Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.

BIG crowd of people shouting at police.

"Fuck you!"

"What is wrong with you!"

"You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

I am congenitally resistant to conspiracy thinking, but this really does feel like a eugenic plot. There is some dark, pseudo-Darwinian thinking on the right that equates illness with moral unfitness, and prefers that the weak die, indeed demands that they be culled. Truly a death cult.

A philosopher recently told me that this exact quote was used when CEU was kicked out of Hungary. She told me this months ago, saying that what's unfolding in the US is eerily similar to the path Hungary has taken. Next, "the sciences will start blaming the humanities, causing a rift in academia"

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Γ‰toile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

On Xitter, Newsom is talking abt 3.4M who could lose Medicaid.

Is there any reason CA (and all Dem states) couldn’t send those people notice that Trump is going to cut it?

Just a few words of Noam Chomsky responding to Bill Moyers I believe in 1988 in a PBS interview.

Neither FOX nor MICKEY MOUSE NEWS will repeat such words.

Bill Moyers was the epitome of a truth seeker. In an era when it’s political to say facts matter, Bill cut through that & told the stories no one else was telling. Meeting him as a young organizer was one of the honors of my life. The world needs more Bill Moyers & I am grateful for the life he led.

Anyone else having a hard time being happy when the Supreme Court makes the right call for once? It’s like, good, but **gestures broadly**

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

#LAPD arrested journalist Anthony Orendorff while he was documenting an immigration raid. This is part of a larger trend that could spell more trouble for press rights.

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled.

Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year.

This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for β€œparticipation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

Yet Another Anti-Trump Statue Has Shown Up on the National Mall - Washingtonian The White House called the last statue ugly. This new one, which shows the President dancing, is the β€œugliest art that we could think of," says someone who claims to be behind it.

"Seeing this mysterious statue today felt like dΓ©ja vu, as it comes just over a week after a similar anti-Trump statueβ€”which seems to have the same organizersβ€”appeared in the same spot on the National Mall."

Who is against these policies? Are people so far gone that they prefer their taxes pay for corporate welfare and massive pointless bombs over education and transportation?

Ordinary Republicans hate Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill"β€”once they know what it does Solid support turns to strong opposition, a new Yale study shows.

When ordinary Republicans understand how Trump’s β€œOne Big Beautiful Bill” would affect the after-tax incomes of American families, it turns out they don’t find it beautiful at all.

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Yes there are millions of people who buy in to white Christian nationalism and some have shown how to turn it into very profitable businesses, but at its core is ignorance, racism, fear, insecurity, and perversion of the teachings of Jesus.

IDF soldiers ordered to shoot deliberately at unarmed Gazans waiting for humanitarian aid ***

Haaretz exposes what’s been obvious since this heinous Hunger Games aid distribution β€œsystem” began.

β€œβ€It's a killing field,” one soldier said. "Where I was stationed… people were killed every day. They're treated like a hostile force – no crowd-control measures, no tear gas – just live fire.””

These are OUR archives. These are OUR records. Scholars use them, but so do ordinary people, for all kinds of reasons. We all pay for this resource. It is our shared history. And now they're trying to starve it out of existence.

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking.

I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism
