Thank you, @charlotteclymer.bsky.social for highlighting this. ❤️ 🇺🇸

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

BREAKING: Medical examiner says death of ICE detainee was a HOMICIDE - a witness says he was choked to death by GUARDS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

TIM WALZ: I feel you anger. I'm angry. They want a show. Don't give it to them. If you protest, protest peacefully. Please stand with Minneapolis. Know that we will stop at nothing to seek justice. We do not need any further help from the federal government. You've done enough.

Minnesota officials are encouraging peaceful protest, and remind people to not walk on highways, throw objects, use illegal weapons, or assault anyone.

TIM WALZ: Do not take the bait. Do not take the bait. Do not allow them to invoke the Insurrection Act. Do not allow them to invoke martial law.

Please spread the word and join us. Vigil scheduled for 5:00 today at E. 34th Street and Portland Ave S. in Minneapolis for woman murdered by ICE agents.

Get ready for the “Trump was a young playboy” propaganda even though he was 50 and the girls were 14.

Plain language is communication that your audience or readers can understand the first time they hear or read it. The terminology you use will vary depending on the audience. Always aim to avoid jargon when possible, especially when you have a broad general audience.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.

Congrats, GOP, for teaching us all the difference between pedophile, hebephile, and ephebophile, but they can all be lumped under a single term — illegal. Or wrong, if that's too difficult a word for you. #ReleaseTheFiles

Thank you, veterans, for your service to our country. May we all continue to fight for democracy, freedom, and justice.

Instead of clawing back the partial SNAP benefits payments, why don't we claw back the $40 billion we sent to Argentina for no apparent reason?

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Audio descriptions are necessary for making videos accessible. They narrate the crucial visual elements that would be necessary for understanding the plot without the ability to see the screen. They describe non-verbal cues like gestures, facial expressions, or eye contact.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. (Published February)

Let's go, America — time to vote and show the world red, white, and blue stands for democracy, for justice, and for the people! 🇺🇸

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you. And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it. This is not about politics. It's about people. Let’s break it down:

N.B. Trump has openly declared himself a dictator.

🏆

I didn’t think this was real st first, but Apple News app opens this in the US News and World Report website. Holy Fascism, Batman!

Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference. This is what rising fascism looks like.

I love this year's ASL-themed t-shirt for @wpaccessibility.day . The back of the shirt even has alt text. #WPAD2025 #WordPress #Accessibility #a11y

My whole job is to make the digital world accessible for people with disabilities and now these folks have to fight for their rights to basic medical care. I ent recognize my own country.

Not as flashy as the Epstein case, but thought I'd post @foodandwine.com 's article about @fda.gov 's revoking of food standards. What you see may not be what you get any more. #BuyerBeware #CaveatEmptor www.foodandwine.com/fda-revokes-...

These are the folks protecting child predators.

Republicans are trying to keep OBAMACARE whole for their RED STATES. The same republicans that tried to kill Obamacare are now BEGGING for it.

WTAF?!?

You can record ICE, including uniforms, badges, license plates, and weapons. You just can't interfere. Stay safe and thanks @laist.com for this. laist.com/news/educati...

All so a few oligarchs can afford a new yacht? This is disturbing and disgusting what we are doing to seniors and folks with disabilities.

Tariffs. Stock market down. Medicaid slashed Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans. National guard and marines deployed in LA. No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine Bombing Iran This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

This person was brave and knew his rights.

Happy Flag Day! #NoKings

If you're anxious about attending a rally this weekend and are looking for some coping mechanisms, @muellershewrote.com wrote a great piece. #anxiety #CopingMechanisms www.muellershewrote.com/p/protesting...

Accessible design starts with a simple truth: our users are incredibly diverse. Disabilities can be permanent, temporary, or situational. By understanding people's challenges, we can design compassionately and create a web that works for everyone.

Congress is voting tomorrow on a proposal that could eliminate already-approved federal funding for public media. We can't be without these vital sources of truth. Call your representative! protectmypublicmedia.org/rsc-calls/?= #PBS #NPR

Wanna crash Trump’s birthday Party with us? No Kings Day on June 14th!

I discovered @boredwalk.com at the LA Times Festival of Books. I bought a few things, covet a few more, and adore their social media. SO worth the follow; their humor and badassery help keep me sane.

The “government overreach” Republicans who cried that universal background checks on guns would lead to a registry of gun owners, are quiet now that Trump is paying Plantir to build profiles to track every American using their personal, financial, health and social media data.
