I think it's really worth noting that this concentration camp was opened one month and three days ago.

This woman saw enough horror in that time to quit and tell the public what she saw.

Which suggests that it's not as bad as we think, or as bad as we can envision from her description—it's worse.

Welcome to TNR.

Why So Many Key Institutions Have Folded Rather Than Challenge Trump Yes, they’re under pressure. But maybe a lot of these leaders kinda like what Trump’s doing. Just remember: They were defeated once before.

In my first TNR piece, I explained why so many key institutions, including my former employer, The Washington Post, aren't as anti-Trump now as they were from 2017-2020. It's a story of self-interest, institutional change and frustration with movements on the left. newrepublic.com/article/1987...

Kenya HIV patients live in fear as US aid freeze strand drugs in warehouse The health clinic where Alice Okwirry collects her HIV medication in Kenya's capital Nairobi has been rationing supplies of antiretrovirals to one-month refills since the U.S. government froze foreign aid.

This story should dominate Kenyan headlines and TV. It is depraved. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

We think of the White House as a big mansion, but the point is it's not a palace. It's a house. It's modest, one of the smallest residences for a head of state. The east and west wings are deliberately minimal and unobtrusive. It's not Versailles or Buckingham. It symbolizes civic republicanism.

Headline from Harvard Crimson: "Harvard President Garber Tells Faculty He Is Not Considering a $500 Million Deal With Trump."

Text of story: Harvard prez Garber says report of a deal "was apparently leaked to the press by White House officials." NYT ran with it as a story.

Important details from this story:

1) Yet another news-break by student journalists (this time @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social) www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

2) Harvard saying "see you in court," not "let's make a deal."

3) Per Garber, WH/MAGA leaked news of a "deal." NYT then ran with it.

Say what you will about International Capital but are you not at least still a little surprised at how cowardly they’ve turned out to be? And all because there is one weird old drooling pervert dementia patient doing whatever he wants every single day? And fucking with their actual money too! I had been under the impression this entire time that that was one thing that you couldn’t do. I thought that they had Jasons Bourne available for scenarios much like this. Just one of the many ways in which International Capital has let me down.

The 9th district court affirmed what we already knew: you can’t just snatch people up for being brown and working hard. Not in the fields, not in a Home Depot parking lot, and NOT on our watch.

This is a victory for the many, and not by the few. 1/

A new ‘dossier’ reveals extensive pro-Israel bias among reporters, editors and executives at the ‘NYTimes’ New York Times reporters are supposed to follow a strict code of ethics to avoid even the appearance of bias. A new report shows how the paper ignores this when it comes to covering Palestine.

UFW organizers are out in the fields waiting to take access and speak to farm workers about the benefits of a union contract and steps to take if immigration is in the neighborhood. #WeFeedYou

Over 150 Jews and people of conscience are staging a sit-in at the offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand in New York City to demand that the U.S. stop starving Gaza immediately.

In some states. But not everywhere.

Does anybody believe there will be an authentic off-year election with an honest vote count?

I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today

THREAD: The New York Times just clarified something very important:

Israel isn’t starving healthy Palestinian babies.
Just the ones with pre-existing conditions.

Yes, really. 🧵

CA Border Patrol stops Judge says agents must have 'reasonable suspicion'

Example of how media fails to admit that Border Patrol agents are trained to violate people’s rights. The idea that federal agents need re-training on Constitutional rights ignores the fact that they are trained to ignore Constitutional rights of migrants. laist.com/brief/news/j...

Ms. Rachel grew up on Mister Rogers. Now she’s carrying on his legacy. The YouTube star wants her audiences — adults and children alike — to see the humanity of all people.

I am grateful to @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social for trusting me with her story at this moment of consequence, as she advocates for the children of Gaza and follows in the footsteps of her own childhood hero, Mister Rogers.

ICE smashed car windows in 50 cases in the first month of Trump’s 2nd term - versus 8 cases over the prior decade, per Propublica.

Staying in the car is seen as resisting arrest, even for pregnant women or scared kids, people with no criminal records.

Call / email Congress to investigate ICE!
