Good Morning to all who understand the celebration of Juneteenth. We must not let the corrupt, fascist Republican Party literally “whitewash” our history. Stay free, y’all! #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

damn -- Duckworth to Hegseth: "If you want to be the DHS secretary, maybe you can apply for that job when you're fired from this one due to your incompetence."

Welch: I have no faith in him all because he acts like a guy who got a day pass from the memory wing of a nursing home. When you see him on TV, he's slurring. He's not competent. It is just terrifying when you see the chyron that says Trump is reviewing war plans.

Photo enlargement of Trump’s right hand. What do you think he’s trying to cover up with all the makeup?

RFK Jr. told 3 LIES about an American healthcare hero, Dr. Paul Offen, who developed a vaccine that saved over 140K kids' lives so far -- then he FIRED HIM. He was serving on the virus advisory health panel FOR FREE. 🎥 2min. Get mad, tell others, call your MOC. www.youtube.com/shorts/wkjLt...

Immigration judges are alarmed by ICE grabbing immigrants at courthouses. By the way, immigrants can request to appear in court via Zoom. All immigration attorneys should request this. Stop allowing immigrants to be grabbed at courthouses #ImmigrationLaw m.youtube.com/watch?v=HWx9...

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Across the U.S., state #security officials and violence prevention advocates have reached the same conclusion: The federal government has retreated from the fight against #extremist #violence, which for years had been a top priority for the #FBI. | ProPublica www.propublica.org/article/trum...

They’re not coming for the most dangerous or violent. They are abducting people at their jobs, calling them in for fake check-ins to meet their daily quotas, and kidnapping US citizens. They’re coming to tear apart our communities. The cruelty is the point. #MAGAKidnappers

Americans Are Going to Die’ -- Why Dr. Fiona Havers, an influential vaccine researcher, left the CDC. The wholesale dismissal of the agency’s scientific advisers crossed the line, she said (Gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/h...

@bradlander.bsky.social: "I was in a DHS detention for about 3.5 hours... I'm going to sleep at home in my bed tonight, safe with my family. But at Edgardo, who I was trying to accompany, he is in ICE detention. God knows where he's going to sleep tonight. And who knows what state."

“A reporter from THE CITY had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, “Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?” www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/17/b...

Farmworkers are hiding because Trump made them targets. Without farmworkers, the crops that feed our nation rot and our tables go empty. This isn’t strong immigration policy — it’s economic sabotage fueled by hate. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Man ‘fitting the general description’ of someone wanted by ICE arrested at courthouse. It turned out to be a US Marshal

SCHATZ: "This is the stuff of dictatorships. He identified himself. That should be enough."

I am ashamed of this country. We are supposed to be a melting pot of cultures. Celebrating eachother and our differences. I am sick to my stomach.

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

We will not sit on the sidelines. We will speak out when we see wrong. We will speak up to make things right. The president directing DOJ to investigate political rivals is dangerous and unprecedented. Full statement here: www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... @lwvus.bsky.social @thecelinafactor.bsky.social

they just assaulted a sitting united states senator and dragged him out of a press conference "opposition legislator violently removed by regime thugs" would be an accurate description if you saw it anywhere else.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

So video of this 2012 interview is popping up on other sites. Feels super relevant at the moment. Wait for the moment Rubio gets pinned to the wall about his grandfather’s deportation order… (h/t @reuben_reyñoso)

BREAKING: Judge says Mahmoud Khalil cannot be detained or deported based on Rubio’s determination. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Democracy is under assault right before our eyes,” Newsom warned. “The moment we’ve feared has arrived. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Newsom: Just moments ago, they called up an additional 2,000 National Guard troops. So now it’s 4,000 total—of which only 300 have actually been operationalized. And guess what? Yesterday, LAPD had to use their already scarce resources to protect those National Guardsmen and women…

Watching the 9pm (my time) Maddow show, and she's profiling people who have been released from ICE detention due to sustained community protest. The teen volleyball player from Mass, the little girl with a dire medical condition, and Carol, the woman from Missouri, are among those released.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

Neo-nazi group with clear Russian links expands activity in the US www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

ICE arrested former Afghan Nat'l Army soldier—our ally against Taliban—at his home in TX. He entered legally and atty says he has no criminal record. Was applying for asylum. Appears to be casualty of Trump decision de-documenting legal Afghan immigrants www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

🫠 Elon Musk's father has arrived in Moscow to take part in the "Future Forum 2050." Нe is listed as a speaker on the forum's website.

Trump: Well, we're going to have troops everywhere.  Reporter: What’s the bar for sending in the Marines  Trump: The bar is what I think it is.

NBC News - The White House is looking for a new chief of staff and several senior advisers to support Defense Secretary Hegseth after a series of missteps that have shaken confidence in his leadership, but it has so far found no suitable takers. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/whi

"Agents arrested immigrants as they came to scheduled check-ins or made courthouse appearances up and down the state, tearing apart families. One father was arrested in front of his 8-year old-son. Parents raised alarms after a Torrance elementary student and his father were set for deportation."

Make it stop!! A two year old whose Visa will expire in a couple weeks deported to Brazil. Brilliant, you a**hats!! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjpkTT2w/

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Am I the only one that finds it absolutely wild that the US would rather tear it's country apart & destroy democracy than accept basic human right & basic science that have been around since the 50's? Absolutely wild.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

The city of Glendale, in Los Angeles County, announced today that they're quitting an agreement with ICE thad allowed ICE to house its detainees at the Glendale police department. mynewsla.com/crime/2025/0...
