The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Humans of New York can often be sentimental claptrap. Yet to the project’s credit, they went to Iran about a decade ago & took a number of stunning portraits. An important reminder that we are bombing ppl and not a β€œregime” or other abstractions we use to avoid a sense of responsibility

that top DOD officials spent the entire day feuding with a tech company and the boy scouts before launching a war in the middle of the night should probably inform your opinion about how well planned and executed this will be

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs.

Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

Following Trump's plan to require English to get a CDL, I think @governor.ca.gov should propose a rule that says truckers in CA have to be bilingual, bc if you can't read Spanish you can't read the street signs.

I mean, how would you find "Los Angeles" if you can't read Spanish?

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

I work in an academic library where patrons can chat with a human librarian 24/7. We use a co-op so librarians across the world help each other when your specific staff are off duty. This is a pretty common service, and it generally provides better info than AI for reference questions. Jusy FYI πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

β€œI Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley Facility Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from.

We'll let their words speak for themselves.

OK. "Regents of the University of California Retirement Plan" should not be invested in the company that flies people to/through torture prison.

Hillary Clinton:

"The Trump administration's position towards Ukraine is disgraceful... The effort that Putin and Trump are making to profit off the misery and death of the Ukrainian people is a historic error and corrupt to the nth degree... He has betrayed the West. He has betrayed human values."

These documents are wild. They explain that members of DOGE (who will be named and shamed) asked ChatGPT to cull all grants that "sounded like DEI."

"The authority the political branches possess over immigration does not include the power to seize liberty first and justify confinement later. Due process is not a courtesy extended at the government's convenience. Due process is the condition that makes custody lawful in the first place.”

Watch 404 Media’s Super Bowl Ad WE BOUGHT A SUPER BOWL AD.
