The disturbing reports on the Trump administration’s changes to what constitutes “hate incidents” are dangerous — and similar to what they are doing at our National Parks. It is shameful, and every American should denounce it.

Jamal Khashoggi came from a prominent Saudi family but fled his country in June, 2017, after he'd become increasingly critical of his government. The Saudi journalist was murdered in 2018. n.pr/43JW7WJ

Kelly: "My family has suffered from political violence. My wife, Gabby, was nearly assassinated, shot in the head at a political event. Even the president -- 2 assassination attempts -- he should understand his words have significant weight and people react to things that he says."

BREAKING: Federal prosecutors said today they went to a grand jury twice to indict a D.C. woman for assaulting an FBI agent during an arrest by ICE — and were twice rejected. Notably, she faces the same charge as the District's alleged sandwich thrower. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Donald Trump proudly declared he had ended taxes on Social Security while speaking Thursday from the Oval Office, only to be contradicted by his own aide moments later. He has repeatedly claimed that he ended taxes on the benefits program for seniors,but that www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

“To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious, is to be in a rage almost all the time. So that the first problem is how to control that rage so that it won’t destroy you.” — James Baldwin

Rep Jolanda Jones BRINGS IT! bsky.app/profile/char...

🔥 “Respectfully, he’s making up some shit.” Rep. jolanda jones, a lawyer, says Gov. Abbott threatening House @texasdemocrats.bsky.social with felonies is “smoke and mirrors”

Protect Rep. Jolanda Jones at all cost. Part 2:

⚡️JUST NOW: Bomb threat at Texas Dems hotel Rep. Jolanda Jones: “This is what bullies do. They’re not going to scare us.”

ICE doesn't even have a detention center in Hawaii. The men have been put in a federal prison there. Very far from home, and presumably their lawyers. Via @missionlocal.org

Dick Allen is a Hall of Famer, and @jaysonst.bsky.social wrote about a day that was personal to many — including Delaware Valley kids of a certain generation: www.nytimes.com/athletic/651...

Before ICE took him, this is who he was. A fun and loving family man who enjoyed time with us; nothing else mattered.

Totally not a cult.

We're not mind readers but...

She was out on her PM walk—returned to see 5 patrol cars outside. Instead of submitting to I.C.E., she entered my complex across the street and banged on my door—I’d given her my front gate code, for emergencies. This is precisely the type of emergency I envisioned, offering access to my home.

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

Lack of Pathos and receipts are why the facts have been dismissed. Ergo - fake news or I tell you what the truth is as I tell a easily verifiable lie

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity. There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

Since the spring, federal agents have been patrolling government buildings in New York City, waiting to arrest migrants as soon as they step out of a courtroom, regardless of the status of their case.

We stand by our founding principles in this Commonwealth: That all people deserve respect as human beings and all people should be able to live their lives proudly. We’ve got your back, Pennsylvania. Today and everyday.

I don’t care nothing about your talking points. If you’re out here trying to justify letting kids starve to death, then I say this with all disrespect f*** you. #Gaza

The U.S. is imploding, literally dissolving its democratic mechanisms—in a public way. Yet, Black people are and will continue to thrive. How? We take care of each other. All Black people know each other—even, perhaps especially if we’ve never met. It’s an innate safety mechanism we all utilize.

To former prosecutors, everything about the Justice Dept. interview with Ghislaine Maxwell looked unorthodox www.cbsnews.com/news/to-form...

Monte Mader @montemader.bsky.social "Not on my page… not here #education #history #exvangelical #deconstruction"

“He always looks like he just saw the Epstein files”

Is NOBODY going to call DoJ's Todd Blanche "questioning" Ghislaine Maxwell what it actually is - WITNESS TAMPERING? Really, not one person?

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

Wage growth among Americans has slowed considerably in the first half of 2025 as inflation has begun trending upward.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

This is what you voted for⁉️ Detainees treated like violent criminals. Moved from cage to cage at 3 a.m. and sleep-deprived. Only 3 minutes to eat. Bathrooms three times a week. No towel to dry off after a shower and growing fungus on their bodies. Listen to this once. Then listen to it again.

Tulsi Gabbard is trying to gaslight you in the name of authoritarianism, points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

July 18: If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide. If you have a dummy, that could happen. July 25: A weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money. It doesn't sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar than with a strong dollar

The babies who were conceived during the famine and whose mothers were undernourished while their brains were being built—those brains were smaller. When those people were adults, their brains were wired in a different way.
