Today in Baltimore, We Proved This Fight Is Working DHS went to court to defend their ICE warehouse plan and walked away with a judge openly laughing at their argument.

"Over the past several months, our community has built a blueprint that other communities can use when federal agencies attempt to move detention infrastructure into their neighborhoods..."

Trump’s antipathy for Pope may have roots in childhood Protestant church Manhattan church led by Norman Vincent Peale was known for opposing presidency of JFK – and Catholics in general

Oh come on @theguardian.com, no need to over analyze this. It's about one thing: the Pope criticized him. There's nothing deeper or religious about it.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

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.”

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

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.

Remember, the current administration wants(ed) to kill these vaccines. They are an enemy of science and we should never forget that.

Thou shalt round up the billionaire pedophiles and put them all in Alligator Alcatraz.

Thou shalt shut down Fox News, NewsMax, and OAN.

Thou shalt ban assault weapons.

Deaths of migrants in ICE custody hit record high under Trump Twenty-nine people have died in ICE custody since October, the start of the federal government's fiscal year, already surpassing 2004's toll of 28, the previous record, according to government data.

Italy passed a law that allows up to 3 days off to care for ill pets.

"Those taxes you just paid? The money is going straight into Trump's pocket" would be good messaging

Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich

Well, today we're taxing the rich...

Whistleblower says Trump officials thought USAID did 'just abortions,' asked for 'Barney-style' slides before gutting agency, per new book Read an exclusive excerpt from Nicholas Enrich's "Into the Wood Chipper"

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.

'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

The Secretary of State attending a UFC fight while wartime diplomatic negotiations fail would generate an explosive, front-page, above-the-fold headline for any previous administration

As little as I already thought of the man I'm in awe of what he's accomplished in 15 short months. Historic run. Basically threw away all his fire extinguishers and told every firefighter in town to eat shit, and then set his house on fire. We need a separate Mount Rushmore for morons

Federal crimes only right? States can still go after every one of these horrible people.

A photographer’s view of ICE’s relentless courthouse arrests The shattering of faith in America's goodness is the hardest part to watch.

How are you supposed to know if this is the time to call your kid two states away and say "come home; I want us to be together when the nukes start falling."

I mean, that 2018 ICBM false alert in Hawaii - it could have been real, it could have been false... at this point who the fuck knows?

Thinking about how much trust has been eroded (more) in just the past 48 hours. In the world of disaster science, trust is so important for motivating people to take action. If its all bullshit and bluster all the time, how the fuck are you supposed to know that it's a real threat?

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Brutal.

This is the sort of clip you see in the opening minutes of a deeply dystopian film

CNN: "In the initial statement from DHS, they said these two migrants had attacked the ICE agents in Minneapolis with the shovel, but what this video shows is this was not the case ... the two ICE agents made false statements under oath."

Tucker Carlson: "It's vile. It begins w/ a promise to use the US military to commit a war crime. Those people who are in direct contact w/ the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, bc this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out'"

Do you know how EXTREMELY FUCKED UP SHIT HAS TO BE for me to be reposting Tucker Carlson positively???

So is this the time to share those crazy-ass messages with tRump supporting family members? Or no? I’d be afraid to find out that they’re all in on genocide. But maybe this is a line they don’t cross.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

God help us.

Oh my gods.

How the media must cover this madman president My three suggestions—with illustrations—since 'sane-washing' is far too mild a term

“It comes down to this: The press, because of its own conventions and time-honored practices, normalizes him, and thus fails to get across the extreme nature of this president’s behavior. Ten years of sane-washing have had their effect. He remains in power, reelected, undeterred.”

Yes.

But it's not ignorance, or magical thinking, or ideological blinders. Not primarily.

It's predatory delay.

It's the intentional sabotage of science and policy to make climate action harder and thereby prolong the profits of oil, gas and other high-carbon and unsustainable industries.
