Brokered a peace deal in 5th grade today, I’ll be here in case Time wants to speak with me

New op-ed in the LA Times by myself & Dave Stovall. We wrote this because are watching in horror the ways this administration is terrorizing Children of Color. Black & Brown children deserve better than this. We all deserve better than this. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

like we could do a bunch of detective work and discourse analysis to suggest that this is their ideology, but we don’t fucking have to because they are evil dipshits who will just say it to each other

>being left is being unimpressed That's a luxury belief, and we can't afford it in this political economy. Burn it like a wicker man, so that people can eat in the future.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Wikipedia volunteers fuck 🤘🏽 news.slashdot.org/story/25/10/...

A 200-person homeless encampment in Gainesville, GA, is being cleared this week. Many of those living in tents have jobs but can't afford rent. One woman estimated she's been forced to move 20 times. "There's a lot of people who get checks that don't have enough money to get places," she said.

Michelle Woodfork, the incoming sheriff in New Orleans, will face increasing pressure on immigration enforcement from federal and state leadership, who are looking to force local law enforcement to comply with ICE.

wow I can not be lieve this 😐

BREAKING from PP We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens* The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied: Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado www.propublica.org/article/immi... by @nicolefoy.bsky.social

With a less functional NLRB, and even after the shutdown ends, it will continue to be understaffed and underfunded, workers need to organize using other strategies. capitalandmain.com/dollar-store...

Israel returned the bodies of 45 Palestinians, all marked with numbers rather than names. The bodies reportedly arrived with their hands and legs cuffed. Some were still blindfolded. Some had been shot. Others appear to have been run over by tanks. www.cnn.com/world/live-n...

1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19. It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over. Community members are devastated. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I am speechless, STUNNED and so sad 🥺

Miss Major has passed away. We've lost an icon for the ages. Rest in power.

“We have seen pigeons fall from the sky, shot down by drones. My nephews & nieces cried over them as if they had lost loved ones.” In Gaza, survival means union—even across species. We're bombed together, starved together, displaced together. We do not abandon each other, says Hend Salama Abo Helow.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

bad art can be a really great inspiration to make at least better than that art, I will say. defector.com/taylor-swift...

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Sorry, to me this far says more about the threat of big company CEOs than the threat of AI. it.slashdot.org/story/25/09/...

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

ICE is doing forced labor and sexual assault of transgender people in their detention centers, reads a new complaint.

BREAKING: Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least 58 Palestinians since dawn, medical sources in the besieged enclave have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/ufg3xo

My latest for @boltsmag.org: the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court continues to knock it out of the park with groundbreaking criminal procedure rulings. Here, it interprets its own state constitution's guarantee of due process to require that law enforcement record custodial interrogations.

A controversial California bill that would appoint an “Antisemitism Coordinator” is heading to Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk. The legislation, which is purported to combat antisemitism, will stifle criticisms of Israel and its genocidal assault on Gaza according to teachers' unions.

Ben Smith: "What you saw with Mahmoud Khalil is that in some ways he is *less* vulnerable than Jimmy Kimmel. The people who are most vulnerable are the employees of big consolidated megacorporations—" Chris Hayes: "Yeah, although he's about to get deported."

"Nothing that I learned, here, lessened my feeling of pain and confusion and bitterness as related to my origins...Nothing showed me how I might try to alter the political and economic realities underlying our Black condition in white America." June Jordan, "Notes of a Barnard Dropout"

I never want to see Allisha Gray bullied at work ever the fuck again.

Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

a really sobering consideration of how AI has already changed professional journalist practices and how it's likely to continue flowing through how we get to read or receive "the news"

Despite months of protests, a former state prison in California City has officially reopened as an ICE detention center and is now housing detainees Core Civic, the private company that owns the facility, is one of the largest prison operators in the US bakersfieldnow.com/news/local/f...
