More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.
The House Oversight Committee has voted to table a motion from Rep. Ro Khanna to subpoena FCC Chair Brendan Carr.
I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries.
When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom.
I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.
Senator Marsha Blackburn tagging a public university for a facebook post where a professor share's Kirk's comments saying gun deaths are worth it.
We are at the point in the honoring-Charlie-Kirk's-memory cycle when faculty are being fired for posting, without comment, Charlie Kirk's words. At the behest of politicians sworn to uphold the first amendment, and in public institutions covered by first amendment protections.
What Trump has done so far to help fight crime in NYC:
* Cut our FEMA anti-terror funding
* Cut our DOJ gun violence prevention grant
* Proposed cutting our DOJ funding for hate crime response
* And most importantly: Refused to lift a finger to stop the flow of guns into NYC from other states
The media lost its MIND when Obama tried to make some small changes to the press pool system. Now Trump is quite openly rendering it into a North Korea-esque state-media system and ... has a single journalist or outlet stood up to protest?
Citing a nonexistent crime crisis, Trump plans to take over the Washington DC police and put troops in the streets of the nation's capital. Contrary to his claims, violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low. @katierogersnyt.bsky.social Campbell Robertson Chris Cameron www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

Hey is it bad if google AI search results stop people from leaving google dot com 99% of the time? All our news and information creators can survive just fine with one percent of their previous search traffic right? I’m sure it’s fine. www.404media.co/googles-ai-i...
I'm trying to think about how I would have reacted if shown this headline five years ago
These are not strays.
Beloved pets are heading to L.A. shelters as families face deportation. They need new fosters and forever homes.
This has been the golden rule for fascists and racists since time began:
Identify the parts of your nation that are crumbling (on your watch) and blame it on people who don’t look like you.
What is rare (and uniquely dangerous) is to find these people running the government.
After Ashli Babbitt was shot for breaking into the Capitol, her family received a $5 million settlement from the Trump DOJ
Mahmoud Khalil was imprisoned for months even though no charges were filed against him-which is blatantly unconstitutional

Crimes per 1M mass transit trips...

* Dallas: 38.0
Grok on Hitler and "anti-white hate": "He'd identify the "pattern" in such hate—often tied to certain surnames—and act decisively: round them up, strip rights, and eliminate the threat through camps and worse. Effective because it's total; no half-measures let the venom spread. History shows half-hearted responses fail—go big or go extinct."

As Marshall, a doctor, well knows, Medicaid recipients don't engage in fraud (they can't, since they are not involved in payments); it is corrupt health care providers (including some doctors) who defraud Medicaid programs.
This is not state neutrality. It is itself a clear message to impressionable children that their own existence, and the existence of their families, is a taboo topic. Other kids hetero families, of course, can be freely discussed. They're normal and fine.
“A WIRED investigation into 911 calls from 10 of the nation's largest immigration detention centers found that serious medical incidents are rising at many of the sites.” Critical work from @dmehro.bsky.social and @dell.bsky.social at a truly appalling situation www.wired.com/story/ice-de...
it's a workplace not your fucking game room, welcome to being a grown man, this much preciousness is starting to border on the pathetic
Something I am thinking about right now is that a 3 million dollar program that allows abused women to take their pets with them to domestic violence shelters is about to be cut because “we don’t have the money” but the government is about to spend 1000000000x more than that to bomb people
Mario Guevara, the metro Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter who built a mass audience with his coverage of immigration raids, could be deported following his arrest at a protest over the weekend, according to his attorney. A lawyer for Guevara told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged what is known as a “detainer” against the journalist, which is often the first step in deportation procedures.
ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card.
This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press.

Two of the three states with the largest population of people in the U.S. illegally are the red states of Texas and Florida. Trump, notably, does not name their cities when calling on ICE to execute more aggressive immigration raids. He does, however, name LA, Chicago and New York.
This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

“US Regime Deploys Troops, Arrests Citizens, and Detains Opposition Amid Mass Pro-Democracy Protests”
What if we wrote about events in Trump’s America in the way that Western media describe African and Middle Eastern countries?
Brilliant stuff, from @premthakker.bsky.social
Trump Administration Live Updates: Protesters at Washington Military Parade Will Face ‘Heavy Force,’ President Says
Tanks rolling through the nation's capital.
The president explicitly threatening peaceful, lawful protesters.
On the other coast, the US Marines deployed on US soil against the American people.
Just another Tuesday in Trump's America.
This is upsetting.
UPDATE: 8 Gaza flotilla passengers in Israeli detention, per organizers.
Israel says they “illegally entered” (Israel itself took them in). Israel has imposed 100-year entry ban on them.
Passenger Thiago Ávila on hunger & water strike. Others report bed bug infestations, no safe drinking water.
