🔥 @mehdirhasan.bsky.social : “The great irony is Trump is the son of an immigrant, grandson of an immigrant, married to an immigrant… in fact, 2 of his 3 wives were immigrants— proving yet again immigrants will do the jobs even Americans aren’t willing to do.” 😬🙃

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

No Kings organizers say it would be easier if people just let them know if they did not attend a rally.

Really hard to see with everyone tucked into streets between buildings but obviously a good turnout on a beautiful Minneapolis day.
@indivistwincities.bsky.social thank you, great job organizing. #NoKings

Mad thanks to @adbusters.bsky.social for some last-minute poster inspiration.
#NoKings

pages of the Constitution of the United States and the State of Minnesota behind the words, "Does it stand for anything more" and "America can still save the world - maybe - because there are still five million mad wild people living in it. They can be the heart of a global movement".

Constitution of the State of Minnesota and pieces of sheet music line a poster with the words printed over it, "A simple choice: We keep playing the same old song...or we break out and learn to play jazz".

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Ireland has definitively approved a basic income for musicians, artists, and creative workers.

The program, known as Basic Income for the Arts (BIA), was announced by Culture Minister Patrick O'Donovan and will be officially implemented starting with the 2026 budget.

Amplify the harvest and feed the future with One Acre Fund.

Smallholder farmers produce 70% of Africa's food. They're providers and entrepreneurs in their communities. Yet many lack access to the seeds, tools, and training needed for reliable harvests.

Look closely. Is this how we treat living, feeling beings? Attendees and participants at livestock shows often carelessly tossed trash and belongings into animal enclosures, like you see here, reducing them to mere props and objects.
