Second night of Jersey cops attacking protesters who are there supporting hunger strikers inside a sadistic immigrant jail

Governor Mikie Sherrill says it was “absolutely necessary” for the NJ State Police to attack protesters at Delaney Hall last night. This was in order for NJ State Police to “secure the area outside of Delaney Hall,” “protect public safety, and avoid escalation from ICE.” www.nj.gov/governor/new...

ICE is targeting press outside Delaney Hall

It can't happen tomorrow of course, and it won't happen this year, but everyone left of center, everywhere, really actually does need to think about what a new system should look like. This one is in fact not tenable anymore. It may mean just crippling the court, but honestly it likely means more.

been getting some new followers from a list (babby's first) and I appreciate y'all being here! but I feel like I need to warn all of you with blue wave emojis in your bios that I am not a liberal and am often very mean to democrats including the ones you like

All of the people being like, “I still have masks from last time” are really grinding my gears today, because we are still in a pandemic! It is still “last time”! Cases are a lot lower than they have been right now, but that doesn’t mean covid is gone. You can, and should, still be wearing a mask.

harris won massachusetts without any help from me and I'd appreciate it if liberals could remember that the electoral college exists

For @ms.now, I wrote about the Trump administration going after Smith College, a New England women's college, over allowing trans women to attend the school. The investigation not only threatens the school, but also the surrounding town, which I live in. www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

I was working in geek media during Gamergate and I can assure Will that he is neither experiencing Kiwifarms nor Gamergate

Small correction: this is a group of concerned citizens who saw the Baystate decision and decided to protest it and they are not affiliated with any advocacy groups.

Amal Khalil is the ninth journalist killed by Israel in Lebanon this year. She told local media in 2024 that she had received a death threat from Israel’s Mossad spy agency warning her to leave southern Lebanon or risk decapitation.

I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

hey kid, wanna feel insane www.theverge.com/policy/91718...

they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement

Happy Earth Day! Walt Kelly’s iconic strip celebrating Earth Day appeared on April 22, 1971. His message has only become more relevant, and urgent, in the years that followed.

trump's former "commander-at-large" of the border patrol greg bovino says mass deportations, not deporting "worst of the worst" will "correct" places like Plano, Texas having a diverse population

"It just felt like the floor had fallen out. Like all the support that I thought we had was gone. Maybe this is naive, but I didn't think that would happen in Massachusetts." there is functionally a conspiracy to gaslight you into believing that, so it's understandable www.npr.org/2026/04/17/n...

I know people bristle at the idea of leftists who police language but a big reason it happens is because, especially as it relates to politicians, the language we choose serves as an entirely accurate predictor of the types of policy decisions we would make & who we would & wouldn’t place value on

also happy Lois Lane Day to all journalists who aren't afraid to mix it up and get their hands dirty
