Wow. Some people are upset about gutting the national endowment for the humanities. But fear not. The Big Beautiful Bill appropriates $40 million for "for the procurement of statues" for the President's "Garden of Heroes" www.budget.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Mohawk Students File Legal Suit Over Changes Impacting Access to Federal Financial Aid nativenewsonline.net...

Two-thirds of voters at Indiana University Bloomington’s sole on-campus polling site used their university ID to vote last fall. Indiana banned students from using these IDs for voting this spring. boltsmag.org/indiana...

This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country. "This Supreme Court is an existential threat to the rule of law." – Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

This shit is effing scary and nuts. [Many of these contractors are also posing as regular ICE agents (already notorious for shocking behavior); both groups appear in disturbing online footage wearing balaclavas and often full military combat gear on American soil,].....

Today, I would love to see everyone give up one meal they would otherwise buy out to give to the houseless who maybe haven't eaten for a few days. On this day, #settlersaturday, and I never use that because I believe everyone can help if they are willing to share the wealth taken from Indigenous

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves. If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such. 🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

Today's ruling on birthright citizenship allows presidents to do what judges have ruled illegal, writes @pemalevy.bsky.social. No matter how brazenly unconstitutional a presidential act may be, the courts cannot protect anyone who does not personally sue or is unable to join a class action lawsuit.

“I have no doubt that, if judges must allow the Executive to act unlawfully in some circumstances, as the Court concludes today, executive lawlessness will flourish..." @pemalevy.bsky.social unpacks KBJ's dire warning to the nation following today's Supreme Court rulings:

Holy Crap. Just straight up looting at this point. Or like was already looting. But just bringing in a semi to haul out the loot faster.

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor. One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

Kenneth Chesebro, the lawyer who helped orchestrate the fake elector scheme to overturn the 2020 election, has been permanently disbarred in New York.

This is a lie (as usual). While I disagree with the decision, IT LEAVES THE INJUNCTIONS OF THE BIRTHRIGHT EO IN PLACE, just narrows them to the plaintiffs. And it does not limit nationwide class actions, which will be filed to achieve the identical outcomes. The EO remains unconstitutional.

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court upheld a portion of the Affordable Care Act that requires health plans to provide free preventive care such as cancer screenings, contraception and immunizations.

Month end is nearly here and I can feel the stress of it already. As always, we post our reminder that we gratefully accept kokum gifts that help our little family to survive. Miigwetch for the helpers and those who share. Sigh, wishing for better times ahead for us all 💞🪶

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

Opinion: We will not stay silent on vaccines, say leaders of five major U.S. medical associations www.statnews.com/2025/06/26/v...

Wow was that fast--an immigrant advocate group already filed an amended complaint seeking class action relief in its birthright citizenship case in federal court in Maryland

tired: 'Big Balls' out WIRED: 'Big Balls' is back and now at the Social Security Administration, we have learned from a White House official. SCOOP:

McConnell says people will “get over” cuts to Medicaid. People don’t GET OVER illnesses, the need for medical care or the closure of rural clinics and hospitals. The wealthy should GET OVER their obsession with money.

Federal vaccine advisers picked by RFK Jr. voted to effectively remove an ingredient from flu shots, achieving a controversial goal of anti-vaccine activists and illustrating how their priorities are becoming official government guidance.

U.S. Senate Republicans suffered a significant setback Thursday when the parliamentarian ruled several changes to Medicaid in the “big, beautiful bill” don’t comply with the complex rules for moving a reconciliation package, reports @jennifershutt.bsky.social.

The Senate parliamentarian struck down several major health care measures in Republicans’ tax bill, including Medicaid changes that the GOP was counting on to help pay for President Trump’s tax cuts. www.statnews.com/2025/06/26/s...

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

The Mohawks of Kahnawake Council launches a new campaign to raise awareness about their efforts to regain some 24,000 acres of traditional lands south of the island of Montreal. That story and more on the latest APTN News Brief: pod.fo/e/2eeb61

We have 3 single moms needing food this evening, one caring also for an elder. If anyone can help, we would so appreciate that. We have some items but need milk, bread, fruit and some canned goods. Miigwetch for any help and love to everyone. 💞🪶

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

Yes, we are fucked. I would highly suggest everyone take care when going to large gatherings. Orange started this war.

U.S. Citizens Spend on Average 180 days in ICE Detention when wrongfully detained! Spend a couple seconds watching this 👇🏽 youtube.com/shorts/9xjOv...

This is good and important www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

UPDATE: “The man who impersonated ICE to intimidate the employees of a Philly auto repair center — and steal about $1,000 — will face numerous felony and misdemeanor charges…”: www.phillyvoice.com/philly-robbe... Fake ICE agents were inevitable. How can cities be proactive about this?

Health groups are mobilizing behind the scenes to preserve access for vaccines as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. works to upend the nation’s decades-old vaccine system, according to public health experts.

ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens migrantinsider.com/p/ice-has-de...

The Supreme Court majority today allowed third-country deportations to continue for now with only the barest wisps of allusion to due process. But what strikes me most is the cavalier way it did so. (Thread) www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p... www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

This is a devastating ruling. You can read it, and Sotomayor's biting dissent here: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

The Trump administration said that it would open up 58 million acres of back country in national forests to road construction and development, removing protections that had been in place for a quarter century.

HEALTH NEWS 💉 So as the rest of the world is cured of lung cancer people in the US will continue to die for no good reason.

This was truly only a matter of time. There is no way to deport, as they promised, 10 million people in a “precise” way. This was always going to be a dragnet for people ICE have decided *look* like an immigrant becuse ultimately this administration does not see nonwhite people as citizens.
