It's long past time for editorial boards across the U.S. to call for Trump to: (1) resign; (2) be removed via the 25th Am; and (3) to be impeached. They don't have to choose which way he should be removed, but they must explicitly argue that he cannot be allowed to remain POTUS.

Itโ€™s heartbreaking to see little kids appearing all alone in immigration court, without a lawyer. This week, I led 15 of my colleagues to introduce the Fair Day in Court for Kids Act, to ensure that unaccompanied minors get legal representation during immigration proceedings.

"Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained." โ€” Amos Goldberg, Professor of Holocaust History, Hebrew University of Jerusalem #GazaGenocide #IsraeliTerrorism

This child lost his sight from birth as a result of inhaling internationally banned phosphorus, which was used by the Israeli occupation army. Despite this, he lives in harsh humanitarian conditions inside a tent that lacks the most basic necessities of life, and he suffers from extreme heat every day. Amid all this suffering, the child had a very simple dream: to ride in a car and go for a drive. Today, we were able to fulfill one of his small dreams, and we saw joy filling his face and heart. Sometimes the simplest wishes are the most beautiful, and the simplest moments have the greatest impact on childrenโ€™s lives.

I seriously want to know. . . What's it going to take? Every day. Every single day. Israel bombs and kills civilians in Gaza. Since October 7, 2023: 73,000 Palestinians killed 20,000 of them children โ€” one every hour, for two years 270 journalists killed โ€” Israel is the #1 killer of journalists on the planet, three years running 173,000 wounded The numbers aren't in dispute. The videos aren't in dispute. The International Court of Justice is hearing genocide charges. The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants. And don't come back with "yeah, but October 7th...", because that completely ignores that Israel held 5,200 Palestinian prisoners on October 6th, 1,264 of them without charges or trial, and had already killed nearly 500 Palestinians in the West Bank alone in 2023 before a single Israeli died that day. What is it going to take? How many civilians have to die before those of you who support Israel finally say "Enough!"

Detaining kids aged 8โ€“12 for picking vegetables tells you everything about this occupation.
At the request of the illegal โ€œHavat Maonโ€ settlers, Israeli forces detained five Palestinian children, aged 8โ€“12, for gathering wild vegetables and flowers near the settlement.

Itโ€™s obvious that the revoking of the legal status of 530,000 Immigrants is all about racism and not whether they came here the right way.

This is a video from over 10 years ago but I still love it, having spent three wonderful summers as an ice cream truck driver when I was in college. Best job I ever had!
The ice cream man passed awayโ€ฆ and every ice cream truck in the city pulled up like it was a final parade. Rest in peace...

An idea I need someone to run with: some sort of annual event in Boston that brings tons of Scots here. Iโ€™m not sure what the event is, but I think we can all agree that these incredible vibes canโ€™t just be a one-off thing. Who can figure this out?

Republicans hoped you wouldn't notice their refusal to stand up to Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund. Now the courts are providing the accountability the GOP was too scared to deliver.
