One year ago today, Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were senselessly murdered in an act of political violence. In their memory, we recommit ourselves to the values that Melissa and Mark exemplified: building a kinder, more just, and loving world.

NYC's response to the Knicks' run is an explicit rejection of Trumpism. Civic engagement is at an all-time high. Fearmongering about public safety was crushed by the hundreds of spontaneous watch parties. Unimaginably diverse groups rallying behind a sense of collective identity.

In Mamdani’s NYC, we’re all family, don’t believe the lies

Best version of this trend I have seen! @CynthiaNixon aka Cynthia Knickson five! ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥🔥

FWIW, @DoorDash got our order here on time and for less money.

.@Grubhub_Care @Grubhub driver delivered our entire dinner order (over $100) to another home, has not returned and customer service staff says we are not eligible for help or a refund. Won’t be using that service ever again. I’ll be disputing the charges…

On this 82nd anniversary of D-Day, remember: The way we wonder why Germans didn’t stop Hitler is exactly how the rest of the world views Americans and Trump today.

Wow it’s almost like “tough on crime” doesn’t actually work and you have to address the root causes

Was this what Cuomo people were afraid of?

🧵 One year ago today, ICE arrested Mayor @rasjbaraka outside Delaney Hall. We were there with our members and @RepAnalilia, rallying until Mayor Baraka was released. Since then, ICE has gotten more violent and more emboldened. But our movement has grown stronger as a result.

ICE detain high school senior—days before graduation. "They chained my feet, my waist, and my hands," he said. "I told them I was a student, they said it didn’t matter." "Agents now wake us up at 4:00am every day to eat—but there’s only 1 plate and 1 spoon for 8 people—we have to share." Luis Fernando Cabrera was pulled over for a traffic stop by Texas Department of Public Safety—who then called ICE. He was driving home from working nights to support his family—in time to take his nephew to daycare in the morning. Luis was a good student as well as a star soccer player at Northeast Early College High School in Austin, Texas.

Final results for the NJ-11 special: 🟦@AnaliliaForNJ 60.2% 🟥@HathawayForNJ11 39.4% Mejia overperforms Harris ’24 by 12 points, and wins 13 towns Harris lost (including one, Pequannock, that hasn’t gone Dem in… decades? more?) newjerseyglobe.com/congress/here-…

#Jeopardy champion Jamie Ding slams ICE after his 31-day winning streak ends and says "I hope that immigrants can be seen in a positive light" under Trump's federal government. “I kept hearing how [my run] was bringing people together, and I love that very much. I’ve heard people say, ‘It’s nice to have something positive on TV!’ As an immigrant and a person of color, I was able to become part of the history of an American institution. ‘Jeopardy!’ really is an institution and America’s turning 250 years old and the federal government is going after immigrants in a way unlike anything that we’ve seen in the recent past. So I hope that immigrants can be seen in a positive light too.” (via People) variety.com/2026/tv/news/j…

ICE detain mother after victim of hit and run—that killed her 10 year old daughter. Agents arrested her despite qualifying for a U Visa—as a victim of a crime who cooperates with police. Locked up over 3 months now with 2 broken legs—denied medication prescribed after surgery. Laura Ramirez immigrated legally from Colombia to Nashville, Tennessee—via the official CBP One mobile app for processing asylum claims. She has been separated from her youngest daughter—who was also injured in the hit and run car crash but survived. Now locked up 680 miles away from surviving 5 year old daughter at the South Louisiana ICE Processing Center in Basile, Louisiana. #DemsUnited

Housing discrimination has no place in New Jersey. I joined @CivilRightsNJ for their Housing Summit—bringing together advocates, community leaders, and directly impacted individuals to confront barriers and expand access to safe, equitable housing across our state.

Dem leaders told me I was wasting my time running in 2018 for an 85% white House seat that Trump won because I’m Asian American. I stubbornly stayed in the race against a straight White Christian male incumbent and ended up winning. Winning is more than central casting. THREAD

“How are you going to pay for Medicare for All?"  I don't know, how did we pay for a war in Iran that costs $1 billion a day? Weird how the money is always there for bombs and never there for hospitals.

⚡️ “Small Children Who Knew Nothing of Politics or Wars” A scene of devastation in Minab, Iran, as parents waited to know the fate of their young daughters after the bombing of a girls' elementary school killed over 100. Report from Mahmoud Aslan for Drop Site News dropsitenews.com/p/iran-minab-e…

The anger you’re feeling watching $1,000,000 in American bombs obliterate a school in the Middle East while you can’t afford to take your child to the dentist is completely justifiable.
