The volume & geographic distribution of protest nationwide during year 1 of Trump's second term was extraordinary.

Today, the Legal Defense Fund (LDF) announced it reached a settlement on behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
(NAACP) challenging the U.S. Department of Education's anti-opportunity "Dear Colleague Letter," related
"Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQ) document, certification requirement, and EndDEl portal. The lawsuit alleged that the Department sought to prohibit and chill lawful efforts to ensure equal educational opportunities for Black students, and that its guidance rested on a legally flawed interpretation of Title VI and the Equal Protection Clause. Prior on April 24, 2025, LDF and the NAACP successfully secured a preliminary injunction against the certification requirement. The settlement follows the Trump Administration's decision to vacate its appeal in a related challenge.
As part of the settlement, the Education Department agreed that it will no longer rely on the "Dear Colleague Letter" or its certification requirement, nor will it attempt to enforce or reinstate them under a different name. The Department also agreed not to use their "End DEl" portal or related FAQ document. The settlement also preserves the NAACP's preliminary injunction win, which recognized students' right to receive information free from vague prohibitions. The settlement affirms Black students' right to equal opportunity in classrooms and extracurricular activities, including access to inclusive and accurate curricula, selective programs, affinity groups, and policies that foster a sense of belonging.

Darryn Peterson had two points in the second half against Texas Tech. Then he hit these two shots in the final 90 seconds.

Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement:

β€œYesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer.

β€œToday, we demand accountability.

β€œIn the immediate aftermath of Alex’s killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a β€œdomestic terrorist.” Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America’s veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota.

β€œOur demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.
