A brave 20 year old US citizen that stood up to ICE, Adrian Andrew Martinez, disappeared by the regime. His family currently unable to find him after being kidnapped by regime troopers. His mother: "I have no idea where he's at. I don't know if he's okay. I'm really worried right now." #StopICE

Another reason that Desperate Donnie left the G7 Summit early. Carney announces the release of another $2bn of frozen Russian assets and sanctions on Russia (including shadow fleets). “The support will be unwavering until we get a just peace for Ukrainian people.”

The PBS funding cuts are a blow to children who need it most. With more options than ever for kids' entertainment, producing research-backed, high-quality, non-advertising content for families—particularly those in low-resource areas—has never been more important.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say. From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:

Migrant deported to El Salvador after DPS labeled him a member of Tren de Aragua without evidence, lawyer says
Lawyers for Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo deny he is a gang member and say the DPS accusation hinges on a photo they found of him standing next to a man with tattoos.

WATCH THIS. He gets it right Nottoway Plantation: the so-called “White Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality. We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

A few thoughts about today's protests: 1) The April 5 Hands Off day of action clearly ranks as one of the very largest mobilizations in U.S. history, by two different measures: -- total national turnout (~ 3 million) -- number of local protests (~ 1400)

Teachers, Professors - here is a great explainer on Populism from our team. It answers the question, "why is populist rhetoric so prevalent, and does it even matter?" Read our latest "Good to Know: Populism," from @akoustov.bsky.social & Yaoyao Dai. goodauthority.org/news/good-to...
goodauthority.org
Populist leaders rely of messaging that amplifies existing divides.
Modern-day populism thrives on economic anxieties, and can be associated with both the ideological left and right.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
