Meta recently updated their terms of service to require any businesses that use their products to turn over their intellectual property in exchange for access to their platforms. I’m urging Meta to reverse this decision and compensate creators and publishers for their work.

We’re demanding Meta provide answers after the No Kings Coalition’s Instagram account was temporarily suspended in the middle of a nationwide day of action. The company must explain what went wrong and make sure this doesn’t happen again. Read more: https://ow.ly/yHgk5101aNt

Here is the TLDR of the 9th Circuit hearing: DOJ will lose. It will be either 2-1 or 3-0. It will be on jurisdiction and perhaps on the merits. The argument was a debacle for Trump and the DOJ lawyer who argued it. Watch for details. www.youtube.com/live/EsuYPbm...

An American student with a disability is suffering from a broken wrist and a black eye after ICE wrongfully tackled and detained him in Santa Maria. Americans didn’t ask to be brutalized by ICE. They sure as hell shouldn’t be paying for its actions with broken limbs.

October 23, 2026: a car left the MDC with two children. The children had no seat belts, and the driver was leaving erratically. It is unclear if they were family or detainees, but usually parents don't bring children to a prison at 10:30 on a Friday night.

This man was dead weight, hanging high above the ground after touching a high-voltage line. His coworker climbed up, held him in place, gave him mouth-to-mouth. Randall Champion survived—and lived another 35 years. Rocco Morabito’s photo, “The Kiss of Life,” won the Pulitzer Prize. True heroism.

The Trump administration’s top border official defended plans to build a wall and other infrastructure in Texas’ Big Bend region despite mounting opposition and a court-ordered construction pause. The administration has asked the Supreme Court to lift the halt and allow work to resume.
