So they‘re willing to deny people needed food in the service of denying people needed healthcare.

America-hating Antifa showing up for a *second* time today.

It appears that the federal agents occupying Portland have people embedded with them charged with the task of producing stories presenting the government’s version of events. Ironically, this was the sort of work JD Vance did in Iraq before he decided he was against that war.

The Trump administration’s deployment of ICE and others in the mass deportation effort has led to more violence and turmoil, and less safety and security for all, including US citizens. But that’s a feature not a bug. The chaos justifies further authoritarian crackdowns. The chaos is the point.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Wow. Take courage from this message

Concerns about intimidation by national guard and others at the polls in 2026 could be eliminated with vote by mail. This is why Felon47 wants to outlaw it. If no one has to venture out to the precinct and stand in line just to exercise their right to vote, more will be able to do so. It works.

Important.

Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

Let them eat cake.

This is Patty Hartman, a 17 year veteran of the Justice Department. She was fired on Monday by Pam Bondi. She is warning of a wave of retribution inside the agency. You must hear her words for yourself.

Budapest Pride draws huge crowds in defiance of Orban legal threats Tens of thousands have gathered for the LGBTQ march in Hungary's capital, despite a police ban and warning from PM Viktor Orban.

Other populations are also saying NO to their cruel, autocratic "leaders"...It gives me hope to see this! In this case, it is against Orban's threats re: celebrating Pride. Yay Budapest!

"A child is dying of malnutrition about every 15 seconds, and meanwhile, the U.S. taxpayers have already purchased 185,000 boxes of Plumpy'Nut that taxpayers own that is sitting in a warehouse in Rhode Island gathering dust."

@nickkristof.bsky.social talks USAID and more with @timmiller.bsky.social

Please don’t presume this is now an American president making a serious decision for the good of America, not a malignant despot desperate to be seen as a strong man.

Tell Your Senators: No War With Iran Trump’s decision to bomb Iran risks escalating an already volatile situation into all-out regional conflict. It’s time for Congress to step in and exercise their constitutional authority over war and ...

Contact your senators and urge them to reclaim their constitutional authority by supporting Sen. Kaine’s war powers resolution: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Then urge your representative to support the war powers resolution from Reps. Khanna and Massie: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO?

#NOKINGS

Brave man and a brave television station.
