The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Certain celebrity deaths are harder to process than others because the person in question was so full of life and creativity and originality that you just assume it's never going to end.

the performance I think of first when I think of her is THE YOUNG POPE

ah, fuck

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

Qatar gave Trump the luxury 747 that he wanted and now we are LETTING THEM BUILD A MILITARY BASE ON US SOIL

Dear Tilly Norwood: Some Blunt Advice, Actress to “Actress,” From Betty Gilpin The Emmy-nominated actor and author pens an open letter to the AI avatar that's got Hollywood in a tizzy.

This is exceptional: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Very wealthy people once again learn the hard way that there are still a few things in this world that can't be bought. A clean conscience, for example.

That (NPR!) journalists think AI is a creative engine that can finesse iconic productions is not just context for the crap quality of writing in media but alarmingly the inability among a class of supposedly professional scrutinizers to distinguish between art and slop, good and bad, truth and lie

I took this picture of Olga and László in London in 2018. Congrats to Krasznahorkai and his translators, including George Szirtes and @ottiliemulzet.bsky.social, and long live a Central Europe free of dictators (foreign and domestic) and full of magnificent minds like these!

Absolutely thrilled to hear this. Congratulations & I cannot wait to read.

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.

Essential, horrifying reading, and a testament to how vital local news is: southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

makes an absolutely huge difference. most schools really suck at this

I'm always the most impressed with the teenagers I work with who are eager to be edited and genuinely thirst for constructive feedback because they want to get better. if literal children can have this mindset so can grown-ass adults.

this is about books not journalism, but even so: I have had BAD editors and it absolutely sucks, but partly for that reason and the hollowing out of journalism... having a good editor is such a GIFT! how often have I had a bad editor or no editor at all! be grateful!!

Met most of my closest friends… so…

I’ll be covering this for @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social next month and I wish it were not so important or feel so scarily relevant. Preorder:

How Kevin Costner Lost Hollywood On-set brawls. Courtroom battles. Epic bombs. Why the world's most bankable cowboy is suddenly shooting blanks.

This is hair-raising on so many levels… www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

kinda sweet that bookshop.org's anti-prime sale overlaps with banned books week, which means today you can get free shipping PLUS 20% off their banned books list! bookshop.org/info/banned-...

They had to buy the Post, gut the newsroom, and restaff with reactionary grifters that don't deserve to carry their predecessors' dirty socks; that was the only way to remake the paper, because they were never gonna get through the front door on merit.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

This little twerp, who’s been there a few months, axed two of the lions of WaPo??

Fisher is an investigative champion and had been at The Post for 39 years. Hoffman had been there for 42, and he won a Pulitzer LAST YEAR.

David Frum, Douglas Murray Secretly Drafted Speeches for Israeli Ambassador Leaked emails from former Israeli UN Ambassador Ron Prosor show David Frum, Douglas Murray offering to write his speeches and a CNN producer fundraising for Israel’s Iron Dome during Israel’s 2014 war

Fascinating report just released by DropSite which reveals that David Frum, while working on a profile of an Israeli ambassador to the United Nations for the Atlantic, was also shadow-writing speeches for that same ambassador.

The Conservative Justices Don't Trust Any Science That Supports LGBTQ Kids States that want to facilitate discrimination against LGBTQ people have the Court's blessing. States that want to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination do not.

I've written my analysis of today's grim Supreme Court oral argument in the conversion therapy case:

As far as the Court's concerned, imaginary medical uncertainty gives states the authority to hurt queer kids, and takes away states' authority to protect them
