John Gai carried his sick father to a nearby clinic in a wheelbarrow, but he died from cholera on the way.

Gai then pushed the wheelbarrow for hours through the camp to take him to the cemetery: “Nobody should have to carry a dead body among the living.”

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

A federal agent shot another person in Minneapolis. Then Trump threatened the Insurrection Act. Gov. Tim Walz said the federal government is waging “a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota.”

“This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement; instead, it’s a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by the federal government."

What the closure of Teen Vogue means for journalism. Condé Nast folded a beloved magazine that treated youth and feminism as political topics, not trends.

Teen Vogue did some terrific work. Great story here on Teen Vogue and how the Vogue/Conde Nast bosses seem like the "liberal" types who have been eager to use Trump's rise as a pretext to silence progressives/leftists they disagree with. www.cjr.org/feature/the-...

The Trump regime is declaring that funding for the CFPB is illegal.

Remember: This is the agency that protects Americans from financial predators.

Anti-CFPB oligarchs, who spent millions to re-elect Trump, will now have an easier time padding their pockets by ripping you off.

Fantastic day at the #NoKings protests here in Philly! FAFO!

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there. Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

Trump Gives Antifa Confusing New Designation Donald Trump’s latest attack makes no sense.

President Trump is hellbent on targeting real or perceived political opponents based on their constitutionally-protected beliefs and speech, but he has no legal authority to designate U.S. groups or individuals as "terrorists."

This latest threat jeopardizes all of our First Amendment rights.

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence.

For an actual public servant.

Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.

Some in Congress can’t muster maturity when they have a transgender colleague. But members of the U.S. Armed Forces can—and have.

My NDAA amendments repeal Trump’s cruel trans military ban & restore retirement benefits to trans veterans forced out of service.

This is a perfect statement. Thank you, Congresswoman.

Absolutely fucking horrifying. A greenlight for racial profiling and terrorizing communities. John Roberts and the MAGA majority shredding the constitution to carry Trump's water.

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.
