My nephew asks if he will eat meat only in heaven. I struggle to answer — #AJOpinion by Hala Al-Khatib. 🔗: aje.io/q58my0

Before the Trump administration took office, we revealed Russell Vought’s plan to demonize civil servants and “put them in trauma.” Since then, we've doubled down on our coverage of government agencies and federal policy. If you have information you can share, here's how you can get in touch.

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

Cis folks: reach is relative. You probably don't have the clout to support trans folks in People magazine. But you *do* have influence with the people around you. Work, family, community. Use it. Use it not just to blast bigots; also remember to uplift trans people around you.

the incumbent that kat was challenging is retiring and stepping down from her seat. we interviewed her when she launched her campaign. get to know her if you haven’t yet!

Dept. of Labor leadership is warning staff against speaking with journalists, regardless of what info is discussed. That's not going to stop my @propublica.org colleagues from listening. Here's how to reach them: www.propublica.org/tips/

There are times when a decent person would quit rather than preside over a sick farce. This is one of those times.

I hope she wins billions in a lawsuit from these soulless carcasses

he definitely killed fewer people like 98% of popes and really that's all you can ask for rip buddy

IT'S FRIDAY ALL WEEKEND! Be safe out there!

“There is no God but God, Muhammad is his messenger,” the paramedic is heard saying. He asks God for forgiveness and says he knows he is going to die. “Forgive me, mother. This is the path I chose — to help people,” he said. “Allahu akbar,” God is great, he says. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/w...

the only time i’ve ever seen a judge grant a defense motion to dismiss a criminal case mid-trial was when robert tracci fumbled a slam dunk case by forgetting to establish venue. honestly some of the worst lawyering i’ve ever witnessed. (from @bradkutner.bsky.social over on the other place)

remember what i said about RFK Jr. being a eugenicist first and foremost? www.marketwatch.com/story/agency...

New video is up! I’m really proud of this one and I think it’s really needed, all about the stories that can help make us think of a better future, that resist fascism but also remind us of what we can be. youtu.be/gU4x-Ox8_Qo

New Rubio order (leaked to me) directs the State Department to spy on student visa holders and applicants social media for "a hostile attitude toward U.S. citizens or U.S. culture (including government, institutions, or founding principles).” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

Theres a headline from the 1930s for every single thing happening here today

Hi. We've got a long road ahead until (at least?) 2029. Today we explore how Democrats are resisting Donald Trump's authoritarian surge and what individuals can do on the local level to help their communities. youtu.be/Ed-rNEkuhBY

FBI is turning into online rent-a-cops for CEOs, spying on social media posts it considers threatening to corporate execs, per new FBI doc obtained under FOIA by @ryanshapiro.bsky.social of @propotp.bsky.social. Give them a follow for more FOIA fireworks! www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-become...

BREAKING: This executive order would block tens of millions of American citizens from voting. Presidents have no authority to do this. This order, like the SAVE Act now before Congress, would hurt voters and suppress the vote.

election law followers please correct me if i’m wrong, but most of this seems basically unenforceable? like, the president does not have the legal authority to force a resident of virginia to submit a passport to register to vote in the state

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

Israeli forces have killed Hossam Shabat with a targeted airstrike while he was driving his car in Beit Lahiya. Shabat, who was 23 years old, had become well-known for his reports from northern Gaza amid Israel’s total siege on the region.

without encouraging any theorizing beyond the evidence available this is a story people should keep an eye on

1. Incredible ruling! An Ohio appeals court has ruled that trans care is healthcare, strikes down youth trans care ban! It made the ruling using the Republican-passed "health care freedom amendment" meant to overturn Obamacare! Subscribe to support my journalism. You'll want to read this one.

Throwing LGBTQ+ people under the bus isn't the answer. Standing up for them more is

solidarity 🖤🫡

It's always been about oppression

a liberal doing a boycott or a leftist doing a sit in or non violent occupation of a building all get called terrorists, a conservative shooting people or running them down with their car or blowing up a building is defined as let's not talk about that too much more of them might kill people

They're moving to classify constitutionally protected speech as terrorism. This is a five alarm fire.

Remember 2020… Move together. Be water. No one is coming to save us except ourselves. Everything is at stake.

NEW: Nursing Director Charged For 2018 Jail Death of Hardel Sherrell Nurse Becomes First Medical Provider in Minnesota Charged With an Inmate’s Death unicornriot.ninja/2025/nursing...

excited to hear the ADL's defense of this one

I can't remember the last time I saw an article just focus on this. Not that they've bent the truth or misrepresented a few facts a little, but that every single solitary thing that the GOP says on the topic is a stone cold lie with absolutely no basis in reality. ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

There are two transgender girls in the state of Maine competing in girls’ sports. There are now SIX federal agencies investigating the state. Here is our latest @propublica.org story with @bangordailynews.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/main...

Amidst all the chaos here in the US, please don't forget my brother and friend Mohamed in Gaza. It is the holy month of Ramadan for Muslims, and his fast will be easier if he can buy food to break it: www.gofundme.com/f/help-moham...

My wife works for a non-profit that’s trying to help get Afghan refugees to America. Please help if you can. gofund.me/d239141d

I planned on going to this but I worked overnight and now I am too tired.

We've confirmed the US Bureau of Prisons has transferred trans women to men's prisons despite three court rulings blocking Trump's executive order “I’m continuing to be punished for existing. I'm a pawn in others' political games" -Whitney, 31-year-old woman taken to men's prison this week, told us

Washington Post under Trump: "151,000 jobs is solid" Washington Post under Biden: "194,000 jobs is another weak month"

Newsom tossing trans people under the bus isn’t shocking—he’s always been a spineless centrist grifter cosplaying progressive when convenient. What’s wilder is him cozying up to white supremacist crybaby Charlie fucking Kirk.

"America does not need a 'resistance,' or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people," writes @RadioFreeTom: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

bathroom bills were considered a hugely bigoted overreach a decade ago and the backsliding on trans rights is the result of a sustained propaganda campaign by elites the pendulum can swing back the other way if you try, and anyone who is not willing to do so is showcasing their own bigotry
