- CNN is launching a new standalone streaming service this fall—a make-or-break move to stay relevant as cable crumbles and the digital competition intensifies. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/cnn-stream...
- Nope
- New court filing tonight shows that Yunseo Chung, a Columbia student who participated in pro-Palestine protests, was named alongside Mahmoud Khalil in Secretary Rubio's letter terminating their status as legal permanent residents. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
- Rubio is a fascist
- 🚩 The potential for abuse is obvious.
- GOP = active members of the Vichy Regime! 🤬
- ICE convinced a woman she was being arrested and then threatened to take her baby into custody unless a relative showed up to take her. It was all a ruse to get her mother to leave her house. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
- ICE = fascists
- Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics. He was asked whether or not he’d interviewed Hamas, Houthis, or Hezbollah members. He was questioned about his opinions on Trump and Israel.
- Fascism
- Resettling white Afrikaners as refugees is the sort of metaphor for "we are a really racist government" that most editors would remove from a dystopian novel for being way way too ham-fisted. Props to the Episcopal Church for using its religious freedom to call out this disgusting act.
- BREAKING: The Episcopal Church has announced it will end its decades-old partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by the Trump admin. religionnews.com/2025/05/12/e...
- White nationalism!
- Duffy’s full of it. Pete Buttigieg and Dems pushed to modernize our air traffic control system under Biden—Republicans in Congress blocked it. The Trump administration’s been too busy blaming DEI instead of fixing the real problems.
- Damb the GOP House representatives!
- Ronald Reagan’s Library has a plane on display that served as Air Force One from Nixon to Bush 41 so I assume that’s where they got the idea.
- I'm still not clear why the @nytimes.com went along the idea that a presidential library owning a jet for the personal use of the ex-president was anything that real presidential libraries do. Weird.
- But Reagan didn’t fly it!
- Why didn’t Welker push back on his statement that “we’ve had a massive expansion of government?” We’ve had the SAME NUMBER of government employees for over five decades. Corporate media, PUSH BACK WITH FACTS PLEASE.
- I can no longer watch her at all. She is part of the Vichy Regime’s media! 🤬
- this guy is out here proudly being a eugenicist freak while people at mainstream and "respectable publications" make excuses for him or even muse about whether he has a "few good points"
- Deplorable
