Screenshot of an X post with large text at the top: “Keep America divided so they can loot the economy, gut healthcare, and funnel billions into ICE and surveillance contracts for companies like Palantir.” Below is a video thumbnail of a CNN split-screen: a male anchor on the left and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the right, with a “BREAKING NEWS” banner and a chyron that begins “DHS: MAN FATALLY SHOT ‘VIOLENTLY RESISTED’ ATTEMPTS TO BE DISARMED,” plus location “Austin, TX,” and a red “LIVE” indicator.
AOC lays it out for all to see.
Wonderful video tour of this exhibition! The way the camera goes around each piece, while it is being discussed is excellent.

Neil Young. Still showing us the way all these years later..

Thank you. A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order today blocking the Trump administration from removing a 5-year-old boy, Liam Conejo Ramos, who was detained by immigration authorities in Minnesota last week.
DHS said ICE is targeting “the worst of the worst,” including people convicted of aggravated assault, false imprisonment & endangering child welfare. Maine’s governor said many of them appeared to involve people with jobs, kids in local schools & no criminal records.

When Stephen King blurbed WOLF, it felt like a dream come true. To see him say these words about I KNOW A PLACE feels like I must still be dreaming. After all, this is the guy who taught me how to write a short story, and what a collection could be. I'm just so mightily grateful. 🗝️
Feel like this story should be A1, above the fold, big headlines: Attorney General Attempts to Blackmail Minnesota

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
Fighting in the courts has been an effective way to curb Trump's lawlessness & @democracyforward.org has been a key leader in that battle.
Skye Perryman joins me to talk about Bondi’s attempts to extort Minnesota & how DOGE accessed Americans' personal data of at the SSA.

Put the pass into clear sleeve. Put sticker on the sleeve. This is not a problem.
Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."
Venezuela isn't about fentanyl or national security. It's about oil and Epstein.
Tweet from Zito criticizing U.S. media coverage of Trump’s comments about Venezuela. Embedded is a tweet from Aaron Rupar quoting Trump saying Venezuela took U.S. oil and “we want it back.” Below is a video still of Trump speaking to reporters outdoors near an aircraft.
It's the oil, everyone.
Himes: "I think it's really important this video by made public ... it's important people see what it looks like when the full force of the US military is turned on two guys who are clinging to a piece of wood and about to go under just so they have a visceral feel for what it is we're doing"
Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.
New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Biden and Obama *still* living rent-free in that rotting pumpkin skull of his.

No disrespect intended, but that's an insult to "average American street drunks".
