Our freedom was won by brave women and men who answered the call β€” including the heroic First Nations, Inuit, and MΓ©tis members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

On Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour the sacrifice of those who have served, those who serve today, and their families.

A tweet from Alex Cole says: β€œMy favorite No Kings protest sign.” The attached photo shows a protest crowd in front of a city building. One protester holds a large handmade sign in red and blue letters that reads: β€œNOT A PAID PROTESTER β€” I HATE TRUMP FOR FREE.” Other smaller protest signs and American flags are visible around them.

ABC airing a tribute to a neo-Nazi is a really great way to celebrate America's coming 250th anniversary.

A screenshot of a social media post from Greg Abbott. The text says: "This is what happened to the person who was mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Texas Tech. FAFO." The attached image shows a young woman with long braids, wearing a patterned tank top and jeans, being handcuffed by two police officers in uniform. Her facial expression looks tense as she turns her head. Below, Abbott’s earlier post is quoted: "Definitely picked the wrong school to taunt the death of Charlie Kirk. Thanks Texas Tech." The post shows thousands of replies, retweets, and likes.

It may be distasteful but it is not illegal to mock someone's death and it should not warrant arrest, ever. The 1st Amendment exists specifically to protect disfavored speech and what is happening now is one of the greatest threats to free speech in the United States.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

A Mother's Day Hell, From the GOP Today, as Mother’s Day Weekend began, I watched the sickening video of a hysterical 16-year-old girl with her face smashed into the pavement by police officers, as I.C.E.

This teenage daughter’s life has been irreparably violated, her sense of safety shattered, her family’s sacred story visited by a horror you and I will fortunately never understand.

This is Trump’s America on this Mother’s Day.

Yes, Donald Trump is Planning to Send U.S. Residents En Masse to Death Camps in El Salvador Run By Dictator Nayib Bukele The White House meeting on Monday between Trump and Bukele isn’t quite a Hitler-Stalin summit, but in the context of this century’s politics and America’s descent into fascism, it approaches it.

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.

1. Happening now: Montana is hearing a bill that would charge parents of transgender kids with felony child endangerment.

It is one of the most extreme bills of the year, and the vote is TODAY.

It's already passed the MT Senate.

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyesβ€”suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security.

It was … two days ago.
