BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

No winners here, I think.

Chicago!

Zohran Mamdani, who would be NYC's first South Asian mayor, releases new ad in Hindi, complete with Bollywood clips:

"U.S. District Judge Gordon P. Gallagher granted a request from the family of Mohamed Sabry Soliman to halt deportation proceedings of his wife and 5 children."

OPINION: "Black women in the Delta face disproportionate barriers to cervical-cancer prevention and treatment—barriers that are exacerbated by the ongoing closure of rural hospitals across Mississippi," Mala Brooks writes.

A lesson learned the hard way that you can never, ever appease a bully by giving them everything they want. You fight back and they leave you alone. Because bullies are all cowards.

Porcine Air Force alert!

He is a GA-15???? No. He has no degree. He has no expertise. He has five months experience wrecking the government. He’d be lucky to be hired as a GS-5. Fire him. Or at least investigate how he merits this grade.

🚨WOW. It turns out that a "Tren de Aragua gathering" the Trump admin said it broke up in March ... was just a BIRTHDAY PARTY. None of the people arrested at the party seem to have any criminal record — and none have been charged criminally in the months since it happened. Read the story below.

CASAR: Is promoting the work of Holocaust deniers and antisemites contrary to the nat'l interest? KRIKORIAN: We haven't done that CASAR: But you have promoted the work of Holocaust deniers KRIKORIAN: We also promoted the work of open borders people in that effort to present a broad range of views

Bacterium: tiny, squishy theys who eat & multiply with the rest of the living. Virus: not alive but does *not* give a shit. touch-activated biochemical death-trap. naturally occurring infernal screwdriver.

Whenever I explain to people not in academia that a tenure track job is essentially a six-year job interview that results in you either getting promoted or fired, their brains explode.

The Trump administration has escalated its fight with Columbia University, declaring the school doesn’t meet accreditation standards for failing to enforce nondiscrimination laws.

I think implementing a 5 year ban on publishing once you leave a nominated/appointed federal job is not unreasonable. It would take some work to not violate 1A, but these post administration tell all books are a bane

The Congressional Budget Office just confirmed that the Big Beautiful Bill is, in Elon Musk’s words, a “disgusting abomination.” This exposes Republicans’ lies — this bill will rip health care away from millions of people and jack up the debt to fund tax breaks for billionaires.

Also, not trivially, they must have the fucking warrant. They have to have and present it.

Before the tanks. Never forget. Tiananmen Square.

I love this dearly, and I protest the Pork Chop erasure. 😸

"Israeli military said its troops fired 'warning shots' at Palestinians who had strayed from a route leading to the site." We will bomb your homes, schools, & hospitals, force you to flee again & again & again, slaughter whole families & starve your babies—but THIS place is safe. Psych! 🎁🔗

Donald Trump just fulfilled another Project 2025 promise. He pulled guidance that protected doctors who provide abortions to save their patients’ lives. Let me be clear that in Illinois, you remain protected and can receive reproductive health care without fear of retribution.

Propaganda I’m NOT falling for: • Long COVID is rare • It’s all in your head • Kids bounce back • Masks don’t work • No need for vaccines • We need to "move on" We see the gaslighting. We’re not buying it. #LongCOVID Anything propaganda I missed?

Went outside to walk my neighbor's dog; instead of smelling like rain, it smelled like hot asphalt, and now I have a fucking terrible sinus headache. Chicago peeps, stay inside if you can. The air quality warnings are not kidding.

"The projection they're using does not match what we want people to believe, so we reject it and pretend it's not valid." Just like they've done every other time they want to blow up the deficit to give more tax cuts to billionaires. They only accept CBO analysis if it makes Dems look bad.

The child in this trustee’s scenario? Faculty. Who submitted their tenure files for consideration in accordance with the terms of their employment. Both sides have a responsibility in that contract, one to submit and one to review. I hope everyone really hears this.

Doctors have been clear that she will die within days” without this care, Lawyer Gina Amato said at a press. “Deporting this family under these conditions is not only unlawful, it constitutes a moral failure that violates the basic tenets of humanity and decency.”

Outside immigration court in Chicago this morning, community rally in the rain in support of Ramon Morales-Reyes, a Milwaukee man snatched by ICE and accused of writing a letter threatening President Trump. There's just one problem: the letter was fake. Another man is now accused of forging it.

Uh. Yeah. I worked in a bagel shop in NY throughout high school. We served bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches (I made a mean one). If someone ordered a bacon CHEESE and egg, I'd move my hands close to the "we're being robbed" under the counter button...

This truly is a disturbing statement from the UK judge who found a Quran burner guilty of a public order offense. That someone decides to stab you because they don’t like what you say does not mean the state has good cause to convict you. Just a wildly backwards notion. unherd.com/newsroom/cri...

The GOP pitches unpopular platforms, but wins elections because they stoke fear and anger in their base while Dems try to 'reach across the aisle'. An angry customer is more likely to leave a review on Yelp than a happy customer. It is the only play they got, but it is also quite effective

Keith Gavin was promised he could recite four Islamic prayers before his execution, but only got halfway through the first. “They started the lethal injection process while I was still standing right there,” said Imam Abdul-Adarr, who led the prayers. boltsmag.org/alabama...

They also never push for *new* policies that would be hugely popular, like “tax churches out of existence if they abuse children” or “make politicians have to take the exact same drug tests and adhere to the same food restrictions as federal aid recipients”.

You don’t need a think tank to figure this out. Every single person in the world wants to be safe and comfortably afford housing, groceries, and healthcare. It’s really that simple.

Absolutely horrifying. Note that at the end of the piece we learn that the UN staff member was reportedly beaten to death, not shot from a distance.

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

BREAKING: The RNC intervenes in federal court to defend Trump’s anti-voting executive order. The RNC argues that more accessible voting hurts Republican candidates, attempting to justify limiting mail-in ballots and purging voter rolls.

This group exists for the specific purpose of trying to get Dems to throw trans people under the bus.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 81 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

🚨 Trump’s Bedminster golf club flagged for 18 health violations in latest inspection—earned lowest grade in county (32/100) Among the violations: 🤢 Expired milk 🤢 Raw meat stored above cheese 🤢 A hand-washing station without soap me, for @forbes.com

Actually, yes, this and a fantastic set of encyclopedias

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists. W/ @texastribune.org‬ @cazadoresdefakenews.info & Alianza Rebelde Investiga
