"Hundreds of military children who are students at Defense Department schools across the globe walked out of class to protest book bans, curriculum changes and restrictions on extracurricular activities that have resulted from Trump's crackdown on diversity." www.military.com/daily-news/2...

“They have clerks and non-clinical people triaging people and doing suicide assessments, and that doesn’t work,” Webb says. “Because if you ask a patient, ‘have you had any thoughts of harming yourself,’ and they kind of go ‘no?’ they can just check the no box.”

New from Judson Studios, for Angelenos who love their stained glass artistry but can't afford a custom window: a limited run of sun catchers, crafter's choice, for a few weeks only. www.judsonstudios.com/shop/

After Yasmin Williams emailed Trump ally & Kennedy Center president Richard Grenell to ask what's next for the arts venue, he lashed out and the convo went viral Yasmin hopped on a call with me to talk about it, the deafening silence from admins, how awfully KC employees are now treated, and more

Plainclothes agents. Trying to question elementary-aged kids. And lying that they had parents permission to do so.

If you ever have the opportunity to fly Avelo Airlines—don’t.

Classic abuser move: create a crisis and then position yourself as its solution. After the abuser “solves” the crisis, he will expect gratitude and adoration.

The Kidnapping Club of New York)a predecessor of the NYPD) used to do this to Black people. Not even just the ones who successfully escaped forced labor camps, but like, any Black person they could haul in front of a judge. Because it was profitable.

The Trump administration plans to fine migrants under deportation orders up to $998 a day if they fail to leave the United States and to seize their property if they do not pay, per Reuters

Indian law is everywhere these days--from Birthright Citizenship to annexation to, apparently, the Establishment Clause. #SCOTUS hears argument soon on whether to allow religious charter schools. The churches argue that Indian boarding schools serve as "history & tradition" for more such schools.

This is equal to or greater than the budget of five different cabinet departments (Justice, Treasury, Energy, Interior and Commerce). They are building a concentration camp network that dwarfs entire federal agencies.

SCOTUS says due process applies to deportees, but overturns TRO for filing wrong claim in wrong venue. It’s like calling the fire station to report your house is on fire only to have them say you called the wrong station and need to start over.

Kathleen Hanna and ESG’s Renee Scroggins Want to Rewrite the American Songbook The artists, along with singer-composer Tamar-kali, teamed up to honor pioneering 1970s rock band Fanny at New York's Lincoln Center.

Trump is reportedly targeting the slavery section of the National Museum of African-American History and Culture for possible removal. “Black people are not going to stand for this,” says Nikole Hannah Jones, the author of the 1619 Project.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are disrupting a breakthrough cancer treatment so they can fund tax cuts for billionaires. Tell your friends.

Never forget and never forgive the oligarchs and MAGA twitter grifters who led this country into collapse.

Here's how you end a Hands Off! demonstration, Santa Barbara style. Thanks to the Society of Fearless Grandmothers, who organized the human alphabet and took the drone shots! #indivisible #handsoff

Oralè resister Mariachi’s in Los Angeles Protest #50501Movement

Dear, Elon Best wishes from Wisconsin

Simultaneously an attack on free speech, higher education, and the international students who subsidize American students

There’s 70 minutes to go before the LA protest even starts at Pershing Square and there’s already a couple hundred people here, which is impressive because there isn’t a lot of shade. This looks like it’s shaping up to be pretty big.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Check out the drum line and marching Elmo at Philadelphia HANDS OFF! Damn, Philly... y'all got style for miles!! This is what Democracy looks like!

A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a rural town in northern New York. But the location is no coincidence—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, LIVES THERE. He allowed his own neighbors, including a third grader, to be jailed. Deplorable.

I often give MSM headline-writers/editors a hard time on framing of political news. So now a note of compliment to hed-writers + photo and layout editors who put together today's WSJ print front page. (h/t @jorgeguajardo.bsky.social ) If Dickens or Dreiser were writing this, would seem overdone

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.
