“If you’re quiet now, you would’ve been quiet in 1940.”

WTF

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

How the Trump Administration Turned Immigration Courts Into Deportation Traps for ICE | Over several months, reporters for @apnews.com observed immigration courtroom proceedings in 21 cities. Here's what they found.

Heinous.

Organic Tequilas: The 10 You Need To Try (You don't. Honest. Just drink Tapatio, or Tequila Ocho, or G4, or El Tesoro, or El Tequileño...)

Law enforcement physically attacked 72 journalists covering immigration in LA this year—more than double the city’s 2020 BLM protest total, according to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker. lapublicpress.org/2025/11/indy...

ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it. The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

@abc7ny.bsky.social are you guys gonna cover this? Seems newsworthy. #Disney #ABC #ABCNews

I forgot all about "pink slime."

Please someone give me a job.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

Researchers tried plugging every possible phone number into WhatsApp's web app. They found they could collect 3.5 billion users' phone numbers, plus photos for half and profile text for more than a third, the biggest personal data exposure ever by some measures. www.wired.com/story/a-simp...

"Three years into a brutal wave of the virus, industry leaders raised evidence that bird flu was entering barns differently and evading even the strictest protocols. They suspected it could be airborne and begged officials to deploy a proven weapon against the disease: a vaccine for poultry."

I just want everyone in this story to die, the more horribly, the better. #zz

why indeed

Infuriating to think that in just two months, Conde Nast's Vanity Fair hired Nuzzi while Conde Nast's Vogue absorbed and neutered Teen Vogue, laying off a number of talented writers who can write, and think, circles around Nuzzi.

license plate data merged with credit header data, marriage records, vehicle ownership, and voter registrations, in one app for ICE agents. oh and it sends push notifications when someone they're seeking is nearby. 🆒: www.404media.co/this-app-let...

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Was thrilled to help consult for this fantastic John Oliver segment on the tragic plight of U.S. public media and why, if we hope to be a democracy, we still need public media for so many things that commercial media will never provide. Deserves a wide viewership. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yknM...

just....enjoy this

"Lily Allen is so frank, so candid, so vulnerable, that it’s not enough to say she’s standing naked before us. We can see through her entirely—beneath her skin and into the depths of her soul. This isn’t TMI; this is MRI."

First, let's back up. Noem has starred in a sprawling ad campaign she’s said is a crucial tool to stem illegal immigration—so crucial that DHS bypassed the normal competitive bidding process, designed to prevent waste & corruption in federal contracts www.propublica.org/article/kris...

The fact that the American president’s former best friend is helping Russia blackmail the president should be a far bigger story than it is. It should be on the front page of every major news outlet

This is so moving, etc. Also, she is an opportunistic monster without a single internal value she wouldn't happily trade away for the smallest professional gain, so let's all enjoy this particular clown show while remembering that it is worth less than nothing.

I don’t talk about this that much but when I was young I had severe OCD that went unaddressed much longer than it should have. For a while, it wrecked (among other things) my gpa; for instance, I’d keep rewriting over and over my name at the top of my math homework (b/c the brain tells u it is…

Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

This book is terrific and incredibly timely right now for anyone wanting to learn better discipline at fighting for civil rights for all. You can’t be fully unaware of how much preparation went into the sit-ins and freedom riders and marches, but the gritty details are very illuminating herein.

At least five people, including faith leaders, were arrested Friday outside the Broadview ICE facility after scuffles erupted with Illinois State Troopers and Cook County sheriff’s police.
