“.. European airlines are freezing their transatlantic growth and pulling back from major U.S. cities like New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Chicago as they redirect flights to Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Caribbean.” $JETS $XAL www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article...

Even after all this, the @nytimes continues to normalize it

"Too often, national reporters express stories on policies that have enormous implications for the lives of everyday people in terms of whether it’s a win for the Democrats, a loss for the Republicans, or a boon for the president. We reject that," Ashton Pittman writes.

We sifted through the 220 attendees of Trump‘s crypto Gala and identified previously unknown Trump coin power players. A lot of details and photos here: www.nbcnews.com/tech/crypto/...

When he showed up to an immigration meeting in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen. Then ICE arrested the Mississippi father of four, not even giving him a chance to say goodbye to his wife, whisking him away to a prison. @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

One morning, sitting in an immigration office in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen found himself transformed. A day before, he was a welding foreman, a husband and father of four. Now, he was a detainee, bound and shackled in a detention shuttle in Tennessee. www.mississippifreepress.org/ice-arrests-...

Amid the Trump Administration’s mass-deportation efforts, Jordan Salama details his interactions with communities of migrants: construction workers, aspiring nail techs, and others “focussed on the day-to-day difficulties of surviving.”

Mississippi’s request for federal disaster assistance is pending more than two months after 18 tornadoes ripped through the state. The delays offer a glimpse into what could be in store for communities nationwide as the summer storm season arrives—while FEMA is mired in turmoil.

Years from now it will be very trying to hear the chorus of "if only there had been signs for where things were going" www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-whit...

Richard Trumka Jr., Alex Hoehn-Saric, and Mary Boyle were illegally fired from the Consumer Product Safety Commission by President Trump — and they’re still speaking out to protect Americans. I’m grateful for their courage and leadership.

A Mississippi father of four from Denmark remains in immigration custody after being arrested at his final citizenship interview by ICE agents in mid-April. @msindy.bsky.social @alanhuffman.bsky.social msindy.org/p/danish-leg...

I'm not the most objective source but you should read this article.

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids. Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

What happens if the courts can't stop the Trump Administration? “Then we’ve got to take to the streets in a different way,” Anthony Romero, the executive director of the A.C.L.U., tells David Remnick. “We've got to shut down this country.”

A Trump ally has told CNN’s parent company that they could avoid future lawsuits from the Trump administration if they make a documentary about Melania Trump or a TV show about Donald Trump Jr., which would involve paying the Trump family large amounts of money.

If you are a Republican wanting a photo-op you get a VIP visit to the prisons. If you are a Dem asking about someone wrongly jailed, you are turned away.

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

Sad that this is the best news outlet left: www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

The United States has run trade deficits since the late 1970s and has also been the richest nation on the globe during those years.

There's no shortage of read-it-and-weep stories out there these days, but this needs to be publicized: msindy.org/p/musk-elimi...

2. This lawyer by the way was involved in the arrest of Pinochet, and has written extensively about Nazi Germany.

Terrible. I know Democrats are terrified of seeming pro-immigration or pro-immigrants, but maybe they could bestir themselves to stand up against this grotesque combination of nativism and Putinism.

Based on the Atlantic's search tool, all of my books were pirated by Meta for use in training and enabling A.I. to "create new works." Which is theft. Story is here: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

All four of my books and a bunch of my articles and book reviews are part of the pirated database Meta used to train its AI 😡

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

I don't know about you, but I respect and admire journalists and news organizations that don't fund and lend continued credibility to fascist propaganda websites owned by sociopathic billionaires actively putting millions of lives at risk

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

It's worth paying the modest subscription price for the New York Times just to listen to (or read transcripts from) Ezra Klein's podcasts. He and his guests offer clear-eyed, informed perspectives on the pivotal moment we now find ourselves in. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

There's no shortages of tragedies unfolding as Elon Musk eviscerates federal agencies without considering the consequences for dedicated employees and the public. Here is one: www.npca.org/articles/707....
