Pulitzer-worthy reporting here from Minnesota immigrant news @sahanjournal.bsky.social.
70+ children detained during Operation MetroSurge.
30 sent to Dilley. Two dozen held >20 days, a Flores violation.
7 still detained as of March 10. ~20 have been deported.

Rich guy grievance is so pathetic. Retaliating against my unprovoked abuse is the real abuse. Lashing out and then crying as official national policy
Any Dem who runs on a platform of ending every single government contract with Palantir, then hiring a team of experts to undo the damage these fascist dorks have done to our infrastructure, communications and personnel, not only has my vote, but has my donation checks and volunteer hours as well.
The President spent more on bombs in ONE WEEK of his war with Iran than we spend in an entire YEAR to help parents afford child care.
Trump & RFK Jr. are asking to spend $500B more for war—but they won't increase funding for child care by a cent.
as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:
you brought this on yourselves
you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster
you earned this
This is a long think piece, but I argue that Trump's Iran catastrophe may disrupt his efforts to consolidate his authoritarianism, but even more, may provide cause to go after his Tech bro donors and data centers.
The Third Trajectory and Hopes for Rebuilding

This is the third high profile alleged case of this:
Karolyin Leavitt's brother's baby mama
Amanda Ungaro (baby mama to Paolo Zampolli
And this
Leavitt's brother's effort to deport his son's mother thus far has failed AFAIK.
A really easy question to answer, a telling one to get technical on.
He just gave away the whole game
Dead Media! It's adorable and made me feel all warm and fuzzy about the right things. @jamesurbaniak.bsky.social is delightful in it! So is @billcorbett.bsky.social!

Hey, Beshear, Lis Smith, & associated Majority Dem-types:
If you want to kill group-speak, how about we start with “officer-involved shooting,” “ice agent involved-shooting,” “weaponized vehicle” & other mealy-mouthed obfuscations of state-sanctioned murder?
Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.
“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

The postmortem of the *last* big outage shows that it was because they DOS'd themselves through vibecoded slop.
it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.
Over just five days, the justices had decided the issue. Even as they debated the Obama plan’s possible burden on the power industry, in the entire chain of correspondence obtained by The Times, not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.
Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
its just funny to me that the avatar of conservative masculinity is such a moist subservient cuck
This is a momentous story in a lot of ways. One incredible little detail: the Roberts clerk and the Alito clerk who wrote the key memos creating the shadow docket, Joseph Benjamin Tyson III and Barbara S. Grieco, ended up getting married two years later.
the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system
We reviewed an 18-page report detailing the second-by-second surveillance of a trans woman. They followed her as she went in and out of the bathroom, even though she posed 'no threat."
It's one of a bunch of new details in this deep dive that @robertsilverman.bsky.social and I took for @wired.com
OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit
Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here
Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse
Media and universities: AI is here to stay
I think it is preferable to have politicians who have, at some point in their lives, lived like a normal person
It's hard to articulate the level of anger & rage I have about watching this happen. I first saw weev doxx people I love *TWENTY* years ago. I spoke to founders of multiple social networks about the risk of these people over 15 years ago. I wrote about it all a dozen+ years ago. They let it happen.
Some things I wish my fellow americanos understood
• global oil market
• prog tax brackets
• superior efficiency of socialized health insurance
• sincerity is not a guarantee of truth
• subsidizing Israel not make it a “strategic asset”
• our federal constitution is a secular, not holy, document
Here's the article which includes the actual interview in question. Yes, he absolutely said this and yes, it's in context.

Trump officials have been peddling the same lies to survive the daily news cycle for the past 6 weeks, and people keep buying what they’re selling.
‘We won the war. Tomorrow you’ll see. Prices are coming down. Tomorrow you’ll see. We’ll kill them. Tomorrow you’ll see.’
