The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
Save this. Share it. Spread the word.
My office officially launched a new portal with Governor Healey to report violence and unlawful ICE activity here in MA.
This will help us keep track of incidents for potential legal action, help us gather data, and connect victims with resources and support.
The corruption of the Trump Administration remains so massive while also being so obvious that people just don’t know what to do. If Kushner was merely shaking someone down for $5,000 using his govt role, there’d be an outcry. But do it for $5,000,000,000 and mostly there’s 🤷♂️

Murdering random Jews in response to Israeli state violence is violent antisemitism. It shouldn't be necessary to state that. And yet
this is just open and abject corruption, but the way U.S. journalism frames it you'd not really understand that there's anything untoward
I have not seen enough discussion today of how the Trump administration is holding synagogue security funds hostage, demanding that liberal Jews abandon their religious values and agree to collaborate with ICE and ban DEI if they want security funding. www.jta.org/2025/08/26/p...
This is ridiculously cliche at this point but the annual US Institute of Peace budget when I worked there was ~$35m. And we were required to justify every dollar.
IT'S TRUE
Far from it

That’s TODAY?
This is the most blasé admission of a war crime by a US president in history.
Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.
I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:
Documentary First They Came for My College goes inside the fight for academic freedom at Florida’s New College
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Two Toronto-area synagogues were damaged by gunfire late Friday and early Saturday, the third such shooting in the area in less than a week, according to the Canadian authorities. The police said no one was hurt.
You need 4 trays of basil. PESTO FOREVER!!!!
The footage shows that at one point an MPD officer asks Jackson and the DOGE lawyer if the USIP building is owned by the General Services Administration (which typically deals with the federal government’s real estate). “It’s a private building, and that’s why we need MPD,” Jackson says.
SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
We are at this stage of the Holocaust — in Ohio, which hasn’t gotten much attention recently.
“In Springfield, Ohio, some Americans have converted their basements and spare bedrooms into shelters for immigrant families who could be targeted in raids.”

He demanded that she send him nude pictures and bullied her into a relationship. This is called sexual harassment. It was not “an affair”. RESIGN NOW.
#OTD in 1933, Frances Perkins became the first woman in a U.S. president’s Cabinet. Her leadership helped create the New Deal and Social Security, leaving a lasting impact on workers' rights and economic justice. #TheMarchContinues
We need to fix this!!!
Latkes or hamantaschen?
Somehow, in despite 10 years of increasingly deranged behavior from Trump and co, they find creative new ways to surprise me with their depravity.
Stephen Miller would have cheered for Haman and meant it. #Purim
