In New York City, Harlem Baseball Hitting Academy founder Yeoman Wilder intervened when supposed ICE agents started questioning his youth baseball team. Wilder said the agents asked the kids: “Where they're from, who are their parents, and I just thought, ‘whoa, whoa … this is not good.’”
Wilder, who has a Masters Degree in law, instructed the players to go to the far end of the batting cages—and told the agents they were all invoking their Fifth Amendment rights. One of the agents called him a “YouTube lawyer,” to which Wilder responded: “No, I just know how the Constitution works.” Not all heroes wear capes.

If I were an all-time beneficiary of nepotism, I would just quietly enjoy my unearned professional success and decline to comment on the careers of other people.
A reminder that Jeffrey Epstein died under Donald Trump.
In a federal facility overseen by his Attorney General, Bill Barr.
The same Bill Barr whose father first gave Epstein access to kids and a job at the Dalton School when he had zero qualifications to teach there.
The Bill Barr who worked at the law firm Kirkland & Ellis, which represented Epstein in that Florida case.
If MAGA wants answers, then they should be demanding Bill Barr gets dragged in for a hearing in front of Congress.
Donald Trump and Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives — and they used that power to make life more expensive for you.
He planted cucumber, dill, and mint. He was shot bringing home flour. His daughter’s sunglasses were still on his head. This is one of the most devastating things you’ll read.
One thing is quickly becoming clear about “Alligator Alcatraz,” the immigrant detention camp that the state of Florida just opened in the middle of the Everglades:
The politicians running the place are bigger lawbreakers than many of the immigrants they’re locking up.
🧵...
They told you Alligator Alcatraz was for the "worst of the worst." The truth: 100s of the people held there have no criminal record whatsoever. These innocents are being subjected to sweltering heat, bug infestations, worms in the food, sewage on the floor. Every person of conscience should be outraged.
If you're a Western government supporting Israel and okay with this, then you really need to formally apologize to the Serbs and the late Slobodan Milosevic.
Benjamin Netanyahu has been indicted as a war criminal.
His government is systematically killing and starving the people of Gaza.
He will be remembered as one of the monsters of modern history.
And Trump welcomed him to the White House.
What a joke. We’re dealing w/ a reality show dictator who uses Truth Social to notify/terrify a city of 10M people to evacuate + then says the decision on war will be “made within two weeks.”
I don’t know how the US ever recovers from this blow to our credibility in the world.
🔥 @Rep_Stansbury: “These guys (Republicans) are proposing to give $7 TRILLION in tax breaks to billionaires, millionaires, and their corporate donors by taking away food from children.”
“The math ain’t mathing!!”
NASHVILLE Councilwoman Zulfat Suara points out the ICE press release this week (that generated their desired ‘violent offender’ headlines in TN media) only claimed 5 serious offenders out of the 200 people they grabbed.
