Il Washington Post licenzia in tronco l’inviata di guerra mentre è in Ucraina: «Cacciata in piena zona di guerra, sono devastata» Oltre a Lizzie Johnson, sono stati licenziati anche Yeganeh Torbati, corrispondente dall’Iran e dalla Turchia, Claire Parker dal Cairo e Loveday Morris da Berlino.

The text after that ... in the quoted post is: "Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post"

Really proud of New Mexico! www.koat.com/article/immi...

But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

DC is on the map for tomorrow:

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

All flags in San Diego County have been ordered to fly half-staff through Wednesday in solidarity with Minnesota, and in honor of those murdered by ICE. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/s...

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan. Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop. It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities. I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

Documents of the lawless

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

There are now at least 100 House members signed on to our effort to impeach Kristi Noem. Where the hell are the rest of them? Let’s ask:

Late to the game on this, but have seen more than a few 20 somethings taking long pulls on these "disposable" vapes. One of the UC Davis PhD candidates who initiated the study initially thought their measurements were wrong because the toxins were so high. www.ucdavis.edu/news/disposa...

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

I've got family in the Twin Cities. The invasion/occupation is worse than we think and Lydia's take is spot on according to folks who live there.

When Nazis learn Minnesota Nice is not Minnesota Soft.💀

Sophie is just crushing it lately. Elbows up. True north strong and free.

Amazing teamwork by the photojournalists putting it all on the line in documenting the federal agents assault on the first amendment.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Kyiv. Today in Shevchenko Park, a group of Kazakhs cooked free plov (a traditional rice dish) for Ukrainians 💪

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)

It’s painfully obvious these goons have no idea what they’re doing. And they’ve learned nothing in the past week. Imagine going to a doctor’s appointment and all hell breaks loose. They cut your seatbelt, and yank you out of your car. Why is any of this necessary?

Threatening allies, killing citizens and blatant intimidation the press... The authoritarians are sinking their claws deeper.

The Kennedy Center is now officially an empty shell for Trump and his troll, Grenell to shout MAGAisms into the void. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Integrity. Not a word understood by this administration.

Folds: I wouldn’t touch the place while it’s nuclear right now. Even if I’m just going to be a total capitalist about it, it’s like, yeah, let the market speak. How’s the Kennedy Center doing? Oops. Don’t play there. That venue can’t draw crowds. They don’t know what they’re doing there.

Bellingcat knows a crime-laden government when it sees one.

The reputational damage to the MPD in DC is very real across the city. Collaborating with ICE tells us that you're against the community you serve: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

For some reason the #EpsteinFiles are getting less attention right now.

2025 is now, officially, the worst year for job creation outside of recession since 2003. @byheatherlong.bsky.social

Numbers refute Miller, Trump, Vance and this other heavily make-upped clown. "The number of detainees arrested by ICE without convictions or pending criminal charges rose from 842 on Dec. 1, 2024, to 21,892 on Nov. 30, 2025 — an astounding 2,500% increase."

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

Murderous thugs.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Here are two key frames of the video. (Changed language on the first notation.)

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

Dishearteningly true at this point. Our country has been laid low by power hungry bigots in the past. "Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change". We need to bring a little more Malcolm into the mix.
