Thanks to @mapember for joining us to discuss her new book, which exposes the lasting trauma caused by the forced assimilation and abuse of hundreds of thousands of Native children. Her mom was sent to a boarding school at age 5. Listen here: kalw.org/show/your-call/2026…

This is Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, honoring a veteran he cared for at a VA hospital.
The son of the deceased veteran just posted this video on Facebook with the following message:
“RIP Alex Pretti,
he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’ sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to ‘fight the good fight’”

This messy Trump-Musk breakup is truly the gayest thing about pride month

so many things wrong here but let's start with not pointing the barrel of that rifle at your buddy's head @boldamericanpod
Human traffickers. Drug Smugglers. 18th Street Gang members. Spent the morning in Phoenix with our brave @ICEgov and Arizona law enforcement arresting these dirtbags and getting them off of our streets.

Why aren’t you wearing a suit?
Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

Not quite sure the media is making a big enough deal how fucking sick of a visual this is.
Describe Kristi Noem in one word.

There’s a reason why my people banned you from our homelands. That is our homeland security against settler fascists like you.

If Pete Hegseth had even a tiny bit of honor and sense of responsibility, then he would hand in his resignation this morning.

(Thread) Kristi Noem had a credit card with a balance paid for by South Dakota taxpayers while governor of our great state. Yesterday, The Dakota Scout was threatened with a lawsuit for reporting that she and her staff tallied hundreds of thousands on state issued cards.

Morgan Harris’s daughters and family have changed history. They would not back down when they were told no, that authorities would not search for their mother’s remains in the landfill.
Now, their mother is going home to them. It was a battle that played out publicly in front of Canada and the world. The genocide of our women and girls displayed in the most degrading and horrible way. But these daughters stood tall, the warrior blood in their veins carried them through to fight for justice. It took over two years. But, it’s proven our women matter. We are valuable and worth finding. Worth fighting for.
I am so proud of these girls. Here is a montage of some of the events of the past couple of years featuring Cambria Harris, Elle Harris and Melissa Robinson.

We stand with the @AP which is resisting government pressure attempting to dictate how it writes about the news. This is exactly what the founders had in mind when they crafted the First Amendment.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice.
This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.
