If they haven’t done so already, I wonder long will it take for nonprofit newsrooms to tell funders that it’s too risky to prioritize DEI. They can take their old DEI money, add their new colorblind money, and keep hiring and retaining the same white reporters and editors they always did.

A woman who’s originally from Venezuela was stopped in Tucson for driving 25 in a 40 zone. Border Patrol arrived, handcuffed her in front of her children. All three were detained, interrogated, threatened with transfer to Guantanamo. Then, they were deported to Mexico azluminaria.org/2025/02/16/v...

NEW: Tonight, dozens of Consumer Finance Protection Bureau employees were fired via a hastily written email. Some affected employees were addressed as “[EmployeeFirstName][EmployeeLastName], [Job Title], [Division].” W/ @makenakelly.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/dozens...

On one hand, some reporters are undoubtedly KILLING IT right now. On the other hand, some reporters are referring to Elon Musk’s engineers as children.

THE WAY HE LOOKED AT THE CAMERA

Change the name.

Harsh words from a freshman who can’t answer a simple question about his fundraiser with Marc Andreessen.

Frogs don't wait for the water to boil.

Watching newsrooms that annihilated their editorial staffers of color, and others that never really hired editorial staffers of color to begin with, explain the significance of this moment.

It's started: planes full of immigrants are being dumped into Guantanamo Bay today.

For the Perry family, Minnesota’s disability waiver program is a lifeline. “The waiver system has been amazing,” said David Perry. Oh dear www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

The headline should read: RFK Tapped to Lead Child Migrant Program When migrant children arrive without a parent, or are separated from a parent at the border, they're placed in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is nested within the Department of Health and Human Services.

A three-year old, his mother, and his grandmother were speaking Spanish while shopping in Milwaukee. They’re U.S. citizens from Puerto Rico but were taken by ICE. Once in detention, the mother was able to produce ID and birth certificates proving citizenship: www.telemundopr.com/programas/di...

My taita, an indigenous man who learned Spanish as an adult after leaving his village, crossed from Paraguay to Argentina by foot. The idea of physical borders made by nation states just never squared away in his mind. A decade after his death, it’s shocking to me that Argentina will now build one.

Looking forward to reading @vntrinh13.bsky.social's work on "riot aliens," people deported from LA in 1992:

summoning the courage of my ancestors-today, I sat with the consequence of this reign of terror & like many of my friends family & community Im grieving the loss of a legacy of rights that came from our blood & sacrifice-Im crying because there must be time for it, but we are fucking getting up💚♥️🖤🇵🇷

It wasn’t ICE agents it was Secret Service agents who stated that they were ICE agents because they wanted to impress upon an ELEVEN YEAR OLD AND HIS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL that he shouldn’t post an anti-Trump video?

UPDATE: Secret Service agents — not ICE — were denied entry at a Chicago school despite initial CPS reports, a CPS source said. Secret Service agents were looking for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video, the source said. https://buff.ly/3EatFDz

Trump's administration doesn't seem to understand why Natives were excluded from the 14th Amendment, and may not be aware that the Snyder Act exists. I'd venture to say that, unfortunately, most people in the U.S. don't understand any of this, either.

Below is a quick primer on birthright. Moving forward, I think it's important to keep in mind that Trump's attempt to eliminate birthright citizenship order could be applied retroactively. This means that MILLIONS of people of all ages could be rendered stateless.

Doesn't seem possible that Trump can repeal the 14th Amendment in Congress, even less so in the states. Yet ten years ago, it didn't seem possible that he would become president. And on January 7, 2022, it didn't seem possible he would become president again. Why do people underestimate this man?

I may have missed this during his inaugural remarks but President Trump is instructing the Department of Justice to seek the death penalty against undocumented immigrants who seriously injure U.S. citizens:

I’m a formerly undocumented immigrant in a mixed-status family. I’m also an investigative reporter. These remarks are terrifying. There will be many projects to work on and stories in tell in the coming years but today it feels nothing less than devastating to me that I’m currently unemployed.

1 week into researching what health resources are out there for people with long COVID and so far the results are really depressing.
