Told a reporter we will need collective action in the days ahead at UVA and that the reality is, it will likely require the famous alums stepping up. They don't care about a lil Black girl from the 757. But people like Katie will matter more.

“I am inclined to fight for what I believe in, and I believe deeply in this University. But I cannot make a unilateral decision to fight the federal government in order to save my own job.” A statement from University of Virginia President Jim Ryan, on his decision to resign:

CNN: “Trump planning to dismiss asylum claims for potentially hundreds of thousands of migrants and immediately deportable…” The Statue of Liberty 🗽 is straight-up lying to people at this point. www.cnn.com/2025/06/25/p...

I've been trying to confirm my intuition that the rank "General" is actually "Captain General" and this led me to fact that Admiral is actually Sea Emir.

“Happy Birthday, my amazing hero, @mrrickygervais.bsky.social!” says rescued laboratory dog Betsy. “Woofing you the best day ever; thank you for all your protection of us animals, especially for helping me #EndAnimalTesting. I love you!” ❤️🐾🎉🥳🎂🍸 #Dogs #Cats #Science #RickyGervais #Animals #EDM187

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

While Israel and Iran trade attacks, and America and Iran trade attacks, do not forget Netanyahu’s horrific genocide in Gaza is still killing and starving Palestinians every day, and Trump is dispatching Gastapo like ICE/Police to kidnap and deport migrants without due-process. Don’t get distracted.

Spanish MEP Irene María Montero Gil slams “Ursula BOMB der Leyen” for backing Israel’s attack on Iran: “Stop bending the knee to Trump and Netanyahu. If you want war, go yourselves.”

The FDA just approved lenacapavir for HIV prevention. It costs $25 to make. Gilead is charging $28,218/year. If we were serious about ending HIV, it would be free. But Gilead’s lobbying power protects greed. This system is completely broken. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Tulsi Gabbard calling out Trump over Iran in 2019

I reget to inform you that Tulsi Gabbard was briefly right about something.

Tulsi Gabbard in 2019: “Trump seems determined to go to war with Iran”

Senator Alex Padilla gives an emotional speech on the floor. He discusses his experience of being detained by agents while trying to ask Kristi Noem a question about immigration policies. He also was escorted by a FBI agent & a national guardsman who knew exactly who he was but stood by silently.

Let's see if I understand this: Sanctuary cities bad. Sanctuary farms and meatpacking firms good. Did I get that right?

Today, while Huntington, WV folk were meeting and protesting on behalf of immigrants and other marginalized groups, happy with ourselves that it was a peaceful, even joyful celebration of our right to call out injustice, two blocks up the street, to our surprise... www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

I've been tear gassed. 5:15 pm, 300 feet from the Stanley Mosk Courthouse. I was covering the protest in LA wearing clearly marked press credentials.

Today at the Santa Fe Springs swap meet. US Marines literally raiding a swap meet with ICE. Thankfully, most of the booths were closed.

Oh hey, the little shit who was throwing Sieg Heils and arrested for brandishing a firearm at today’s No Kings protest in Nashville cosplays as a Nazi and does WWII reenactments in Linden, TN. [insert surprised pikachu face]

LAPD shooting impact munitions at a non combative crowd. People just sitting and relaxing on benches leap up with their kids. This is incredibly dangerous. These munitions can and do permanently maim and kill. (Lots of studies exist!) Los Angeles!

Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

According to Real West Virginia (online magazine), the Mountain State has lost 400 coal mining jobs since Trump announced his tariffs, with more losses to follow. Way to go, Lutnick!
