An airline-owned data broker collected US travelers’ flight records, sold them to Customs and Border Protection, and then as part of the contract told CBP to not reveal where the data came from, according to a contract obtained by 404 Media.

Perfect 🤣

Do I hope anything will happen by sharing these? No! I’ve seen what happened to Gaza despite international sympathy, and Iranians don’t even get that because of their government! Why share then? Because I’m trembling, don’t know what to do, and still have optimism in humanity in the long term.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

scholar of partisan violence/Latin American Dirty Wars here: there is nothing to distinguish this from how people were taken in Argentina, Guatemala, Chile, etc, except that it's all on camera

1. Let's put this together. The assassin appears to be the follower of the New Apolostolic Reformation, which holds that American society is literally under demonic possessions. (And you, dear reader, are one of the demon.) www.wired.com/story/shooti...

I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

One Minnesota.

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

when no one attends your shitty dictator parade

#nokings #savannah And here’s a lady getting arrested for wearing a medical mask

If you take one thing away from today, let it be that we outnumber them.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

nobody in attendance for a tank show in Washington? Is this a military parade or the last 4 months of the Wizards’ season????

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Dallas turned out with at least 10,000 marching for #NoKingsDay

When López Alvarado tried to tell the officers that she was due June 17, she said they responded, “‘OK, your baby is going to be born here, but you’re from Mexico, right?’ And I told them no.” https://trib.al/ljia9Xs

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

“Miasma theory” was discarded by medical experts and government officials in the mid to late 19th century. Just in case you were wondering what NPR means by “outdated.”

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

not beating the allegations

American life expectancy in 1960 was almost ten years shorter than it is today. And the leading causes of death were chronic diseases. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. frequently tells a different story.

Checking in on “Yes Kings”

Update: Gov. Walz confirms that Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed. Officials are “cautiously optimistic” that state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife will survive their injuries.

18-year-old coders at DOGE didn't know what Farsi is, so 🤷‍♂️

This chart @pbump.com crated for his @washingtonpost.com newsletter today really illustrates the responsibility—the guilt—of Rupert Murdoch and bad-faith alternative-facts Fox News for getting and keeping us in our current mess. More impact than any single U.S. news media enterprise has ever had.

This is a rogue regime that has already done HUNDREDS of high crimes worthy of impeachment.

I’ve been briefed this morning on an ongoing situation involving targeted shootings in Champlin and Brooklyn Park. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement are on the scene. We will share more information soon.

The news isn’t being clear about this but to people hearing about these Minnesota shootings: Melissa Hortman is the Dem leader in the Minnesota House and was Speaker of the House 2019-2025. She’s probably the most influential state-level Democrat barring the governor.

Seems like a pretty calculated hit

BREAKING: Minnesota Senator John Hoffman (D) and State Rep. Melissa Hortman (D) have been shot at their homes. Condition unknown - KMSP

L.A. TACO has confirmed with Brian Gavidia who filmed this troubling footage, that federal agents abducted his U.S.-born Mexican American friend, Javier Ramirez yesterday at 4 PM in Montebello. ~ @theglutster.bsky.social

hell yeah, more of this please

Don’t think I’ve ever muttered the words “fuck me sideways” quite so much reading a story as this one.

AOC: "They have released chaos in LA by violently raiding & ripping apart peaceful public spaces, and now they are tackling & arresting US sitting members of Congress, while going on the record & lying about what happened.

how is this real life www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Sorry, cancer patients, but we just don't have the money. We had to prioritize spending tens of millions on a military parade so the president could compensate for his many personal inadequacies. I'm sure you understand.
