We are seeing dozens of these videos every day. It's happening all over the ocuntry. I know many people are outraged but it's just continuing unabated.

This feeling of impotence is devastating. How does it end? With the country emptied of brown people and dissidents in jail?

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Neighbor shielded 7-year-old during South Shore federal raid: ‘I didn’t want them to take her’ During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Japan’s flu season hits 5 weeks early amid fears of an evolving virus The government has declared a nationwide flu epidemic, prompting calls for vaccinations and heightened vigilance.

"Such an early and rapid spread suggests the influenza virus is adapting at an unprecedented pace. But this trend is not limited to Japan..."

The rain has soaked through everything. Your socks just sprouted a mushroom. You haven't smelled decent BBQ since your last night in Texas, before mustering. Suddenly, a metallic creak echoes through the fog. They were coming again. The naked cyclists. "Just four weeks a year," you mutter.

I have no idea how this plays out, but it seems to me if you have Texas Natl Guard attacking citizens in Illinois and the Illinois Natl Guard intervenes to protect citizens then you've effectively started a war between two states?

Waukegan mayor intervenes after Border Patrol arrest of woman turns physical outside Waukegan City Hall The Waukegan mayor intervened after U.S. Border Patrol agents forcefully arrested a woman, who is reportedly an American citizen, outside of the Waukegan City Hall Monday afternoon.

JD Vance: "That's the most important part. There were also the Trump 2028 hats, which I think made the minority leader in both the House and Senate very uncomfortable."

Trump directs defense secretary to deploy troops to Portland In a post on Truth Social, the president said he was authorizing the use of "full force" to protect ICE facilities in Portland, Oregon, if necessary.

So that guff about massing troops to war-torn Portland and "authorizing full force" - it seems he didn't run it by the Pentagon at all.

"Pentagon officials appeared to be surprised by the Truth Social post and told NBC News they were not aware of any new orders to send troops into Portland."

It's not just this year's crop. We need to decide what we want to grow next year right now, too.

I posted this 13 hours ago, and all four of these stories have been subsumed by stories of equal or greater absurdity.

Men’s rights don’t vary state by state. Only women’s do.

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

This is amazing.

Kids who are bullied by their peers are frequently also being neglected by the adults in their life-- or bullied by them as well.

Many (many) survivors' biggest obstacle to sustainable trauma recovery is refusing to acknowledge the impact of childhood bullying & neglect.

The road to Trump’s Project 2025 fascism is lined with smiling people telling you to stop overreacting.

I just spoke to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander as he left police custody following his arrest at immigration court. Here’s what he said:

Republicans are tougher on comedians than they are on pedophiles and rapists.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.

This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

The ultimate goal of CPTSD recovery isn't "forgetting" anything. It's creating enough safety & skill that we're not controlled or destroyed by what we do remember.

People who tell us to "move on" or "let it go" or "forget the past" profoundly misunderstand this "recovery" thing.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Black graphic with a quote in white text: "We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." In red text, the quote is attributed to Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Dissenting in Noem v. Perdomo

Yesterday's Supreme Court decision endangers our communities and subjects people to immigration stops simply because of the color of their skin, occupation, or the language they speak.

This fight isn't over. Our right to live free from racial profiling is fundamental.
