How 36 Mayan Women in Guatemala Came Together to Prosecute Their Attackers Systematically assaulted during Guatemala’s civil war, 36 Mayan women made a final bid for justice.

Astounding bravery on the part of the women and a very well-done and spartanly told story. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement.

Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime.

Read the linked piece below all the way to the end.

And remember, when these machines "hallucinate," they are not doing anything differently than when they get things right. Everything they say and produce is a hallucination. Any correct answers are purely accidental.

Under Texas’ Abortion Ban, Where a Woman Lives Can Determine Her Risk of Developing Sepsis While the rates of dangerous infections spiked across the state after it banned abortion in 2021, women in Houston fared far worse than those in Dallas, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind ana...

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Very, very important piece about a part of the CECOT story that's gone barely discussed. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Today @vanhollen.senate.gov was denied entry to the same prison.

Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

If you are National Guard or active duty military & you are ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of your fellow Americans, call the Gl Rights Hotline 1-877-447-4487
There is support, you don't have to go through with it.

This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail.

Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

If other Senators come to support Cory Booker and extend this effort indefinitely

Democrats can put a stop to Trump and Musk-at least temporarily

And that could save thousands of lives

THIS is the kind of fight we want from Democrats @schumer.senate.gov

If you can't do it

Get out of the way

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days.

At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months.

My dear friend’s niece, who in October developed sepsis when a Georgia hospital refused her a D&C after a miscarriage, will be taken off life support tomorrow.

I don’t know the names of the countless others who have suffered and will suffered because of anti-abortion laws.

But her name was Haley.

If there's one thing that domestic violence research has taught me, it's that abusers set up no-win scenarios. They punish you whether you cooperate with them or whether you push back.

The only way out is to strengthen ties with people outside of the relationship who can create new, better options.

Naomi Osaka Calls for Haiti Reparations from France: “Can Haiti Get Their Money Back?” Naomi Osaka flips the script on France with one powerful question about reparations:

France: Can we get the Statue of Liberty back?

Naomi Osaka: Can Haiti Get Its Money Back?

EXACTLY NAOMI. EXACTLY. #blacksky

they’re arresting people for performing abortions, they’re deporting people for liking pro-palestine posts on social media, they’re sending immigrants to forced labor camps in south america, we are living under fascism right now

You are a colossal disappointment

More of this!

Again, the Secretary of State has no authority to “revoke” green cards.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Some "Russian Warship" vibes here from a tiny fed'l agency.

I’m really not into the “FAFO” discourse when it comes to Trump voters.

Am I angry and sad that we are where we are? Yes.

But unless there is a correction, and *fast* we are *all* going down with the ship.

Energy should be going to helping people survive what’s coming.

“Have you said thank you once? Just say thank you” is what abusers say.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
