“The law required that the Department of Justice must justify all redactions with ‘a written justification published in the Federal Register and submitted to Congress.’”

Just straight up liar. [Trump, your biggest supporter of IVF. Ever.]

@npr.org has also humanized the issue, as with their story on renowned cancer researcher Joan Brugge. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), an operational research center crucial to furthering our understanding of weather and helping to save lives and property, is at risk of being dismantled. We must not let that happen. 🧵⬇️

And pardon people (as long as it’s a federal offense).

I wonder if Stefanik and Greene have anything in common….

“The abuses of ICE need to be prosecuted.” #neverforget newrepublic.com/article/2038...

“The Labor Department decided to estimate October housing costs as static, likely making overall inflation in the report appear cooler than it really is. “The November inflation report was like the data-nerd equivalent of the emperor-with-no-clothes story:” www.semafor.com/newsletter/1...

“Suffice it to say that if either Congress or the Supreme Court were functioning branches of government, this sort of thing would not fly.” www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-ball...

A Kavanaugh stop is not a “brief encounter”; it is Supreme Court sanctioned racial profiling being abused with impunity by ICE.

What’s puzzling is that he appears to be reading mostly from the teleprompter. Someone wrote those words. Almost all of them.

For humans, static electricity is a curiosity. For insects, it can be life or death: spiders use it to catch prey, bumblebees to collect pollen, and nematodes to leap onto passing flies. bit.ly/3L1Rhhk @tomlumperson.bsky.social

This isn’t enforcement. This is harassment. They’ve grabbed people off the street for how they look, separated families, and scarred communities with masked agents with guns. I encourage everyone to do as they have — peacefully protect your neighborhoods and neighbors.

We are failing our kids

Susie Wiles doesn’t know why things happen. Speaker Johnson never knows. Even Trump doesn’t know why he pardoned people or who they are or why shipwrecked survivors are bombed or… Who does know? www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Just the thing as days become longer, so perhaps hope. www.dnr.state.mn.us/mcvmagazine/...

Zohran Mamdani took a leaf from Marina Abramović’s “The Artist is Present” by staging a daylong appearance at the Museum of the Moving Image, where he had one-on-one conversations with more than 100 constituents.

" I called this 4 hour continuous improvised sound event “Out Loud, In Alphabetical Order” because the structural basis of it was the reading of 197 words and phrases banned by the fascist Regime: a form of mantra for collective resistance." www.instagram.com/p/DSDh_rKEpA_/

Another Kavanaugh stop on the road to autocracy.

Outside an entrance to the Second Avenue subway station in the East Village, street artist Doug Groupp has spray-painted an artwork portraying ICE officers detaining the statue of Liberty.

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

Another Kavanaugh stop. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray. The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter. These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby. We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

It’s like the entire Trump hierarchy is channeling Roy Cohn.

Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

"A second agent then joins them and appears to help restrain him, who can be heard repeating 'I’m a citizen' and screaming. Several people then come into the hallway from outside and begin filming the interaction and whistling before the agents pull him outside..." www.cnn.com/2025/12/13/u...

Kavanaugh stop

"If ICE removed every brown, Black and yellow person from this country, the economy would collapse," Ka Vang writes.

This is a white supremacist rally. Anyone who attends something like this or still supports the leader of this movement should be unwelcome in your home and shunned from civil society. Period. We’re way past the point where this crap should be tolerated from anyone. Cast them out.

The Speaker Johnson defense - don’t know anything about it - to a Kavanaugh stop.

Heartbreaking and accurate, at least based on some similar experiences. Trump is not helping anyone except a few billionaires, who don't need that help. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/o...

“Bradley acknowledged to lawmakers that U.S. intelligence did not conclude the drugs were heading to the U.S. Rather it showed that the boat was traveling south toward another country in South America, Suriname…eventually heading to Europe or Africa.”

They are quite literally proposing an already-tried-and-failed policy that led to kids getting preventable diseases, organ failure, and cancer.

Racist warmonger-in-chief

A Mexican woman was grabbed by ICE right after a c section. She was suffering eclampsia and other complications, and her baby was alone in the NICU They wouldn’t even give her a breast pump She has a pending visa for victims of violent crimes… and then ICE committed a violent crime against her.

i made a video about the president's gutter racism against somali-americans and how a scandal became a smear became a call for de facto ethnic cleansing

Kavanaugh travesty

We have a white supremacist government determined to terrorize and disenfranchise people of color. It's obvious. We need to say it, and we need to stop it.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

credit to NYT for not sanewashing the appalling bigotry we saw today in the WH "Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry."
