Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Abolish ICE is not enough.

Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.

Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

We can all see with our own eyes what ICE is doing to our neighbors. YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren

We can all see with our own eyes what ICE is doing to our neighbors.

It’s time for the Senate to step up and do the right thing. Stop this violence.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Watching GB News or reading the Telegraph you realise there is a slice of right-wing opinion that would happily betray this country.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

Trump and Putin will meet in Alaska next week, Trump says President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are planning to meet in the United States, multiple sources tell CBS News.

It’s truly depraved for Trump to welcome Vladimir Putin to the US while Putin is actively wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Ukraine.

Trump calls this a peace summit but it’s just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

Reform UK's Darren Grimes™ doesn't want to adhere to Durham Council's Code of Conduct, so on 16th July he's putting forward a motion to amend it.

He wants to be able to say anything he likes and not be held to any standards.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

I live on county durham and it's very scary. I know I didn't do enough to stop this, but it's not too late to do something about it. I will go to my local labour party branch and politely say how I feel to others members

We need to go further faster in addressing wealth inequality, offshore tax avoidance, cost of living crisis, health inequalities, child poverty, not towards imitating the opposition and fuelling the politics of hate.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Back in 2018 when I started seeing pro-Trump protesters on the streets of Portland wearing "Pinochet did nothing wrong" t-shirts with RWDS on the sleeve and cartoons on the back celebrating the throwing of communists out of helicopters...it seemed clear the GOP was heading to a dark place.

He’s laying the groundwork to dismantle Social Security—just like the rest of our government.

If people don’t think Trump, Elon, and the GOP are coming for it, they’re not paying attention.

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
