ICE has been abducting law abiding families who have been dutifully attending check-ins with ICE and forcing them into a federal building basement in Los Angeles where they are being denied food, water, and forced to sleep on the floor.

Cuts to foreign aid and public broadcasting, DHS and ICE overreach, DOGE cuts get blocked, and restored climate data. Here are 3 bad things and 3 good things you need to know this week to keep up your resistance!

The Constitution is clear — EVERYONE gets due process, not just citizens. And when an authoritarian like Trump erodes the due process rights of one group, it hurts all of us. We must stand up and fight for all of our rights.

OMG... this is total fuken insanity! #ICE

Happy Pride friends! 🏳️‍🌈 Live authentically and Love BIG! 🏳️‍🌈

Holy shit!! #SCOTUS is broken! All our sensitive #data can be accessed by #Doge????? www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

As Trump and Musk attack each other, don't forget: their ongoing DOGE cuts have made your life worse. It doesn't matter who wins the Trump-Musk feud. Thanks to them, millions of Americans have already lost crucial public services. youtu.be/M5LD2CSOzmI?...

Prime example of what's horribly wrong with our country:

Happy #Pride friends... My page is a very safe space. Know you are seen, heard and Loved. #LGBTQ #TransIsBeautiful

Last week I wrote that Trump is scapegoating Jews in a new way, using them as an excuse to deport students w/out due process for exercising their 1st Am rights. He certainly didn’t jump in to support American Jews after the horrific attack in Colorado www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/u...

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

Of all the things that didn’t happen, this didn’t happen the most. TACO Trump chickened out because bond yields went vertical and he was about to destroy the US economy - not China’s. China found other trading partners to help insulate from Trump’s insanity - we haven’t.

Interesting that the administration that claims to dislike it when refugees seek residency *illegally* is arresting refugees in *courts* when the seek immigration legally. MAGAs are just xenophobic white supremacist bigots.

! The CDC is keeping COVID vaccines on the recommended immunization schedule for kids, contradicting RFK Jr.'s announcement that he was taking it off. But CDC's guidance for pregnant women -- who are at high risk for scary stuff if not vaccinated -- is "no guidance." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/h...
