💔 11 people have been killed in Dnipro, including two children.

Rescuers recovered the bodies of a woman and an 8-year-old boy from beneath the rubble of a four-story residential building destroyed by a Russian strike.

[Saint Javelin @saintjavelin]

He was only three years old😭

Born during Russia’s full-scale invasion, he never had the chance to know what peace feels like.

The war he was born into is the war that killed him.

Russia spent an estimated €250 million on today’s massive attack against Ukraine, according to Bild.

For the same amount of money, Russia could have funded:

- 14 modern schools
- 62 kindergartens
- 10 regional hospitals
- 5,000 ambulances
- 50 sports complexes
- Gas connections for 50,000 homes

Instead, it chose to spend it on missiles, drones, and the destruction of Ukrainian cities.

Russia remains undefeated in its war against civilians.

Russians launched hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles against Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities overnight, killing at least 16 civilians and wounding more than 100 others.

At least 18 people have been killed across Ukraine so far.

[Saint Javelin @saintjavelin]

More than 41,000 people sheltered in Kyiv’s metro stations during the overnight Russian attack on June 2, according to the Kyiv City Administration.

This is the highest number of people recorded in the subway during a nighttime air raid in recent years.

🔥 The number of burned-out Russian vehicles on the R-280 highway is not decreasing.

[Saint Javelin @saintjavelin]

The most fascinating part of reading those comments is watching Russians talk about “revenge.”

Revenge for what?

Russia started this war. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. Russia launched a full-scale invasion in 2022. Russia has spent years bombing cities, occupying territory, abducting children, and killing civilians.

Ukraine is cutting off Russia's logistics in the direction of Crimea. The only remaining route for delivering gasoline and large cargoes to Crimea is the Kerch Bridge.

And we remember how beautifully the trucks burn and explode on that Bridge.

BREAKING: BRAVO! Governor Tina Kotek of Oregon REVOKES the right of Trump's ICE agents to acquire undercover license plates — throwing a massive wrench into their operations.

This is a brilliant little chess move...

“ICE agents have repeatedly engaged in illegitimate activities, causing unwarranted chaos, sowing fear, and damaging the relationship between law enforcement and our communities,” Kotek stated. “Oregon will follow state law and ensure we do not aid these unlawful immigration enforcement efforts."

Thanks to the governor's bold decision, state transportation officials will no longer issue the undercover plates when ICE agents request them. Those plates are an invaluable piece of ICE's strategy, allowing them to infiltrate communities where they're unwanted without alerting watch groups, activists, or the migrants being targeted in their raids.

The announcement comes just days after the White House sued Oregon and several other blue states for refusing to issue the plates. Rather than back down, Governor Kotek has doubled down and made the plate blockade official.

“We cannot expend state resources to assist in federal immigration enforcement,” stated DMV Administrator Amy Joyce. “The prospect of litigation in this area is real. We need to follow state law and protect taxpayers from legal risk. Where there is not risk of breaking state law, Oregon DMV will continue to partner with federal law enforcement agencies like the FBI, DEA and U.S. Marshals Service.”

This is an incredibly welcome move from the governor's office. ICE is operating as Trump's private paramilitary force rather than as a nonpartisan federal agency. He's using them to target his political enemies, terrorize minority communities, and project an atmosphere of fear across the entire country. These agents are stomping on our Constitution, violating civil rights, and destroying innocent families. Democratic governors must do everything in their power to hamper their lawless activities.

Please ❤️ and share to urge other blue states to follow Governor Kotek's lead!

BREAKING: OUTSMARTING TRUMP — Hawaii just taxed millionaires to replace the food stamps and Medicaid that Trump ripped away from poor families.

While the national Democratic Party debates whether to move left or right, Hawaii just answered the question by doing both at once — and it wasn't even close.

Governor Josh Green signed Senate Bill 3125 last week, creating a 13% income tax bracket for joint filers earning over $1 million, while preserving tax cuts for more than 90% of Hawaii households earning under $350,000. Then he signed a separate $31 million emergency funding package to replace the Medicaid and food assistance that Trump's administration slashed.

The Trump regime cut food assistance. Hawaii taxed the rich to put it back.

Here's what makes this story even more remarkable: it passed with Republican votes. Every Republican senator voted yes. Six of ten House Republicans voted yes or yes with reservations, including House Minority Leader Lauren Matsumoto, who called the tax relief "a step in the right direction."

The only full-throated ideological objection came from one Republican who argued that taxing rich people means they have less money to give their employees — the standard trickle-down argument that polls have thoroughly discredited. One person made it. The rest voted yes.

This isn't just good policy. It's a roadmap.

Hawaii lost nearly $3 billion in federal support from Trump's reckless cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Governor Green looked at that gap, looked at his state's wealthiest residents, and made a straightforward decision: they pay.

The national Democratic Party has spent months agonizing over whether progressive economics can win broad coalitions. Hawaii just demonstrated it can — in a bipartisan vote, during a moment when Americans are watching Republican economic promises collapse in real time. Tariffs have cost the average family more than $1,700. Medicaid cuts are landing on people already struggling. The One Big Beautiful Bill is taking food from children.

In that environment, defending tax breaks for millionaires while cutting school lunches is a losing argument. Even some Republicans in Hawaii figured that out.

Progressive economic policy paired with tangible relief for working families isn't just base politics. It's majority politics.

Hawaii proved it. The rest of the Democratic Party should be paying attention.
