A 2-year-old American citizen was deported to Honduras with her mother, sparking outrage. A Louisiana judge condemned DHS for removing the child "with no meaningful process." A hearing is set for May 16. theintellectualist.com/2-year-old-u...

Feels kinda important to point out that if non-citizens are required to carry proof of legal status, then citizens do too by default. This is absolutely insane.

Is the lesson here that it's good to go along with your family even when you know they're morally wrong? If you say he was worried about his family's safety in the South then is the lesson that slavery is okay as long as your family is safe? What lessons in bravery and morality are they teaching?

This clip has me thinking about people finally taking Trump's ownership of the narrative, enforced by the massive GOP media advantage, seriously. Fox et al want people to believe LA is burning, terrible, overrun. LA has a lot of people who are pretty good at communicating, who can show otherwise!

Just wondering if Trump is going to send the marines into elementary schools that refuse to allow masked men take kindergarteners?

ICE raided LA elementary school in an attempt to kidnap small children.

U.S. drug deaths dropped by roughly 40% last year among people under the age of 35. It's a welcome pivot for families and communities devastated by fentanyl.

We know the backstory, but does most of America?

Access-journalism-focused media idiots don’t get it. Trump saying he loves this fight doesn’t mean the public does. People want stability. They want consistency. They want to be able to go about their day, feed their families and have their careers. They don’t want chaos.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

“This could poll well with midterm swing voters in Ohio” I remark sagely as I watch a fourth grader get bundled into an unmarked van at recess by armed and masked agents of the state.

"Come join us in doing good" is the way forward.

In other words, Trump is actually inflicting this needlessly on members of the military. We should understand it in those terms, as an act of malevolence and depravity *toward them* as well.

First bit of polling after Trump's escalation in Los Angeles, and it is very bad for him. Here are the last three YouGov polls of Trump's job approval: 45%-49% (-4) - June 2 45%-55% (-10) - June 6 40%-53% (-13) - June 10

When Senator Bill Cassidy announced he would vote to confirm RFK Jr, he included this in his statement: “If confirmed, he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes.” WITHOUT CHANGES.

"We are sad that the journalist didn't dodge the projectile that chose to go towards her" said her employer. Read more: chaser.com.au/general-news...

for context here’s a map of greater Los Angeles and the protest is the roughly the red circle

True story bro.

notable that the poster child for morally empty ambition has finally figured out that there are gains to be reaped from opposing the administration's actions

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪 www.richmondscientific.com/how-a-discov...

The LAPD whenever they think no one can see

There's a "legal" reason Stephen Miller and all are emphasizing the Mexican flags. The language in Friday's order lays the groundwork for sedition charges against protestors. They're going to use the flags to say this was an assault on the lawful power of US.

Unlike blind faith that America is exceptional and everything will work out in the end, hope is when you take an active part in the thing that carries out the theory that it will actually get better. Action demands hope, but hope requires action. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

Pasadena, CA: The AC Hotel has asked ICE to leave. Hosting ICE agents at your hotel is bad for business.
