The arrest was egregious enough but not to let him use his walker & cuff his hands behind him was intentionally cruel & odious.

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

Sen. Alex Padilla blocked GOP efforts to pass the SAVE Act, calling it an attack on voter access. He’s pushing new legislation to expand registration, fight Trump’s anti-voter order and defend free elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Hit the streets tomorrow. Be nonviolent. Be joyfully defiant. Be defiantly joyful. Ridicule him. Condemn fascism. Oppose I.C.E. Affirm diversity. Embody America. Love your neighbor. Refuse to be intimidated. Be safe. Be loud. Be encouraged. #NoKingsDay

no, No, NO!!!

Senator Padilla of California was wrestled to the ground and handcuffed today for doing his job: Asking a question of Kristi Noem, the Trump administration's Secretary of Homeland Security. sign.moveon.org/petitions/th...

“This is a rotten bill that provides big tax breaks to billionaires at everyone else’s expense.” @vanhollen.senate.gov is clear: Republicans’ #BillionaireTaxScam would destroy clean energy, kill jobs, and raise family's energy costs. 📲 Call your senators at 202-224-3121 to stop this bill.

Locations....

Heather Cox Richardson has especially outstanding podcasts on June 10 (open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...), 6/11, & 6/12 on Substack. I highly recommend the vision, analysis and perspective presented.

Noem’s Goons crossed the reddest of red lines by attacking and handcuffing a U.S. Senator. In times past Senators of both parties would have rallied behind their fellow Senator and called Noem and her henchmen into the Senate to demand their resignations. MAGA Senators will do nothing. #ProudBlue

I wish these babies well....

Spineless.... House Approves Trump’s Request to Cut $9.4 Billion in Funding for NPR, PBS, and Foreign Aid

Sickeningly predictable....though we are already gagging..... Who will be next? First they came for....then they came for me......

Did these folks not read the entire bill? Democrats Who Voted 'Yes' on House Resolution 488 Based on GovTrack, which documents Congress' legislative activities, the following 75 Democrats voted in favor of the first resolution expressing "gratitude" to ICE:

Engage!

So, we're these comments truthful or not? Please print the policy in full..... Correspondent Terry Moran out at ABC News, two days after suspension over Stephen Miller post ground.news/article/corr...

Perspective....& guidance...

Removing all knowledgeable people will certainly "restore trust"....NOT! RFK Jr. removes all members of CDC panel advising U.S. on vaccines

So sad....

Good News! denvergazette.com/news/ban-on-...

Last night, President Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles, using the excuse of protests against his immigration. We have been working closely with law enforcement. There is no unmet need. The President is attempting to inflame passions and provoke a response.

Higher courts more political & not to be trusted to uphold rule of law.. That's beginning to show..... Appeals Court Lets Trump Block AP From some White House Spaces for Now

Oh good! NOT...

PROMISING INDEED. So very glad some countries value science: Scientists in Japan develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours

Then, thankfully, there is this:

Not a new article, but new to me....& ghastly...

Excellent synopsis .... www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Hope everyone stays safe....

This is so bad it's almost funny..... If only it were.....

No kidding! U.S. growth forecast cut sharply by OECD as Trump tariffs sour global outlook

Pretty interesting, especially for those in tech....

Point of no return....soon... Nearly 40% of the World’s Glaciers Are Already Doomed, Scientists Say

Thank you for standing strong, Rev. Barber!

Absolutely maddeningly insane to cut such helpful departments!

The link below is to an older ProPublica report listing the DOGE Team-names, photos, age, partial resumes, assignments. GREAT work ProPublica!

Federal Senators, you have an opening.... USE IT!

Thank you Al Heaton! ....Commissioner Pond, why are you against protecting beautiful land from development?

@nickkristof.bsky.social to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, after Rubio denied deaths due to USAID grant cutoffs: "The only debate is whether to measure the dead in the thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands." 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

Worthy dedication... Swimmer circumnavigates Martha's Vineyard for sharks

Trump administration orders extra vetting of all visa applicants linked to Harvard University

Vindictive, unethical, scoundral.....

And I wish her a safe & rapid journey.....

The lower courts are ethical....the top court NOT. Our best defense is temporary & limited only by the top court's docket capabilities. Supreme Court rules Trump can revoke protected status for 500,000 immigrants pending appeal. 2026 can't come soon enough for me....

There goes our judiciary.... Justice Department Curtails American Bar Association’s Role in Vetting Trump’s Judicial Nominees
