For decades NAS babies have been sent into the troubled foster care system while their mothers were sent back to the street. These centers, in cities decimated by the opioid epidemic, keep mothers and babies together.

Scoop: Mount Sinai is calling up parents of trans patients who received care there as minors to say they are sharing their medical records with the Trump admin. But Mount Sinai won’t confirm the existence of a federal subpoena. W/ @giuliaheyward

A peer-reviewed study found Black patients matched with Black doctors were 27% less likely to die in the hospital. A separate study found Black residents live longer in counties with more Black primary care physicians. “Find A Black Doctor” exists because the disparities are real

6/ But that was, as they say, an act of God, a natural disaster. What I saw in Somalia -- and what is playing out in scores of other countries where hunger is now rising -- is the result of political decisions.

In March, around 200,000 immigrants began losing their commercial driver’s licenses, which are required to operate large vehicles like semi-trucks, buses and tractor-trailers. It’s part of a series of moves by the Trump administration to limit who can drive those vehicles after some high-profile truck crashes involving foreign-born drivers. Lisa Desjardins reports.

ICE appears to have significantly increased its presence in Bushwick recently. If you see ICE, call or text the Hands Off NYC hotline: [phone]

It’s also concerning that this many NYPD officers were deployed for what was clearly a justified gathering by local residents

It is World Press Freedom day in 2026.

Israel has killed 259 media workers in less than three years - 210 of them were Palestinian journalists in Gaza.

Journalists are being disappeared across Africa.

Mass job cuts are eroding some of the oldest newsrooms in the world.

it just occurred to me that many people don't know the Digital Library of the Caribbean exists, but you really all should have it bookmarked! it has millions of papers, periodicals, transcripts and entire books from all over the region available for free:

I guess this was the plan all along: have ACA collapse on itself because Americans can’t afford to pay the premiums without federal assistance. Tens of millions will end up without healthcare.
I gifted this so you can read it.

As a former Baffler staffer and ongoing contributor, if you want the magazine to pay more—subscribe! There’s an easy way to support little literary magazines paying their writers, and that’s to subscribe to them.

If you want to understand what’s happening in Mali, you are lucky that the great Rahmane Idrissa has spoken to Equator about the latest

The Songhai Empire, stratocracy, the anti-imperialism of the French left, Wagner's mercenaries, vidéomans, the ultra-periphery -- it's all here in a conversation I had with one of my favourite writers and scholars for @Equatormag: https://t.co/78BLjsoQ9q

The Justice Department is bringing back the use of firing squads and lethal injections of pentobarbital as it seeks to expedite and expand the federal death penalty. “It epitomizes trying to solve social problems — all social problems — by designating an enemy and killing the enemy,” says activist @helenprejean.

It remains staggering how many journalists are being killed by the IDF and how much more the journalism world needs to be doing and saying to protest such an onslaught.

[Spectrum News NY1 @NY1]

Brooklyn Council member Chi Ossé, who was arrested Wednesday while he said he was defending a constituent in an active deed theft dispute from eviction, told NY1 that Gov. Kathy Hochul should “implement a temporary stay on evictions for those who are dealing with pending deed theft cases.”

According to the New York State Attorney General’s office, deed theft happens when the title to a home is taken without the homeowner’s knowledge or consent, often through forgery or deception.

NY1 has reached out to the governor’s office for comment.
