It was tense in Maywood and Bell as ICE/CBP and multiple local police agencies confronted protesters and local residents vocalizing their anger at ICE/CBP violently arresting individuals and a protester.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" bans all 50 states from regulating AI for 10 years, centralizes control at the federal level, and integrates AI systems into key federal agencies, per TC

Sinners Just Passed A Box Office Milestone Not Seen In Nearly A Decade - SlashFilm Sinners continues to defy even the most optimistic of expectations with its box office performance, having passed yet another milestone for original films.

SINNERS is now the biggest Hollywood original movie of any kind at the box office since 2017 when Pixar's COCO came out. To find a live-action movie that made at least $200M domestic, we have to go back much further. This is truly bananas.

BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.”

No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time.

And it’s coming to your city next.

this would be the kind of scandal that demands resignation if these people had any commitment to public service!

The Fight to Be Believed: Long COVID’s Toll on Black Americans Black people made up about 32% of long COVID cases, one study found, but are “not being taken as seriously,” said one patient.

The Conclave to elect a new pope begins today.

NEW from @joshgerstein.bsky.social: You’ve heard of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now meet the second man erroneously deported to El Salvador in violation of a legal settlement: Daniel Lozano-Camargo.

Until now, he’d only been identified by a pseudonym in court. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

With Raphina and Lamine out of UCL, I think it’s fair to say we need to rely on own league performances to decides between Salah, Raphina and Lamine, who should win, and obviously Salah is the most productive out of all three

holy fuck. glad i got my summer ordering out of the way. gonna be second hand stuff for winter shopping i guess.

Utah Farmers Signed Up for Federally Funded Therapy. Then the Money Stopped. Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.

Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.

See how this works?

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

The media doesn't want you to see that it's not a jail, it's slavery.

The Indian government has demanded all Pakistani nationals leave the country within 24 hours.

This is tragic.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Science doesn’t improve by cutting Black, Hispanic, and women experts. But that’s exactly what happened—38 out of 43 removed from NIH boards were just that. And they wonder why trust in institutions is fading.

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Gavin Newsom Is Embracing MAGA While Suing Trump Over Tariffs The governor's Trump tango is getting dicier by the day.

In a world of deeply divided politics, Gavin Newsom has become a slippery figure—a Democratic politician who metaphorically punches the MAGA crowd in the nose with one hand, then embraces them with the other.
