When Sleeping Is a Crime With a new executive order and model state legislation criminalizing homelessness, the richest people in the U.S. are making it easier to lock up the poorest.

A man was charged with trespassing in New Haven, CT, on the very spot that the state Department of Correction had dropped him off when he finished serving a prison sentence. This is reality in a country where homelessness is criminalized, and it's getting worse, as Colleen Shaddox reports:

After his family's deportation, teen becomes a lifeline for sister recovering from a brain tumor The 18-year-old works two jobs to be able to send his sister her lifesaving medication. His deported parents hope they can return with his siblings on humanitarian parole.

Every two weeks, an 18-year-old in Texas buys lifesaving medication for his 11-year-old sister and sends it to Mexico.

He has been doing this since authorities removed his five siblings from the U.S. — four of whom are U.S. citizens including his sister, who is recovering from a rare brain tumor.

A reminder for those who think the war or genocide started on October 7.

It's been exactly 25 years since this photo was taken 🇵🇸

Re DC: In San Francisco, we are quite familiar with manufactured crime panics. Democratic voters here recalled the district attorney despite historically low crime rates.

Never underestimate the power of anecdote-driven panic + right-wing propaganda.

The Chesa Boudin Recall strategy goes national.

Here’s a challenge: Name one other country or organization on the planet, that is not a designated terrorist organization, that would strike a tent full of journalists outside a hospital…

Israel has assassinated five more Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza, killing them in an airstrike Sunday targeting a media tent outside Al-Shifa Hospital. Among the dead is veteran correspondent Anas al-Sharif, who reported extensively from northern Gaza since October 2023.

One of our very first pieces at Bolts was about DC's "Second Look" reform: this meant that some youth serving life without parole ended up being freed, decades into their prison sentence.

This is a key part of what Trump is attacking today, so I invite you to revisit our coverage:

Really interesting to watch the journalists fall into the 2 camps of "will do journalism" and "want to keep job."

Anas al-Sharif, prominent Al Jazeera correspondent, among five journalists killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital

Just utterly out of words to describe what we’re seeing.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Just 10 members of Congress have even dared to call Israel's mass murder in Gaza a genocide. Meanwhile, they're straight up murdering journalists. The gulf between what's happening and what most of our leaders will acknowledge is so remarkably vast.

“One pharma company "is banking on a continuing decline in vaccination rates to fuel a need for measles treatments—and in turn, more investor interest"

Greed over public safety-does RFK Jr have shares in this unnamed pharma company? Curious minds want to know.

BBC, Reuters, CNN, almost all Western media are STILL using passive voice in attributing who is doing genocide & mass starvation.
They are still lying & calling 200 assassinated journalists on the ground reporting facts daily to be ‘terrorists’.
The racist colonizer monsters should burn to hell

Understand that Israel assassinated Anas Al-Sharif after approving the plan to invade Gaza City.

They knew he would not leave the city and would cover the assault and killed him ahead of it. Let’s just be very clear here.

A group of journalists from Al Jazeera carry the shrouded body of their dead colleague on a stretcher.

They couldn’t silence their stories.

So they just killed them.

Israel never comes back from this.

they are murdering the people who tell the truth.

OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models Experts working to benchmark resource use of AI models say new version’s enhanced capabilities come at a steep cost

No secret that the reason companies like OpenAI intentionally hide their energy and environment metrics is because they look very, very, very, very bad and the company is more valuable if the damage they do is kept secret

An AI picture of someone working at computer wearing earbuds and outside of their window is a beefy looking guy with a chipped jowl and a shirt that says Union on it. The text says learn about Sacramento's latest attack on worker freedom

The industry using AI ads to rally against unions is really packing it in and representatives should vote against them because it's obvious they're packing it in and just plan to run a referendum with their infinite cash. #CALeg

Anas al-Sharif among five Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel in Gaza Al Jazeera staff killed in targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists near al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza City.

I do not find this on home pages of the NYT, WaPo, WSJ; only a small headline on The Guardian. A journalist has been murdered. Where is the outrage--about anything?

The Israeli military just killed him.

(Look at the photo caption)

“Maybe the world won’t act, maybe the world won’t help us but there might be a motive to stop this war—every time I document a massacre or event or bombing, I think that maybe through this bombing or this image that the war could stop and this war would end...”

“…especially for Cubans.”

Can some intrepid report find Secy Marco Rubio and ask how he feels about this treatment of Cuban migrants?

Israeli army spokesperson Avichai Adraee recently re-shared a video falsely accusing al-Sharif of being a member of Hamas’s military wing. They continue to murder journalists for telling the truth.

Landlords Commit $2.5 Million to Help Cuomo's Mayoral Campaign The money, the largest example of outside spending by a single donor in the New York City mayor's race, will go toward campaign ads on Andrew M. Cuomo's behalf.

When you see Cuomo attacking Mamdani over his rent stabilized one bedroom in Queens, do recall this please:

How is the CDC literally getting SHOT UP — arguably due to the platforming of misinformation by federal leaders— not bigger news?

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

I will say it again.

One of the reasons FDR was the way he was is because he had zero faith that the american ruling class was devoted enough to american democracy to be trusted to preserve it.

The fact that Trans service members who are forced to leave the military are being denied early retirement pension if they are 15-19 years in, is angering and should anger all Americans.

Meanwhile the draft dodging fat-assed douche canoe clown balls of a President dodged the draft.
