Like so many elections around the country, today is about organized money vs. organized people. I believe people will win.

RFK Jr. is killing Americans with his reckless health policies. We need to state that plainly because it's important and it's true.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

So, apparently the story they're going with so far is that Iran coordinated an attack against the US... with the US.

Rubio said, "The world today is safer and more stable than it was 24 hours ago." Increased terror alerts. Ships turning back in the Strait of Hormuz. US bases on high alert. Iran stockpiling uranium and threatening Americans... while our own government threatens us. Doesn’t feel safer.

Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia graduate and pro-Palestinian activist, was released on bail after more than 100 days of detention on Friday. He said if President Trump’s goal had been to suppress pro-Palestinian speech, he had “absolutely failed.” nyti.ms/3ZJ6ZCb

There will be many consequences of Trump’s bombing of Iran. Gravest amongst them is that the war crime of the 21st century - currently unfolding in Gaza - will continue to be erased from the airwaves. Historically shameful.

The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.” No warrant. No due process. No rights. Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass. #MAGAKidnappers

Elon Musk, a tech titan tangled in his own web of bias, scrambles to "fix" Grok, his AI, for daring to expose truths about right-wing terror. Instead of facing facts, he spins a false narrative, bending tech to echo his views. #3E

Donald Trump is deploying troops to aid in immigration enforcement, which under federal statute is a civil and not criminal matter. They are not fighting an invasion, quelling an insurrection or defending federal property. Thus, Trump is clearly violating the law. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...

“Research is the classic example of a ‘public good’ that won’t be undertaken by private firms seeking profit. And if you combine huge funding cuts with an environment in which scientists are essentially told what conclusions to reach, that’s pretty much the end of science in America. /1

Why another protest? What is it going to accomplish? Shouldn’t we be [insert alternate tactic] instead? These are good-faith questions, and they stem from very reasonable concerns. So let’s take a step back and talk about the role of a peaceful mass mobilization like No Kings.

Let’s be clear: federal attacks on science and higher education aim to silence and remove communities with open discourse and critical thought—aiming to replace them with structures of political compliance, like those in the authoritarian regimes of China and Russia. ⚛️ 🧪 #highered #research

Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines to LA to suppress protesters against ICE’s brutal assault on immigrant garment workers. Just process that: Sending in the military to crack down on protesters. We’re now at severe risk of martial law. That’s what they’ve wanted all along.
