You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

It's so irresponsible to lie and fear monger like this, especially when you present yourself as a trusted journalist. Now I have to question everything else this man brought to my attention

But let’s be clear: every day, masked ICE agents are acting violently against our neighbors, illegally abducting them, holding them in cruel and inhumane conditions. Treating them as less-than-human, and not deserving due process.

The reality is that fascist are already rewriting history to create their fascist, future and backwards looking myths.
This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

It existed yesterday and is gone today.

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions.

Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy.

On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout.

On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar.

This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media.

“What they’re offering people is not health insurance or economic security,” Stanley says, “They’re offering them delight in the torture of others.”
The official voice of the U.S. government draws from 4chan trolls, explicitly white nationalist phrases and talking points, and radicalizing, dehumanizing, desensitizing language for its targets. I talked to propaganda experts about what it’s doing to us:

The most votes for Trump in any state came from California.

The second most votes for Harris in any state came from Texas.

The notion that US states are politically uniform, and everyone there deserves the consequences of state elections is absurd.

I often get asked how the Hands of Eir program works... what we do. I might as well explain our CURRENT process.

Our work as an exit program is actually fairly casual. We interview potential former far-right extremist / white nationalist clients who then get paired with a peer mentor—usually me.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

2. These are not companies that supported the bill by donating to the politicians that voted for it (although most did that too).

These are companies that endorsed the bill publicly and were featured on a White House webpage.

People should know the companies that made this choice.

The Trump administration is currently holding hostage nearly $7B in federal funding for K-12 schools--funding that was supposed to be distributed yesterday.

They've stolen $80M from Wisconsin students and teachers alone. How much have they stolen from your state?

It’s hard to think of a better encapsulation of the Democratic Party right now than a 13-post rationalization for why doing nothing is actually the smartest move.
Because a number of folks keep asking, let’s talk about why the Democrats overwhelmingly voted to table Al Green’s motion to impeach Donald Trump. TL;DR: if you want Trump to be out of office ASAP, this was the right call, right now. Read on for the explanation…

Federal agents used explosives to enter a U.S. citizen’s home and entered — guns drawn — on a baby, a 6-year-old, and their mother. She believes it’s because her boyfriend attended an ICE protest where he accidentally hit a cop car (and was released by cops).

First of all, incredible concept for a rom com.

Second of all, HELL YES. This guy has been begging to star in a RomCom for ages. He is an adorable person. This is gonna be great I’m so happy for him.
Dave Bautista will finally star in his own rom-com ‘THE ROMANTIC’ after wishing to star in one for years.

The film follows a man who is secretly a romance author named Francine, but he must hire a woman to pose as him at a convention to avoid scrutiny.
