I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

Congress could pass a law tomorrow requiring @ICEgov agents to identify themselves like other law enforcement. It would end the nationwide free-for-all by criminal impersonators.

“I had to come back for the insurance, because they informed me this year that I’m on cobra. So it’s like, I got to get my benefits on” 😭😭😭😭

No matter what your views are on Israel & Palestine, you should be terrified of a country incarcerating its residents for exercising free speech.

Mr. Khalil is not accused of violating any law. He is illegally detained by the Trump Administration. He must be released.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the House hearing on sanctuary cities:

"If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe."

In Alabama, the man frying chicken at KFC and the woman making beds at Holiday Inn could be a prisoner. The state earns millions leasing inmates to hundreds of companies, deeming them safe enough to work, but routinely denying them parole. https://t.co/m3TLq65lCg

Frances Tiafoe: “I’m the son of immigrant parents from Sierra Leone. When I was a kid, my dad got a construction job at College Park Tennis Club in 1999, a new tennis academy in the D.C. area. While my dad worked, I picked up the game during nights and weekends at the facility when the other kids weren’t around. I’d hit against the wall by myself, mimicking techniques I had seen older boys at the academy do. I’d imagine I was playing against Rafa or Roger in the U.S. Open, that those guys were just on the other side of the wall.⁠
⁠
Eventually, I was accepted into the academy, and the rest is history....⁠
⁠
I like to tell everybody that I didn’t choose tennis, tennis chose me — that I was built to play this sport — but that didn’t make it any easier for me. When I told people that I wanted to grow up to be a tennis player, they laughed at me.⁠
⁠
My dad has always been supportive, but he was laughing, too. (‘If you want to do it, then do it!’ he’d tell me). My mom actively did not want me to play professionally. She and I fought about the decision for years, even after I turned pro and started making a little money — all she wanted for me and Franklin was for us to go to college, and I had earned my ticket anywhere I wanted to go. She had a hard time wrapping her head around that. On top of all of that, every kid I played with or against had more than me and would never have to worry about money or whether they’d be able to go to college.⁠
⁠
I realized early that I could either sit there and be sad about my situation.... or use it as a way out. I look at it like this: Your parents are your parents. You came up how you came up. You can’t change that. What I could control though was how hard I worked. I knew I had an ability to help my family and my community in a way that my peers at the academy couldn’t. For me, there was so much more at stake.⁠
⁠
Tennis was my way out.⁠
⁠
I know it’s a cliché to say, ‘There isn’t anything you can’t do if you believe,’ but that’s something I subscribe to, even if it’s corny. But the way I see it, it’s all about going out and doing what you believe you can. That’s the hard part.” https://t.co/deSoyyXd2w

BRITTANY WATTS is still locked up in Ohio after a miscarriage.

It's the holidays, and while some folks have stepped back from politics and social media for family time and other wonderful things, this is a reminder that cruelty and punishment continue.

I need to say her name.

My god. You have to watch this nurse’s testimony re conditions on the ground in Gaza, and the heroism of the Palestinians who kept her alive.

Palestine TV journalist Mohammad Abu Hattab was killed with his family in an Israeli airstrike. His colleague Salman Al-Bashir removes his protective gear marked PRESS on air saying: “We can’t take it anymore, we are exhausted. We are victims. The only difference between us is the time of death. We are killed one after another. And no one cares about the catastrophe or the crime that we endure in Gaza. No protection for anyone or anything. This gear and helmet do not protect any journalist, they are just empty slogans. We are victims, live on air. We are victims awaiting our turn to be killed. Mohammad was here half an hour ago (reporting). Now he lies dead with his family in this same hospital.”
