Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx. 

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

Alligator Alcatraz phones were cut off. Then the beatings began, court docs say Attorneys say the Trump and DeSantis administrations are disregarding a court order requiring access to phones and attorneys for detainees.

The Constitution and a court order both say that the Everglades detention facility must allow people access to their attorneys.

Instead of complying, guards are cutting off people’s phone access and beating people who speak up.

New York City police arrested about 100 demonstrators after more than 300 anti-war protesters staged a sit-in outside the Manhattan offices of U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, calling on them to support an expected Senate vote blocking additional U.S. weapons sales to Israel.

Hungary has chosen Europe.

Europe has always chosen Hungary.

A country reclaims its European path.

The Union grows stronger.

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

I am proud to be Hungarian.
We were able to bring down a massive, seemingly invincible authoritarian regime. Honestly? I can hardly believe it. Thanks to everyone who helped us do this in Europe and elsewhere 🙏🏻

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Concedes Defeat After 'Painful' Election Result Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Concedes Defeat After 'Painful' Election Result

The result ends the powerful far-right figure's 16-year reign that supported Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

President of the EU Commission:

for sure, congratulations to magyar. but the real heroes imo are those in civil society & journalism & rank-and-file opposition & academia who have fought against the disintegration of rule of law, the weaponization of the courts/media, & so much more for so long. 🇭🇺

Is America contagious? Scholars in political extremism are documenting the global spread of right-wing populism.

Orban’s defeat also removes a major part of the far-right populist infrastructure worldwide, which I wrote about this fall: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Whatever happens, this is a deeply shameful episode in American history that will leave a permanent stain on the country.

Repeatedly vowing to commit war crimes against millions of innocent civilians is beyond the pale.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Saying you plan to destroy a “whole civilization” is an explicitly genocidal threat.

Screenshot of a post on Truth Social by President Trump that starts off by saying about Iran, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”

These are the ramblings of a president who has completely lost control.

To speak of war crimes so casually is disgusting and extremely dangerous.

The press continues to sane-wash an obviously INSANE American president. 😳👇

‘Power and Dominance’: Atlantic and Times Champion Transphobia  — Assigned The genocidal campaign against trans people is not being led by right-leaning news outlets, our analysis shows. Two elite media institutions are leading the charge.

When it comes to elite tastemaking, the Atlantic and the New York Times are unparalleled. That's why it's so concerning that both outlets are committed to an anti-trans political project.

"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think what’s going on in our country — what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS

Striking Down Pentagon Press Limits, Judge Vindicates Independent Journalism

“Those who drafted the First Amendment believed that the nation’s security requires a free press &an informed people&that such security is endangered by governmental suppression of political speech…That principle has preserved the nation’s security for almost 250 years. It must not be abandoned now”

If the ID I use to drive and fly, it’s not enough to vote, that’s voter suppression and a poll tax
