If you live in a blue city—especially a sanctuary city—brace yourself. ICE is targeting these areas hard. The Trump regime is zeroing in on jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. It’s not random. It’s political.

Probably his best post ever. Concise, good visuals.

The SEIU-USWW President was just arrested at an anti-ICE demonstration after ICE kidnappings in LA. PLZ SHOW UP! FRIDAY JUNE 6 AT 4pm PST DOWNTOWN LA FEDERAL BUILDING 300 N LOS ANGELES ST, LOS ANGELES, CA 90012 #StrongerTogether #LosAngeles #50501Movement #FiftyFiftyOne #NoKings #PeoplesMovement

ICE raids hit across Los Angeles today—and locals are rising up. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏾 This was about an hour ago…

If we switched to #renewableenergy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall by 40% because they're just carrying coal & oil & gas!! buff.ly/dpTrSpO We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #climate #energy #GreenNewDeal

In 2023 @ronanfarrow.bsky.social wrote an eye popping piece about Musk’s power and he has been sounding the alarm about the dangers of unaccountable billionaires being so intertwined with the federal government ever since. Few people have thought about this more. He is our first guest tonight.

I said this indirectly the other day, but it deserves special focus today. ABC's parent, Disney, capitulated to Trump early on. But ABC continues to get really well-sourced stories, like the one on MDTN prosecutor Ben Schrader's resignation. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

“It’s impossible to get him back from El Salvador until we manufacture a criminal charge” is a hell of an argument

Ben Schrader stood up for rule of law, and justice today. He resigned his position rather than pursue charges that are clearly politically motivated. Dear USA- you don’t have to say yes. You don’t have to follow orders. History has its eyes on you. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

So Harvard must follow Trump’s DEI ban—but they also must admit more conservative students. That’s laughable. Students from red states won’t be able to compete with students from the real world when they’re being taught the Bible is a history book and enslaved people were “happy workers”.

If our culture wasn't so misinformed and resistant to masks as an air health protection, I would expect officials would issue air alerts and distribute masks in critical wildfire smoke zones. We see water warnings at contaminated beaches but seem to do little about contaminated air. 🤷‍♂️

The decision to pursue charges against Abrego GarcĂ­a now, after he wasn't charged in 2022, led to the resignation of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor who spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Nashville and was most recently the chief of the criminal division.

Tribal college leaders said they were stunned by the proposed cuts to their already insufficient funding and had more questions than answers. “It’s a dagger, and I don’t know how we can survive these types of cuts,” one college president said. By @mattkrupnick.bsky.social

Canadians landed on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, 6 June 1944, and helped begin the liberation of Western Europe. #DDay #CanadaRemembers 🇨🇦 More information: www.veterans.gc.ca

What are you doing about this Doug Ford ? Ontario is now the measles epicentre of the western world. There have been 2,009 cases of measles in the province since October. Cases have been climbing by the hundreds over the last month. Three quarters of those cases occurred in the unvaccinated.

Chaos at a US Federal Courthouse as ICE abducts a man moments after his immigration hearing, people bravely tried to block the abduction. #3E

Scenes like this were DIRECTLY caused by Stephen Miller's wailing that ICE can't arrest the number of people he promised they would arrest (bc he lied abt how many criminal aliens there are).

Dominican man thrown to the ground and arrested outside immigration courtroom just now, an activist, who is a US citizen was also taken away in the chaotic scene. A lawyer later tried to ask the remaining agents where the activist was taken. "you just arrested a US citizen which is illegal."

Thank you Secretary Lammy for today’s discussion. We reaffirmed the deep and enduring partnership between Canada and the United Kingdom, rooted in shared values. From global security to economic resilience, we are working together through strategic diplomacy to meet today’s challenges.

Smoke from wildfires in Canada has spread more than 5,000 miles, reaching Russia and Europe during the past week. Parts of the United States and Canada will see poor air quality today.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

I'm actually super fucking mad that the Elon Musk era is gonna end because of narcissist infighting with a former reality TV show host, and not because even a single institution in American life made a serious effort to hold him responsible for a decade plus long crime spree

Today is the day. Months of planning have led to this as we head to the National Mall for the Unite for Veterans rally. I am slated to be the last speaker. It will be a big day. My thoughts on the history and this moment.

📢 to everyone in Timmins: NO BILL 5 without Indigenous representation and consultation!

Last year, Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products. Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month. This is corporate greed at its worst.

This film, directed by @bernard-henri-levy.com in collaboration with cinematographer Marc Roussel,is the fourth work by the French philosopher and writer portraying the front lines of the war in #Ukraine.

Carney agrees to high-level talks with Beijing on resolving Canada-China trade war www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

Today Russia attacked Ukraine with 38 cruise missiles instead of over 108 because Operation Spiderweb took out so many of the bombers from which these missiles are launched. Russia intended to launch the largest-ever missile attack to break the record of 108 cruise missiles.

🧵🚨Russia planned operation Zeus' Lightning, largest-ever cruise missile attack on all of Ukraine for the night of June 1 to try to force Ukraine's hand at Istanbul the next day. However, the Ukrainian drones destroyed many of these very bombers, already fueled, hours before they were to take-off.

This is an image of British Commandos on a approaching Sword Beach on D-Day, 6th June 1944. War is a horrific thing; these men left their loved ones to enter its hellish cauldron. Some never returned. We remember their immense bravery and sacrifices so that they should never be necessary again.

Parents and teachers in southern California are urgently asking for help to find a fourth grader who is being “held captive” by immigration authorities in Texas.
