Israel is responsible for 85 of 124 journalist killings across the globe in 2024 — nearly 70% — the highest number by a single country in one year since CPJ began documenting this data more than three decades ago.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Long COVID is here to stay—even in children Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC, also known as long COVID) are complex, multisystem, long-lasting complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection that profoundly impact the daily life of those...

I just learned that the number of children in the U.S. navigating life with Long COVID exceeds that of the number of kids with asthma.

Wow.

TONIGHT — Just after 8:30pm tonight, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker shared that the Texas National Guard is being deployed to Chicago.

“This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States.”

This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza. All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers. We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir Al Balah. Our thoughts are with Omar’s family and colleagues at this tragic time. Omar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

How the world’s taste for soya is eating Brazil’s Amazon Cultivation of the crop has made a few wealthy but at a huge cost to untouched forest as it spreads across vast areas of former wilderness

The fact that this article on soy causing deforestation doesn't cover how all that soy is being used is a wild media failure. The vast majority (70-80%) is being fed to animals.

It's not the "world's taste for soya" it's the world's taste for meat.

Deafening Silence After Mormon Church Shooter Not A "Transgender Leftist" But A Trump Supporter The event is a case study in how shootings are covered in America.

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist.

No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men.

The silence is deafening.

The IMLS's Freedom Trucks Project Is Propaganda in Support of Historical Erasure: Book Censorship News, September 12, 2025 This week, the IMLS announced their Freedom Trucks initiative. It is blatant propaganda.

$14 million dollars allocated to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) was pushed through to the America 250 team to fund "Freedom Trucks"–propaganda telling a whitewashed version of history.

What's happening at IMLS is beyond budgetary concerns.

Used to be a week off could help re-regulate the nervous system but I don't think there is anything long enough or calm enough to re-regulate a nervous system of any humans who have an ounce of empathy in America.

‘Hell on earth’: immigrants held in new California detention facility beg for help Six people at a remote Ice facility in California City describe medical problems and filthy conditions, which operator CoreCivic denies

NEW: Six people detained in California’s newest + largest ICE facility speak out, saying they are confined in filthy cells, struggling to access basic medications, going hungry due to insufficient food, drinking dirty water, and faced with “military-like” staff.

“This place is built to break us”

republicans cheat. the least honorable people on earth

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Believing trans people exist is enough to label you as a terrorism supporter.

This is fucking horrifying.

Trump has ordered troops to Portland to fight residents who don’t like ICE deportations. There will be a mass protest response as the entire state sees this for what it is: a fascist military invasion.

Over 60 Lawmakers Launch Investigation Into Trump Administration’s Disappearances The Trump administration has disappeared thousands of people to countries they have no connection to.

Dozens of Democratic lawmakers announced they are investigating the Trump administration’s practice of disappearing immigrants to countries where they are not citizens, have no connections, and are at risk of being tortured.

I worked with raphi, who took this video, ~15 yrs ago at the gazette, a chain of free local newspapers that covered MD state as part of the washington post co. when bezos bought the washington post, he shuttered the gazette. raphi's the kind of journalist whose work we've been missing out on since.

The moment ICE agents threw a flash grenade at protesters at the Broadview facility today.

If you aren't keeping an eye on Broadview, you should be

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

Graph showing that South Dakota, Montana, and Idaho incarcerate women at a higher rate than El Salvador.

3 U.S. states incarcerate women at a higher rate than El Salvador – a country described as an authoritarian police state.

Is this how the U.S. "protects" women?

She managed to get a farmworker visa. Once in the U.S., she endured abuse. A Prism investigation reveals that women are routinely shut out of the H-2A program. Those who get in report doing non-agricultural labor and facing sexual violence and trafficking

I want to do a little breakdown of this investigation I published today for @prismreports.org about gender-based violence in the H-2A agricultural visa program.

Arrested because a white woman demanded he change the way he was sitting and when he didn’t, she complained to the conductor about his posture.

His posture.

Menstrual products can be a huge help, too! And are covered by FSA funds, in case you’re starting to think about use-it-or-loose-it season.
