This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

The fact that a Southern European state-owned railway company is entering the German rail market and credibly competing with Bahn is not only objectively funny if you grew up during the financial crisis, but also another clear symptom we now live in a world where more state-planning eventually wins.

Someone asked me a good question on here. How do we stop ICE from violating our constitutional rights. We don't. Our local elected officials do that job. Our Governor, or Sheriffs our mayors, Police. They stop ICE. With force if necessary. That's how you stop ICE from pulling us out of our homes.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

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...

Apparently people are once again asking who's at fault here. We can improve road safety dramatically by revoking the driver's licence of everyone who thinks it's the cyclist's fault.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

“There was a law passed that makes it almost impossible not to certify them once they come in”
Trump knows his admin granted asylum to the Afghan shooter, so he’s blaming the law.
A judge ruled the National Guard deployment illegal.
If the law mattered, the troops would have been home.

Soon-to-be Mayor Mamdani will have lots of maneuverability when it comes to building bike lanes, thanks to an ongoing cycling boom that has seen New Yorkers take nearly four million more bike trips in 2024 compared to just two years earlier at the dawn of the Adams administration.

The newly christened mayor may have only won a narrow mandate last night, but an ongoing cycling boom gives him maneuverability to build bike lanes.
