While we’re talking about @npr.org’s coverage of the admin, I really wish they would start adding to their coverage of the Iran crisis that the Trump has no legal position to attack Iran without congressional approval. Calling these things out matters!
Props to NPR for leading the newscast w/ the president's racist post. But, c'mon...they're not false narratives. They're lies. Words matter (Once again, don't give me the 'but we don't know what he knows or is thinking.')

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

I guess this might not be obvious to folks who aren’t in DC/regular attendees, but: The KC is a gorgeous venue. It is not run down, and certainly is not remotely in need of the kind of complete renovation that would require shutting it down for two years.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

We really need a fed law that makes it nearly impossible for federal law enforcement officers to dress like this. Not just the masks, all of it. And those who do cannot be dispatched absent some sort of statutorily-defined exigent circumstances, set at a high bar. No routine work like this. Ever.
Border Commander Greg Bovino stands outside a South Minneapolis gas station this morning with BORTAC officers in what seemed like an effort to draw more and more people to the scene as other agents shoot high resolution video of the crowd yelling and blowing whistles.

The risk—one Bluesky in particular should sit w—is that repeating “the election won’t happen” or “it’s fundamentally illegitimate” often enough just depresses turnout. There’s evidence Trump’s constant claims of election rigging did that to his own voters.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

It's election day! To all my fellow US folks: make sure you get out & vote. The eels demand it of you.
Eels, of course, are citizens of the world. So they can't vote in local elections, and they have to rely on you to do it for them.
Even if you won't vote for you, be a proxy vote for an eel!

Independents blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown by a 2:1 margin.
Trump’s approval with people under 30 has completely cratered.
63% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s management of the federal government.
