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.

"This has nothing to do with political party. Our mission is to advance civil rights, and the current president has made clear that his mission is to eliminate civil rights." - Derrick Johnson, NAACP President

You think, this time they’ll wake up. After this attack. After this child pulled from the rubble. After this mother screaming at the sky. But they don’t. They never do.

"You don't have the authority to arrest US citizens who are asking to see a judicial warrant." NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander being arrested *along with a member of his NYPD security team* by ICE.

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

Hey, Mike. As someone whose wife barely survived an assassination attempt, let me tell you: Your joke isn't funny and you have an entire state to apologize to.

We are dealing with a f***ed up enemy” – Russia unleashes over 440 drones and 32 missiles on Ukraine overnight. Kyiv hit by 175 drones and 16 missiles. Victims reported. www.kyivpost.com/post/54650

Last night was so difficult. During the night and in the morning, we message family, friends. We ask them: How are you? They reply: we're alive. We go to work. Kyiv stands tall. Tomorrow is a day of mourning for all the victims of last night.

⚡️Cluster munitions used in overnight Russian strike on Ukraine, Kyiv mayor says. "On the capital's Nyvky neighborhood, emergency workers are now finding these kinds of cluster munition parts," Mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a statement.

🤬 Trump says sanctions against Russia on hold as he is waiting for peace deal

This couple’s child is somewhere under the rubble. A russian missile has turned their home into debris, and they don’t know if their son is alive. #RussiaIsATerroristState

🔴 Russian forces targeted a residential building in Odesa with a direct drone strike, captured on video. One person was killed, 17 others were injured. 📹: Radio Svoboda

đź’¬ "Putin does this on purpose, just during the G7 summit. He sends a signal of total disrespect to the United States and other partners who have called for an end to the killing," writes Ukraine's FM Sybiha on Russian attacks tonight.

Russian defense ministry reported about its strike on Kyiv last night, writing: "The goal of the strikes has been reached. All designated objects were hit." 📹: a "designated object"? aka a residential building in #Kyiv, deliberately attacked by a Russian drone.

"Kyiv has faced one of the most horrific attacks" President Zelenskyy russia killed at least 15 people tonight in Kyiv alone. Some people are still under the rubble of what used to be their homes. Help prevent these senselles murders: u24.gov.ua/sky-sentinel...

Under the “Big Beautiful Bill,” federal lands like Teton National Forest will be put up for sale to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Enjoy it while it lasts. Call your senator, please.

The right to research & follow the facts without political pressure is fundamental to the pursuit of knowledge & to ensuring that universities can truly serve the public. All of us suffer when politicians attempt to stymy research they disagree with. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

⚡️UPDATE: Russian mass attack hits Kyiv, US citizen killed and at least 18 injured. Russian drones and ballistic missiles targeted the capital overnight, damaging dormitories, residential buildings, and a kindergarten. First responders are searching for more victims under the rubble.

The conservative Premier of Ontario, Canada has called @governorwalz.mn.gov to offer his condolences. The President of the United States has yet to call.

Russian missiles are already in Ukraine’s skies. Air raid alert across the entire country.

A Reagan appointed federal judge has found Trump's NIH cuts on gender ideology and DEI are "illegal" and "void" and has ordered many grants restored. "I've sat on this bench now for 40 years. I've never seen government racial discrimination like this." www.axios.com/local/boston...

The House version of Trump's so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill" cut $800B from Medicaid—and the Senate version is even worse. There's nothing "beautiful" about kicking millions off their health care. And to pay for billionaire tax cuts? We must fight this with everything we've got.

He has to pay $2.3M.

Les experts en vaccination congédiés par l’administration Trump « profondément préoccupés » par Robert Kennedy Jr

For the first time in its 116-year history, the NAACP will not invite the president to their convention. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

We absolutely must not forget what this administration did to Senator Padilla, because it tells us what they are willing to do to us.

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card. This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

All 17 experts recently dismissed from a government vaccine advisory panel published an essay Monday decrying “destabilizing decisions” made by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that could lead to more preventable disease spread.

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Mike Lee, what a POS. Censure & expel. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

This seems bad www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

We wouldn't have a war right now if Russia hadn't been excluded from the G7. — Trump Russia was expelled from the G8, reducing it to the G7, as a direct response to its invasion of Ukraine. 🤦‍♀️

"Trump has made clear over and over that he approves of violence done in his name, and that he believes that his enemies deserve to be physically harmed. That creates a permission structure in which MAGA supporters may feel that they can aid the cause through threats and violence."

The US remains silent after Russians bomb the offices of US defense giant #Boeing in Kyiv. kyivinsider.com/us-silent-af...

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ Ađź§µon the danger.

More than 200 people remain locked in prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration, without any right to trial.
