Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

Just Confirming: Gilbert the rescue dog was shot during the murder of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman. His wounds were so severe that he was euthanized. A sad, sad story all around.

Hudson Valley erupted with hundreds marching in the "No Kings" rally, sending a powerful message against tyranny in one of the nation’s key battleground states. The fight for democracy is far from over. #NoKings #HudsonValley #TyrannyFighters #BattlegroundState www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

VERY PROUD of MARION NY..we are tiny but mighty #NoKingsProtest

Best image of the day:

Big crowd at #NoKings in Williamsville, NY. Lots of support from honking cars.

Bethel, Alaska in the YK-Delta is part of #NoKings

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

Oh, Stefanik remembered she is from NY. Trying to get a job after being dumped by the orange menace.

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

Don't overlook what she's saying here. She said that the feds are taking over Los Angeles. That's when Padilla spoke up.

Afterwards, Sen. Padilla framed what happened in exactly the right way: "If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question...I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers, in Los Angeles & throughout California & the country."

This video shows what happened to Sen. Padilla after they forcibly removed him from Kristi Noem's press conference. He's given orders from the officers that would cause him to smash his face, then pushed to the ground and handcuffed. Via: x.com/elex_michael...

Senator Padilla cuffed on the ground for trying to ask Noem a question… 😳🇺🇸

Enjoy your canned vegetables for Thanksgiving, people. This is only going to get worse.

Such a beautiful evening for a walk! There's a great show on #NaturePBS @PBS about hummingbirds. They're amazing creatures. And it's also #HollywoodSquares night #Spike #TVPicks #Puppylove #Dogs

We feed you. They hunt us.

Protesters on the move up Empire St. in Providence at 6:40 pm tonight…

Kentucky, a cold front is moving through the state today with the possibility of damaging winds, heavy rain and isolated hail. The strength will increase as it moves east. Please have your weather alerts on, avoid high water and stay safe.

I have a bunch of crows that follow me on my walks now, and suddenly a bunch of them landed close and started cawing nonstop furiously. I thought I'd pissed them off somehow -- when a coyote rounded the corner. Trotted past me on the opposite side, side-eyed me, and kept going.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Yes, please.

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

This amazing post by ABC News senior national correspondent Terry Moran is 💯 spot on! Thank you for speaking the truth, Terry!!!

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Him: where are all the coffee filters? Me:

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

How is this week not over yet??? What do you mean there’s ANOTHER day? 😭

Petition to have Andy Cohen host the Trump-Musk White House Housewives Reunion. America deserves all the tea 🫖. Also kill the bill. 😉

22-year-old Cole Schmidtknecht's asthma medicine abruptly jumped from $55 to $700. Unable to get the medicine he needed, he left without it. Cole suffered an asthma attack and died 5 days later. His inhaler was empty & his insurance corp was UnitedHealth. www.qasimrashid.com/p/did-united...

We only rate dogs. This is Chewbacca having a spa day. He's trying to relax. Please give him some privacy. 13/10

Sukhjot Singh "This fierce peregrine mom was patrolling her territory to provide a safe airspace for her newly fledged babies. I thought she was going to attack a few gulls that flew close, but she decided to take a hard right and turn around, offering a rare face-to-face moment with the camera."

I love this for her.

Seriously, they aren’t even hiding it now

Soothing thread…

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

ICE agents refuse to show their ID earlier today (May 30th, 2025) in Great Barrington, Massachusetts
