As long as they’re hiding their faces, badges and names we should stop calling them “federal agents.” Call them masked goons or unidentified thugs or whatever, unless and until they provide proper ID.

Arresting a public official for asking questions is dangerous intimidation and sends an unmistakably authoritarian message – that ICE doesn’t care about the rule of law, and that anyone exercising their right to challenge ICE and speak up for immigrants will be punished.

Adriana Smith’s baby was delivered. We wish we could say she delivered her own child, but she didn’t get a say in the matter. The state of Georgia got what they wanted. Today, Adriana Smith will be taken off life support. buff.ly/MH9FY07

With everything else going on in the world, this seems absolutely trivial, but as a @redsox.com fan, I am deeply, deeply disappointed. #Devers www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/15/s...

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, massive.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

WTH is law enforcement doing in downtown LA against PEACEFUL #NoKings protesters? Are they purposefully trying to provoke a response?

The conspiracy theorists claiming the shooter is a Democratic agent aren't just deflecting blame. This is also inciting more violence. First, it signals to terrorists that MAGA has their backs. Second, by saying Democrats are the source of violence, it renders MAGA violence as "self-defense."

Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.
