NEW: A protester was shot and killed at the Salt Lake City 'No Kings' march. A man is in police custody, booked on suspicion of murder—but not the one who fired the gun. From video, witnesses and interviews, @schotthappens.com and I tried to piece together what really happened Saturday. Our report-

We literally passed a constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights. Fuck the GOP ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/17/r...

NEW statement from NYC Councilwoman Shahana Hanif (@shahanafrombk.bsky.social) on Brad Lander's arrest:

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

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.

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

Governor JB Pritzker said to Rep. Mary Miller: "I am not going to be lectured to by somebody who extols the virtue of Hitler." Finally, someone says it to their faces.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Credit where it’s due: Scott Galloway cooked here

"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

MUST WATCH: She came out with her girlfriend. They took her high school diploma. This is bigger than one school—it’s a system built to silence. F*ck Around & Find Out is the playbook for fighting back. Read it. Share it. Use it: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

My interview with ANTIREAL, the indie artist from Scotland who discovered and later Bungie admitted the "unauthorized use" of her art in Marathon. She felt unease during the announcement in 2023, but the alpha release confirmed her suspicion. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

NPR has identified three Trump administration officials with close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a prominent Holocaust denier.

Well, here we go. The GOP has just introduced a bill to effectively outlaw all pornography. The bill dismantles the Supreme Court's Miller Test for obscenity, removing provisions that the content be patently offensive to community standards. dailycaller.com/2025/05/08/n...

NEW — I’ve obtained audio of new acting FEMA head David Richardson threatening staff in an all hands meeting this morning. As first reported by Reuters, he told those who resisted change in the agency, “Don’t get in my way…I will run right over you.” Listen to the clip here:

There’s a looooooong history of legacy media casually yoinking scoops/ideas without credit, sometimes veering into straight plagiarism, and @marisakabas.bsky.social is right to call it out. It’s fucking bullshit, it’s disrespectful, & it cuts directly into the livelihood of independent journalists.

A classic mix of this regime's cruelty and incompetence: HHS *accidentally* emailed a spreadsheet showing plans to kill 150+ research grants on child welfare—Head Start, child abuse prevention, help for low-income kids. No notice, no process.

we need to spend more time with @repdangoldman.bsky.social's clip. not a single penny toward disaster relief but TONS OF YOUR CASH to "protect" drumpf's golf habit 🧢 @mrsquirrel.bsky.social @zentrixter.bsky.social

BREAKING: Two sources tell NPR that DOGE employees have gained accounts on classified networks that hold nuclear secrets. The Department of Energy denies the story: "This reporting is false," a spokesperson told NPR in an emailed statement. www.npr.org/2025/04/28/n...

Musk is destroying AmeriCorps. It looks like it’s RIP for AmeriCorps. The nonprofit that represents AmeriCorps’ state commissions which organize state-level community service programs funded by the federal agency announced that commissions in all 50 states,

Federal health officials have reversed the decision to fire a few dozen scientists at the FDA’s food-safety labs, and say they are conducting a review to determine if other critical posts were cut.

The housing market just had its worst March since 2009.

The FBI just arrested a sitting judge.

Democrat Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old internet personality and former journalist, received more financial support in her 9th District campaign’s first week than veteran lawmaker Jan Schakowsky did in the entire first quarter.

The records show that Palantir is actively working on the technical infrastructure underpinning the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts which could soon impact U.S. citizens. 🔗 www.404media.co/ice-just-pai...

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

We're told the FDA is now making plans to end most of its routine food safety inspections That oversight work would be effectively outsourced to state and local authorities, under this plan www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

"We have instances now in western countries where people are being arrested [...] the cop comes knocking on their door, you're going to go to jail for 60 days for posting something online. You know, this is crazy stuff that's happening all over." Marco Rubio on April 16, 2025, if you can believe it

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)
