LA DODGERS just now:

“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”

Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.

Judge Young’s ruling exposes how “anti-woke” rhetoric often masks blatant racial discrimination. Rebranding injustice doesn’t change it’s impact, equity and truth must not be casualties of political agendas.
New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

Robert De Niro at the Canne Film Festival:

📌“In my country we are fighting like hell for the democracy we once took for granted. That affects all of us here because the arts are democratic. Art embraces diversity and that’s why art is a threat, that’s why we are a threat to autocrats and fascists.”

Absolutely. When they attack D.E.I., they’re not just opposing a policy, they’re rejecting the idea that everyone deserves a fair shot, a voice, and a place at the table. It’s not about fairness, to them it’s about preserving power structures that have excluded others for generations. Never forget!!
WHEN WE CAN NEVER FORGET THIS IS WHO & WHAT MAGA MEANS WHEN THEY SAY THEY HATE D.E.I.

“High Out of Time”, a song featuring #DavidCrosby and #GrahamNash & #JamesTaylor on vocals, was also released as a single. Cash Box called “High Out of Time” “a sweet ballad, filled with Carole King’s expected but always exciting melody hooks.”#ckdeepcuts

The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator.

But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch.

So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.

This isn’t leadership — it’s chaos wrapped in authoritarianism. While working families struggle under the weight of inflation and instability, we’re watching a presidency unravel in real time, and the silence from those in power is deafening.
Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing.
Emergency powers? He’s abusing them.
And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve.

The math ain’t mathing.

Relieved to hear the suspected arsonist is now in custody.

To wake up on the first night of Passover like this is deeply disturbing, and we're keeping @governor.pa.gov and his family in our thoughts.

Bless you to the first responders who acted quickly to keep the Shapiro family safe.
Last night at the Governor’s Residence, we experienced an attack not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

This kind of violence has become far too common in our society, and it has to stop.

When those entrusted with the care of our minds and hearts must starve to be heard, it speaks volumes about a system that undervalues healing until it’s broken beyond repair. True healthcare parity means honoring every role that holds life together—including the quiet strength of a therapist.

After months of striking, some therapists with Kaiser Permanente stopped eating for five days to bring attention to their union's demands for parity with how the company's other workers are treated.

The House Republicans listed below are vulnerable in 2026. They will only vote to cut our benefits if they think no one is watching.

If you live in these districts, or know anyone who does, CALL NOW and tell them to keep their hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!

Spencer Lane, 16, and his mother Christine Conrad Lane, 49, were among those on board American Airlines 5342.

They were returning from Wichita, where Spencer had been training at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. It was the next step in the sport he hoped would be his future. wapo.st/40SsDoA
