St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.

“If they don’t attack us—kill our children, we won’t attack their diesel.” - Volodymr Zelenskyy The leader of a democratic nation shouldn’t have to beg America to not fund the war killing its children. The time is long past to choose good over evil. We should be ashamed of our leaders.

Stupid, Ignorant, Uninformed, And Corrupt…. Trump: "We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting." He's right – except for the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Canada, India, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Russia, and 22 other countries.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Gas went up under Biden because Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Then they gradually went down in 2023/2024. Gas then went back up because Trump started a war of choice with Iran that he’s losing after being persuaded by Netanyahu and Hegseth. Blaming Biden right now is absurd.

When we think about energy demand, we should think about social utility. Yes, AC will increase energy demand but it is also necessary to save lives. AC has social utility. Hyperscaled data centers do not. We should prioritize one (AC) over the other (AI slop)

The Trump family said they were “debanked” for political reasons after Jan. 6—and used that to justify going hard into crypto. Turns out Capital One flagged them for money laundering. And then Blanche wrote the memo shielding the Trump family from IRS audits? Hm.

Ryan Grim wants Dr. Fauci prosecuted because we didn't know everything about COVID-19 a month after it was discovered.
Ryan Grim: "I guess people are over this but Fauci should still be prosecuted for this deception. In his diary in January 2020, he says that the wet market was a super spreader but not the origin — yet publicly he claimed exactly the opposite. 

Tens of millions died and world history was upended. And not a single lesson learned except some wrong ones."

We're going to see a lot of reporting about the people ICE has hired over the next few years, but it's hard to imagine how it could get much worse than this.
Brouillette, 37, told his ex-wife Ashley Brouillette late last year that he had been hired by ICE. She said that because of his long history of psychiatric issues, she thought he was having a mental health episode and she didn’t believe him. She didn’t realize he’d been telling the truth until this week, when videos began circulating online of the moments surrounding the shooting.
