A battle is unfolding in picturesque Lafayette Park, where residents are trying to stop a private utility company from digging up parts of their nationally recognized neighborhood to install high-pressure steam infrastructure.

My takeaway from this: He is so fucked.

We're getting pizza and I'm obsessed with this slightly broken mural that used to be about eating with your hands but now it reads like Saruman's manifesto

by popular demand, I've unlocked this paid subscriber post so it's free for everyone ~ "Marathon" isn't a good metaphor, because marathons are a slog to be endured, and also, marathons end, whereas this is... interminable. But what if, hear me out,... www.shesabeast.co/its-not-a-ma...

The Trump administration is asking Congress to cut funding for Head Start.

“The reason we’re here is because the government of the United States wants you to leave the United States,” an immigration judge told a group of about a dozen children on a recent morning, including a 4-year-old girl, squeezing her pink plushy toy.

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

The FBI joined state and local police Wednesday to raid the homes of pro-Palestinian activists linked to University of Michigan protests.

My PhD student's NSF grant was terminated today. Her dissertation investigates why air pollution monitoring, metrics, and regulations don't properly capture the harms experienced by marginalized communities--esp in the most polluted Detroit neighborhoods. She and I are happy to talk with press etc.

Who did this. 🤣

Woman whose ancestors stole entire continent suspects Indigenous person shoplifting

It takes fewer muscles to smile than it does to rent a warehouse and spend 7 years constructing an elaborate vengeance machine

Being banned was mostly funny but not being able to boost things for people wasn't.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears. Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak. They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent. This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov 🙌🏾 It took courage and guts to do what you did.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland) met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego García, a Maryland resident who has been imprisoned in the country since the Trump administration mistakenly deported him there last month.

Kiera had court on the 5th. She lost her case and she doesn't get Zammi back. Zammi was taken based on Kiera's results of the FKU testing, which is now banned. But they are still going to keep Zammi from her anyway.

In this moment… gentle leading questions Like when someone tells you “just buy American made coffee Ask them which state grows coffee beans?

Thank you to whoever made this

Converting my 401K into cartons of cigarettes for barter before the market opens tomorrow.

THIS IS INSANE.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

UPDATE: Alireza Doroudi — an Iranian University of Alabama engineering PhD student detained by ICE yesterday — is being held in the Jena/LaSalle Detention Facility in Louisiana. The same place Mahmoud Khalil was taken to. His lawyer & student activists say Doroudi was not involved in protests.

NEW: A federal judge in Massachusetts has granted a temporary restraining order barring the Trump administration from deporting any person to a country they are not a national of (so-called 'third country removals') without written notice and an opportunity to apply for protection from that country.

The Trump administration halted funding for a national database that tracked domestic terrorism, hate crimes, and school shootings, as part of broad cuts to violence prevention programs. The move eliminated a critical resource designed to enhance public safety amid persistent and pressing threats.

Happy One Month Anniversary to this story.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

This is what a worldwide Tesla boycott looks like. Reports just in show that Tesla sales in San Diego have dropped by 35% this month. We likely won’t have a full picture of U.S. sales for another week.

Bsky is silently removing my skeets about what is happening to Indigenous people. I posted about Txai Suruí and COP16 and I posted about Carlos Andrés Ascué Tumbo, the Indigenous leader from Colombia getting killed the day both events happened. Both skeets are gone, and I didn't delete them.

Latimer: They intend on ending Social Security. That's what they intend to do and the people who work in labor to do this work, the members of unions.. all of those people that lose their job, they don't care. Not important. They're not part of Mar a Lago's family.

Fuck Stephen Miller and Tom Homan to hell. Goddamn bastards, both of them.

Numerous Social Security numbers — including those belonging to a U.S. ambassador, congressional staffers and intelligence researchers — were revealed to be included in the trove of J.F.K papers released.

This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen

Can't believe nobody made a wild robot action figure.

"Yes America, I am coming to take away your grandma's social security and Medicare, and she might have to dumpster dive for her final years, but all that money I'm not going to be paying in taxes has to come from somewhere."

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.
