Day after day, they walk out anyway. Teenagers choosing conscience over comfort, courage over fear. They keep showing up to protest ICE, cages, and inhumanity. In surprising places like Oklahoma, young people persist.

History moves because they refuse silence.
Never give up on young people.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

The Washington Post—for which I wrote editorials for nearly a decade—has closed its Kyiv bureau.

BREAKING: 4 students at the University of Minnesota are currently chained to Morrill Hall, demanding that their school end all cooperations with ICE and establish itself as a sanctuary campus.

First there was Monterey HS and now Frenship HS in the Lubbock suburb of Wolfforth participating in the anti-ICEtapo protests! 🪧 Only 10 miles always from home. Proud of these kids! Hope to see the walkout protests make their way to the smaller schools like Ropes next. #ICEOut #HighSchoolWalkouts

Many of the schools in Houston Texas walked out this afternoon to protest against ICE.
When one student was asked if he was afraid of being marked absent or suspended his response was ‘if that’s what it takes to protect people and use my first amendment rights, I’m ok with that’.
Be like these kids!

Trump Station? Trump Airport? What the president asked for in exchange for releasing frozen Gateway Tunnel funds, reports say President Donald Trump froze billions for the project during a dispute with Democrats last year. Construction is set to stop Friday.

I would walk barefoot through the cold, dank, rat infested tunnels under the Hudson rather than disembark at something called Trump Penn Station.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

"Would-be guards with walkie-talkies posted outside the school and staff members closing off the exits inside, try as they may, administrators couldn’t stop students at Edgewood High School from walking out for an anti-ICE rally."
