I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

"I believe that Americans would agree that the government can’t just make people disappear without any process or explanation. Second, because I want to give the government a chance to admit that they were wrong.

So far the government has not done so."

Dear journalists:

The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her.

Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

Trump is the most corrupt President in U.S. history. Period. We've never seen anything like this!

@deanobeidallah.bsky.social wrote a home run of a column in rightly calling Donald Trump the most corrupt “President” in American history.

Trump’s bigoted ban on patriotic transgender Americans serving in our military impacts all of our freedoms. If Trump can use the government to discriminate against one community he can do it to any community—unless we fight back now.

China denies any negotiations with the US. The US must drop all tariffs to initiate talks. "Any claims about the progress of China-US trade negotiations are groundless and have no factual basis." Trump claims “They had a meeting this morning, but he won't reveal who 'they' are."

Trump should direct anger at Putin, who ‘must stop lying’ about Ukraine, Macron says The French president’s impassioned plea came during a conversation with reporters while in Madagascar.

French President Emmanuel Macron said today that Vladimir Putin is “lying” about his desire to peacefully end the war in Ukraine, pointing to the Kremlin’s massive attack on Kyiv earlier in the day that left at least eight people dead.

The guy who was condemned by the pope for his cruelty!

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

‼️ Zelensky: There have already been 59 Russian shellings and five assault actions by Russian units in various directions of the front line. Ukraine will continue to act in a mirror manner.

russia struck a bread factory in Sumy that produces Easter bread with 3 Shahed drones, killing the driver and wounding a 55-year-old employee of the plant.

The terrorist state has a tradition of its own: turning holidays into massacres.

Zelenskyy: Ukraine now produces 40% of weapons used on frontlines.

Harvard’s Decision to Resist Trump Is ‘of Momentous Significance’ (Gift Article) But a fight with the nation’s oldest, richest and most elite university is a battle that President Trump and his powerful aide, Stephen Miller, want to have.

I took my whole family for a 10 day trip to NY 2 years ago… never again until the 🇺🇸 gets back to a decent democracy and respects rule of law!!!

No one should be above the law, most especially the President.

Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional.

They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

Bondi on Garcia: "That's up for El Salvador if they want to return him. That's not up to us."

Remember this, dear @dartmouthcollege.bsky.social, my employer, when they come for us. Columbia capitulated and Trump keeps coming. They disgraced and betrayed themselves and saved nothing. So—can’t believe I’m writing this—follow Harvard’s lead.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted:

District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️

Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

YIKES: The College Football Playoff National Championship trophy completely falls apart as JD Vance picks it up. A metaphor for this disastrous administration. (via Philip Wegmann)

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

Zelensky calls for increased international pressure after Russian attack on Sumy "This Friday marked exactly one month since Russia spurned the U.S. proposal for a full and unconditional ceasefire. They are not afraid...Only pressure – only decisive action – can change this."
