The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

I absolutely believe this. If there is anything that I wish we could undo, it's the invention of partisan media. Let's go back to a day before Fox News (and MSNBC, to be fair). We'd be in a better place.

Very proud to have authored this brief with @dvegas24.bsky.social and the Bluesky-less Alyssa Stefanese Yates on the experiences of student-mothers of color drawing on data from two national studies of nearly 150 student-mothers

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

"It's you. It's you as well. Now, wake up.
Please watch what's happening here. Uh, l feel like we're performing CPR and what may already be a corpse called the Constitution."

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, β€œIt’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump β€” 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

If you're looking for a sign to switch careers: this is the sign.

With so much bad in the world, it's so lovely to see the new mayor of NYC bringing so much good.

Granted I’m biased but I actually don’t think that looking like a lesbian should justify summary executions.

Another shooting. The details will shift, the outrage will fade. That’s the danger. Repetition trains acceptance. A country doesn’t collapse at once…it gets conditioned to look away.

Kennedy Says He Told C.D.C. to Change Website’s Language on Autism and Vaccines

No single person, especially someone with zero expertise, should be able to just change the CDC website on a whim. The fact that federal health and science pages are no longer trustable is a catastrophe for public health and democracy.

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my day but perhaps my greatest regret is buying the dog that stuffed animal with the squeaker in it.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesdayβ€”less than 24 hours laterβ€”he was sworn in, with unofficial results.

So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Children's hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, whose detention sparked a community uproar and became a test of counterterrorism powers in immigration court, was released from an Ohio jail Friday as DHS abruptly withdrew its case against him.

β€œThis is beyond my dreams,” he told ProPublica.
