You can watch the 60 Minutes piece (with a link in my story) about the abuse & torture migrants received in the El Salvador gulag after being deported by the Trump regime without due process & lies about their criminality. This horror is what Trump apologist Bari Weiss didn’t want Americans to see.
Bullseye from 60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi in response to Bari Weiss: “If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient.”

Snapshot: Rejecting the Regime's 'Kill Switch'
CBS News' Bari Weiss blocked a rigorous '60 Minutes' story about the brutal CECOT prison. This is not tolerable.

That was Sally Jenkins sticking up for her fellow girl boss Bari Weiss. But I don’t know what editors were thinking letting that characterization slip by.
The @theatlantic.com claims that Canadians will use "treachery" to make America and its media look "silly".
No, we are a democratic people who hate thugs and their pusillanimous enablers.
Deal with it.

This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient.
The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.

America is not now, and never has been, a Christian nation.
In fact, it was *explicitly* designed *not* to be.
Most of us learned this in junior high—at the latest.
But Vance is a white nationalist who’ll say or do anything to get even a *shred* more power, so this perversion of our history fits.

The unarmed man who ran towards the shooter, and grabbed his rifle was a Lebanese Muslim and an immigrant to Australia.
As Muslims are so often demonized, worth mentioning that it was a Muslim who rushed to save Jewish lives on Bondi Beach.

On the occasion of #FrantzFanon s death anniversary (tomorrow), here’s a skeet I wrote in 2023 on his work as a psychiatrist AND a decolonial scholar.
It’s never been either-or!

🧵 Yesterday was Frantz Fanon's death anniversary (6 Dec 1961). I want to credit what usually gets little attention: the fact that he was a psychoanalyst and a psychiatrist. And that his critique of colonialism can only be understood as being build from his clinical experience...
