As an individual who donates to @propublica.org I would be very interested in their response to this. I have always assumed that Propublica represents investigative journalism rooted in professional ethics. @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social

My stories continuously get stolen or sold as someone else’s. It’s infuriating. I’m sick of existing only to make other people money. #propublica #kristonoem www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMwq6cWN/

Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanis, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday. We will do everything we can to support them. We continue to work with the hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.

"Julia's" deleafing grapevines in CAs San Joaquin Valley earning 50 cents per vine. She wears a mask as the grape leaves contain dust and other small particles that irritate her throat & lungs. Her eyes are exposed and are often irritated by the end of the day. #WeFeedYou

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

Trump's sweeping tariffs comes in the form of higher prices on Americans, like a sales tax. As a share of income, it asks more from poor Americans and less from the wealthy.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

Replying to @jerryclayton.bsky.social

Thank you for showing the crowd. The story KENS-5 TV posted originally led with "Several people gathered at San Antonio's Main Plaza..." After people called the station to complain, they updated the lead sentence (at 3:08 pm 4/5/25) to say "Several hundred people gathered...". 1,000 is closer.

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre

theguardian.comI was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centreGraphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do it Just before the graphic artist Rebecca Burke left Seattle to travel to Vancouver, Canada, on 26 February, she posted an image of a rough comic to Instagram. “One part of travelling that I love is seeing glimpses of other lives,” read the bubble in the first panel, above sketches of cosy homes: crossword puzzle books, house plants, a lit candle, a steaming kettle on a gas stove. Burke had seen plenty of glimpses of other lives over the six weeks she had been backpacking in the US. She had been travelling on her own, staying on homestays free of charge in exchange for doing household chores, drawing as she went. For Burke, 28, it was absolute freedom. Within hours of posting that drawing, Burke got to see a much darker side of life in America, and far more than a glimpse. When she tried to cross into Canada, Canadian border officials told her that her living arrangements meant she should be travelling on a work visa, not a tourist one. They sent her back to the US, where American officials classed her as an illegal alien. She was shackled and transported to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention centre, where she was locked up for 19 days – even though she had money to pay for a flight home, and was desperate to leave the US.

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. But the greed of the oligarchs never stops.  Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs. Together we can stop them. We must stop them.
