“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

NEW: The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that a 2021 censorship law can't be used to ban teaching about race and gender in Oklahoma's higher education institutions. This is a win for academic freedom and the First Amendment.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Impeach and Remove Trump

The SAVE ACT suppresses the votes of married women. The GOP veils this horrific bill saying it prevents non-citizens from voting. That’s a lie. Non-citizens are already barred from voting. This bill is intended to strip away a married woman’s rights. #Pinks #OneV1 ⬇️ www.forbes.com/sites/hollyc...

This will not end well.

Very well said! It's so maddening and so sad that this is true. Thank you Karly @karlykingsley.bsky.social 💙 💙 #RESIST #SpeakUP #UNITE #ShowUP #RECLAIM 💙

In classic form, Trump sidestepped the actual tragedy and used the shooting to tee off on Gov. Walz. No solutions. No sympathy. Just blame, branding, and campaign trail jabs. Because Trump is broken and flawed in almost every way a human being could be.

Trump set tariff policies that drive up the cost of competitors’ smartphones—then launched his own budget phone to undercut them. Regulating the market while profiting from it? That’s not just unethical, it’s next-level corruption…

[email protected] on Mike Lee: "Either he's so mentally ill and deranged that he's convinced himself that this person is a Marxist, and that Tim Walz is responsible....Or he knows it's a lie....either one of those options makes him totally unacceptable as a person in public trust."

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Political violence must always be condemned.

Trump says mass deportations are urgent—but not if they mess with his donors’ pockets. ICE was told to back off farms & hotels 'cause it was bad for business. But LA and Chicago? Open season. Please be for real—this is the weaponization of government against cities that refuse to bow down to him.

I can think of no good reason why this administration would want to take away resources to find lifesaving cancer and Alzheimer's cures. Turns out, their reason is not good at all: to pay for tax cuts for corporations. www.wsaw.com/video/2025/0...

IMO the maybe-largest day of protest in US history should remain in the news for a bit. "None of what he is doing — none of it — is at all popular; he’s hearing this more and more."

Reading the new American Bar Association lawsuit against the Trump administration and noticed this. It still boggles my mind that I was literally the only targeted lawyer willing to talk on camera.

GAGE WOOD THROWS A NO-HITTER WITH 19 STRIKEOUTS IN THE MCWS! Mike Monaco: "SWING AND A MISS! GREATNESS FROM GAGE! NO-HITTER!... the third no-hitter in the history, over 78 years of this event, and the first in 65 years." Ben McDonald: "I've never seen anything like that..."

Extremely annoyed (and unsurprised) to learn that Chinese people figured out smallpox inoculation in the 1500s, yet basically all of smallpox history books available in English are about American colonists using prior knowledge to do smallpox inoculation. ☹️

One implication of Trump’s plan to sell green cards for $5 million is that it would allow foreign billionaires and oligarchs to start legally pouring money into U.S. elections (including into Trump’s political operation).

Oh, the fine print says....

At the start of military service (and each and every promotion) we take an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. The military is trained to obey his lawful (even awful) orders, but disobey illegal orders. kettering.org/our-duty-is-...

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

What’s Father’s Day without a few good Dad Jokes?

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Reminder to Arkansas officials: Public schools are no place for religious indoctrination. We'll see you in court.

The Father I Didn’t Know – And What It Taught Me On this Father’s Day, I want to share something I learned the hard way. It’s a bit rough in the beginning, but it matters. Especially if you’re a dad. 🧵

Amen.

Here's something I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits.

Republicans in Congress got death threats for refusing to vote for Jim Jordan as Speaker after they ousted McCarthy for passing the debt ceiling bill.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

via @douglandry.bsky.social "I just got back from the Trump parade and I have to say it was legitimately the worst executed mass attendance event I’ve ever seen One overarching thought: how do you spend $80 million and fumble the basics? Many more thoughts..." 🧵 🧵 🧵

I was so happy to stand in the rain along with my fellow Tulsans today. Warms my soul to know there are so many like-minded people living in this blood red state. #NoKings

Trump is cutting National Cancer Institute funding by $2.7B in the name of “saving taxpayer dollars.” John Harwood points out that Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires are 18 times that amount. But unlike billionaire tax cuts, federally funded research is a “return on investment for the entire country.

Every day is confirmation that Trump is unfit for the presidency.

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

Immigrants make our communities richer and more vibrant. Even in Central Arkansas. Especially in Central Arkansas. Tell your senators and representatives we abhor ICE and its message of hate. It’s on them for not passing comprehensive immigration reform.
