Either if you support the recent attack or not, there may be rogue characters or “sleeper cells” with the intent on retaliation. Be on the lookout and speak up to protect ourselves and our homeland. thehill.com/policy/natio...

My summer solstice was memorable. How was yours?

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

Dodger Stadium has come online to deny rumors about giving access to ICE. On the contrary, they have shut their doors, instead. They are standing up and protecting their staff, vendors, and players and have denied entry to ICE. @dodgersdigest.bsky.social

A new variant of Covid-19 is spreading across the US, causing a painful symptom dubbed “razor blade throat.” COVID variant NB.1.8.1, nicknamed Nimbus, causing extremely painful sore throats accounts for more than a third of COVID cases in the U.S. But, of course, RFK Jr dismisses vaccinations.

Brutal.

BREAKING: The FDA has approved a twice-yearly injection that provided a near-perfect shield against H.I.V. infection in clinical trials. But the Trump administration has gutted the programs that might have paid for it in low-income countries (Gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/h...

Fed sees higher Inflation and lower growth ahead l Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged, as they brace for the effects of Trump’s policies on trade, taxes and immigration. Fed Chair said that “uncertainty is unusually elevated.” www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

it is genuinely insane that we have just kind of acclimated to the fact that we have masked secret police now

BREAKING: Brad Lander the New York City Comptroller was just arrested at Immigration Court

The media landscape is changing right under our feet. Some companies will harness the change and those that don’t, may be left behind. The only constant: buyer beware. Some places give you insightful content and other outlets provide what you want to believe. www.niemanlab.org/2025/06/for-...

Thank you everyone! Bill sposors @davidmoralesri.bsky.social & Sen Mark McKenney, the many, many volunteers who gave time to the RI #FreedomToRead Coalition, and all of the voters and young people who wrote postcards, emailed, and called their reps! Your voices matter, and they were heard!

Proposed Medicaid cuts in the House Republicans’ domestic policy bill could cause an estimated 7.6 million people to lose health insurance, leading to thousands of preventable deaths, according to an analysis published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

A CBS News investigation found two-thirds of counties that have lost funding from this FEMA program supported President Trump in the 2024 election. cbsn.ws/4laDh1k

OpenAI's new head of recruiting said the company is under "unprecedented pressure to grow" amid an AI talent war.

As I’ve been saying, California is just the test case. Trump is now saying the quiet part out loud: blue cities and states are being specifically targeted to stoke fear, violence, and chaos — all to punish the people that didn’t vote for him.

Do you believe in protecting clean air and clean water? Rhode Island has a bill, H5732, that would enshrine your right to clean air and clean water to the state constitution. It just needs a chance to be voted on. Act now! bit.ly/CallRISpeaker

Approximately 11 million people attended the No Kings protests. That's the equivalent of the entire population of 11 states: Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, Montana, Maine, New Hampshire, and Hawaii. Call your Congress reps: 202- 224-3121

Don’t even think about it.

Nothing says “Christian values” like calling to tar and feather your political opponents.

Illinois follows the law — we expect the federal government to follow the law, too. We won't participate in abuses of power. We won't violate court orders. We won't ignore the Constitution. We won't defy the Supreme Court. We won't take away people’s right to peacefully protest.

Congrats to @savethebayri.bsky.social for another wonderful Taste of the Bay event last night. Their yearly Rhode Island fundraiser is a must for yummy food and drink while enjoying a spectacular view of the Providence harbor.

I hope the Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan J. #Hochman files charges against the officers who forcefully removed, wrestled to the ground, and handcuffed your Senator @padilla.senate.gov Mayor, please allow this @mayor.lacity.gov Demand accountability.

All Senate Democrats @democrats.senate.gov MUST STAND TOGETHER and speak forcefully and demand ACCOUNTABILITY for the atrocity that your fellow @padilla.senate.gov experienced today. If you let this slide, it could happened to another one of you. 47’s admin is lawless and must be held accountable.
