Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Trump: "They have Jasmine Crockett -- a low IQ person. AOC is low IQ. Have her pass the exams I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. They're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump. The first couple questions are easy -- a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe ... "

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Like I want to state this very bluntly, Jimmy Kimmel is being pilloried by fascists because he *played a clip of a thing that the president said to a journalist*
The whole joke is Kimmel playing the clip of Trump pivoting instantly to talking about the trucks and the ballroom lmfao…

america first is when you can’t criticize or boycott a government committing a genocide halfway across the world
The Trump administration will deny emergency preparedness funds to cities and states boycotting Israel, which is heinous but unsurprising. The Trump admin literally wants its political enemies to die.

I cannot stress enough: if calls for freedom and equality to celebrate a holiday about freedom and equality feel like an attack on you/your politics, that is the very definition of "hit dogs holler."
This is some of the weakest shit I've ever seen. Why is it a scandal that he "affirmed his opposition to antisemitism—but only while also condemning Islamophobia"?

The police insist they need astronomical sums of money and complete immunity from any harm they cause in order to be ready to protect us and then half the time they just decide they’d prefer not to?
They waited *more than an hour* to enter the Hortman home after watching Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway
Unbelievably tragic & heartbreaking
And, of course, they publicly congratulated themselves on a great, lifesaving police response when they’d let a lawmaker bleed out. Uvalde is everywhere

New details about police activity after lawmaker shootings raise questions about response
The Minnesota Star Tribune found that Brooklyn Park police waited more than 60 minutes to enter the Hortman home and that several law enforcement agencies were unaware of the situation for hours.

None of the old Democratic establishment should survive this era with any credibility or political future or influence, frankly.
They have been tested by genocide in Gaza and genocidal fascism at home, and have failed.
What political capital they have left, they need to spend down now.

Again we see the incoherence of right-wing policy. Rounding up homeless people and imprisoning them *is* housing them! Punitive solutions to this problem also cost a shitload and require a massive bureaucracy.
They are fine with providing housing, but only if it is ineffective and dehumanizing.

This is the line of thinking. Prevent states and localities from being more protective of the unhoused than SCOTUS. Do it through financial coercion.
