Most of the World Cup games were in blue cities. Thousands of complimentary videos. An amazing event handled incredibly well. Not a word from Dems taking a victory lap

Yesterday, a judge ruled the Trump admin can’t use an obscure agency priorities clause to make billions in funding cuts, a big win after it sought to use the clause to cancel current and future grants for everything from crime prevention and food security to scientific research

558 people have been charged with assaulting ICE agents. Of those, 95 cases are pending, 246 people have pleaded guilty, and just 4 have been convicted. Meanwhile, 191 cases have been dismissed and 22 have been acquitted. That means about 1 in 3 cases end with a court dropping the charges.

No one has any idea why this is the biggest outbreak on record?

“Based on simple math, these outbreak responses—which require rapid, timely responses—are going to be greatly diminished,” the former CDC lab director tells WIRED. www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

It’s convenient for both ICE and the facilities when they die during transport.

An immigrant from an African country broke election laws and tried to interfere with an election in the United States. Yet this administration looks the other way. I wonder why

Elon Musk likely broke Wisconsin election law by offering $1 million to voters before last year's state Supreme Court election, a bipartisan panel has found. https://cnn.it/4x3c5Yn

I have been saying this constantly over the past few years - Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. We need to establish consequences for that behavior in every aspect of society.

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

This morning at 26 Federal Plaza, I'm relieved to report that I saw no ICE agents roaming the halls & no abductions. On Monday, a federal judge confirmed what we’ve said for a year: ICE's arrests in NYC immigrant courts are lawless. (1/4)

a lot of people crack wise about bluesky but what if i told you it facilitated the purchase of the onion by an internet guy who then went on to dismantle one of the biggest misinformation engines of the 21st century

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

Whoa 🤯 in Slow-Mo@0lsi.bsky.social

Chicago made it so every public school student can use their school ID as a #LibraryCard 📚. No forms, no extra steps. It gives over 300k students instant access to #books, #tutoring, and online resources 🙌

It might seem that the war with Iran is not at all connected to Russia's war in Ukraine and it would have happened even if our war hasn't. It's not like that. Russia's war against Ukraine is directly related to the rise of aggression and conflicts in the world. A balance has been broken.

Claudia Underfoot reposted

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians. We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

If you want to distract from the Epstein Files, maybe don't name your act of war something that also has the initials E F. Epstein Fury? Epic Files? We live in a grotesquely absurd timeline.
