Oudone Lothirath missed four out of five chemotherapy appointments while in ICE detention and received no medical care there. Now he will likely die in a matter of days. www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...

The Pentagon is feeding Trump a daily, 2-minute video montage of “stuff blowing up.” Those clips are stoking his “increasing frustration with news coverage of the war. … asking aides why the news media doesn’t emphasize what he’s seeing,” www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

I feel like a lot of ppl are missing the big picture here with ICE in airports. (1/3) The President is freely moving federal law enforcement officers—who have shown a willingness to engage in violent behavior with no meaningful accountability—around the country to solve his political problems.

Super grateful that @thesicktimes.org republished my Canary op-ed l.gourl.es/l/56898fa8cc... and the include the CTV campaign. I've been really struggling so this is a lovely bright light #myalgicE #disability #sicktimes #Canada #longcovid

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The Supreme Court refuses to review an odious 5th Circuit decision granting qualified immunity to Texas officials who arrested a citizens-journalist in retaliation against her posing questions to public officials. Sotomayor has an appropriately furious dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

A 13-year-old girl tried to take her life by cutting her wrists with a plastic knife from the cafeteria after guards took away drawing materials, and was put into isolation without seeing a doctor. The teen was deported to Colombia after nearly two months in confinement

Utilities are convincing lawmakers around the U.S. to delay bills that would allow people to buy solar panels, plug them into an outlet and begin generating electricity.

Yesterday, 92% of us voted YES (w/ 99% participation) to authorize a strike if @propublica.org management refuses to compromise on core issues. We need a fair contract that will protect the in-depth investigative reporting that our readers expect. Support us: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr...

A few years back, a friend of mine and I discussed how Robert Mueller’s report essentially said he couldn’t indict a sitting president so it asked Congress to act, which it didn’t do, while the January 6 committee asked the DOJ to take action on a former president, which it didn’t.

Warms my heart to see both Leqaa Kordia and Ward Sakeik free after so long in ICE detention. Both are Palestinian, and they met in a Texas facility. Ward, who came to the US at 9 years old, told @thebarbedwire.com that their friendship is what got her through it: thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/22/w...

“'Today is my wedding anniversary,' said one Sandy, Utah resident. 'But this is my priority. I cannot stand for there to be a concentration camp in my state.' "Another resident said this was her first time participating in a protest..." ksltv.com/local-news/w...

This horrific story gets worse when you find out how this young woman originally came to the US: as a 17-year-old on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane

“We’re trying to get a child out of a jail to do a spelling bee,” Ms. Rachel told me. “I just never thought those words would go together.” Read my story on Ms. Rachel’s new mission to help shut down Dilley and free kids trapped there — starting with two she met over Zoom last week.

What is journalism, anyway? Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"

never do I feel more alienated from “my peers” when the startup kids at the coworking space talk unironically and loudly about wanting to become billionaires

Royer Perez-Jimenez, a teenager stopped for a traffic violation in Florida, is at least the 49th person who has died in detention since Trump took office for his second term in January 2025.

Three major new studies on democracy and freedom all find the U.S. is slipping further away from democracy. Leaders of two of those studies say President Trump's goal is to rule as an autocrat. n.pr/4uG99Am

NEW: When a Wisconsin mayor ended his city's contract with Flock (the AI surveillance company), he was stunned to see Flock refused to remove cameras. So he covered them with plastic bags. Now local activists are taking their fight to Madison & the Dane County sheriff, wanting more cameras gone.

1/ Today, we overwhelmingly voted to authorize a STRIKE as we fight for a fair contract with @propublica.org.

Over the past year, pediatricians have seen a surge in parents who might once have been persuaded to accept vaccines but are now staunchly opposed, and parents who were fully on board but now are unsure. It'll take more than a court ruling to reverse that. From me and Dani Blum:

the president: keeps bizarrely giving shoes to cabinet the cabinet: keeps wearing the shoes although they dont fit, unwilling to risk offense or disfavor by rejecting the mad king's gift/show of dominance and/or dementia, an absurdist microcosm of larger failure NYT: dudes are bad at shopping huh?

there are unprecedented amounts of bad ai illustrations on the anti trans blogs

I'd like to speak with trans adults (18+) whose access to transition care has changed due to state and/or federal policy changes. DM, email [email protected] or Signal joyurcaba.91

Did you know that Medicaid isn't called 'Medicaid' everywhere, to the point that ONE out of THREE people who are on Medicaid don't ✨know✨ it? So how can they be incentivized to fight for their healthcare if they don't know it's their healthcare? (Alt in the comments, it's a lot!)

Today is #LongCovidAwarenessDay Long Covid changed my life beyond recognition. I got ill. I never recovered. Lost my job. Became housebound. I rely on others to do things for me. I lie on my bed most of the day. Watch the Guardian's short film about my life with #LongCovid 👇

tired: harassing athletes for not covering the spread wired: harassing journalists for not making things up

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Again, leaders of other countries don’t talk this way. The glee with which our current leaders talk about killing people is not normal, and nor is their lack of concern for who exactly we’re killing. American bombs incinerated 100 kids in Minab. Were those the “right people”?

Today is the 36th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl and disabled people are still fighting for basic rights in a society that's actively working to undermine them, surrounded by systemic disablism. (This is a corrected thread TY to the person who flagged that I said 26th, not 36th!)

Look at this. There is not one good argument you can make against taxing billionaires. The difference between $839 billion and $792 billion is meaningless to Elon Musk. But the revenue we get back could be the difference between millions of people having or losing healthcare.

I'm devastated to say that Ethan passed away earlier this week. If you knew his story, and even if you didn't, send some good vibes, prayers, whatever your thing is to his family.

The FBI says it is investigating an attack at a synagogue near Detroit as a "targeted act of violence against the Jewish community."

Anti-LGBTQ hate group Genspect advertised over 70 detransitioners would attend their Detrans Awareness Day event in Washington DC. “The world’s largest gathering of detransitioners” included a total of 42 people. Among those I count at least 3 desisters and 3 detransitioners from the UK.

"Under this rule, ICE agents now have the enforcement rationale to assert that trans people—especially those belonging to racial minority groups—are more likely than cis people to have 'misrepresented' themselves during the visa process." More important than ever to support our trans family.

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids." That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.
