The GOP just passed a bill most of them vehemently disagree with — and that they know is going to harm their constituents — because they’re afraid of Trump. Pretty pathetic stuff.

HANDS OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS! Rep. Melanie Stansbury is sounding the alarm: Senate Republicans are trying to sneak a massive public land sell-off into reconciliation. Millions of acres—gone to developers. Even in crisis, we fight back. Call your senators. Raise hell. 🌲⛰️ @repstansbury.bsky.social

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

🇷🇺 launched a massive overnight air attack on 🇺🇦: over 400 drones and 45 missiles targeted Kyiv and other regions. Three people were killed, 49 were injured. This is how Putin understands retaliation, by attacking civilians. While we were watching Trump–Musk soap opera, Putin was killing civilians.

Three killed, 49 wounded in intense Russian air attacks on Ukraine
The attack followed a warning from Vladimir Putin that the Kremlin would hit back after Ukrainian drones destroyed several strategic bomber aircraft deep inside Russia.
