This weekend thousands of American patriots stood up to Trump's attacks on the Kennedy Center with a simple message: HANDS OFF.   This & every monument in America belong to the people, not to any President. We must continue to speak out; silence only emboldens Trump's lawbreaking.

Thousands rally outside shuttered Kennedy Center, chanting ‘Hands off!’
The vigil took place at the end of a week that saw the doors to the marble building locked shut.

I still stand by my post about Wilson's handling of the 6th. This may be the most consequential #Mariners game by a single player since Edgar's 2HR-7RBIs in G4 vs the Yankees in 95. WOW! Say his name: RANDY AROZARENA!!!!!

Why does #MLB force Florida to have teams? The population clearly doesn't care for young, interesting, talented players. The #Marlins have only drawn 1.8M+ TWICE since their first WS win - 29 yrs ago. The #Rays only 4x ever although they're generally decent in a tough division.

This summer's record-setting heat wave is making wildfires in states like Colorado and Utah even worse. And to top it off, private equity investors are even price-gouging firefighters.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...
So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

LA Lakers Co-owner Ed Roski Jr’s firm ‘Majestic Reality’ is linked to a proposed $80M ICE-Gestapo concentration camp deal in Texas which could imprison up to 9.5K human beings. The endless evil inhumanity is disgusting and frankly exhausting. Billionaires are destroying us.

SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?
