🚨Reports around the country today that some people who showed up for their immigration court hearings were told that ICE prosecutors had dismissed their cases — and then were arrested moments later by ICE officers and taken to detention centers for unknown reasons. Happening in multiple cities.

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

Best idea I’ve seen in the “liberal Joe Rogan” discourse:

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

Really good point

America is becoming a true multi-cultural Democracy. Everything the Republican Party is doing with Trump & Musk undermines who we ALL are. The goal for them is to subordinate the MAJORITY of us who do not buy into the white patriarchal supremacist rule they want to re-establish. I dissent!

A Boulder company with a patented method to take most of the carbon emissions out of the energy-intensive iron and steelmaking process will use $8 million from the inaugural state industrial tax credit to build a manufacturing plant in Jefferson County.

Trump—whose own kids were raised in literal golden splendor—is in no position to lecture Americans about accepting scarcity created by his own policies.

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

The PBS Kids app is one of the few things you can trust your kids to play around with on a computer. All the shows that you can stream are good and entertaining. Nothing positive comes from getting rid of this, they're just trying to make life worse for everyone www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...

"To date, the Trump Administration has refused to share the names of the men it has sent to El Salvador. The current list, which is the result of reporting by CBS news and whose accuracy the government still won’t confirm, is incomplete. 'Ghosts' is how one attorney described her clients."

In case you missed it, Lambda Legal filed a federal lawsuit in D. Md. challenging Exec. directives requiring passports to reflect gender assigned at birth, even for people who have had birth certificates corrected/have held passports with their corrected gender. lambdalegal.org/wp-content/u...

Just incredible

Something I missed earlier: The House Judiciary bill would allow migrant children to be detained in unlicensed facilities. Story below.

well, that didn't take long ...
