DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.

Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.

This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

For the visual learners…

that account should be blocked. it keeps mass posting things stolen wholesale from other accounts. really egregious. BLOCK.

at robertscotthorton is a bad poster. steals content, and posts misinformation full stop.

guys, reminder, this is bluesky. we mass block bad actor misinfo swill merchants like this instead of endlessly discussing them and quoting them and replying to them.

Yup! already did!

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

‘He gave me my wings’: Jesse Jackson opened doors for Black women in politics Jackson, who died Tuesday, worked to diversify the electorate and brought Black women into Democratic politics who ascended to positions of power.

Spent today talking to just a few of the Black women who credit Jesse Jackson with their start in national politics. By inviting them in, he ensured they would help shape democracy for years to come. My latest on the coalition he built as part of his towering legacy: 19thnews.org/2026/02/jess...

i feel like if you aren't morally void right now, you are going to be called an "activist."

How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention A 9-year-old shares her story of being held at the nation’s only operating detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

Imagine being a child, thinking you're going to the "Most Magical Place on Earth" ...and instead you and your mom end up in “Dilleylandia”: www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

The ‘Antifa Scare’ Goes on Trial in North Texas As nine of the "Prairieland 19" face their days in court, the broader constitutional rights of left-wing activists may hang in the balance.

Trump wants to prosecute anti-fascists as terrorists. This Texas trial will test his power. A July 4 shooting at an ICE detention center could change the way the federal government prosecutes activists.

Hope you'll read my report the upcoming trial — I'll be watching closely. www.ms.now/news/antifa-...

As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates.

First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Yes, it works well to call out the stupid stuff, but not call the person stupid.

If you say "hey, you're too smart to fall for that stupid nonsense," it gives them a good out. And it's not a personal attack.

I mean, that’s not bullying. Bullying is cruel, and based on power and domination.

This is responding honestly, accurately, and appropriately. Yes it has social weight, but it’s not bullying. Bullying bad, appropriate condemnation good.

It’s been warm humans. If you weigh more than this bird, stay off the ice 🌊🌊

It's already in my queue!

It's Vitamin K, which helps blood clot. Parents are refusing it because "it's a shot" and they don't know enough about human health to understand how to take care of a child.

Nothing that can help regular people is possible. Everything that can hurt regular people is easy to do. This is basically how most politicians act right now.

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

Complaining that following the Constitution will stop you from doing the thing you want to do is... an admission that what you want to do is unconstitutional.

You swore an oath to defend the Constitution. You are violating that oath, Rep. Alford. Time to go home and let someone else do the job.

I literally saw a post two weeks back in which a guy with two jobs was flagellating himself because he was short on rent, lamenting that had he donated plasma more, maybe his rent would be on time. This system is deeply fucked. Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.

Sen. Jacky Rosen is introducing a resolution today that would force senators to go on the record over whether Trump should grant clemency to Ghislaine Maxwell.

Don't email a paedophile It's a slippery slope!

In the New Statesman this morning, I tackle an odd subgenre of Epstein coverage that's become more and more prevalent: breathless warnings that we're on a slippery slope to mob rule when we ask awkward questions of the world's most powerful people.

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title…

“How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work”

Way to devalue my experience.

YouTube video by ProPublica What Really Happened When USAID Was Cut

An American-made hunger crisis. A worsening cholera epidemic.

Our reporters journeyed to some of the places most devastated by Trump’s dismantling of foreign aid.

They spoke to hundreds of people who witnessed and experienced how political appointees cut programs in arbitrary ways:

Even Grok acknowledges that the so-called “Save America Act” (backed by Trump & Musk) may undermine the security of our elections by creating a Single Point of Attack for voter roll maintenance via the Save Program, which links to an SSA database mishandled by DOGE. #NoOnSave #ProtectOurVotes 1/

What You Need to Know About the SAVE Act

The SAVE Act is bad. While lots of people are talking about the ID portion, It creates a criminal cause of action to put election workers in prison for (even accidentally) registering someone to vote without ID.

I want to remind folks of something that’s still raw for me. After the 2024 loss, most Dems in Congress went quiet. You remember the silence. It was deafening.

Jasmine Crockett did the opposite. She stepped up early, got loud, and was never afraid to take on Trump.
