every single person in multiple cities who heard whistles & went running TOWARD danger with cameras to make sure there was just an unrelenting stream of actual evidence of what ICE was doing???

I can not say thank you enough. Seriously. Thousands of anonymous heroes who changed political reality.

Beware of false profits.‼️

So if Kamala Harris had been elected do you think the United States would be in a war with Iran? Just asking...

"Music would play, they tell me the days were sweet and clear
It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room that people could come from everywhere
There was a time when strangers were welcome here"

CNN has a solid, well-funded newsroom, regardless of the network’s editorial slant. a lot of good reporters will lose their jobs, and the public will lose all the stories they would’ve reported. and they are one of the last newsrooms to pay for costly but critical on the ground war correspondents.

Trump’s Epstein Scandal Takes Damning Turn as Dem Drops New Bombshell As new revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein saga threaten the president, a legal expert decodes what we just learned—and lays out a roadmap to what will happen now.

"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up."

If you want to understand latest Epstein revelations, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains them clearly on our pod:

Once again we are asking: Why was Kash Patel paid $25,000 by a company linked to the Russian government?

When a payment from a production company for $25,000 showed up on Kash Patel's disclosures during his confirmation hearing, we did some digging. And soon, the story began to unravel.

These words have probably become the most iconic quote associated with Dwayne McDuffie. They're from an interview I did with him way back in 2010. When I say #MilestoneMadeMe, this is what I'm talking about.

In a note embedded on top of an FAQ question, “What is the average length of stay for the aliens?” Tim Kaiser, the deputy chief of staff for US Citizenship and Immigration Services, asked David Venturella, a former GEO Group executive whom The Washington Post described as an adviser overseeing an ICE division that manages detention center contracts, to “Please confirm” that the average stay for the new mega detention centers would be 60 days. Venturella replied in a note that remained visible on the published document, “Ideally, I'd like to see a 30-day average for the Mega Center but 60 is fine.”

NEW: DHS left embedded comments in a PDF outlining its plans to warehouse immigrants, identifying the architects and laying bare the gross extent of its regulatory capture. Great scoop by @regret.bsky.social:

HUGE pop of applause for Greg Ketter of DreamHaven Books and Comics in Minneapolis, who went viral for the photo of him walking through tear gas and shouting at ICE.

One thing I've been thinking about a lot is Trump's mentions of the Border Patrol in his elevator announcement. A hostile force that proves the whole of DHS must be dismantled.

But they didn’t think it would apply to white people.

Hey Sarah, how does the “unfinished” hockey arena look ahead of the Gold Medal Game? Why isn’t the IOC categorizing the women’s game as “high demand” when the men’s is? And what’s the quick & dirty on Team USA v Canada - who’s the fave and are you nervous, excited or both?

Great questions!

Straight out of 1984.

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire is one of those historical events that I think everyone should have to study because it is SUPER DUPER RELEVANT to now and why we do, in fact, want regulations in every industry.

ICE wants to hold human beings in conditions designed for STORAGE. Not in our state. 
 
My colleagues and I just launched an initiative to oppose the Trump Administration's plan to treat people like cargo. Join our initiative: pallone.house.gov/stop-ice-warehouse.

Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

so, so happy for Mikaela Shiffrin

skiing is a brutal sport and while she is by any measure the GOAT she's had an incredibly rough time at the Olympics recently, especially 2022, and is recovering from a horrible accident last year

watching her finally get past her demons and dominate is amazing

Catching up on NYC history tidbits and learning about the lost Marble Arch of Central Park's south and, of course, the villain in this story is Robert Moses. Moses destroyed so, so much good in cities.

Miss America, Miss Universe. Isn't that a bit like Michael Vick owning a series of pet stores? It's a f-cking catch and release program for him.
