The U.S. media misses a big angle of the #Haiti story. Our State Department, under both parties, contributed to the crisis there -- which raises our moral obligation to stop deporting #Haitians to terrible danger. My report @newrepublic.com. @garrettepps.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2138...
BREAKING federal judge allows Trump administration to end temporary protection for 350,000+ Haitians in the U.S. Employers are laying off healthcare workers, housekeepers, landscapers, bus drivers, security guards in Miami, Boston, other cities DHS is fitting migrants with ankle monitors
TPS for Haitians officially ends, putting thousands out of work and in limbo
A federal judge allowed the Trump administration to terminate temporary protected status for 350,000 Haitians, meaning they are likely to lose their jobs and be at risk of deportation.

A lot has happened — more meddling— since 2021. Exacerbating crisis, increasing U.S. responsibility
James North@jamesnorth7.bsky.social · yesterdayThe U.S. State Department, under both Democrats and the GOP, contributed to the awful crisis in #Haiti.

How Washington Failed the Haitians It Promised to Protect
Years of misrule and misdeeds conspired to break the island nation and serve up its endangered refugees to the despicable predations of the Trump administration.

Not enough. The Elon Musk budget cuts designed to kill Africans are mostly still in effect. The U.S. did restore $2 billion to global health -- but Trump has already spent $37.5 billion on the war against #Iran. @garrettepps.bsky.social @jfallows.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/h...
U.S. Restores Some Vaccine and Health Aid to Unicef, Gavi and World Food Programme
The amount is still far below what the U.S. spent previously on humanitarian and health aid, but resumes the flow of money for key efforts to fight malnutrition and disease.

Astonishing, and another sign of mainstream media malpractice. Why is Donald Trump more critical about the huge profits that #Chevron (and #Exxon and the others) are making off the #Iran war -- instead of reporters at #CNN and the #NYTimes? @antoniajuhasz.bsky.social @sdonziger.bsky.social
Haitian TPS holders walk out with a fitted ankle monitors after mandatory ICE office check in at Blue Ash Ohio facility. After Supreme Court decision to terminal Temporary Protective Status, many Haitian community members received notices to appear at the location.

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but the sitting president has all but declared war on states that didn’t vote for him, and I feel like the media should be talking about that every once in a while, right?
U.S. air attacks on #Iran are destroying bridges and other infrastructure. #Iranian civilians are suffering. All because Donald Trump can't admit that #Israel helped trick him into a war he can't "win." @mondoweiss.net www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...
Trump’s infrastructure strikes leave Iran’s economy battered
U.S. attacks, with threats of more to come if talks fail, are adding to economic pain that Tehran is betting it can outlast.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Max Blumenthal was in Gaza during last year’s ferocious Israeli assault, and his book tells truths that are missing from the New York Times. Even those of us who followed Israel’s attack as it…

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 7d agoNEW: Under Bari Weiss, CBS News has shifted to the right to try to grab some of Fox News' audience. Not only have they failed to do that, but they've driven off so much of their core audience that CBS Mornings is now perilously close to getting beaten by Fox & Friends. zeteo.com/p/mamdani-de...

Jamelle Bouie: "Why Do We Tolerate Elon Musk’s Racist Commentary?" Musk's racist radicalisation - he is promoting remigration + openly endorsing violence against anybody who opposes it - still tends to be seen as a peripheral bolt-on to his techno-utopianism. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/o...
