On Camera, Fed Agents Point Guns at Mother and Four Kids in Queens The agents came looking for a relative who no longer lived in the apartment, the shellshocked mother told THE CITY. Days later, her children are terrified to leave their parents' sides.

"I was trying to help my mom,” said 13-year-old Jayleane, shaking, as tears streamed down her cheeks. “I saw they were pulling her hair. They had the gun in front of me. I was scared.”

If I were sick, I would simply choose to be healthy. Bing bang boom bsky.app/profile/atru...

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?

I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me

Truly wild for Mamdani to have been treated as a plague carrier by the New York Democratic Establishment, but to have the same kind of Moderation Enjoyers hugging the antisemitic space laser representative because she's making some kind of selfish power play.

Justice Department Slashes Essential Services for Crime Victims After four decades of bipartisan progress, federal support for crime victims is unraveling.

Without warning, the Trump administration cut funding for groups that provide support to crime victims suffering profound physical, emotional, and financial harms. bit.ly/483zmiY

Teenagers are old enough to have sex with middle aged men. They are not old enough to be trans.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters

Basically, our national immigration policy exhibits the same male insecurity as a lifted Ford F-150 with an obnoxiously bright light bar, a coal-rolling switch, and truck balls

seems like a lot of effort just to protect bill clinton tbh

From the New York Times story on the pressure campaign to get Republicans to reverse their epstein vote Top officials met in the White House Situation Room on Wednesday with Representative Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican who is backing an effort to force a House vote on whether to demand the release of the files. She was summoned to sit down with top Justice Department and F.B.I. officials, according to two people familiar with the matter. One of the people said the session included Attorney General Pam Bondi and F.B.I. Director Kash Patel. Both people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment on the private discussions.

My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!)

According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

If Bluesky will suspend writers like Sarah Kendzior, then I have no use for this platform. It's less than useless.

Jeffries praised Schumer three separate times during the press conference he just gave.

Why we're using this spelling of Hawaiʻi You may notice a change in how we spell Hawaiʻi and other Native Hawaiian words at The Seattle Times. Here's why.

Kudos to the @seattletimes.com for spelling with diacritical marks used in the Hawaiian language, the ʻokina and the kahakō.

A few years ago, when I asked the NY Times to spell my affiliation as University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, they refused because it went against their style guide.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

WOW!! SPANKED! *Summary Judgement* for 20 States Against the DOT and Sean Duffy for Tying Grant Funds to States Helping ICE This is a brilliant, and *decisive*, win!  And, also as with so many other departments, the Court smacked the DOT down. And not just a smackdown, a genuine spanking! A *summary judgement*!

The 🍊🌮 regime took a spanking in another important court case today 👇

I appreciate your commitment to the “e”! I gave in on that one long ago, but I notice every time I write it (which is a staggering amount of times, lol) Good piece, thanks!

lotta colors and textured clouds over the Manhattan skyline

feeling sorry for all the millionaires and billionaires who didn’t get to see this perfect NYC sunset because they fled the city forever today. 😞

big night for dems, sure, but the real winners are the aloof wives quietly steering mayoral campaigns from behind the scenes

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

The license plate of Cuomo’s good luck truck reads “KMS,” for what it’s worth

It's going to take this kind of rivaled juice that only Zohran-types have to get past the combined forces of lawless morass of fused media and capital from now on, which is basically the dictionary definition of fascism. Dems have to pitch perfect games nonstop for several years.
