Sixty years ago, the Supreme Court upheld the Voting Rights Act to protect Americans of all races, ethnicities, and language backgrounds from discriminatory election rules. Even if today’s justices refuse to do the same, we must continue the fight to protect the vote.

Republicans in the U.S. Senate are coming for your public lands once again.
By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet
I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.
“The U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke … There is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot,” Stacey Abrams tells Anne Applebaum.

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care.
Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/
I'm so old, I remember January 2025 when this racist letter circulated in Lincoln County, OR encouraging people to report on their neighbors who are undocumented. The letter ended by saying this would bring houses prices down. What was condemned as racist vigilantism last year is now gov't policy.
He's looting the U.S. Treasury, people. Most crooked dictators find covert ways to get rich. Trump intends to simply order his government to transfer money into his bank account.
Because of Donald Trump & JD Vance, Jewish seniors in Florida are offering to hide their Haitian caregivers in their rooms. That's Trump & Vance's America. It doesn't need to be ours. It must not be ours.
Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)
happy 250th birthday, america. to get you in the spirit, we’ve recreated the conditions of the founding era.

Tim Walz: "We're in a massive misinformation campaign. The president himself tweeting out AI videos of fake news reports on healthcare. This is really dangerous. I cannot express to you the concern and absolutely bafflement and fear of our European allies asking me, 'Is this stuff really going on?'"
Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion.
Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look"

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.
No money for veterans or the homeless or hungry children, but plenty of money for Argentina’s unpopular leaders.
Good to hear @jimmykimmel.com also talking about the absurd new pentagon policy demanding journalists sign a loyalty pledge. This appearance is history making from start to finish.
I'm not exaggerating: tonight's @jimmykimmel.com is one of the historic moments in the history of television. He is directly calling out Trump's authoritarianism on the air.
Williams steals it, Smith finishes it. What a play.

Tim Walz: "I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe -- a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?"
Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.
korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in
What happens next is up to all of us - leaders and ordinary citizens alike.
In responding to this horrific violence, the most important categories aren't left and right, they are about helping versus hurting.
We should heed and amplify the voices who are helping.
