The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

We're continuing to report on sports betting apps, and we need your help. ProPublica is looking for at least 250 people who use DraftKings and FanDuel to share their data with us and help us understand how the apps respond to user behavior. ➡️ How to help: projects.propublica.org/sports-betti...
A neon green tracker shows that ProPublica has received 28 people's sports betting data, just over 10% of the way towards its goal of 250. Text below reads: If you’re one of millions of Americans who have placed an online bet on a sporting event, you know how quickly you can go from celebrating your wins to feeling like the odds are stacked against you.

ProPublica is trying to understand how sports betting apps incentivize users to keep playing and when they warn users to pump the brakes. To do that, we need your help: We’re aiming for at least 250 people to upload their gambling history from apps like FanDuel and DraftKings. We’re not quite there yet, so if you’ve used these apps, you can help our journalists. If you’ve worked in the industry, you can also help us by answering a few questions. (You can also reach us on Signal.)

The “him” in my post is Pierre, the man who died. Folks out here so riled up they lose their reading comprehension skills

It’s Pierre, as the quote just below says. And if you had read the article you would have found a very detailed, sympathetic profile of him.

The article says ‘24 was his first and only Trump vote and he’s otherwise a “lifelong Democrat.” There are some persuadable people out there.

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Yes. Congressmembers can invest in broad index funds, like many regular people do via their 401(k). If a congressmember is beating the market picking stocks, it’s hard to believe they aren’t illegally using insider information.

Hard to believe they’re actually “dissatisfied“ with the war if they won’t vote to end it. Voting is a Senator’s whole job — feelings they tell reporters are meaningless.

I think it was a contest among his staff to see which one of them could get him to say some specific dumb thing in a speech first. Now of course the winning staffer can’t believe he keeps saying it.

Convincing young people that America is poor & no one can afford anything & everyone is living paycheck to paycheck & their economic future is doomed ... IS NOT GOING TO LEAD TO MORE PROGRESSIVE POLICY. People who feel anxious & under threat do not respond with openness & generosity! Look it up!

I wish polls like this would report % of respondents identifying with each party. Party membership isn’t immutable and I’d expect some Trump disapprovers to switch from Rep to Ind.

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.
