Recently ICE agents appeared on a Little League field in Manhattan. Coach Youman Wilder told a group of kids who were being interrogated to get behind him and said to the officers, “You don’t have more rights than they do.” nyer.cm/laCNTgh

The Diego Luna snub especially hurts when you consider that Latines make up 19% of America, but only 3% of this year’s Emmy nominated actors. But obviously, it’s bigger than just one nomination. TV shows still don’t reflect their audience.
Diego Luna didn't get nominated for the same reason critics said his character was hard to get attached to: He's Mexican.

There is no city, state or federal district where it is legal to terrorize and detain people for being brown and working in agriculture. These raids must stop immediately. 8/

ICE IS trying to break our solidarity with one another.

It. Won’t. Work.

We are taking the Trump Administration to court. We are fighting for our city and our people.
Bass: We have to stop this mess. The idea of having troops go through the park and disrupt a children’s summer camp, or drive through the streets and just pick people off…

So our city attorney is leading the way. We are filing a lawsuit and calling for an injunction to stop this.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

How many ICE goons does it take to change a lightbulb? 50 and 48 billion dollars in the budget + a sniper rifle. This clownish swarm of heavily armed and armored clowns chasing children off a soccer field while apparently not dying of the shame and ridiculousness and banality of their own evil....
This is footage from today in MacArthur Park.

Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through.

The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW.

Absolutely outrageous.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

This damning ruling will undermine the courts' ability to rein in Trump's lawlessness and hold him accountable.

Justice Sotomayor said it best: “No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.”

“You know what would help a lot? Some elite disapproval—publicly and boldly expressed. While a successful democracy depends on some degree of reasonableness from voters, a successful liberal democracy also depends on responsibility and even courage from elites.”

The Public Is Resisting Trump. The Elites Aren’t.
The president is encountering little resistance as he remakes our society. And yet polling is clear that voters aren’t with him.

These clean energy projects represented thousands of good-paying jobs and more affordable energy for Americans.

This is a result of Trump's war on clean energy and his payoff to Big Oil — and it'll only get worse if Republicans pass their giveaway to billionaires.

What a disgrace.
$15 billion in canceled energy projects
Republican districts accounted for 9,000 of those jobs and $9 billion of the $15.5 billion total.
