Wordle 1,460 4/6* Been a long day I’ll take this They’ll make more ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ 🟨🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟨🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 #wordle

Masked federal agents just illegally arrested New York City’s elected Comptroller. Outrageous. The Trump Administration went after Brad Lander for asking this simple question: “Do you have a warrant?” By asking this question, Brad was standing up for the basic rights of all Americans.

Today, people—from students to federal workers, from immigrants to the LGBTQ+ community—find themselves forced to fight deportations, surveillance, and the drastic erosion of fundamental human rights. So, WIRED dedicated a whole issue on How To Win A Fight. Start ⬇️: www.wired.com/story/editor...

Good morning, a yellow flower to bring a splash of sunshine to your timeline 😊 Have a good start to the week 🙏

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

Hundreds of acres in Michigan are covered in parallel rows of earth that are the remains of an ancient Native American agricultural system. The surprise find has archaeologists amazed.

Ross told me he enlisted in the Marines when he was 17 because he loves his country and to help his parents get a path to citizenship. protesting directly in front of Marines deployed by President Trump he told me "it makes me feel sad... a lot of Marines, they’re all Hispanic."

Amanpour, "Netanyahu has wanted to do this for decades, he has never believed in the diplomatic path" "No American president has allowed him to do it until president Trump" "Trump has failed on all the big foreign policy issues that he promised he would solve and quickly, they've got worse"

Dodgers utilityman Kiké Hernández took to Instagram on Saturday to express his support for immigrants and decry the recent militarized raids in the city by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, "The Iranian people are not the same as the Iranian government" "The Israeli leadership doesn't represent the whole of the Israeli people, and there are many Israelis who are appalled at what their leader is doing in Gaza"

Christiane Amanpour, "The people of Iran have been demonised and dehumanised, always associated with their leadership" "The people of Gaza have been dehumanised and delegitimised" "It's not fair to have collective punishment"

The results are in! There were my favorite signs from yesterday’s No Kings protests. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.

A college classmate in Corvallis, Oregon sent me this photo she took at the “No Kings” protest there. I’m sure a lot of people can relate to it.

I’d no idea it had gotten so threatening to @dieworkwear.bsky.social . A salute for this refusal to be silenced and cowed. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Business column in today’s Sunday Times reporting that a majority of Americans believe in the US is heading in the right direction How is this possible, I wondered? So I looked into the pollster, Rasmussen, and turns it out was secretly working for Trump team in 2024….

We’re absolutely blown away. We estimate that more than 10,000 Capital Region residents showed up to our ❌👑 event today, completely occupying both sides of the full length of Wolf Road, and including hundreds of honking cars decorated for the occasion

1m people allegedly in boston today. the scale of this is just crazy. i think record-breaking www.wcvb.com/article/more...

Millions marched in cities and towns across the U.S. in "No Kings" protests against the Trump administration just hours before Trump's military parade.

I have never seen as many American flags at a left-leaning protest in my 30+ years of attending. I got permission to share each of these.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Lots of empty space on the mall half an hour before the parade starts.

To mobilize the National Guard, Trump cited 10 U.S.C. 12406, which authorizes the president to do so when the U.S. faces foreign invasion or rebellion or when he cannot otherwise execute the laws. This is NOT such an occasion. So today’s coup is manifestly illegal and must be stopped judicially.
