Press needs to stop repeating govt euphemism of “clearing homeless camps.” I’ve witnessed it in other cities: massive destruction of personal property. Not just bedrolls & tents; family photos, Bibles, meds. Times I’ve seen it people weren’t even given option to move their things.

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

A stronger case for why D.C. should become a state has never been made. Trump’s seizure of power today is based on false pretext and is meant to distract from Epstein. But it has real consequences.
The people of D.C. should not be ruled by a tyrant. This is intimidation without representation.

An FDA panel discussing the use of antidepressants during pregnancy largely amounted to misinformation or facts taken out of context, according to several psychiatrists who tuned into the meeting.
FDA panel promotes misinformation about antidepressants during pregnancy, psychiatrists say
Nearly all of the 10 panelists emphasized what they said were risks of the drugs. Some claimed, without evidence, that antidepressants don't work at all.

Every day, Trump loses it a little more. On Sunday, he reposted an AI-generated video of former President Barack Obama being arrested by the FBI. The video opens with a clip of Obama saying, “No one, especially the president, is above the law.” Trump should remember that. The irony writes itself.

Research has consistently shown that immigrants, including those who have entered the country illegally, are less likely to be incarcerated than native-born citizens and that immigration is not a driving force behind violent crime in the U.S.
Among Trump’s ICE Detainees, 72% Have No Criminal Convictions
As of June 29, 71.7% of people detained by ICE had no criminal convictions despite Trump’s vow to focus on deporting “the worst of the worst.”
