Another insane story. The US has confiscated this family’s baby and put her into foster care, basically because the parents have tattoos — and deported the mom to Venezuela and trafficked the dad into prison in El Salvador. They have no known criminal record

Now we have the answer. The original story was legit then Bezos backed down.

‘SINNERS’ is estimated to earn a phenomenal $42M domestically this weekend, a 10% drop • Would be the smallest box office drop for a major movie in modern history • Strong chance the film could earn more this weekend than last weekend Read our review: bit.ly/SinnersDF

this guy is a world class asshole

Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

I just saw Sinners on the 70mm IMAX screen at Lincoln Square. This week has been a tough one pour moi, but there’s something ultimately hopeful and gorgeous about Coogler’s approach to cinema and filmmaking. There’s a level of care that goes into his work that almost feels like home.

I'm glad I went to the exhibit when I did.

I get that people have a tendency to lump a lot of stuff in as insider trading that’s still on the “legal” side of the line but isn’t this just like straight up insider trading?

Israel murdered this beautiful soul. Remember Fatima Hassona. Watch and spread the film "Put your soul on your hand and walk". And never stop fighting the mass murdering death machine that is the Israeli state. She was 25.

CPJ has issued a safety advisory for journalists traveling to or entering the US: cpj.org/2025/04/cpj-...

Under pressure from DOGE, nearly all the staff of the Defense Digital Service — the Pentagon’s fast-track tech development arm — are resigning over the coming month. The resignations will effectively shut down the decade-old program after the end of April.

SINNERS: as great as you’ve been hearing these past few days. There is one sequence in particular about letting the right one in I can’t wait to watch again. Biggest screen you can find, etc. Ryan Coogler once again proves he is that old-fashioned “this film is an event” director.

Democrats actually doing something! Maybe there's hope.

The city of Chicago is on track to exhaust the $82 million officials set aside to cover police misconduct settlements and judgments in 2025, just four months into the year, city records show. @wttw.bsky.social

This seems…troubling. “What we are clearly seeing is that with this administration, they are not responding to congressional inquiries.” @nicolefoy.bsky.social

none of Jack or Elon's companies would exist without IP law. Neither of them are offering to give up their patents, trademarks, or other IP. They just hate artists.

a cousin point to my "Make Lying Costly Again" ministry - evidence and good faith warrants for claims are nice

Congresswoman, is it safe for undocumented immigrants to file their taxes? @aoc.bsky.social:

The Bad Bunny NPR Tiny Desk drops tomorrow at noon EST

So proud of American Resisters today! #Handsoff

Ooof.

Eugene Robinson is leaving the Washington Post after 45 years following Jeff Bezos' "significant shift" to the paper's opinion section

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

So simple. Thank you for the leadership on this, Princeton.

I am a natural born cynic, so I could do nothing but cut a side eye at Cory Booker this week. The fundraising text I just received from him did not help me with my distrust of most Dems.

didn’t we used to have a word for this

getting absolutely bodied every day by canada was not on my bingo card

Scoop from @jewishcurrents.bsky.social: The ADL is dropping its anti-bias training, and also "deleted lesson plans on topics such as transgender identity, white privilege, school integration, and the impact of boarding schools on Native Americans." Very clear the org is going hard right.

Trump just signed an executive action aimed at documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and demanding that all ballots be received by Election Day The move is likely to face swift challenges from voting rights organizations

This is the broken-brained white American mythologizing that made a TV show called “Happy Days” that took place during Jim Crow.

So we’ve got two competing schools of what the Democratic Party should do next. One of them is hosting the largest political rallies in history in places like New Hampshire and Arizona, and the other one just got $120 million from Silicon Valley and is on a book tour.

White supremacists hiding the achievements of non-white people is a pretty good indication that they know white people aren’t supreme.

🚫A house belonging to the Jarghoun family was targeted in the Zarea hill, east of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip. 🚫Among the attacks were two apartments in Hamad City, west of Khan Yunis. Very violent bombing. The occupation soldiers are returning with brutality and madness.😭😭

The evidence of this is all around us.

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him. He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving. He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

they told me if i voted for kamala harris that my 401k would take a bath and we would be in a recession. they were right! #trumpcession

Compiling what D Senators are telling constituents in this updating post. Some surprises. Kaine, Warner, Duckworth, Booker: no position Kim: appears to be a hard no Markey: office saying he opposes Elon but will vote Yes on Elon/Trump bill talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/tally-3

Tomorrow in NYC will be sunny & pleasant. This will be important.

Elon talks like a man that hasn’t been punched.

Kidnapping students for thought crimes is not something democracies do. zeteo.com/p/breaking-d...
