If you work for ICE, you must resign right now.

Your soul is in danger and your family and friends and especially your children will fear you in their hearts for the rest of their days.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Horrifying to see the pain on the teenager’s face. So wrong.

He salutes the Japanese soldiers, walks with his arms swinging about, no bow, as if he doesn’t even know where he is in time and space

Gobsmacked by Amy Sherald's talent. The paintings are remarkable. But her words, her intention with her art...celebrate her.

This thread lists donors who are buying access to Trump by helping him demolish the East Wing of the White House to build his monstrous monument to himself.

Who are the private donors funding the disgusting demolition of the East Wing of the people's house for Trump's $250M gilded ballroom?

A BEGGAR VOICE

And still I dare to love
the sound of the light in a dead hour the color of time on a ruined wall.
In my eyes I've lost everything.
Asking is so far away. And so close, this knowledge of want.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Portland, Oregon, has had their fair share of run ins with the Trump administration over the past few weeks.

On Saturday, it was clear Portlanders are not happy about it. Thousands—an early estimate—gathered to participate in the countrywide "No Kings" rally.

The costume strategy is great. Totally defangs their argument that we’re all domestic terrorists.

By the way, Trump pardoned actual domestic terrorists like the Proud Boys leaders.
