Prairieland sentences brings war on terror home Protesters at ICE's Prairieland facility recieved far harsher sentences than anyone from Jan. 6's violent mob And by "terror" they mean "legitimate, constitutionally protected dissent" www.salon.com/2026/07/03/p...

"What, sir, would the people of the earth be without women? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce." -Mark Twain #Pinks

🚨 The number of ICE activity reports we’re receiving is overwhelming. Communities across the country are reporting enforcement at a rapid pace, and we’re working to verify and share as much information as possible.

More information needed.

Timeline cleanse: Lake Louise (Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada) — spectacular even in the rain. *yes, the water really is this color; no filter required.

No chief justice has ever faced articles of impeachment — until now. The rot at the top needs to be cleared out before it does more damage. Tell Congress to back Rep. Cohen’s push against Roberts.

There are more people protesting trump outside the “Great American State Fair” event than there are at the actual event. 🤣🤣🤣 Meidas Touch

"The state should only be able to prosecute as many people as we can ethically defend" Public defenders in the most stressed offices have 150-183 felony cases per lawyer — at a time — not per year as the old metrics recommend. The agency's 190 attorneys & 90 contractors handle 86,000 cases a year

Trump and his MAGA majority on the Supreme Court ended TPS as part of their cruel war on LEGAL immigration. They’re tearing families apart & robbing communities of hardworking people. We’ll fight back with everything we’ve got.

I think I’m a bit late to this news, but maybe it will make you smile like it did me. Toronto hired two border collies (Sally & Ben) to keep geese off the World Cup practice pitch. #uglydogs

Mamdani's speech at the Knicks parade was easily the best I've ever heard at an event of that sort. I posted the whole thing on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Highly recommended.

Zohran’s speech at the Knicks ceremony & Obama’s speech at the presidential center opening are cousins — two different ways of getting at the belief that hope is a choice, that hard work is worth it, that setbacks are never permanent & long odds are not fate. Stubborn collective optimism is back!

Knicks defeat the Spurs in Game 4 - 107-106 - one of the biggest comebacks in sports history and the biggest in the history of the NBA Finals.

The results are speaking for themselves, and loudly. MAGA but also the DNC are going to be very upset about this.

Knicks fans are furious that Trump’s attendance is causing major disruptions ahead of Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. These are just some of the comments on a Knicks post informing fans that they will need to arrive at least two hours before the game because of his attendance.

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Today marks six years since George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis. George was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend. His life mattered and he should still be here.
