There will come a time when people of good faith are empowered to uphold the law.

When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent.

The truth of what Trump and his masked agents are doing in Chicago will be told.
"They had done nothing wrong. They were not protesting. They were not chasing ICE vehicles. They were simply shopping."

Matt DeMateo recounts how three U.S. citizens, including a toddler, were tear gassed in Cicero by federal agents.

To all marveling at photos of NYT columnist David Brooks dining with Jeffrey Epstein, 2 years after Epstein finished his sentence for procuring a child for prostitution, here's what it was: the 2011 "Edge Billionaire's Dinner". Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos were there too. 1/

Absolute bullshit, and authors, if Harlequin has your foreign rights, you should also complain.
French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.

All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social.

The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others.

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.
These are the people who are willing to go on the record.

I am so sorry to learn Emily Taylor resigned her position at Presbyterian College due to people like Luke Rankin taking issue with a woman expressing herself. One of my daughters is an alum of PC. This is a disappointment for the female alumni. #NotGoingBack!

Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.

28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

Heavy rains have deepened Gaza's misery, flooding tents in which many thousands of people are huddled, exposed to winter. A baby recently died of hypothermia.

Israel continues to restrict humanitarian aid, including tents. Nothing but silence from Trump. We must not forget Gaza.

It will not be feasible to just declare stuff he did (i.e., judicial appointments) null and void by fiat by citing this, but it should be the frame going forward for *aggressively* using every legal means possible to purge govt of every legacy of Trumpism & ostracize/punish regime enablers. (2/2)

Live in Hampshire? You might have a view on whether any of your council tax should go towards buying ads on X.

Lots and lots of other ways to reach audiences with paid spend, Hants. And I never go there so that the fact I'm served this ad means your spend is being wasted.

In this story, I reported how counter-terror police warned the Palestine Action ban was creating "a lot of noise in the system that risks detracting from our core mission"

🔴I've spent the last week speaking to aid workers and migrants in northern France who've been attacked by dogs and racially abused by the far-right.

This is a new phenomenon - Raise the Colours have made five trips to Calais & Dunkirk in the last month - and they're becoming increasingly volatile.
The ‘Raise the Colours’ campaign, widely praised by politicians and commentators as a "grassroots" campaign for "unity" has now pivoted to harassing migrants and charity workers on the beaches of France.

Activists were seen stabbing dinghies and releasing dogs to intimidate migrant and aid workers
