Under ceasefire deal, Hamas had until Mon midnight to hand over all hostages to Israel — 20 alive and 28 deceased. Hamas has returned 4 bodies to Israel, but 1 was not that of a hostage, per Israeli military.

Israel announced today it will restrict aid to Gaza due to the delayed release of remains

A 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts was detained by local police on Thursday. When his mother arrived to pick him up, she learned that her son had instead been taken into ICE custody and later transferred to a juvenile facility in Virginia, more than 500 miles away.

I thought they said it was wrong for an administration to ask a social media platform to take stuff down.

Seems to me, the people who really hate America are the ones who think "No Kings" is a controversial message.

This administration keeps torching the Hatch Act—propaganda videos in airports, partisan emails on federal servers, even mass firings. It’s corruption with a flag pin. See something? Say something. Expose it through the whistleblower tip line.

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

Protesters in Portland showing up in costume embody joy as resistance. If those who oppress us can be absurd, so can those fighting for freedom. Humor and creativity remind us that rebellion isn’t only anger—it’s the courage to laugh, to dance, and to exist loudly in the face of control. #Pinks

If the GOP is voting yes to paying troops and federal workers, and the GOP has the majority in both the House and Senate, then why aren’t the troops and federal workers being paid?
And, how have we lost critical thinking as a skill in the US???

Thank you. We stand with you. The American people want healthcare. We also don’t want the government to be shutdown. And the great majority of us understand that the Democrats did not shut the government down, nor are they refusing to negotiate. Keep standing. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege

The 15 year old girl who was dragged from her car by ICE had recently had kidney surgery.

She was thrown to the ground despite screaming “I’m not resisting”

She had to return to the hospital.

These aggressive tactics will disable. They will kill.

They must be held accountable.

Videos taken by eye witnesses of federal agent encounters with immigrants in Chicago and elsewhere have shown increasingly tense incidents. Immigrant advocates and observers say they're indicative of a larger trend of aggression among federal immigration officers.

A massive storm that brought a record storm surge to Alaska was poorly forecast, and “this is one of the clearest possible examples to date where missing upper air soundings due to NWS constraints may have led to a degraded forecast.”

Sunday a massive storm surge event from the remnants of Typhoon Halong caused catastrophic damage in remote western Alaska. Thanks to @alaskawx.bsky.social for his help with this deep dive, including the forecast challenges in an area dealing with reduced NWS upper air soundings

Historic coastal flooding strikes western Alaska

Remnants of Typhoon Halong produce hurricane force winds and push massive storm surge inland in Kuskokwim River Delta, destroying and carrying away homes, leaving devastated communities.

When you get followed by scores of accounts with follower/following ratios like this who have never interacted with any of your posts before, all within the same 10-minute window, that's clearly gotta be inauthentic coordinated behavior. It's been happening in waves over the last two days.
