Questions remain about the Minnesota rampage. Anti-abortion extremism may shed light The suspect in the killing of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband texted, "Dad went to war last night,' evoking the language of the far right, Christian anti-abortion movement.(I... zpr.io/HPRML5TfHPt8

🇺🇸, under both parties, has abided by Article 3, preventing the forced return of noncitizens to their home nations when doing so presents the likelihood of torture. But DJT may have found a deceptive loophole, as he finagles more disappearances to 3rd world countries. 👀 www.vox.com/scotus/41616...

Dystopian.

🚨ICE Is Out of Control Trump's ICE is using a government built tracker app to hunt down immigrants like they're fugitives from a video game. 3,000 arrests a day. Quotas. Raids. Welcome to quota country. We break it down: youtu.be/6KYPevw7VHY?...

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

i am not being pollyannish when i insist that the people who sign up do not sign up to advance a president’s domestic political agenda www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

David Hogg has been forced out of his role as vice chair of the DNC. His departure follows months of intense infighting, and as Hogg told us, anger with his plan to oust what he called "asleep at the wheel" incumbents in primaries around the US. 🎧 Listen to Hogg on More to the Story 🎧

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

ICE in CA with Texas plates 🤔

Enjoy your canned vegetables for Thanksgiving, people. This is only going to get worse.

Did Trump’s FBI just arrest a sitting U.S. Senator—at a Kristi Noem press conference? 🚨 BREAKING: MSNBC is reporting California Senator Alex Padilla was shoved from the press conference and handcuffed. This isn’t okay. Everyone should be alarmed by this!

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

It’s times like these when we are fortunate to have a Secretary of Defense who was chosen because he could do a lot of pushups on TV.

This is Whiskey. She knows people pay good money for mud baths. Found this one for free! 13/10 very resourceful my friend (TT: ivycaponi)

This grotesque cowardly ICE bully grabbed and pushed community organizers from @newvamajority.bsky.social who are LEGALLY permitted to observe and record what is happening in the parking lot of a courthouse. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/i...

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

"To hear the president tell it, the process of making laws and policy the proper way is overly burdensome..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

"Reducing the operating budget by $900 million, as the Trump administration wants to do, would require closing 350 of the 433 parks, monuments, historic sites and other locations overseen by the Park Service..." (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/o...

"The underlying point isn’t to chastise the firms for making the wrong decision; it’s to remind those firms that it’s not too late to reverse course and join the ranks of the firms resisting Trump’s gambit..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

❗️SHAME❗️Avelo Airlines signed a contract to run deportation flights for the Trump regime. Human rights & laws be damned, the Avelo CEO wants the 💰 from ICE flights. Near Chicago's O'Hare Airport, we're over the Kennedy, spreading the word: #BoycottAvelo

"It's coming back to life. We're going to make it." George Foote, lawyer for the U.S. Institute of Peace sounds a hopeful note as he describes how the group is putting the pieces back together after DOGE illegally took over and decimated their organization.

Love this. Good people stepping up when the system fails our kids.

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

Jessica: We have big headlines, getting investment like $8.5 billion out of Qatar, that was already announced in 2023 and 2024. Abu Dhabi, he says $200 billion… announced during the Biden administration… He likes to show up and take credit for things other people did

They come for asylum, insisting they face persecution for their religion, or sexuality or for supporting the wrong politicians. For generations, they had been given the chance to make their case to U.S. authorities. Not anymore. apnews.com/article/trum...

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

“After school shootings, many Republicans try to shift the public conversation away from gun violence and toward mental health programs that might make mass shootings less likely. Student mental health grants had bipartisan support. “Trump is cutting them anyway.” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Sorry shaking so much I actually deleted it so I just put quick Short clip together, Here & Have a peaceful day Blueskys I'll catch up later, be safe everyone,

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Never again!

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

We saw the same thing with a power hungry Republican President in ‘74 The difference was the Republican Party at THAT time, was so ashamed of Nixon, for a minor burglary, and cover up, that they tossed him out of the Party and forced him to resign

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

BREAKING: The man who authorities said scaled an iron security fence in the middle of the night and broke into the Pennsylvania governor's mansion where he set a fire had planned to beat Gov. Josh Shapiro with a hammer if he found him, according to court documents. apnews.com/article/josh...

Sen. Susan Collins did not show up for her town hall but her constituents held her accountable anyways

This part

“What did they have that eludes their lesser-known heirs today? The answer is that Kissinger & Brzezinski were immigrants. Newcomers often value America’s freedoms more than its native-born and are statistically far likelier to start companies, win Nobel Prizes & launch schools of thought.” ~Ed Luce

36,000 people going to see Bernie Sanders on a Saturday in Los Angeles is pretty insane.

Who else needed this today? 🙋‍♀️ 🔊🔊🔊 📽️hamsterlife

If I had the power to keep children from ever feeling pain, hunger, or like they are"less than", my heart would be overflowing. This little man's smile is truly everything ❤️🥲 🎥jayshetty
