The Hound 6/16

Hi there,

It’s Monday. Today, we’re focused on Trump’s weaponization of ICE against Democratic-run cities, the search for the suspect in the politically-motivated Minnesota shootings, the fallout of Senator Padilla’s forced ejection from a press conference, and more.

We’re also tracking a plan by the Trump administration to launch an Office of “Remigration”. This story received scant coverage by mainstream media despite the term’s roots in far-right, ethnic cleansing ideology.

🖊️  Sign our petition demanding the media expose this dangerous proposal.

Read about this, and more, with today’s stories:

We want to acknowledge that today’s top headlines may feel particularly ominous, and recognize that these stories can take an emotional toll. Remember to take care of yourselves, and one another. Step away if you need to, and we’ll be back with you tomorrow.

Until then,

Harry from The Hound
