Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

DHS AI Surveillance Arsenal Grows as Agency Defies Courts A Department of Homeland Security AI inventory contains details on new tools used by ICE and border patrol agents in Trump's deportation campaign.

I took a close look at the latest Department of Homeland Security AI use case inventory, which details over 200 applications across DHS component agencies, including CBP and ICE. DHS is rapidly deploying these tools in US cities, while increasingly engaging in violence and defying court orders.

A lovely take on February and myth and Shakespeare…

We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

Ffs. We have to squash this as soon as.

If you break an introvert’s trust, they won’t feel comfortable with you. And once they don’t feel comfortable, they’ll slowly pull away. Introverts are very guarded with themselves, their feelings, and their inner world

Excellent!

Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”

Haley Robson, an Epstein victim on the unreleased files: "Noncompliance perpetuates the secrecy that let these crimes continue for years. We seek accountability, transparency & equal application of the law, just like Congress promised us through the Act."

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Guilt, the lack thereof, where does one draw the line?

Warning: this entry talks about violence and sexual abuse I've always had a difficult time sorting out guilt. Maybe it is my Roman Catholic upbringing (the Church does guilt so well...), or life experiences, but it's always a challenge teasing…

Call to Action: This Friday, Minnesota is being called to stand together in real, visible solidarity. Labor unions, faith leaders, and community organizers are urging people across the state to plan ahead and take part in a Minnesota Economic Blackout do not work, do not attend school, and do not

HHS Gave a $1.6 Million Grant to a Controversial Vaccine Study. These Emails Show How That Happened Two Danish researchers faced accusations of “questionable research practices” as RFK Jr.’s top appointees made their study a “funding priority.”

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark
