Look at her blaming everyone but herself. ACAB.

Exclusive: Hundreds at Alligator Alcatraz have no criminal charges, Miami Herald learns Descriptions of the Everglades detention center as a place for violent criminals tell only part of the story.

People who entered the US legally and have no criminal charges are being held in the Everglades camp, according to records obtained by the Miami Herald. Maybe that’s why the government won’t release the names of those being detained. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

THREAD. Something must be said about the New York Times. We are in the midst of a full-blown fascist takeover, and the NYT let one of its most dishonest reporters publish an article today full of misinformation arguing for massive new investments in police and surveillance.

The speedy trial of Ayla King—who uses they/them pronouns—resumes today, 19 months after it began.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kevin M. Farmer will preside over King's trial and the trials of their 60 codefendants.

The tech-fascists are disgusting pieces of shit.

Let's map their networks and organize to fight back. itsgoingdown.org/good-night-t...

Letter from Gaza: The Nakba We Are Living Through "I have now become a refugee twice over: once from our historic village of Barbara, and now from Jabaliya."

"The fourth Israeli invasion of Jabalia began on May 15—the 77th anniversary of the Nakba.[...] Since then, Israel has made sure that every Palestinian generation has tasted the bitterness of the Nakba, so we can never rest or live peacefully."

Trump sent 50 Venezuelans to prison in El Salvador. They were in the US legally. Trump administration says they're gang members in the US illegally. Available info says they entered legally, had no criminal charges.

Trump told us these people were so dangerous they couldn't afford due process to prove how dangerous they were. They had to go straight to the foreign concentration camp.

Turns out *at least* one in five of them *didn't even break US immigration law*

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology.

If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

When Republicans take power do they expand "viewpoint diversity"? No. They purge scientists, delete data and promote their own mediocre minds. If you support Trump you are signaling membership in a movement that *hates* science, science is not obligated to pretend otherwise.

More than 5 million student loan borrowers are in default. Education Department says they will be referred to debt collection The Trump administration's announcement marks an end to a period of leniency that began during the COVID-19 pandemic. No federal student loans have been referred for collection since March 2020, inclu...

"The Education Department will begin collection next month on student loans that are in default, including the garnishing of wages for potentially millions of borrowers, officials said"

THREAD. This is one of the more remarkable stories I have seen in my time studying state violence and working in law. But it's also an exercise in propaganda. And it's unbelievable how terrible the U.S. media coverage is. One thing in particular is important to see.

Atlanta City Council Meeting, April 21, 2025 live tweet thread.

Trying to not sound too technical or "whoa he just hit the bong" but like, Trump has access to many, many existing levers of power that enable this. Because we're talking multiple agencies, offices and people who all have to coordinate and take action to carry out these kidnappings and renditions.

a big factor in any CCP calculation right now is that the Chinese public is far more enthusiastic about fighting back in the trade war than the US public was about starting it.

Somehow the reasons for fetterman’s staff all quitting are infinitely worse than what I imagined. Incredible.

Long lines and canceled rentals: Firings bring chaos to national parks Trump’s purge of federal employees is already harming the visitor experience at national parks across the country.

"The Trump administration fired the only locksmith on staff on Friday...the sole employee with the keys and the institutional knowledge needed to rescue visitors from locked restrooms."

Most school districts have lots of kids who struggle with reading. This one is different. The third graders in Steubenville, Ohio, are among the best little readers in the nation. For nearly 20 years, 93% or more of them have scored proficient on state reading tests. In fact, the elementar...

Glad to see/read this. Reading intensive focus is the answer.

@dekalbcoschools.bsky.social ,thought it was brilliant to eliminate the numerous reading supports we had. Too busy wasting all our money on a new SI or crappy app every 2 years.

I've said for years that anti-Blackness, racism and white supremacy should be considered as misinformation / disinformation.

To study the history of race and journalism is to see that White supremacy was an effective disinformation campaign.

And through that, we got Jim Crow, a fascist system.

Sure looks like Google News caught the Latin Times using a large language model to write an article picking up on my latest report

A historically infamous telecommunications company sneakily tried to hit me w/ a $100 fee.

After asking 3 different customer support agents 3 different times- after a formal DENIAL of my request- I accumulated enough credits to cover the charge AND $20 off my next bill. 🙃

Voters Were Right About the Economy. The Data Was Wrong. Here’s why unemployment is higher, wages are lower and growth less robust than government statistics suggest.

Economics is a fake discipline and this country is a cruel joke.
