He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket.

How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Holy shit the AG ordered an arrest of a mayor independent of his actions

"She wants to grab him," Ricky Patel said before he had had any exchange w/Ras Baraka. Even after Baraka left the facility, Patel said, "I’m going to place the Mayor in handcuffs. We are arresting the Mayor, per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States."

Here’s how tariffs work. Your costs go up, and that money gets transferred to the wealthy.

Whether you’re progressive, liberal, leftist, libertarian, communist, socialist, moderate, democrat, conservative, Christian, atheist, Gen Z, Boomer… we have the same enemy. It’s the oligarchs.

Thank you. The praises he’s getting is hard to view given he’s done nothing but support the bombing of Gaza and allowed the humanitarian crisis to continue under his watch.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

Bari Weiss sounds more like a social media influencer who will embellish, dramatize, and express controversial viewpoints in order to get more ratings.
She's not about producing accurate news stories.
She's about chasing dollars.

The Free Press framing of DSA as a Dem Tea Party is also indicative of their willingness to lie.

DSA has what? One member of Congress now? They don't have anything like Koch money. Also, what conspiracies and violent rhetoric do they spread?

It's not analogous. Bari's narrative here is a lie.

Trump speaking in front of a group of world leaders: "I'm the only one that matters"

Trump on Orban: "We love Viktor. You are fantastic, alright? I know a lot of people don't agree with me, but I'm the only one that matters. He's a great leader. I endorsed him the last election he had and he won by 28 points. You're gonna do even better this time when you have another election."

We can hold all these things at the same time-celebration of the Jewish hostages coming home, the horrible treatment of Palestinians by the Israeli government including arresting with no due process, the obliteration of Gaza for no purpose other than they can, the fact that Netanyahu wants this war
knewsy.bsky.social
The wording of this reminds us all the unequal coverage od this war. The press has not criticized the bombing of Gaza and humanitarian crisis the Israeli government created.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.
