Last update: no detentions happened today from what we’ve observed and talked with organizers about.

Update: the Stockton Processing Center office has not yet successfully opened and four groups of families and individuals were turned away. We’re closely monitoring for any further updates.

Outside the Stockton Processing Center, a few folks were scheduled for a check in appointment after yesterday’s news of 25 people detained here. It’s unusual for this ERO facility to be opened and schedule check-in appointments. This is what the scene looks like right now. @motherjones.com

It’s day one since yesterday’s arrival of federal agents inside the Alameda Coast Guard island. We saw earlier this morning at 7:44 am, FBI and other security personnel examining the scene from last night’s incident. They have blocked and barricaded the only entrance and exit point into the island.

Footage shows tensions rising outside a Coast Guard base in Alameda, where federal agents are reportedly staging.

At 12:41 pm, California Highway Patrol officers starting coming in asking protesters to keep a lane open for traffic to come through.

At 8:00 am, we continued to see more protesters come and some of them even joined in to pray right before the U.S. government property line started.

A few minutes later, four SUVs and trucks with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents came in as protesters barred the entrance. One agent came out and stood in front of the island’s entrance as he started pointing and shooting his flash bang gun at protesters and journalists in the crowd.

Around 7:05, 20 US Coast Guard Security forces lined up at the front entrance as more protesters showed up peacefully walking back and forth the sidewalks all around the Dennison and Embarcadero East intersection and blocking the entrance and exit point of Coast Guard Island.

We’ve been here reporting with @motherjones.com outside the Alameda Coast Guard Island here in Alameda, California. My co-reporter Ellie and I have been here since 4 am. Early on, we noticed one protester standing in the middle of the road and a few media outlets posted up. One

We've got reporters and producers out in the field today as federal immigration agents start amassing in the Bay Area. Follow us for more updates.

Pope Francis died on Monday at 88. His papacy promoted inclusivity, embracing survivors of sexual abuse by clergy members; LGBTQ Catholics; Muslim and Orthodox clerics; and leaders of developing nations, where he believed the church’s future was rooted.

Hegseth Disclosed Secret War Plans in a Group Chat The conversation among the defense secretary and other national security officials on a commercial messaging app mistakenly included the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed war plans in a group chat that included the editor in chief of The Atlantic two hours before U.S. troops launched attacks against the Houthi militia in Yemen, the White House said. It was an extraordinary breach of U.S. national security intelligence.

How ‘Severance’ Uses Old Tricks to Make Its Office Hell Clocks, elevators and cubicles become dystopian signifiers in the television show, which invokes and inverts workplace cinema.

Clocks, elevators and cubicles become dystopian signifiers in "Severance," which invokes and inverts workplace cinema. Here are some of the ways the show uses classic film tricks to create its corporate hell. Spoilers ahead.

Trump's so-called "DEI Purges" are nothing more than racist bigotry. There's no other way to describe it. In his new video, @garrisonhayes.bsky.social tells the stories of Black military heroes Trump just wiped from history.

Caving to Trump's demands, Columbia University says it will ban mask-wearing Enforcing such an order while allowing exceptions for health can be a dicey matter.

New for @motherjones.com: Columbia University will be enacting a mask ban after caving into the Trump administration's demands. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk’s Demolition Crew Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has been unleashed on federal agencies. ProPublica is attempting to document who is working with him and what they are doing.

Over the past several weeks, ProPublica has identified dozens of people who worked for DOGE.

#ICYMI: We just added 20 names to our tracker, bringing the total to 66.

Here’s the real number of children receiving gender-affirming medical treatment New research reveals it's a fraction of a fraction.

Trump has devoted several minutes to attacking trans people

But only a fraction of a fraction of kids receive gender-affirming care, as @msjpauly.bsky.social reported. Why are R's so obsessed w/ an issue that affects such a small minority of Americans?

WCCUSD schools are losing students to charter schools at alarming rate, stressing district budget The West Contra Costa Unified School District is losing students, and state funding, to charter schools at an alarming rate.

Latest work from my incredible colleague @summermaxwell.bsky.social and I’s reporting on WCCUSD’s low public school enrollment rates and how it’s impacting families and students in Richmond, California. Here’s the thread:

Government agencies give conflicting guidance on Musk email An email sent to 2.3 million workers asking them to outline their work last week is leading to confusion and differing instructions across the government.

After Elon Musk led a move to email all 2.3 million government workers over the weekend asking them to share five bullet points detailing what they accomplished last week, chaos and confusion reigned.

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny
