ICE fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He was not the person they were looking for. Now they're trying to force witnesses out of the country

Juan Proaño on the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo: There were three others with him in that vehicle. Those individuals are now being pressured to sign self-deportation orders. They’re trying to get rid of them as witnesses as well.

The conduct depicted in this story—involving a storied Wall Street law firm—is astounding and appalling to me in so many ways I find it difficult to count.

The boss said the law firm wouldn't help Trump in his E. Jean Carroll case. Now it is—and that’s deepening a rift among partners. on.wsj.com/4pi2GcK

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

The same Republicans who were hysterical when asked to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID19 have no problem wearing masks to spread their White Nationalist Christian hatred.

In an unprecedented act of dissent, active-duty USAF Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps after calling for the impeachment & removal of Donald Trump. Risking his career to uphold his constitutional oath, his arrest marks a historic moment. ✊🏻✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊🏽

Phang: Inside his order, Judge Sullivan said that I am likely to succeed on the merits of my lawsuit, which speaks to the bigger success. Because the ultimate goal is the entirety of the Epstein files being produced, including the shit that Blanche continues to sit on…

So, do I have this right? We’re removing artificial colors from M&Ms but giving immunity to companies that poison us?

BREAKING: AOC just introduced the AI Data Center Moratorium Act, which bans the construction of data centers until Congress addresses all impacts of AI on our society and planet. 💪 I support this 💯 U.S. DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS

Justice Alito’s son works inside Trump’s Treasury. Alito ruled on a case where Treasury was the defendant and didn’t recuse. The WSJ says calling this out is “attacking the Court.” No. Federal law requires recusal when impartiality “might reasonably be questioned.”

I have been informed that this is the wisdom of @clairewillett.bsky.social ! Credit where credit is due.

"I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody." -- Donald J. Trump "I don't want to hear about affordability. The affordability crisis is a hoax." -- Donald J. Trump "No one gives a shit about housing." -- Donald J. Trump Getting it yet, America?

if a person is sentenced to 100 years in prison for being anti fascist in america then america is a fascist country

In this era of unprecedented corruption, it is essential that we keep our terminology precise.

The sequence of events with Trump's reflecting pool fiasco follows a pattern characteristic of many of the president’s projects and policies. While the steps may occur in different orders, they end in the same place: failure, with regular people paying the price.

The Reflecting Pool mess is right out of Trump's destructive playbook

Like other failed beautification projects, the president's ego trip will cost taxpayers millions.

Ramirez: He’s literally siccing the troops on a microscopic organism. He is sending the National Guard to the Reflecting Pool to arrest people who touch the water. It’s absurd. And also, he’s killing the baby ducklings.

That time "God, I can *still* smell him" was said in several languages.

The motivations and dynamics behind such billionaire-backed political pressure reveal a complex web of interests: Starmer and U.K. ministers have openly condemned Musk for using his network to "whip up division" during public civil unrest—such as sharing protest locations or exacerbating

When a trillionaire wants a PM out, as Musk has been publicly campaigning for in the UK, greater scrutiny is needed regarding the motivations, actions, and independence of the opposition outside and inside the party.
