Let us be very clear: there are no "roving Somali gangs terrorizing people." The Trump administration is, once again, using a campaign of hatred and fear to try and divide us. It will not work.

"...Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement." "A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself." "Rubio, whose well-known versatility of convictions is perhaps not infinite..." @GeorgeWill can bring it after all these years.

At a time when traditional aid is retreating just as crises are multiplying, I’m seeing a quiet but profound shift among donors and investors alike. Those who are still giving are doing so with greater intention, asking their capital to go further for people and planet. Yet

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

As usual, President Donald Trump made numerous false claims in his televised Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. And, as usual, most of them had previously been debunked.

(1/4) ICE detention has become a black box. Oversight has been gutted. Families are being separated. Pregnant and postpartum women report starving in custody, freezing cells, invasive procedures, miscarriages, and their pleas for help going unanswered. https://t.co/jlR7u6M13s

Right before Thanksgiving, Trump secretly commuted the sentence of David Gentile—a Ponzi schemer who stole over $1 billion from his clients—freeing him from prison after just *12 days.* This is another grotesque abuse of the pardon power that should outrage all Americans.

Trump will deport an Afghani living in the US with Temporary Protected Status if he is *accused* of stealing $1000. But he’ll set a white dude free who was *convicted* of stealing $1.6B from American citizens to go commit more crime.
