For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

"Trump came in and said, 'I can end this war,'" said @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social. "There's one way to end this war. You say to Vladimir Putin: 'If you don't stop the war, and we agree to the ceasefire terms I dictate, we are bringing Ukraine into NATO in 30 days.'"

A military parade for a sitting president is dictator North Korea stuff and it's dangerous. It's a Trump show of force that says "get out of line, and the military will handle you." www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

The Republicans' massive policy bill would do more than extend income tax cuts, add restrictions to Medicaid and pour funding into President Trump's deportation campaign. The 1,000-plus-page bill includes several lesser-known provisions that could have an impact on Americans' lives.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

“To be serious is not to detach. It is to ask more of ourselves than a hashtag. It is to recognise that feeling is not the end of moral life, but its beginning. That it must lead not to expression, but to understanding — & then, perhaps, to action…care that begins & ends with the self helps no one…”

Despite being one of the most visibly distinct faith traditions in the world, Sikhi remains poorly understood in the West. Sikhs are often seen, and just as often misread: their turbans mistaken, their names unfamiliar, their faith largely unknown. csesznekymiklos.substack.com/p/guru-arjan...

Democrats' efforts to hold President Trump accountable have been ineffective. But drawing on lessons from abroad, what succeeds is not talk about saving democracy but rather a practical focus on Trump's economic failures, corruption and scorn for his own followers. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/o...
