- ‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’
- What is it about these Newsom shills that don’t understand that when people say we will NEVER vote for Newsom, we absolutely mean that. I will never vote for Newsom. Not in a hundred years. Not in a million years. Nothing you could possibly say would get me to change that.
- These 2 kids detained last week were brought back to MN today. But school officials say many others from the Columbia Heights district are missing. They're not sure if they're in ICE detention or have moved away with their families. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
- The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.
- Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer. Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!
- fuckin brutal lol
- OMG. He literally went with "they were no angels" which is the mocking phrase people use to point out how authorities try to minimize their law enforcement executions. And he's using it earnestly because he doesn't realize how it's actually used.
- I just the man has a crown on his head in a world of No Kings centrists are getting at me for refusing to vote for a guy who makes racists jokes to score political points while wearing A FUCKING CROWN on his head

View full threadThis world ain't a fantasy novel. Sometimes things become much, much, much worse. Newsom vs Vance, who do you choose?
- Fucking neither. I will absolutely not vote for either candidate under any circumstances.

- I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.
- Former executive editor @postbaron.bsky.social says the Post is "a case study in near-instant, self-inflicted brand destruction." www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
- We at the @postguild.bsky.social are raising money for the hundreds of journalists the Post just laid off. This goes to the people who are hurting, not the Post. Or if you'd rather, go subscribe to an independent journalist. Support is hugely appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t...

- Yes. Yes! Thank you
- URGENT! We've negotiated that if ICE commits a crime, they should tell us afterwards if they have time to do so. This is how we win. If you're in a position to support, we need you now more than ever. Please consider chipping in today to restore dignity to our secret police activities.

- My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power
- NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:
- Find you a newspaper that loves reporting as much as The New York Times loves lionizing fascist propagandists and terrorists.
- As terrible as what is happening right now to journalism, we actually should dismantle the romantic myths we have of the press in America. I teach in my class about colonial press censorship, and then how the independent press was a tool for the wealthy, white power holders to maintain dominance.

- This is one of the reasons I have said that protecting neighbors from being kidnapped or beaten without due process IS the strategy for voting. This isn't about "immigration" whatever they say. It's about eradicating people of color from public life.

- ✨ COVER REVEAL ✨ I am THRILLED to share the cover for my debut novel, a horror about what happens to a Palestinian home after decades of occupation, and the lives of three Palestinian women who are connected to it. Coming September 22, 2026 - preorder here: linktr.ee/deenahelm
- lizzo done lost her damn mind.
- phoebe robinson makes it plain.
- My time with The Washington Post is up. I was laid off with hundreds of folks I am so honored to call my colleagues. I covered it all at The Post (really), so now I'm looking for my next adventure. ➡️ kbellware [at] gmail dot com Website update coming soon @postguild.bsky.social forever
- "Protesting isn't risky" At Standing Rock during NODAPL, people were being locked in cages, sprayed with water canons in freezing temps, beaten, hit with chemical weapons, rubber bullets, flash granades/other non-letheal granades, etc. A woman almost lost her arm from a flash grenade.
- The mass layoffs at the Washington Post feel worse than the ones made during 2020, especially after the ones at NBC News, CBS, and the WSJ. So many smart and experienced people will leave the industry forever.
- A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.
- all the creators in the world will never fill the hole created by the degradation and loss of media institutions, despite all their problems
- I went to college with Aliya. Here, she speaks to Congress about being assaulted by ICE in Minneapolis, pulled violently out of her car, and taken to detention, where she blacked out. "You have no reason to believe you will make it out alive if you already being called a body."
