This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it.

Please give at least the $2.75 minimum they request if you can.

This is the case widely shared on video where a man had a seizure while in a chokehold. DHS accused him publicly of faking.

whats going on? its true that people rely on @thetriibe.com. please explain and repair.
@bsky.app @support.bsky.team This is Chicago's only Black owned media outlet and a crucial part of ICE/CBP reporting during an actual emergency. Unacceptable/please free @thetriibe.com
So... @support.bsky.team still hasn't given any tangible help on how we can get access to our @thetriibe.com account again.

It's going on a week now.

Will be posting our stories from here in the meantime.

Elon Musk is now worth $600 billion.

Someone working at the federal minimum wage would have to work 9.45 million years to make that much money.

We are all so much closer to being homeless than being a billionaire.

Tax the rich.

a "journalist" asks about pardoning someone in the crypto industry and Trump says he "doesn't know anything about it" but then asks Pam Bondi to look into it

The president is using this apparent family tragedy, which as far as we know had absolutely nothing to do with him, to convey the message that if his fans brutally murder his critics, they will receive his support and approval.
Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?

TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

This is the fifth GOP congressperson I’ve seen criticizing Trump’s post on Rob Reiner, and the first who isn’t either leaving the House (MTG, Bacon), a frequent critic (Massie), or in a swing district (Lawler).

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

This applies to more than one story tonight!!
And that’s why journalists should never publish someone’s name before they’re charged, even if law enforcement is calling them a “person of interest” and even if you really, really want to beat your competitors

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

The Trump administration ignored questions about whether it would order the killings of those on its NSPM-7 list — even while answering our other queries.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

When they destroyed our Mary figure in our anti-ICE #nativity, I bet they didn’t think that we would make it MORE powerful! Honestly, if you tear something down that you don’t like, you’re pretty much never the good guy. That goes for nativities and the entire county, btw. #DHS, take note.

It is perhaps foolhardy to attempt to say something new about a topic as widely studied as empathy. I tried anyway! 1/

A quick sidenote about this; one reason I stay on X is specifically because of exchanges like this, where @davidjbier.bsky.social and I got a prominent government official to make a claim so outrageous that it’s now ricocheting around the internet and actively undermining official PR campaigns.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.
