The Trump administration has reached a deal that will allow Boeing to pay $1.1 billion to avoid criminal prosecution for two deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019, which together killed 346 people. Many victims' families, however, are still calling for Boeing's day in court.

Calls are growing to resist what could be the biggest transfer of wealth in American history, the Trump-backed budget bill now facing the Senate. @publiccitizen.bsky.social says civic engagement can help defeat the bill in the months ahead.

"Mt. Everest of Corruption": Crypto Investors Buy Access to President; Trump Expands Bitcoin Holdings

A new U.S.-Israeli plan to give out limited amounts of food in Gaza has led to chaotic scenes this week, as thousands of starving Palestinians have overrun the distribution points. "This is all just trickery that is being used to further the genocide," says @jeremyscahill.com from @dropsitenews.com.

The US is building a one-stop shop for buying your data, a mysterious hacking group’s secret client is exposed, and Signal takes a swipe at Microsoft Recall, in this week’s security news roundup. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

From Buttigieg to Crockett to Gallego, Democrats are quietly building a presence on Substack. The 2026 and 2028 campaigns may be shaped more by inboxes than broadcasts.

Research group Forensic Architecture finds that Israel is using tactics in the West Bank similar to those used in Gaza.

I’m sure congressional Republicans will jump on this.

Trump Media is building a Bitcoin reserve. So is the Trump White House. Two fronts, one crypto strategy. Here’s how Trump’s private company and public policy just aligned— me, for @forbes.com

Trump has probably been sharing intelligence on Ukraine with Putin the entire time. Remember when aid to Ukraine was stopped and Russia suddenly got very precise with its strikes within the hour?

Only five Democrats -- out of 41 -- voted against a bill to allow a multi-billion dollar casino in Queens. It's a wild turnaround for a project that appeared to be on life support a year ago. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

ICE is tapping into a nationwide network of AI-powered license plate cameras without a formal contract. Local police perform searches labeled “immigration,” “ICE,” or “ICE+ERO,” giving federal agents access to surveillance data across 5,000+ communities.

In Trump's world, media that doesn't bow to his whims is labeled fake and corrupt. The apprentice dictator's playbook: discredit, distract, dominate. #3E

Trump's Big Ugly Bill hides a sinister clause: stripping courts of power to enforce contempt. A move to neuter judicial authority, leaving democracy gasping for air. The audacity of crowning oneself king in a republic. #3E

Trump's administration, a masterclass in chaos, now accused of "manufacturing" it. Deporting migrants to countries they don't belong to, with less than 16 hours' notice. A judge calls out the absurdity. When rhetoric trumps reason, humanity is the casualty. #3E

Fear is the goto tool to control the masses.

Leak the damn documentary already

The plight of the Palestinians is the battle of the working class everywhere. It is the battle of humanity vs tyranny. It is a battle against fascism and evil, against insatiable greed and power.

Palestinian bsky users are having their accounts suspended and our labeled as spam. Please read, sign and share this open letter.

"Eventually, according to the plan, Palestinians would live in guarded compounds that would each house up to tens of thousands of noncombatants." Normally called "concentration camps" -- and were any country other than Israel doing it, media would say that. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Mustafa Yassin, just 4 years old, has died of malnutrition at Baptist Hospital in Gaza City. Everybody who has ever voted for a pro-Israel politician is complicit in his death

A British surgeon currently in Gaza: "These children are so malnourished they are wasting away. Its shocking to see this degree of malnutrition..." Israel is deliberately starving over 2 million people. Half of them are children. And the UK govt is helping them while they do it.

Military intervention now necessary

Where is the outrage about this? And why is it not already national news? #MosqueVandals

If bluesky is dying it's bc there are a million accounts with 100k followers that all follow each other and post things like 'orange man tiny hands' back and forth all day and having that inside me would cause me a terminal illness too

Brands that support Israel. #Israel #Palestine #FreePalestine #boycottisrael #BDS

The people who say "free Gaza from Hamas" would have said "free South Africa from Nelson Mandela's uMkhonto weSizwe".

Here's a long thread of *verified* civilians trapped and hungry in Gaza. Their accounts are constantly deleted, so I'm linking to direct pages. Please give, repost, and find others to help. Most on Bluesky are real people in desperate need, and we’re their only lifeline. I'll post more next week.

Everybody has forgotten this

I always wondered how she could have married him twice, and the answer contained in this article is she's absolutely brain-poisoned with far right ideology. Thank god her role in pride & prejudice 2005 was small so I can still enjoy that movie

ICE agents arrested a high school student in New York City after he showed up to what he believed would be a routine immigration check-in.

SCOOP: ICE, HSI, and DHS are getting side-door access to the nationwide system of Flock license plate cameras by asking local police to perform lookups for them, new public records show. ICE does *not* have a contract to use this surveillance tool itself. www.404media.co/ice-taps-int...
