Sewickley father detained by ICE as 6-year-old daughter begins cancer treatment His arrest came just two days before his 6-year-old daughter, Maria, began treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma.

ICE abducted a father of a six-year-old who is undergoing cancer treatment in a suburb outside Pittsburgh on Sunday and took him to a detention center in West Virginia.

The cruelty is boundless.

Bezos burning the Washington post to the ground is as firm a reason for the continued bbc licence as ever there was. Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.

So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

Trump’s Peace Board Faces Rewrite Calls After Messy Start US President Donald Trump’s proposed Board of Peace has got off to a rough start: questioned by Europe, criticized by Israel and celebrated by friends of the Kremlin.

It’s actually three guys but they’re all Peter Sellers

The end of King of Comedy only it’s the president hosting a canceled Kennedy Center show making jokes and almost impossibly racist tangents to a gallery of rictus grins of uncertain provenance, the show never starts because every performer bailed, he just keeps going, perfectly content

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

The way to understand the second Trump administration is as a content generation machine. They aren’t implementing fascism, they’re creating fascism-flavored content. They aren’t implementing real policy, they’re signing executive orders to post about them. Anything that gets attention is the goal.

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's resigning from Congress — effective January 5, 2026.

Federal officers pepper ball protestors at Portland ICE facility just now.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

This is your sign to see One Battle After Another.

I've been saying since the day Trump got elected: Project 2025 is a bad attempt at Nazi Germany, but it most closely resembles Brezhnev's stagnation era USSR. In...well...almost everything.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

I'm not going to reskeet the skeet that made me feel the need to say this but: NYC is a very Jewish city - public schools are closed for Yom Kippur. It's also a very Muslim city - public schools are closed for Ramadan. It's also one of the most Catholic cities in the nation.

'The Onion' CEO on That Brutal 'New York Times' Op-Ed: 'Expect Us in Weird Places' Ben Collins has overseen the comeback of a print edition of 'The Onion' over the past year and pledges that it will continue taking big swings

"We’re hitting the gas pedal here, and think it’s working. Hopefully they should be showing up in the mailboxes of every single congressperson."

“One Big, Beautiful Bill” Has More Provisions That Violate the Byrd Rule, According to Senate Parliamentarian | U.S. Senate Committee On The Budget The Official U.S. Senate Committee On The Budget

Wow. Fourth batch of Byrd droppings is out - Dem staff absolutely dominated the HSGAC fight

We won on reorg & bonuses for cost cutters ofc, but also on at-will, filing fees, and USPS green vehicles & infrastructure sales

Seriously, major praise to the D staff

Will share this here now: due to some budget struggles at ISD, my position there is getting phased out. I’ll be on the hunt for full time work again come July. Not sure what the future will hold for me in the short-term, but please keep me in mind if you see decent openings and/or freelance work.

A photo of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and the text of 6 rights that are in the post.

We've fallen so far short of FDR's 2nd Bill of Rights. How does a sitting President in 1944 seem radical?

- The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the Nation;

- The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;

Still of Last Week Tonight. John Oliver is talking about an Oct. 8, 2021 ProPublica/WPLN investigation titled "Black Children Were Jailed for a Crime That Doesn't Exist. Almost Nothing Happened to the Adults in Charge."

The new @lastweektonight.com piece on juvenile incarceration featured several @ProPublica stories.

First up was our 2021 investigation with @wpln.bsky.social about young Black kids in Tennessee jailed for a crime that doesn't exist:

I'm pouring over the details of the reconciliation bill and its potentially apocalyptic effects on higher education for a short piece - it really is a five alarm fire. They're going to overhaul the student loan infrastructure as a means of anti-intellectual, resegregationist social engineering.

Public radio is vital for Floridians during Hurricane Season.

President Trump's authoritarian proposal to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting would cut off my neighbors from the news when they need it the most, all because he is scared of bad press.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Colonial extraction and unequal exchange have shaped two centuries of North-South inequality.

Everyone contributes to the movement in the ways they see fit. Some get teargassed and shot with rubber bullets by rampaging cops, others offer notes online re: how the people getting gassed/shot might seem less deserving of getting gassed/shot to the general public. It's a coalition.

The country would be immeasurably better off if the NYT permanently replaced David Brooks with this guy.
