The Underground Railroad. Mississippi Freedom Summer. And now, the ICE resistance

I went to New Orleans to witness the next American Revolution - everyday folk blowing whistles, chasing cars, and impeding the masked agents of a tyrannical regime. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/immi...

The LA Taco daily memo is legit the best approach to covering these widespread, disparate raids, bar none. A simple, three minute roundup that gives you the sense of the scale of the terror attacks every day. Why every news org in a town getting hit *still* hasn't copied this is beyond me.

Some rare good news: Journalists at the PEN Guild won their arbitration case against Politico, which deployed two separate faulty AI products (a "report builder" and a headline and summary generator on the homepage) without their knowledge or input.

That violated their contract, the arbiter found.

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.

Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

Since this post, nearly 300 of you donated about $11k and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. The union shared photos with me today of food being distributed. Remaining money will be evenly distributed among the 160 union members in the form of gift cards. Thank you. ❤️

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

Right now is the time to support primaries for any do-nothing Ds. We've got an incredible chance to win a bunch of seats in 2026. Let's fill them with fighters, not chumps.
What sticks out to me is how absolutely unafraid of prosecution this psychopath is. Part of it is narcissistic personality disorder, but it's mostly the perceived weakness of Democrats. Should they retake power, no one expects Democrats to hold anyone accountable.

This seems like slam dunk messaging. Democrats are the party that stands against ALL FORMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. We believe that no one should be subjected to abuse and violence because of who they are. This order violates not only the law of the land it is morally repugnant.

The GED is a pathway to a brighter future, and we're making sure more Kentuckians have access. Since 2020, we've:
✅Waived testing fees
✅Increased testing sites from 114 to 171
✅Taken testing on the road for counties without access

The result? An 81% increase in test-takers.
