ICE attacked US citizen Andrea Velez, slamming her to the ground

No probable cause, no warrant and-while they claim no racial profiling-it seems clear why they did it

Then they arrested her to cover it up

Throwing her in a cell without even a glass of water

Unsurprisingly she's not the only one

U.S. and China extend trade truce another 90 days, easing tension between world's largest economies President Donald Trump extended a trade truce with China for another 90 days Monday, at least delaying once again a dangerous showdown between the world’s two biggest economies.

A deadline was set to expire at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.

Had that happened the U.S. could have ratcheted up taxes on Chinese imports from an already high 30%, and Beijing could have responded by raising retaliatory levies on U.S. exports to China.

The regime goes beyond the WH...it's an insidious army of organizations/people/dark money that has long been at work to make this happen...and it's foreign intruders as well who seek to overthrow our democracy and bear down on our people, economy, and freedoms.

D.C. residents rallied near the White House this morning to protest President Trump’s federal takeover of city law enforcement.

Free DC led a rally near LaFayette Square this morning, where speakers called on D.C. area residents to fight back President Trump’s ‘fascist’ federal takeover.

Trump’s takeover of DC is exactly what dictators do

Using lies to justify authoritarian desires

REMEMBER: he’s doing this because he’s a cornered rat. He’s destroyed the economy and this is all he has left!

I wouldn’t post it if it was junk. This is good reporting led by two Black journalists. What I like here is by hearing from solid sources it sets out a clear path to addressing the concerns and garnering the level of Black support Mamdani needs.

california’s population is larger than at least a dozen red states *combined* so if we’re playing the “we deserve more representation” game give us our 500 senators

Something all US citizens should know! Donald Trump and his administration are now editing and removing sections of the Government’s online version of the Constitution! They are trying to change the law of the land hoping nobody will notice it.
