Communities aren’t staying silent about ICE… 18-year-old Massachusetts high school student Marcelo Gomes was taken by ICE on his way to volleyball practice Saturday morning. No word on where he’s being held. Marcelo missed graduation today, so Milford HS graduates marched to rally in solidarity.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Just leaving this here since the big parade is coming up

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

It’s always “two weeks”

You took a screenshot of my post and added your opinion above it: I subscribe to WAPO & shared w/o paywall. I disagree with your post: RFK Jr is responsible here. And what you did is not cool, @desertlover.bsky.social

Trump’s hateful comments on this Memorial Day underscores how disgraceful and intolerable this malignant man is and will always be. As much as we express gratitude for the men & women who sacrificed their lives, he will forever be a heinous stain on our beloved country.

@a19marvet.bsky.social Thank you *so* much, Joe, today and everyday. I salute you.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

To all veterans, and especially my dear friend Harvey Lapp (RIP), Army/ Vietnam/ thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
