Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job Chief Brian O’Hara says he’ll fire city police officers if they don’t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force.

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.

This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

CDC advisory panel rolls back universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation The change upends decades of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance and goes against widespread public health consensus.

Remember: RFK Jr. fired his last CDC director because she refused to ram through his anti-vax agenda.

Yesterday, RFK Jr.’s handpicked vaccine skeptics threw out DECADES of settled science — and Donald Trump gave a thumbs-up.

This will hurt American kids and families.

How to Negotiate with Russia Account for history, law, and above all Ukraine

We hear that Putin and Trump (or their emissaries) have been secretly consulting about a settlement to the war. Given the inherent traps of allowing an aggressor to decide the outcome of his war, I try here to give a sense of how negotiations might actually work.

The important thing to bear in mind as Trump's popularity begins to wobble is that the disastrous economic consequences of the things he's done in the first 10 months of this term have not even *begun* to hit. We've been coasting on the fumes of the economy he inherited and soon they'll be gone.

Hybrid attacks are ‘extreme danger’ for EU, says top diplomat as Putin threat grows The EU must send a message of unity to Russia following a string of incidents, says foreign policy chief.

Top EU diplomat Kaja Kallas today sounded the alarm for Europe after Warsaw accused Russian-backed operatives of carrying out an explosion targeting a Polish railway.

 

I'm loving Jon's photos- he's selecting his best of 60 yrs. work, and it gives me even more respect for his creative process.

Respect for NYPD, but please get the numbers right on protest attendance. Same fractional counting in 2003 before the Iraq invasion.
100k people are on the subway at any given moment. They had 10X that on the streets today.

Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

The teeny tiny No Kings things in very red areas are so huge

Say like five or six people show up. None of them knew each other before. Suddenly they’re all friends. And maybe from that you get a group that does longer-term organizing that can punch *way* above its weight considering where it is

This is a) utterly terrifying and b) vital. Don’t turn away. The crisis is fixable because it is, ultimately, political. We know the chemistry. We decline the action necessary.

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

US revokes visas for six foreigners over comments made about Charlie Kirk's death The U.S. State Department said on Tuesday it had revoked the visas of six foreigners over social media comments made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The State Department said that it has revoked the visas of foreign nationals who had spoken out against Charlie Kirk. Senior officials within the department said they would move to deny or rescind visas for individuals who had criticized Kirk, this is a direct violations of the First Amendment.

LA County officials approve emergency declaration over immigration raids The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on immigrants.

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.

Whether it’s in Chicago, where restaurant and hotel owners have declined to let ICE agents use their facilities; showing up at protests (wink wink, don’t forget about No Kings on Sat); calling your representatives; or stepping in to help a neighbor targeted by the Trump admin, every act matters.

There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.

A federal appeals panel upheld a lower court ruling that blocked the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to the Chicago area.
