Shopify allegedly installed tracking software on customers' phones without their consent. The company will now face a massive lawsuit after a federal court ruled in a 10-1 decision that the company can be sued in California over this data collection scheme.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

📌BREAKING: “60 Minutes” Executive Producer Bill Owens, resigns saying, “Over the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes,’ right for the audience.” 📌CHILLING

A federal judge has ordered the Turkish national, Tufts University Ph.D. student Rümeysa Öztürk to be transferred to Vermont no later than May 1st, as she seeks to challenge what her lawyers call her unconstitutional detention in an ICE jail in Louisiana.

Time is a flat circle

Instead of erasing all student debt (which should not exist in the first place), Donald Trump and friends are doubling down on ruthless capitalism.

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."

Representative Rashida Tlaib is the first Palestinian woman in Congress and one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress. This Arab American Heritage Month, we celebrate leaders like Representative Tlaib who fight for our civil rights and liberties.

“In the last 18 months of his life, Pope Francis had a frequent evening ritual: He would call the lone Catholic church in the Gaza Strip to see how people huddled inside were coping with a devastating war. That small act of compassion made a big impression on Gaza’s tiny Christian community.”

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

BREAKING: A court ruled that our case challenging Rümeysa Öztürk's unlawful detention should move forward in Vermont, instead of Louisiana, and that ICE must transfer her there. Nobody should be shipped to a detention facility halfway across the country for writing an op-ed.

learned from my superiors that two undercover ICE raids lied, saying that they were doing student welfare checks, in attempts to infiltrate LA public schools Thankfully, the teachers & staff refused the bastards entry

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

JUST IN: Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations

Important:

Why point out that neoliberal Democratic policies––from unchecked inequality, genocide, repression of dissent, and police-state norms––are in part responsible for bringing Trump to power? Because the fantasy that returning to what brought us to this hell will get us out is dangerously delusional.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

Amy Klobuchar demanding to speak at the massive Hands Off Rally in Saint Paul and then spending the next week confirming Trump appointees is amazing. Just tremendous contempt for her constituents.

RE Mahmoud: The order today is horrific, but expected. This is what immigration courts, especially in the South, function to do. Habeas proceeding in NJ is still pending. They *need* to win - getting it back to NJ, where he can appeal to the 3rd Circuit, rather than the 5th, could mean everything

"The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil" "Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs." Free this man immediately. apnews.com/article/mahm...

“We all need to work together to make sure that [AIPAC] don't just come in and buy elections.” Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social how AIPAC distorts the democratic process by bringing big money to elections. Watch the full interview: zeteo.com/p/pocan-dems...

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

•••••••BREAKING••••••• At least seven measles cases have been confirmed at a large day care center in Lubbock, Texas — including cases of children too young to be fully vaccinated, public health officials report. There are more than 200 children at the day care — Tiny Tots Learning Academy. Most…

The Social Security Administration is now wrongly informing some SSI recipients they are no longer receiving benefits. This comes as agency cuts have led to repeated website crashes and overwhelmed phone lines.  This is what DOGE's "efficiency" looks like.

NEWS: Amid the tariff crisis, private equity firms are accelerating the looting of companies they own in order to pay themselves out. PE lobbyists are also pushing to have the Trump tax bill include a provision creating a new tax break when they do this.

this is just a level of sickness that i don’t think any society can come back from

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing. Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

“Facing pressure to scrub its website of diversity and inclusion references, a Japanese American National Museum leader says the museum will ‘scrub nothing.’” 🔥

Retweeting this 1000x.

“Protests don’t do concrete things” ok except they very well might convince MORE people to come to the next protest and well let’s talk about what compound interest can do

Madison, WI #HandsOff 🥰🥰🥰

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

hey so uh just a reminder that protests should not be building email lists of attendees and they for sure should not be doing it with facebook and google accounts.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.
