ICE agents refuse to show their ID earlier today (May 30th, 2025) in Great Barrington, Massachusetts

Last month, Robert Armstrong coined the acronym 'Taco' — which stands for 'Trump always chickens out' — as a way to describe the US president's tariff approach and the way markets react to it. Listen to the Unhedged podcast: on.ft.com/3Ff0P5V

Really can't believe we're ok with this celebration of our dear leader.

Sen. Paul, Sen. Hawley, Sen. Scott, Rep. Salazar, Rep. Giménez, Rep. Díaz Balart ... all distancing themselves from the dear leader?

How safe is anyone citizens, alike?

Tfw a guy cuts you off so you send his wife to a death camp

After decades of being told that the Dutch and Danes had some innate affinity for biking, here the Parisians are showing the world that alternative mobility can be rolled out anywhere/everywhere. Shout out to Bogotanos who have also embraced the humble bicycle!

The U.S. welcome mat is rolling up — at least that’s how some international travelers see it, according to a global organization representing the travel and tourism industry. It could cost the U.S. billions.

I too want young anxious Gen-Z people looking to make positive changes. We should encourage it not shut it down. Some "good trouble" it's called.

It's from 2013 but still valid: The removal of curb side car parking in favor of improved pedestrian & bike infrastructure leads to increased business. But owners will fight to the death to maintain the status quo.

"The local police arrived to prevent the community from protecting their neighbor from an unlawful kidnapping. They succeeded, and in the process arrested two of the people who tried to stop it." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Older parents are constantly telling those in the early days to cherish it. But that can be very hard advice to follow when you’re in the thick of it. In the Wonder Reader, Isabel Fattal rounds up stories on the gems and the challenges of parenting:

The story of a city that resisted

@billshaner.bsky.social reports from the scene of a brutal ICE arrest in Worcester, Massachusetts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.” -Anne Frank, 01/13/1943

THIS IS NOT HOW LAW AND ORDER WORKS! Beginning of Nazism 👇 “Morales again asks for the warrant. "They're federal." "They still need a warrant." Another officer, frustrated, says "They don't need a warrant." Finally, one of them tells the truth. Due process is not a matter they're concerned with.”

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D) was arrested by federal officials Friday during a protest at a newly opened immigration detention facility in his city, officials said.

Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff who orchestrated President Trump’s crackdown on immigration, told reporters on Friday that the administration was considering suspending the rights of immigrants to challenge their detention in court before being deported.

VANCE: We'll have visitors from close to 100 countries. We want them to come, we want them to celebrate, we want them to watch the games. But when the time is up, they'll have to go home, otherwise they'll have to talk to Secretary Noem AUDIENCE: 🦗😳🦗😳

Your morning commute could get way worse. The Big Take podcast explains why US mass transit is on the brink of an existential crisis

“…beyond intentional attacks, drivers in cars, SUVs and trucks threaten the safety of our public spaces everyday but we treat the damage they do like the weather: something inevitable that just happens.”

Q: “The president signed an executive order…threatening to defund sanctuary cities for their policies. Why not just arrest the leaders who are harboring and shielding illegal aliens from deportation?” Tom Homan: “Wait to see what's coming.”

If you are a programmer, I will pay for a Chrome or other browser extension that will show the tariff price on Amazon and other etailers. This would be huge. It'd definitely make the news! The White House alone would give it the Streisand effect for days!

THEY STOLE THIS FAMILY’S MONEY

After his release from federal custody today, Mohsen Mahdawi delivered a bold message to Donald Trump and his Cabinet: “Let me make this clear—I am not afraid of you.

Ok I am completely broken by this. The Hague and UN need to see this. #Texas

Good, I would happily support Medicare for All in Congress. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjkPs8vv/

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Literally the color chart meme.

ICE Agents Wait At Edge Of Delivery Table To Deport Newborn

Miami Cuban told me (I kid you not) that he'd be fine with deporting all Cubans from the Marielitos until now. My draw dropped.

The news about Trump's polling bore me. He doesn't care. The numbers don't mean anything. Just meaningless media drivel. GOP will not stop him. And he's got three years to make a mess of our country.

If deporting US citizen children with cancer isn’t your redline, it’s time to reassess your priorities.

A U.S. citizen cannot be deported and exiling a U.S. citizen is unconstitutional. U.S. law also requires both parents to be present for a child under 16yo to apply for a U.S. passport to ensure parental consent for international travel. #RuleOfLaw www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

What an absolutely shite show! First tariffs. Now visas? On-off-on-off. Bluff fold bluff fold.

Effective Corporate Tax Rates 1950: 50% 2025: 13% Top Marginal Tax Rates 1950: 91% 2025: 37% If you’re curious as to why the rich have so much and you have so little, these are good places to start.

Agree with Bannon. If there's someone on the right that could increase taxes on the oligarchs, it'd be DJT. He could implement expanded healthcare and do background checks for gun sales and the GOP would piss their pants. www.rawstory.com/bannon-taxes...

Read this. Right now.

I'm usually sanguine but should I liquidate everything now before it gets worse?

At least 2 people—29 and 44 yo—have died while detained at Krome ICE prison near Miami. The facility is so overcrowded people are sleeping in the bathrooms: “Their faces are literally under the toilet.” english.elpais.com/usa/2025-04-...
