Karoline Leavitt @PressSec. 1h President Trump monitored the situation overnight at Mar a Lago alongside members of his national security team. The President spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu by phone. Prior to the attacks, Secretary Rubio called all members of the gang of eight to provide congressional notification, and he was able to reach and brief seven of the eight members. The President and his national security team will continue to closely monitor the situation throughout the day. 2.8K 4.6K 30K 1.3M
Donald Trump using Mar A Lago, a civilian establishment with no significant air defences, as a military command centre.
Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.
You are not forgotten over here! I’m relieved to see your posts again. For any difference it might make, I’m sending you best wishes.
A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
Yes, this is hideous.
Terrific #documentary, “The Piccirilli Factor,” by Eduardo Montes-Bradley, about six #Italian #immigrant stone carver/sculptor brothers working in the Bronx who made some of NYC's most beloved sculptures.

"...a story that’s told at the exclusion of much deeper stories."
Friends, take a break and read this very funny, insightful essay from @bgfirmani.bsky.social about that awful movie #Nonnas.
Just lovely to see that Ben Ratliff's thoughtful, generous, sui generis RUN THE SONG: Writing About Running About Listening made the National Book Awards Long List for Nonfiction. Go Ben! @graywolfpress.bsky.social #nationalbookaward #booksky

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.
Lots to discover here, friends. Dive in!
Nothing motivates like death. Keep going!
I love Caligo, by the way. Your work is always surprising, always deep.
This is lovely stuff, folks. And check out Vols. 2 & 3 for even more.
Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."
So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?
#amreading FLOATING IN A MOST PECULIAR WAY by Louis Chude-Sokei, born in the short-lived nation of #Biafra in West Africa, raised in #Jamaica, reunited with his mother in the US. A complex #memoir of displacement and trauma, told slantwise with the insight of many years. Loved this #book. #booksky
US troops sleeping on concrete
Donald Trump forcing US troops to sleep on the ground in the scorching heat in Los Angeles, since he made 0 arrangements to house or feed them and only wanted to use them as props for his fascist porn and political manipulation.
MAGA will say "I voted for this"🤡
Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back.
This is only going to get worse.
#nowreading the great Don DeLillo's THE ANGEL ESMERALDA. The moving, troubling title story got folded into UNDERWORLD. DeLillo was born within a month of Francis, kindest #pope of my lifetime. He'll be 89 this year. Can this brilliant writer please get a #Nobel before he departs the planet? #booksky
Seen on E. 4th St in #NYC ... so creepy and good ... signed CRKSHNK ... reminds me of the scathing photomontages of the great anti-Nazi, antifascist German #artist John Heartfield: www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti... #Resist #FascistsBoundToLose

Attorneys representing the affected students say that many lost their visas without any prior notice, explanation, or chance to respond. Some were forced to abruptly leave the country after making the discovery through a federal database, or via unexpected text messages or emails.
