Jeff Bezos systematically dismantled the Washington Post. Now, he’s looking to purchase Condé Nast and CNBC.

Paramount & CBS have bent the knee.

Tech billionaires are manipulating their platforms’ algorithms to favor fascists.

NPR & PBS have been defunded.

This is state propaganda in the making.

An American toddler in foster care, a mom in ICE detention A brief jail sentence turned into over four months in an immigration detention cell for the mother and an extended stay in foster care for son

"Mejia began trying to get her son back on 7/3, within hours of her release. She hoped it would happen in days. But at a 7/15 custody hearing, child welfare officials said Eliazar had bonded w/his foster family during her prolonged detention." Regaining custody of your own children can be a fight.

Two-thirds of the DOJ unit defending Trump policies in court have quit The U.S. Justice Department unit charged with defending against legal challenges to signature Trump administration policies - such as restricting birthright citizenship and slashing funding to Harvard University - has lost nearly two-thirds of its staff, according to a list seen by Reuters.

Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).

It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.

It has written majority opinions in only 3.

Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

It's a public service. Like the military. Yet no one considers the military's $850 billion budget a "net loss" even though it generates no revenue.

Just two weeks ago, Trump signed an executive order to expand apprenticeships "to fill the growing demand for skilled trades and other occupations."

This week, DOGE quietly killed millions in Labor Dept grants that do exactly that by getting more women into jobs like construction & manufacturing.

A Mother and Father Were Deported Under Trump. But What Happened to Their Daughter? The Trump administration sent the mother of a 2-year-old to Venezuela and the father to a Salvadoran prison. Their daughter remains somewhere in the United States.

This is fucking barbaric. We must, collectively, ensure this child is well cared for and reunited with her parents. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/w...

Trump is betting the American people hate illegal immigrants more than the hate a dictator taking over their country and shredding the Constitution. I think he has miscalculated. (I also realize he doesn’t really care what the American people think. Just making a point.)

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

Everything about this administration is best understood as if evil and incompetence are in a foot race www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/b...

There is a 19yr old who they intentionally deported to the world’s worst prison even though they knew he was not on the list.

The Constitutional Crisis Is Here Trump’s administration is only pretending to comply with the Supreme Court on the matter of a Maryland man it deported erroneously.

The President of the United States is calling for banishing American citizens to foreign prisons. When the Supreme Court says no, he carries on anyway. This is it. This is the Constitutional crisis. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

The men disappeared to El Salvador because of their tattoos The Trump administration sent Venezuelans to El Salvador’s most infamous prison. Their families are looking for answers.

NEW: We spoke with friends, family members, and lawyers of ten men sent to an infamous Salvadoran prison by the Trump administration. All reject that their loved ones are gang members.

Instead, they say: The US is disappearing people, without due process, to a mega-prison because of their tattoos.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY

Trump adviser Alina Habba says veterans fired by DOGE are perhaps 'not fit to have a job at this moment' Emily Erroa, an Army veteran who was fired from the Department of Energy last month, called Habba's comments "ridiculous" and "insulting."

We used to boycott South Africa for apartheid.

The main beneficiaries of the Department of Education are disabled kids (IDEA) and working-class and poor Americans (Title I, Pell Grants, work assistance), so of course Trump wants to do away with it.

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person.
