As @pabloreports.bsky.social says, every journalist should be speaking out for Estefany Rodriguez here in Nashville.

It Wasn't Fascism All Along Conservatism was a distinct ideology but it is dead and it is not coming back.

"I think there is a feeling that there will always be a force resembling conservatism, so it is our responsibility to ensure it’s a mostly benign thing. The assumption itself is a conservative one that liberals have no reason to accept." www.liberalcurrents.com/it-wasnt-fas...

Unemployment is up, consumer prices are up, lawlessness by the federal government is up, sadism is up, folly is up, so is stupidity. And Donald Trump imagines he should be deciding Iran’s next leader and can simply demand “unconditional surrender.”

@reuters.com story on Estefany Maria Rodriguez Flores. She is the Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

ICE has her now.

the "blankie" is the key word here

Jayapal to Noem: "None of these four US citizens were charged with a crime, none had their citizenship questioned, and all were lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights. Do you have anything you want to say to them?"

Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”

Ansari: "The DOJ was caught red handed withholding explosive and credible FBI witness interviews of a woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor. Shouldn't we hold hearings on that? Shouldn't Pam Bondi be here, forced to testify about why she's violating the law?"

They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.

They should just stop the message at “do not rely on the US”

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Tbh I’m annoyed that so much of the sexism targeted towards my candidacy is about painting me as an influencer rather than a journalist.

It COMPLETELY erases my bartending career.

Israeli officials say the Ayatollah Khameimi, Iran’s Supreme Leader, has been killed. If so, expect a wider conflict and the holy war that Christian extremists like Hegseth want.

Trump’s entire cabinet is an assortment of evil weirdos.

(it could still happen...)

I hate that we are living in times where it feels the only thing we can do is triage those affected. Where charity is the only weapon against the worst people in the world. But if you can fix something for someone today, please do it. A lot of folks are asking for help, maybe throw them some.

They trained for 47 days and get to wear military uniforms?!?!

911 calls capture kids burning with fever, struggling to breathe at ICE detention center EMS crews were called to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas at least 11 times since September for children in medical distress, records show.

NEW: We obtained 911 audio from the Texas detention center housing hundreds of immigrant kids and their parents.

Since mid-September, EMS crews have been dispatched to Dilley at least 11 times to treat children in medical distress.

Burning fevers. Low oxygen. Seizures. A broken leg.
