“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social

Very happy to report I have started a new column and posted my first piece: "Starting from Scratch" about quitting my job at the Post. Check it out, please (& share, subscribe, etc.). open.substack.com/pub/scratchc...

They ignore data. They lie about history. They are statistically illiterate. They ignore precedent & the law & the plain meaning of words in the Constitution whenever convenient. And then they have the Supreme chutzpah to complain that we are idiots who don’t show them enough deference & respect 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

Imagine paying for Netflix every month, and then paying when you watch the movie, and then getting another bill three months later because one of the actors isn’t signed with Netflix so you have to pay him directly. That’d be STUPID right??? This is a post about health insurance.

Hegseth's demeanor is bizarre. He's almost on the verge of laughing while talking about the shooting of two National Guardsmen. He seems elated.

Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.

Thanks, Washington Post!

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.

Thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer with Chris Van Hollen, who personally went to El Salvador to find Kilmar. That’s the kind of courage we need right now. Like / share if you agree.

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Schumer refused to endorse or vote for Mamdani because he considers himself a “guardian of Israel.” Prioritizing a Foreign country—especially one committing genocide & enforcing apartheid—over your own oath to uphold the U.S. CONSTITUTION should be disqualifying for public office. Remove Schumer

BREAKING: Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent. Sean Dunn faced a misdemeanor after federal grand jurors refused to indict him on the felony charge sought by Trump's DOJ. Hilarious: "The jury feasted on sandwiches for lunch before delivering the verdict."😅

Zohran Mamdani won NYC Mayor while unapologetically: -Calling Israel's siege on Palestinians a genocide -Upholding ICC's warrant to arrest Netanyahu -Upholding BDS as a legitimate form of free speech -Demanding Palestinian self-determination -Securing a plurality of Jewish voters This is the future

"the documents were so restricted that top Justice Department security officials reacted with surprise to the code names: They had never heard of them before. Some involved special access programs that required the president or a cabinet member to grant approval to view."

I’m just going to say it… It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

Kristi Noem is a liar and a dog killer.

It is the moral, ethical, and yes legally right for Democratic States and Cities to engage in Soft Secession by withholding federal taxes. This would not violate the Supremacy Clause, has immense precedent in US history, & the time to act is NOW. www.qasimrashid.com/p/blue-state...

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak". But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

"Why Is Trump’s ‘Peace Plan’ Focused on Deradicalizing Palestinians, Not Israelis?" Israel violated the ceasefire, while Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian woman and US journalist, and Israeli rioters shut down a soccer match, writes Zeteo's @premthakker.bsky.social. Read/share/subscribe:

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

Donald Trump just did something truly awful and is hoping you won't notice. He fired all of the special education staff at the Department of Education. What kind of person abandons kids with special needs?

I’ve been saying for a long time that Democrats should be holding press conferences in front of the White House daily. Now they should be holding press conferences daily in front of the destruction of the East Wing.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

ICE agents kidnapped a US citizen in Chicago because she didn’t “look” American to them. She even had her US passport on her. 🤬

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go." The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

Please remind us who the domestic terrorists are again.

NEW: A proposal for rebuilding Gaza that's been shared with the Trump admin references Tesla, IKEA, TSMC, and tons of other companies. I reached out to them—none had discussed or agreed to any work in Gaza. Some had no idea they were mentioned in this proposal: www.wired.com/story/a-plan...

This. And this again.

This man is being Gorilla Channel'd with a rotating selection of AI slop riot porn by several known white supremacists who are secretly running the government.

Republicans? They make good stuff!

To avoid swearing in a duly elected Democratic House member who will force a vote to release the Epstein files, the House is in recess indefinitely

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state. Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide. Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

😳

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....
