Here's some history the US Supreme Court doesn't want you to think about. In April 2026, SCOTUS effectively ended the Voting Rights Act. The decision has startling parallels with Plessy v. Ferguson, the decision that established “separate but equal" and cemented Jim Crow.

The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

New research indicates Walmart is working to compile massive amounts of data on individual shoppers and potentially charge them different prices, despite the company’s denial. This shady tactic is called surveillance pricing, and Walmart isn’t the only corporation planning to use it. Watch.

Why have so many people fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen. It's time to fix the system.

can’t say it much better than this

Something that many people who work in the press do not like to acknowledge is that the press is a participant in a fight—an ideological, political, power struggle against entrenched power itself. In a free society, accumulated power attracts the interest of the press, whose reporting tends to erode (or at least trouble) that power.
Great concentrations of wealth and power tend to be built through morally odious if not outright illegal means, and being able to whitewash that reality is a perpetual interest of the powerful, just as exposing it is a perpetual interest of the press. Powerful people and institutions, as a rule, do not like journalism because journalism
properly done makes n harder for powerful people to carry out their will with no public oversight or pushback. Some in the media find it uncomfortable to state these things plainly, because they are wedded to the idea of objectivity and they mistakenly believe that political conflict is a sign of political bias. It is not. This is just the way of the world. Behind every fortune is a crime; behind every crime is a journalist trying to expose it; behind every journalist trying to expose it is a powerful person trying to shut the journalists down. It has always been thus.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.
