some people questioned Ras Baraka and others for spending so much political capital on wresting back control of Newark Public Schools from the Zuck-Booker-Christie public-private partnership mess but can you imagine what Zuck'd be doing to a majority-Black city's schools right now

reporting on this has really got to get better about communicating the magnitude of the breach here. if you read the nyt article with minimal context, you would have no sense that this was watergate-level impeachable misconduct

Proud to lead all our NJ Dems to demand RFK Jr. stop his attacks on a program that helps over 240,000 NJ households get heating and cooling. HHS must reinstate the workers who provide LIHEAP, protect this essential service, and ensure no delays. People’s lives depend on it.

The Mets are 11-1 with a 2.08 ERA at Citi Field so far this season. The rotation hasn't given up a home run here yet, and they've only allowed 10 total this season, the fewest in the league. The starting staff hasn't given up a home run in 11 games. They're absolutely rolling right now.

I'm pleased/impressed to find that this quote attributed to the late Pope Francis (and dated just a few days ago) is authentic: "Today’s builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of Hell."

Crazy what this family is going through. This woman’s husband has been trafficked to a foreign prison; Trump is spreading what appear to be lies about him from the Oval Office, using doctored photos; she and her disabled small kids have had to leave home after the US gov effectively doxxed them

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —Arrested at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

It’s beyond hilarious that one of Pope Francis’s last official acts was sending a trusted associate to scold JD Vance for his absolute inhumanity. That’s getting lost in the whole meeting and then dying part but let’s honor a true hater for his service.

When I met with Mohsen Mahdawi today, we spoke about how appreciative he is to have the support of so many people in Vermont. He said one of the reasons he wanted to become a citizen was because of his belief in American democracy. He hopes that justice will prevail in his case.

I just met with Mohsen Mahdawi where he’s being held in Vermont. He was detained when he showed up for his citizenship interview. He should be released so he can become a citizen.

Once again. These are human traffickings, not fucking DEPORTATIONS! Deportation means you're sent back to where you came from. After a hearing/due process. You're not sent to a foreign prison forever with no hearing whatsoever.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.
