The Los Angeles Dodgers said they denied federal immigration officials access to the area around the team’s stadium on Thursday morning. The news comes hours after The Athletic reported the team’s plans to announce assistance to immigrants impacted by recent militarized raids.

The observance of Juneteenth calls us to recommit ourselves to the work of equity, equality, and justice. Each June 19, and especially today in Minnesota, we are reminded of our incredible capacity to heal, hope, and emerge from our darkest moments with purpose and resolve.

As Americans celebrate Juneteenth, I want to say: Trump can try to erase whatever history he doesn't like, and he can try to brand "diversity" as something bad. But he won't succeed. We'll remember ALL of our history and affirm that diversity is our strength here in America.

Sign you may not be the most powerful man in the world: Need to brag about the size of your flagpole.

MSNBC dug up the clip of former Trump Sec Def Mark Esper saying that Trump asked him in 2020 to shoot protesters -- an order Pete Hegseth wouldn't rule out following if Trump asked him to do it today

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her

I feel like getting the phrase “George W. Trump” trending on social media is all it would take to deter him from going to war with Iran

Sad. One man Trump can’t get over one loss in election but entire history of black Americans are to get over injustice.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, and the Trump administration is actively trying to make sure kids aren’t taught why.

Former President Barack Obama issued a warning about the future of American democracy, while speaking at an event in Connecticut. Obama cautioned that the country is “dangerously close” to normalizing behavior “consistent with autocracies.”

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d much rather have an entire undocumented immigrant family with two happy trans kids living right next door to me than a white supremacist or a racist MAGA lunatic any day of the week.

Call your Representative tomorrow demand they get louder and more assertive about these masked, unidentifiable thugs who are ripping people off the streets. The current pushback is as “hardcore” as a bowl of warm pudding.

A short video about Juneteenth:

Note to Congress: YOu have the power of the purse. If you don't want US to enter a war against Iran don't fund it.

Allowing Netanyahu to drag us into another endless war in the Middle East would be a catastrophic error by President Trump and Republicans in Congress. Every lawmaker needs to ring the alarm against U.S. military action in Iran. Only Congress has the authority to declare war.

So ridiculous that entire groups of Americans are literally fighting for their lives and there are people who see the struggle and their first reaction is "this is a distraction from the thing that I'm personally more interested in"

Powell: Increases in tariffs this year are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity

Make this go viral.

It's important to understand the irreparable harm argument against deploying the national guard in California. Trump is taking essential personnel away from fighting fires and drug trafficking to guard federal buildings against no one. Immigrants aren't the danger. Trump is.

It's infuriating how 99% of the coverage of this new war doesn't bother to mention that it is happening because we had an agreement to limit and monitor Iran's nuclear program, which even Trump's own aides said was working, and he blew it up because it was negotiated under Obama.

They announced this after today’s #SCOTUS ruling. The DeathStar regime is in full-on psychological terror mode today. What a bunch of A$$hats. Cruelty is their point. Sick. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/w...

I joined Symone Sanders, Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez to discuss the arrest of a New York City official and Democratic mayoral candidate, as well as the status of Trump’s federalization of the California National Guard in the courts. Watch and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaNg...

Yep. The media, and most Americans, have completely normalized Trump. He lies as he breathes, so each & every time he lies, it’s no longer news. Shame on people for normalizing him.👇

HIRONO: If ordered by the president to shoot peaceful protesters in the legs, would you carry it out? HEGSETH: Of course I reject the premise of your question HIRONO: Considering that the president in his first term actually ordered such a thing, it's not a premise you can reject

WARREN: If the president wanted to deploy Marines to Chicago and NYC, would you carry out that order even if the local governors and mayors objected? HEGSETH: Thankfully, NYC, unlike Gavin Newsom, is willing to step up and address the issue WARREN: I'll take that as a yes
