When ICE found 11-year-old Andrés, he was living with his dad. But the agency treated him as "unaccompanied" and sent him to foster care. @samanthamichaels.bsky.social and @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social show how similar scenes are playing out across the country. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICE is now separating children from their parents and deeming them “unaccompanied.”

Brendan Carr is illegally destroying U.S. media consolidation limits so that Trump-friendly local broadcast TV companies (Sinclair, Nexstar, Tegna) can all merge and pummel local TV news consumers with propaganda. This is even pissing off major cable companies, who say it's unfair to them:

Really sad to see the Ohio Democrats choose bigotry over winning elections. There’s solid data on this (breezy post-24 commentary isn’t data): transphobia makes Democrats lose. Amy Acton and the ODP are choosing bigotry over flipping Ohio. Really damn sad.

Democrats’ big election wins showed they don’t need to hide their support for trans rights

Republicans repeated Trump's anti-trans strategy from 2024 and lost big. This should be instructive for Democrats.
