Headline could be more specific. "Elite" colleges are seeing lower Black admissions but they're going up at "safety" schools. As a Goucher alum I'm glad it's far more diverse than when I went there. But at the cost of fewer JHU Black admissions? Hm. Good that folks aren't giving up on college tho.

@bmorecitydot.bsky.social I truly appreciate your folks are working overtime to move the snow piles in freezing temps, but closing St Paul St during rush hour to do so? Couldn't have scheduled another street? Makes it harder for both DOT workers and commuters.

Really scary to see the patient went to Children's National emergency department

Bad Bunny wearing tinted dark red glasses with gold frames, hair gelled looking quite handsome! White shirt and tan tie.

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

I read the “SAVE Act” (the GOP’s new voter suppression bill) so you don’t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus it’s bad. 1/

Trump’s New Tax Law Saved Amazon Billions Breaks for investment and research lowered the company’s payments to the U.S. government.

Trump said he would fight for “forgotten Americans.” I didn’t know that meant Jeff Bezos.

Despite making $89.5 BILLION in profits last year, Amazon paid just 3.1% in taxes.

This is what Republicans’ SNAP & Medicaid cuts were for.

Guess that ‘Melania’ doc really paid off.

Public Health Workers Are Quitting Over Assignments to Guantánamo Doctors, nurses, and other officers are increasingly being deployed to ICE detention centers. Some have resigned in protest, while others offer a rare look into bleak conditions.

A growing number of U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) doctors, nurses, and officers are resigning rather than accepting deployments to the Trump administration’s expanded immigration detention operations at Guantánamo Bay. This story was published in partnership with @kffhealthnews.org.

Apropos of nothing, Marvel Fans: since #WonderMan showed "The Rookie" exists in the MCU, I can only assume #AgentCarter 's Dottie Underwood is immortal and currently masquerading as an actor named Bridget Regan.

This is deranged. Trump is threatening to deploy our military, blow up the NATO alliance, & spend billions all because he didn't win a prize.

This man has control of our nuclear arsenal.

At what point will Republicans join us to stop him from putting our nation in harm's way?

I just left the Venezuela briefing.

It's worse than you thought.

Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people.

We need public Senate hearings NOW.

How billionaires took over American politics The current concentration of wealth is unlike anything in history. So is billionaires’ involvement in politics.

$1 of every $13 poured into the 2024 elections came from the country's 100 richest people.

Trump is letting billionaires run the show and they want to further rig the system for themselves, against working people.

It time to End Citizens United. Pass campaign finance reform. Empower the PEOPLE.

The remains and stories of Native American students are being reclaimed from a Pennsylvania cemetery The latest round of exhumations of Native American students from a cemetery at the former Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania resulted in the remains of 17 students being repatriated to ...

For decades, our gov. kidnapped Native children as part of a campaign to erase their cultures and identities.

Now, the remains and stories of some of these children are being reclaimed.

But there's a "long, long road" ahead for Native communities still seeking truth, justice, and healing.

I’m One of the Clergy ICE Assaulted. They Treat Immigrants Worse I learned the hard way that my clerical collar doesn’t offer much protection from ICE. But immigrants have no protection at all.

"Christian leaders have an important role to play in resisting ICE."

"It is especially important for white religious leaders—like me—to use that privilege on behalf of those facing this immense campaign of cruelty." #LoveThyNeighbor

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem.

We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

When I was little I used to tell people I wanted to be a boy because I thought only boys got to choose what they wanted to be when they grew up. Then I saw Wonder Woman on my TV, leaping over all the barriers before her, and I knew I didn't have to change who I was to be whatever I wanted.

City officials urged some residents to leave the Remington area as Baltimore City firefighters are actively fighting a three-alarm fire at a commercial building.

A F/friend's husband, upon hearing the phrase, said he always imagined visualizing physically hugging/holding a person while both were bathed in Divine Light. That's my preferred interpretation

Yes, I know what today is. More on that soon. ❤️🤍💙

Chased a car because its tire was flat as a pancake and on the way to destroying the rims. I tried calling to driver, "You have a flat tire!" but think she thought I was asking her for money. Sad thing is I probably would've assumed same. How can we build a community where we can assume good faith?

On Friday night, Donald Trump held a Great Gatsby-inspired Halloween party themed "A little party never killed nobody.”

On Monday morning, the Trump administration told a judge it will only PARTIALLY fund SNAP and 40 million Americans should expect delays for food benefits.

The Trump Administration has been desperately shopping for faraway countries where they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia — all to deny him his constitutional rights here in America.

We cannot stand for it. He must be allowed to defend himself in court. My full statement:

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Forget Trump's lies. This is what No Kings Day is actually about.

Trump and his cronies have spread desperate lies about No Kings Day — calling peaceful participants "terrorists" and "criminals."

You know why? Because they want us to shut up and go away. That's how kings and dictators win. But we won't let them.

See you tomorrow. NO KINGS.

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...

Trump's agents have been snatching people off the streets without due process — and over 170 US citizens have been caught in the mix. Outrageous and unacceptable. The lawlessness must end.

Exclusive | Paramount Skydance Prepares Ellison-Backed Bid for Warner Bros. Discovery The bid will be for the entire company, including its cable networks and movie studio, according to people familiar with the situation.

Remember when Trump announced a multimillion-dollar secret deal with CEO David Ellison?

And then — shocker — Trump approved Ellison buying CBS/Paramount.

Now, Ellison wants to take over CNN/Warner Bros.

This media merger must be blocked as a dangerous concentration of power.
