And yet, lending legitimacy to enable those international crimes was also a decision. “Gabbard and her office have not been central players in the major national security decisions… including military strikes on Iran and the raid that seized Venezuelan President…” www.icij.org/news/2026/05...

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

The U.S. Has Murdered More Than 190 Civilian in Boat Strikes. We’re Tracking Them All. SOUTHCOM is now counting the survivor of the last strike, on May 8, as another death. We have the running tally of strikes and deaths on our tracker @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

HUGE NEWS: ICE’s courthouse arrests have been STAYED by a New York district judge. That means that ICE will have to stop arresting our immigrant neighbors on the spot when they show up to court at places like 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, and 201 Varick. (1/2)

El exfutbolista antifascista, Eric Cantona, presenta en el Festival de Cine de Cannes un documental sobre su vida. Es nieto de catalanes exiliados. Propinó una patada voladora a un ultra neonazi. Le costó una sanción de 9 meses sin jugar al fútbol. Dijo que fue el mejor momento de toda su carrera.

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

BREAKING: Minnesota has INDICTED ICE officer Christian Castro in the non-fatal shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. 4 counts of assault & 1 count of lying. This is the SECOND ICE officer charged by the Hennepin County DA. No charges yet for the murders of Good and Pretti. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Well there you go: FOX NEWS amplifying Mayorkas's horses--t comments amplifying FOX NEWS lies on immigration. When we talk about the _bipartisan war on immigrants_ which led to Trumpism, use this minor episode as one of many examples showing how we got here. noticias.foxnews.com/media/ex-bid...

Guy in my section just cleanly caught a foul ball while seated, took a second to laugh about it with his buddy, and handed the ball to the nearest kid. That’s how you do it

To be continued…

NEW: We're very disappointed that SB 1095 was held today. It was the first ever-legislation in our state to protect Californians from Fusion Centers' spying and racial profiling. We're grateful to Sen @senatorsrp.bsky.social for authoring this bill and we'll continue the fight. Our full statement ⬇️

Rep. Stansbury: "This administration is choosing to not investigate the crimes that are in these files. The administration is choosing to release the names of survivors and not perpetrators…The administration is trying to gaslight the American people."

What the what.

Georgia's governor signs a comically transparent law. It makes local elections in 5 big blue counties nonpartisan, to give GOP candidates a chance to win without a party label in places like Atlanta. And it doesn't change anything in the rest of the state, for red counties to know who's GOP.

They are called entitlements because you are *entitled* to the money you paid over the years towards Social Security and Medicare. Unlike the over $38 billion Elon Musk slopped up from the government trough over the past two decades in contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits. #IgnorantSmucks

Terrible

New Marist poll has Dems +10 in House matchup. That's why Trump is openly celebrating that Rs are gerrymandering while Ds are getting stopped in Virginia. His explicit position is Rs should play by their own rules. On the pod, @ariberman.bsky.social is great on this: newrepublic.com/article/2102...

Plain english: it was racist and illegal. Shame on the local and national leaders - firms and company officials- that have gone along with the attacks on DEI. History will tell. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

“As governor, I will veto any map that dilutes the voices of Black and Latino voters,” Keisha Lance Bottoms, Dem gubernatorial candidate in Georgia, told me in a statement. Don't miss this angle. The SCOTUS ruling suddenly makes races like GA gov more consequential.

"The descriptions pointed to a military campaign that has grown larger and more lethal, even as it has receded from public consciousness, overshadowed by President Trump’s war in Iran.' www.nytimes.com/2026/04/28/u...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

I’ve been critical of the SPLC lately but this indictment feels like a stunt. It targets one of the primary enemies of their shared cinematic universe at a time when MAGA is divided over the war. Me for MSNOW: www.ms.now/opinion/sout...

Great example of the many things that city and state officials can do that would make a difference right now. Start by ensuring local law enforcement isn’t a pipeline sharing our info to ICE or DHS. #SB1095 #IceOut

We're excited to share that SB 1095 passed its second policy committee yesterday! We're so glad this critical bill is moving forward. Updated language will be in print soon. Thank you @senatorsrp.bsky.social; lead witness Saira Hussain, Senior Staff Atty at @eff.org; and all who supported!

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

“If a country is a member of the ICC and a person who is wanted by the ICC enters our territory, then that person must be taken into custody,” newly minted Prime Minister Péter Magyar said in response to questions about accused war criminal Bibi Netanyahu entering Hungary, Politico reported.

Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

For the Pedro Vargas Llosa fans in the house, we have officially reached the Fiesta Del Chivo stage of US press freedom.
