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 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

Barack Obama drove a lot of white people insane. This was the election version of being ordered to integrate the town swimming pool, and choosing to fill it with cement instead.

This is lunacy. Reis didn’t call Trump names or scream bloody murder. He made a measured comment about what academic research said about prior Trump tariffs. This appears to be the offensive tweet:

Trump is already planning for the 20*30* Census. This time, not only does he want to stop counting noncitizens, he wants to stop counting race and ethnicity. Can't have an unconstituional racial gerrymander if you pretend not to know where Black people live. My latest in @thenation.com

The Trump Plan to Cook the Census Books
From adding a citizenship question to not tracking race and ethnicity, the administration wants to minimize Black and brown political power.

14 people have died in ICE custody so far in 2026, already more than all of 2024. But the official count is only part of the story, and what's *not* counted might say even more about the true human costs of detention. A thread on what the numbers hide. 🧵

1. "They tried to run us over" has been institutionalized as DHS's license to shoot people. They reflexively go to this lie when they draw their guns. 2. Even with a masked man is waving a gun in her face, this woman repeatedly tells them they are full of shit. Hero.

Recent case, re-run of the authors' code failed on a first-stage regression, blocked code from completing. Hard to initially diagnose, because "qui do regression_55.do" shows no output... 🤦Back and forth with authors, they provide evidence that it works on their system. We send MWE to Stata support👇

I would like to go back to a state where I wasn’t required to know so much about domestic (even local) US politics, just because they’re such a hot mess of global proportions with global consequences.

My heart hurts too much to even say something ironic about this. What if we just fucking start fighting for every single precious human life before they’re under attack. What if we treat now like it matters as much as it does.

BREAKING: ICE Is Using GPS Ankle Monitors to Prepare a Mass Roundup of 350,000 Haitian Refugees
Haitian refugees being summoned to check-ins are being fitted with GPS monitors and sent home — making them easier to locate and round up for mass deportation later.

You can tell how badly conservative brains were broken by COVID with all the dissonance around the virus: “It was a deadly Chinese bioweapon that wasn’t actually dangerous. The real killer was the vaccine which murdered millions and we can thank Donald Trump for developing it so quickly”

The Detroit Institute of Art is 💯 My fav today was this one by Edouard Duval-Carrié
Painting: from in front Painting: from the leftPainting caption card: Edouard Duval-Carrié
Born Port-au-Prince, Haiti 1954; lives and works in Miami, FL
Untitled, 1980
Oil on board
Gift of the artist, 1984.51
Contemporary artist Edouard Duval-Carrié presents a critical view of the United States government, which sent Marines to occupy Haiti between 1915-34 to provide security for Caribbean shipping lanes.
The painting portrays the sea god Agowe (pro-nounced ah-GOW-way) as the United States invader standing on a submarine led by "the dogs of war," which symbolize the Marines.
Duval-Carrié's family emigrated from Haiti to Puerto Rico when he was a child. He studied art at universities in Canada and in France, where he resided for many years.

FIFA has prohibited Haitian World Cup jerseys with a depiction of the Nov. 18, 1803, Bataille de Vertières aka the triumph of the Haitian Revolution against slavery. Depraved. amp.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...
Though Saeta and FIFA have not said publicly said what design element in the men’s official World Cup soccer kits prompted FIFA’s, a source told the Miami Herald that it’s the illustration of the Nov. 18, 1803, Bataille de Vertières with the Haitian flag embedded on the jerseys, which the team wore during their two warmup matches in South Florida last week.

I find amazing the deafening silence from US universities on Trump's explicit threats to commit war crimes. It is astounding how he has managed to silence them/us. Is this what we agreed to when we bought into institutional neutrality?

After Trump's latest genocidal utterances, I'm posting this again from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.
