Insightful article by @jamellebouie.net

“We, a diverse coalition of Jews at Columbia and Barnard, wholeheartedly reject the invocation of Jewish safety as a pretense to persecute, detain, and deport fellow students and community members without due process of law.” www.columbiaspectator.com/opinion/2025...

Touching stories in this Guardian article."America is on the move...They’re being propelled by hostile political forces bearing down on them because of who they are, what they believe, or for their medical needs." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

' “The problems are still there. We still have harmful algal blooms, we still have fisheries that are collapsing, waters you can’t swim in. These problems don’t go away because we fired all the people who were trying to solve a problem,” said one Noaa veteran ' www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

“Department of Government Efficiency.”

Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, an uber conservative stalwart on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals for decades, just made almost verbatim the same point Justice Sotomayor has been making, most recently in her statement in the Abrego-Garcia case.

BREAKING: New York State Attorney General Letitia James breaks her silence, responding to Trump's retaliation against her and hands him his ass. Letitia James is a fearless woman. Must-watch:

Re: U.S. CECOT detainees, the main q is NOT 'did they ever allegedly commit a crime?' Rather: Is the US allowed to deliver them into lifetime imprisonment in a notorious Salvadoran prison camp without charge, trial, sentencing, or consideration of international/asylum/anti-torture law? Clearly no!
