania trying to process the news that the twin towers “aren’t there anymore” and that if I needed to get home at that moment, I couldn’t because all air traffic had been indefinitely stopped.

I heard an interview this morning with a young man who considered Charlie Kirk a mentor and friend and who is just devastated today etc. the guy said Kirk was the kindest person (!) and that “people” really need to be more careful about the things they say. 🧵

Once again, I want to give Michel Martin a standing ovation for her interview this morning of Matt Schlapp and not letting him getting away with castigating NPR and perceived “enemies” of the right without acknowledging his, CPAC’s, and the right’s own role in inflammatory speech.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Just got home. I figure some of you might need a timeline cleanse at the moment.

Yea, dost thou jeer and flout me in the teeth?

@pbsnews.org The detentions outside courtrooms have sometimes led to scenes of families pleading to let their loved ones go and confrontations with officers. Watch the second part of our conversation with a photojournalist who spent weeks documenting arrests at federal facilities in Manhattan.

As another part of the Trump administration's mass deportation push, immigration enforcement officials have conducted arrests outside courtrooms as people show up for hearings. Here's part of our conversation with a photojournalist who documented arrests at federal facilities in Manhattan.

So. I saw an interview with a photojournalist who’s been documenting ICE detentions as they happen at a New York immigration court. He talked about how-in addition to being devastating for those detained and their families-these detentions are affecting the ICE officers. 🧵

OH GREAT NOW THE SWAMP IS WOKE www.iflscience.com/deep-in-virg...

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

Is anyone following those goons around with loudspeakers playing the Star Wars Imperial March?

I must continue to insist that this is not a strong regime. It does not have the kind of pan-societal support needed to enforce Gleichshaltung. It has significant elite buy-in and a small popular coalition, but it is brittle and feeble and will collapse if pressed hard enough.

This totally reminds me of smaller birds mobbing raptors. Like starlings ganging up on hawks. And it works in nature.

Not all heroes wear a cape. Some are wrapped in greased paper.

I was never worried about driving in DC until now.

NEW: Nathan Albers once co-owned a company that schemed to hire and conceal undocumented workers. Now his company could make hundreds of millions from work on the nation's largest detention camp. “The irony is thick,” said a former DHS official.

I was gonna do a whole bunch of stuff but now there’s a cat asleep on my lap.

The thing about taking pleasure (or grim satisfaction) or whatever in bad people and their kids drowning in a flood is that it's bad for your soul. It makes the world uglier without making the world better.

Remembering the victims, survivors, their families, & the Mother Emanuel AME Church family on the 10th anniversary of the massacre. Keep their living example of faith and forgiveness in your hearts and may hearts and minds change to close the Charleston loophole to save lives 🙏🏾

The 1961 assassination of Patrice Lumumba, independent Congo's 1st prime minister, was a defining moment in Africa history. He hoped to keep Congo & its resources out of the neo-colonial grasp of Belgium & the US, which plotted his murder w/his Congolese enemies. Finally someone may face justice.

As a 52-year-old, I grew up with domestic right wing terrorist organizations threatening violence daily, and blowing up buildings and killing people periodically, throughout my whole political life: it was the anti-abortion movement.

What did Burundi do to DJT?

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

As stupid as what Noem said is, we’re kidding ourselves if we think views like that can’t become law. This administration is determined to transform our legal order, and cruel, stupid things have become the law for generations. It’s worth mocking but also taking seriously, because meant seriously.

Of course. #EconSky
