The path for Trump targeting college students was paved by the Democratic Party & their leaders making enemies out of these young people. If you want to talk about fascism, they deployed a police state on campuses all across California. Don’t ever forget this.

"The projectiles shattered bones in one student’s hand and required her to undergo surgery and extensive rehab. Another person, who police shot in the head, was diagnosed with internal bleeding."

NEW: On Friday, ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody. Those workers — and their employer — just happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory My latest The Intercept

Students in the California State system launched a hunger strike today for Gaza. They're calling on the CSU system to divest, cut ties with Israeli institutions, forbid ICE and DHS from entering classrooms and notify students if they're on campus

NEW: EPA staffers are speaking out about an "intense culture of fear" under Trump and a drastic shift toward boosting industry. “The mission of the EPA has been shifted,” one told me. "Our mission is not to promote AI or energy dominance,” said another. theintercept.com/2025/05/13/tru…

Trump’s EPA has a new new mission: making the U.S. the capital for AI and reviving the auto industry. “They’re doing all this under the guise of efficiency, but what they really are doing is dismantling this agency from doing its job,” one staffer told me. theintercept.com/2025/05/13/tru…

People in Gaza are posting their final messages. If there was any justice in the world, the people living in countries giving Israel weapons would wake up tomorrow to wall-to-wall coverage of Israel’s slaughter. Instead, it’s treated as normal. Sick to my stomach with the apathy.

Genocide and ethnic cleansing fail to describe what are witnessing. Gaza has become a mass killing and torture box for the world to watch

Adams again made reference to "Gays for Hamas" in an interview with Dr. Phil that just aired, claiming he "was speaking" to that group. Kayla Mamelak Altus told reporters Tuesday the mayor meant to refer to "Queers for Palestine," but the mayor evidently keeps saying "Gays for Hamas."

The journalistic malpractice we’re seeing on Gaza will be in history books one day. I am embarrassed to be part of a profession where so many care more about their careers than their responsibility to report America’s singular role in allowing Israel to commit genocide
