I wish we lived in a land where if journalists heard the president call one of their colleges "piggy" or suggest another of their colleagues, who was butchered for what he wrote, in some way had it coming, they would close their laptops, leave as soon as possible, and ask to be reassigned.

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

One of the most shameful incidents of WW2 was when the government and press scapegoated refugees, then decided to pack them off an a cramped ship, The HMT DUNERA and ship them to Australia.

As they boarded the boat they were stripped of the valuables and robbed by the guards.

Now government policy

One lie after the other.
And unable to say he would sign the bill. That was a "ratings" move, not a truth-telling shift.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Ex-Treasury Secretary Larry Summers is "deeply ashamed" of his years-long communication with Jeffrey Epstein and says he will be "stepping back from public commitments."

"I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein."

the supreme court might decide if libraries can pull books just because officials don’t like them. totally normal, right? one ruling could rewrite public libraries nationwide.

how are we still arguing about basic rights in 2025?
Supreme Court Set to Decide Whether to Hear Key Texas Book Banning Case
The petition to the high court comes after the Fifth Circuit, in a shocking decision delivered in May, held there was no First Amendment right to receive information in libraries.

A HUGE win for James Comey in his criminal case.

A federal judge orders the DOJ to turnover ALL OF THE GRAND JURY MATERIALS to Comey's defense team.

About to drop a new episode walking through the details of this scathing order on my YouTube channel!

For people who promised to fix things on "Day 1," the Trumpers spend a lot of time blaming a guy who hasn't been president for 10 months.

The dolphins are getting Alzheimer’s from algae blooms
caused by warming waters and toxic runoff

and you could see the bloodstains in Sudan
from space.

The cobalt is mined by children
and the music is made by robots

and the grownups are wondering
where the fireflies went.
