β€œEverybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

As the Senate considers voting to approve Trump's devastating funding cuts to public broadcasting, listen to the words of LeVar Burton.

The Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

Contact your senators today and urge them to oppose these cuts.

Yesterday's Supreme Court decision on nationwide injunctions is one of the worst of 2025 so far.

Yet, these tools still exist:

1️⃣ More class-action lawsuits
2️⃣ More plaintiffs joining
3️⃣ Faster final judgements on the merits
4️⃣ Arguments about "complete relief"

🧡 Using science funding as example...

Historian of Reconstruction here the Supreme Court is behaving like its predecessor in the late 19th century when it gutted the Reconstruction constitution and federal civil rights laws. It refused to implement the 14th amendment against Trump and now he has a blank check to upend our constitution.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants β€” ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI β€” are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis Detection of cancer before a clinical diagnosis could give patients and caregivers more time for intervention and may lead to better outcomes because tumors are more likely to be curable

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University.

That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...
