He literally won his case in 2019, VP Vance, and was granted withholding a removal, a protection against deportation to your home country that has been accepted for decades as de facto permission to remain in the United States (less than 2% are ever deported to a third country).

@titvein @micahsb @SAMcClellon Nothing- they’re the same thing.

@micahsb @SAMcClellon My struggle meal was a bastardized version of an Egyptian lentil dish: brown an onion (or half if that’s what ya got), add lentils and water, season with a bit of cinnamon, curry powder, garlic, s&p. Canned tomatoes if you got em. Serve over rice or as stew.

CNN is set to host a presidential debate today. While they will provide media credentials to foreign reporters, they have not extended the same privilege to Black media outlets.

Something interesting about this site. Most articles score very highly on GPTZero, showing they're AI generated, but this particular article has the lowest score possible, meaning it was handwritten for the site.

We’re deeply alarmed and outraged by reports of the assault on Al-Jazeera reporter Ismail Al-Ghoul from Al-Shifa hospital and other journalists while doing their jobs reporting on the Israeli offensive on the hospital.

The IDF should immediately release Al-Ghoul and other detained Palestinian journalists and take steps to protect the members of the media covering this war.

I love this so much.

[Joseph Cranney @joey_cranney]

It’s easy to treat the media as a punching bag. But look to the nation’s local newsrooms. For little money or recognition, reporters in 2023 stood up to power brokers who tried to bully them into silence, exposed corrupt officials and even saved lives. Proof, from every state:

Budding Journalists: You don't need to take down an institution to make a difference in the lives of readers. Impact comes in all sizes. Don't underestimate the influence a short feature, or a 600-word news story, or a well-done Q.& A. or even a brief, can have on someone's life.

Hi guys. Tomorrow, Dec 8, marks one year since my husband, Rob, died after a brutal battle w/ cancer. He was in his final year of law school, and his classmates are trying to fund a scholarship in his name. Please share and/or consider donating ♥️ https://t.co/a7ijdJO202

It took me more than two months to write this essay, because it was hard to express the enormity of what is happening here in Germany. At the risk of sounding dramatic, the hatred here is accelerating.

"This is my third year in solitary confinement. It’s past midnight, summer is here, and there’s been a blackout for the last two days. The ventilator has stopped breathing and the air is heavy and rotten."

Let's stand together on this chilling milestone and demand Evan's immediate release.

There is a historic heat wave in Texas, with many areas topping 117°. High humidity makes the heat more brutally dangerous.

Gov. Abbott just signed a bill nullifying local requirements to give workers water breaks. We still have no federal heat standards.

🚨 It’s a world record that no one wants to celebrate.

By the end of last year, the number of forcibly displaced people globally had reached 108.4 million.

📈 @refugees estimates that this number had risen to 110.4 million by this May. https://t.co/6OMT9BkIpx #WorldRefugeeDay
