"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there." —Malcolm X

This is what accountability looks like, and it took video, public outrage, and a dead woman to get here. That’s the real indictment. Notice how quiet the “Blue Lives Matter” crowd gets when the victim is innocent and the evidence is overwhelming.

A legend.

The strike in Minnesota isn’t getting much press … but it’s unprecedented. Businesses, schools, churches, liquor stores… all closed to protest what ICE is doing. People are voting with their dollar and saying no to fascism and brutality.

AOC and Paris Hilton held a press conference today to advocate for the passing of the DEFIANCE Act, which would allow victims of AI-generated sexual deepfakes to sue those who produce and distribute the content.

A state has never deserved something more. Congrats @IndianaFootball❤️

Because of Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” the annual ICE budget — at $28 billion — is now larger than the annual budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Prisons COMBINED. No. The American people do not want Trump's domestic army.

Today is day 14 of his administration and universal childcare applications are already open. Meanwhile Democrats in Congress took over 2 days to meet on Zoom after President Trump struck Venezuela. It’s clear that the centrist wing of the party is not moving with the urgency needed in this moment.

BREAKING: International fans are CANCELLING their World Cup tickets to protest Trump’s violent immigration crackdown. The 2026 World Cup was supposed to be a global celebration. Instead, it’s rapidly becoming a global rebuke of Trump’s America. Nearly 17,000 fans have already canceled their World Cup tickets, and the number is climbing, as international soccer supporters openly call for a boycott of games hosted in the United States. The reason isn’t airfare or hotel prices. It’s fear — and fury — over a political climate many say feels hostile, unsafe, and fundamentally unwelcoming. Across social media, the message is blunt: #BoycottWorldCup until the Trump regime is gone. Fans from Europe, Africa, South America, and Asia are posting refund confirmations instead of travel itineraries, saying they no longer feel safe entering the U.S. amid aggressive ICE tactics, mass enforcement videos, and a climate of intimidation aimed at immigrants and visitors alike. What began as scattered cancellations has snowballed into tens of thousands walking away — not quietly, but publicly and proudly. The tipping point came after the ICE shooting in Minneapolis, where a U.S. citizen and mother of three, Renee Good, was killed by a federal agent. As protests erupted nationwide, international outrage followed. Online, people urged one another not to “watch blood-soaked football” and to treat the U.S. exactly as Trump has treated other nations — as a place to avoid. “Money is the only thing Americans understand,” one user wrote. So fans are hitting FIFA, sponsors, and host cities where it hurts. FIFA is now scrambling, reportedly calling emergency meetings as reputational damage mounts. Yet despite cancellations, ticket prices remain absurdly high, especially for later rounds — a dangerous gamble that assumes global demand will magically return. If even a modest share of international fans stay away, sellers could soon be fighting over a shrinking pool of buyers willing to overlook America’s political reality. This boycott isn’t just about soccer. It’s about values. The World Cup claims to represent unity, joy, and shared humanity — ideals that clash violently with images of militarized enforcement, civil unrest, and fear at the border. The world is watching. And this time, it’s choosing not to come. Trump wanted "America First." Now the world is saying: we’re sitting this one out. The world is watching. And this time, it’s choosing not to come. Trump wanted America First. Now the world is saying: we’re sitting this one out.

🚨 CONFIRMED: An employee of ICE was among 16 men arrested in “Operation Creep,” a Bloomington, Minnesota sting targeting adults attempting to solicit sex from someone they believed to be a 17-year-old. Bloomington Police say when he was arrested, he reportedly said, “I’m ICE, boys.” He’s now facing federal charges, been placed on administrative leave, and is being investigated, just like anyone else caught in the operation.

Rob Reiner: "Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."
