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) ⬇️

Doesn't have to be your trial, friend's burial, or religion you believe in. Go to random trials, attend a stranger's burial, join multiple religions. Try it sometime.

Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org

WASHINGTON — Women accounted for 100 percent of the decline in the labor force in July, according to a National Women’s Law Center jobs analysis of monthly data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That brings the total net number of women who have left the labor force since January this year to 845,000. In comparison, there are 406,000 fewer men in the labor force now than in January.

A total of 165,000 women, aged 20 and over, left the labor force last month — meaning they are neither working nor looking for work — while men's labor force participation was unchanged. Overall, the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July. Women accounted for all of these losses, losing 32,000 jobs, while men gained 9,000 jobs. Women make up 50.1% of the workforce.

NEW: Under Bari Weiss, CBS News has shifted to the right to try to grab some of Fox News' audience. Not only have they failed to do that, but they've driven off so much of their core audience that CBS Mornings is now perilously close to getting beaten by Fox & Friends. zeteo.com/p/mamdani-de...

Since taking over CBS News last fall, Weiss has actively shifted the network to the right in an apparent effort to capture some of the conservative audience that regularly watches Fox. At the same time, she wants to appeal to the supposed “70% of the audience that identifies themselves as center-left to center-right,” as her boss David Ellison asserted after he purchased her anti-woke blog The Free Press.

The problem is that her strategy appears to be driving an increasing number of CBS News’s core audience away while failing to attract any of Fox’s viewers. In fact, according to Nielsen data obtained by Zeteo, the news network’s weekday offerings are in danger of getting passed by Murdoch’s cable news programs head-to-head.

During July, ‘CBS Mornings’ averaged just 1.623 million total viewers per day, compared to the 1.436 million that ‘Fox & Friends’ pulled in for the month. The gap between the shows, now at 13%, has narrowed considerably. When Weiss became the head of the network, ‘CBS Mornings’ held a 26% advantage over Fox’s morning program. July was the lowest-rated month in ‘CBS Mornings’ history.

And while the summer months typically bring lower ratings for news shows, the gap between ‘CBS Mornings’ and ‘Fox & Friends’ is tighter than it was last July – when the CBS show held a 23% advantage.

Additionally, ‘CBS Evening News’ is on track for its worst month since Weiss installed Tony Dokoupil as its anchor, averaging just 3.814 million total viewers a night. It is also the fourth consecutive month that the program has attracted fewer than 4 million viewers.

When reached for comment, a CBS News spokesperson shared a Paramount press release boasting that ‘CBS Evening News’ was narrowly up 2% in total viewers compared to last year, which was the program’s worst July in history.

Manosphere grifters have figured out that some men are easily manipulated by making them feel insecure about their masculinity. The GOP has turned this sales pitch into both an ideology and a campaign strategy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Any man who goes online today is apt to come across content telling him that he will never find a partner who will earn him the respect of other men if he lacks money and connections, if he is not bodybuilder-fit with a full head of hair, if he is not more than six feet tall. Online influencers who push this narrative have products to sell. They want you to buy their workout apps, their advice sessions, their investment plans. That’s just how a lot of advertising works: It makes you insecure so you’ll pay for a product in hopes of temporarily silencing your gnawing sense of inadequacy.

Just as the manosphere and its galaxy of hucksters want you to fork over your cash so you can feel better about yourself as a man, Republicans want to make you feel insecure about your masculinity so that you vote Republican. Masculinity, in this sense, is a lifestyle product: one that comes with a set of political beliefs predicated on the subjugation of women, minority groups, and anyone else who men are told are their inferiors.
