What the hell are we doing? And why in the world would anyone come here for the World Cup/Olympics? www.miaminewtimes.com/news/immigra...
Trump: "I am allowed to cut off any and all trade…I can destroy the trade, I can destroy the country, I'm even allowed to impose a foreign country destroying embargo…I can do anything I want to do to them…I'm allowed to destroy the country, but I can't charge a little fee."
More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.
Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.
Beautiful and devastating all at once.
Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social on who is in these immigration processing facilities: “It's not these criminals, these violent, hardened criminals that we were promised. It is children, families, and parents being taken from communities.”

The fact that the rules of air defense "had to be relearned over a major American city next to a large international airport should concern anyone who understands how quickly accidents become tragedies."
My almost 105 year old abuelita-in-law is VERY excited for Bad Bunny. She came from the island, and for her entire life, she’s been an American citizen! Voted for FDR! 🇵🇷🇺🇸
#BadBunny's performers continued to dance and party outside the stadium after the #SuperBowl #HalftimeShow
Can't wait to hear how this is deeply un-American
"As sad as it is to admit, the Washington Post is beyond help. The only thing left to us to is build new institutions to take its place. That’s what we’re doing here."
kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them
The CHILDREN?

A lot of the YOUNG GIRLS came from broken homes and poor backgrounds.
Some of them had been abused in their own families.
CHILDREN WERE VIEWED, BASICALLY, AS OBJECTS … THEY WERE VIEWED AS DISPOSABLE CHILDREN."
AUCTIONABLE CHILDREN!!

“Are we more like intelligent machines or conscious, feeling animals?” With the rise of A.I., Michael Pollan thinks we’re approaching a “Copernican moment of redefinition” of how we think about what makes us human. Read, watch or listen to “The Interview.” trib.al/N76vo6S
"To put it in terms Bezos would use, he is no longer a swashbuckling badass. He should sell the Post to someone who is." ICYMI Cameron Barr, former senior managing editor of the Washington Post:
Fascinating account of Assad’s last day in Syria. Suggests he was ultimately a victim of his own over-confidence and self-delusion. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

At about 22m in, Ian McKellan brings the Colbert studio to a total, rapt standstill with this speech, written by Shakespeare 400 years ago, of Thomas More to Londoners rioting over recent immigrants to remember themselves and welcome others. youtu.be/2l2RqzVG4ag?...
Remembering a great & good lady, B.J. Thornberry. She was a force for change in politics & helped shape Colorado during the Romer Administration. She had an outsized influence on my career and I am so grateful for her mentorship.
