Trump is planning a military parade in DC on June 14, but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. I'm rallying on No Kings Day to reject strongman politics and corruption. app.sosha.ai/s/iy8zoI0I

Y’all, y’all means all y’all. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, fairness and kindness. It’s time to put a stop to this cruelty nonsense. Stop with the executive orders already Mr. Trump. You are not our king.

Trump’s first 100 days have been a hot mess of idiotic incompetence and pure scary fascism. It’s like a comedic horror movie become real.

Archibald: UAB fears Trump reprisals, kills scholarship for Black med students "They're just another parrot parroting the same misguided racial nonsense and tropes."

Some schools fight. But UAB is literally sending checks back to donors, killing scholarships for high-performing Black med students rather than risk wearing the scarlet letters of DEI.

And just look who gets called "morally reprehensible."

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "The United States government quite literally disappeared these people. It won't say where they are. We don't know. Their families do not know where they are. And they have essentially no recourse in U.S. courts because there are no records of their whereabouts."

Detainee recounts chaotic near-deportation that was paused amid a court fight Venezuelan national Eduardo Daboin Rall spoke to NBC News about being boarded onto a bus Friday at a Texas detention facility before the vehicle was turned around.

“I’ve never missed a court appearance. I’ve never missed an appointment with immigration or ICE,” Daboin Rall said. “The truth is: I don’t have any criminal record. I’ve done everything correctly according to the rules of this country.”
