Good news, the Morrill Fire in Nebraska is now 98% contained. This will free up firefighting resources for fires that erupt in the current SW U.S. heatwave. The Morrill Fire burned an area 83% of the size of Rhode Island, and ranks as the 9th-largest continental U.S. fire since 1900.

These are government employees. So our tax dollars are funding ICE to flash white supremacist cards at vulnerable POC as an intimidation tactic. Who is giving this direction? There’s something deeply sinister happening in this country right now, and I don’t think we can take three more years.

Last night, GOP Senator Rand Paul went on national TV to flatly reject DHS's lies about the Pretti execution: "My advice to [DHS], if they're watching: If you come into [our hearing] and try to justify that [Pretti] was assaulting a police officer, that cannot be acceptable."

ICE took custody of two children who attend the same Minnesota elementary school as Liam Ramos, the detained five-year-old, according to school officials. Their mother was first taken into custody during a court appointment for her ongoing immigration case. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.
