Latest video in the Take-a-Day series: How to find news sources like a historian. The Trump administration is bragging about shutting down media outlets. I could give you alternative trusted outlets, but instead: here's how to find new legitimate sources yourself. youtube.com/shorts/uk_dA...

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs. Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

"What the Heck Just Happened" with @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @jbf1755.bsky.social This talk felt empowering & positive, which is such a relief after so much doom. There has been a shift. They discuss when shifts in history have made a difference in the past. www.youtube.com/live/L2-IA04...

Inspired today by @hcrichardson.bsky.social I am America. I am the 10th generation of my family of immigrants in America, the 3rrd, and the 5th. Trying to to leave the world better than before. Never elite, always hard working. I refuse to abandon that effort now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT4y...

An attempted $160 bribe is just so insulting. We live in nyc be real.

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney - addressing me directly - says there’s no such thing as prisoner work details outside the facility in the federal prison system. Yes there are. I have receipts.

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

They SHUT DOWN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

you should read/bookmark Marcy @emptywheel.bsky.social's post if for no other reason than the excellent Epstein-Maxwell timeline, including all those "mob-offshoot" events like Barr's botched/clumsy firing of Berman www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/22/t...

It looks like makeup (and a poor choice of color, at that) used to cover something up. Perhaps there’s bruising from an IV line underneath?

Rep. Robert Garcia: "I rise today to demand that Donald Trump and our attorney general come clean to the American people and release the Epstein files ... it's obvious that somebody is lying and someone is trying to hide something."

If you want a job at McDonald’s, there’s a good chance you'll have to talk to Olivia. Olivia is not a human but an AI chatbot that screens applicants. And until recently, the platform that runs her suffered from absurdly basic security flaws.

The number of extreme weather disasters has jumped fivefold worldwide over the past 50 years, and the number of deaths has nearly tripled, according to the World Meteorological Organization.

Holy shit, indeed. Jon Karl doesn’t just ask a smart question, he repeatedly refuses to take dodges for an answer and just keeps demanding a direct response and doesn’t let it go. I think I vaguely remember this. It was called … journasomething?

Release the Epstein files! Everything!

How are we standardizing the names of disasters in which Trump decisions have led to additional deaths? Trump Murder Floods?

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

I love you, Bluesky. Never change.

Is this 2025 . . .

Let's review: 1. Iran was not building a nuclear weapon 2. US intel said that if the US bombed Iran, it might push Iran to build a nuke 4. Trump bombed Iran anyway 5. Trump claimed the bombs "obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities 6. Iran's program was set back only a few months, US intel says

There is more extreme weather happening in our nation as predicted by climate scientists because of climate change. Americans are dying because of terrible political decisions made in the past and politicians who continue to treat climate change as a “hoax.”
