More people marched today than at any time in the history of the United States.

For @nytimes.com, it was the 6th most important story.

They are making sure that those in power do not see what they do not want to see.

This is not what we were brought up to think of as journalism.

This is terrifying.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This is all so heartbreaking.
The Trump administration said that it would open up 58 million acres of back country in national forests to road construction and development, removing protections that had been in place for a quarter century.

In the days of grief after his wife's miscarriage in 2015, Kasper Erikson forgot to submit an immigration form.

The Mississippi father thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen when ICE arrested him in April.

Now he’s in a Louisiana prison, facing deportation over the 10-year-old mistake.

Proactively forcing a media cycle about Joe Biden at all in May 2025 when he will never hold office again while people are experiencing any number of horrors is not only obsession but it’s also doing fascists’ work for them.

This is why all the angst about the “Biden is old” controversy is going to make me lose my mind.
"If the media were going to put their thumb on the scale, they ought to have done so in defense of democracy," writes @sulliview.bsky.social of past election coverage.

Instead they opted to "sanewash" Trump's extremism, drawing false equivalences, while normalizing his fascist tendencies.

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.
