three ridiculous headlines caught my eye in my Pocket spread, including:

- "Dump says he believes bombing of Iranian girls' school was 'done by Iran'"
- "Dump salutes as 6 soldiers killed are transferred back" and makes no mention of the cult hat he wore, outraging the Gold Star families he created
- "Dump says he's not interested in negotiations" from USA Today and my question is: how is that a headline and who gives a shit

We still Ned to keep our eyes on Minnesota, even with every thing else. This a worthwhile read and not too long.

“One of the most concerning findings of the study is the longer-term effects of X’s algorithmic feed. The study showed the algorithm nudged users towards following more right-leaning accounts, and that the new following patterns endured even after switching back to the chronological feed.”

Claudette Colvin was 15 when she refused to give up her seat. A child was asked to accept injustice. She refused.

History didn’t spotlight her the way it should have. Courage came first.

Civil rights pioneer who helped ignite the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Cambodian national dies in ICE custody in Indiana A detainee died in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Indiana on Monday, with the cause of death under investigation, ICE said on Wednesday, marking at least the seventh death ...

A Cambodian man -- old enough to have survived Pol Pot genocide but too young to die -- is the 7th person to die in ICE custody this year.

A Cuban man died of asphyxia in Jan, with witnesses saying guards killed him. A Palestinian woman was shackled after a seizure.

NEW: One year ago, we caught a peek of MAGA authoritarianism when men roughly dragged a woman named Teresa out of an Idaho town hall.

This is the story behind that viral video and the radicalization of the community where it happened.

Gaza death toll in early part of war far higher than reported, says Lancet study Research suggests more than 75,000 killed in the first 16 months of conflict, 25,000 more than announced at the time

More than 75K. “The combined evidence suggests that, as of 5 January 2025, 3-4% of the population of the Gaza Strip had been killed violently and there have been a substantial number of non-violent deaths caused indirectly by the conflict”

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.
