ICYMI: The first-ever drone light show over the Outer Banks capped day two of the 50th anniversary celebration of Jockey's Ridge State Park. www.patreon.com/posts/130890...

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

The first-ever drone light show over the Outer Banks will cap night two of the 50th anniversary celebration of Jockey's Ridge State Park. The drone show will be visible over the dunes in Nags Head, and live music coreographed with the show will air on 98.1 The OBX www.patreon.com/posts/live-j...

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

United Church of Christ is helping congregations build banned book libraries. “We care about telling the truth here, and books allow us to have conversations across divides and differences in ways that are not violent. We can be the library for telling the truth.” www.ucc.org/service-proj...

Today, I #WearOrange on Gun Violence Awareness Day in honor of Hadiya Pendleton and all those impacted by gun violence. I know that a safer future is possible, and that together we will end this epidemic in honor of Hadiya and every victim and survivor of gun violence.

If you think he's mad now, wait until he finds out the resale price for Teslas.

Steve Bannon resorts to making physical threats as he milks the Trump-Musk feud for all it's worth.

“A good melody has a flow to it, it has an emotional journey. And there’s a naturalness about how something should go and I don’t know how I know that, but I do. Gerry (Goffin) was so good at that. Gerry likes the majesty of a major chord and another major chord.” - CK 📷 Sony Music Archives

Both cruel AND counterproductive.

Here are the lineups for Game 1 of the Chapel Hill Super Regionals between top-ranked #UNC and No. 21 Arizona.

Yesterday, you drove over 1,000 calls to Joni Ernst’s office in under an hour. Every Wednesday and Thursday, you can help us contact voters in key states and connect them with their GOP senators to disrupt Trump’s Tax Scam. Let’s keep turning up the temperature on vulnerable Republicans.

This morning, President Trump told ABC’s Jon Karl that Elon Musk is “a man who has lost his mind.” He also said he’s not particularly interested in speaking to Musk, but that Musk would love to speak with him.

#NationalDonutDay “Dunking’s an art. Don’t let it soak so long. A dip and plop, in your mouth. Let it hang there too long, it’ll get soft and fall off. It’s all a matter of timing. Aw, I oughta write a book about it.” - IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT

6 June 1944. This 54 year old general made the call knowing the potential implication. I can’t imagine the mental & emotional strain. And it’s so very hard to comprehend the sacrifices for a new future that were a result. We cannot waste what happened on that day.

Across the government, the Trump administration is scrambling to rehire many federal employees dismissed under DOGE’s staff-slashing initiatives after wiping out entire offices, in some cases imperiling key services such as weather forecasting and the drug approval process.

Today is the 133rd anniversary of the beginning of the CTA Elevated Trains. On this day in 1892, the first "L" train ran from Pershing & State to Congress & Wabash. Chicago is the only city with elevated trains in its downtown area.

My only hope out of this degenerate US energy and environmental policy is that it gets overturned, meaningful decades-lasting actions take its place and every person involved in this degradation of the planet is locked up in a room powered by a diesel generator exhausted right back in their cell.

#OTD in 1933: the first drive-in opened in Camden, NJ. Richard Hollingshead experimented in his driveway with a Kodak projector on his car and a screen pinned to some trees. His patent was overturned in 1949, then came drive-ins with sound eventually played through car radios.

ICE is denying people the right to due process, abducting and trafficking them to foreign countries and locking them up indefinitely in dangerous prisons. Now they’re preparing the military to deploy on US soil and in our communities to help. This is authoritarianism.

Just wow: "The state government will need to spend nearly $1 billion just on fixing roads and bridges damaged by Helene. Other non-emergency efforts are now likely going to need to be pushed back by months or years." www.wral.com/story/helene...

“Ontario's chief medical officer of health, Kieran Moore, said in a statement ‘the infant contracted the virus before birth from their mother, who had not received the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.’”

NEW: Even after leaving public service, Elon Musk and DOGE employees are still subject to criminal conflict of interest laws. We're calling on the Office of Government Ethics to review whether Musk and others leaving DOGE complied with financial disclosure requirements.

On D-Day, #OTD 1944, Robert Sargent took this iconic photo of US troops of Company E/16th Infantry wading toward Omaha Beach, Normandy. Imagine what they felt. On landing, they faced fierce resistance. Two-thirds of them became casualties. Sargent himself survived and lived to 89

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked a proclamation by President Donald Trump that banned incoming foreign students from entering the U.S. to attend Harvard University.

Friday's NY Post cover doesn't disappoint:

Somewhere out there a flat earther is looking at the news, stirring horse paste into his raw milk, and crying

The Foreign Minister of Poland quote tweets Elon Musk’s reply to him from a few months ago.

Bride’s side or groom’s side?

Looking forward to the apology from anyone who voted for Donald Trump because they thought Hillary and Kamala were too emotional to be president.

Truth Social is now either down, or Trump is admitting that everything he posts is bullshit.

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...
