A good read if, like me, you feel you are trying your best and your best is simply not good enough.

Anyone who has ever thought the local cops will ever interfere with ICE deportations on behalf of their own communities is a daydreaming fool. State power is not on your side, and the people who enforce it are traitors to their communities.

The AP’s Nicole Winfield says Francis’s nickname for her – “la prima della classe” – wasn’t necessarily a compliment. It was, in fact, the greatest compliment. Wonderful piece that offers much insight into Francis, the Vatican and reporter-pope relations (free to read) apnews.com/article/pope...

A year of hate: what I learned when I went undercover with the far right

I've decided to share this image of the top of the cable in case it's helpful to other journalists looking to follow up on my reporting:

The women’s health initiative has followed tens of thousands of women for more than 30 years and provided invaluable information on topics like hormone replacement and cancer. Jay Bhattacharya cutting this program will not only hurt women, it’s also just a colossal waste to lose such an investment.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

An undocumented immigrant father was arrested by immigration agents Thursday as he was taking his daughter to school in California.

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.

Every state in the union should join Arizona and Michigan in helping their citizens report when they're experiencing problems with Social Security services.

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

@maddow.msnbc.com Happy anniversary. Enjoy your date night.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

Yep
