An important history lesson from the Grandmother of Juneteenth herself. op: blkcultureunlocked (via TikTok)

My Statement on the Supreme Court's Ruling in United States v. Skrmetti to Restrict Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth.

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

Here is the cruel post that Chuck Schumer has since deleted after being called out on it. The lives of trans children are not a distraction, @schumer.senate.gov

Trump says mass deportations are urgent—but not if they mess with his donors’ pockets. ICE was told to back off farms & hotels 'cause it was bad for business. But LA and Chicago? Open season. Please be for real—this is the weaponization of government against cities that refuse to bow down to him.

It's pretty telling that the second part of the "Mamdani is a danger to Jewish new yorkers" pitch is always "so vote for sexual harasser shitbag Italian Catholic Andrew Cuomo" and not "so vote for Jewish Progressive Brad Lander"

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

@replamonica.bsky.social Is fighting false charges, but she's really standing up for all of us. We know they are targeting her because she's a Black Congresswoman and believes in accountability. As usual, Homan and his henchmen/women can't keep their stories straight. We all need to support her.

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

Shameful.

If you stand with @padilla.senate.gov, stand with @replamonica.bsky.social. Tell your Reps & Senators how you feel about the charges against her. 202-224-3121 And call the DOJ comment line: 202-353-1555

Rep. McIver was indicted for doing her job. That's some bullshit. This is political retaliation, plain and simple. Democrats stand with her. You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us.

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

I don’t support Trump wasting at least $45 million in taxpayer money on a military parade for his authoritarian birthday. Give that money to Veterans. Don’t forget to subscribe: www.dworkinsubstack.com/subscribe

What separates journalism from stenography is independent reporting, verification and context. Trump calls in the National Guard for LA — note he did not do so for the insurrection. He says no one will spit on law enforcement, note he pardoned those who physically assaulted law enforcement Jan 6.

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

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.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Trump and Musk are feuding. Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't know what was in the bill she voted for. Joni Ernst is walking through cemeteries and saying we’re all going to die. Would be funny if they weren’t kicking 16 million Americans off their health care.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Marco Rubio just announced that the U.S. will deny visas to foreign officials who try to hold social media companies accountable for disinformation—even if that disinformation incites violence or undermines democracy. 🚨 So now protecting the public from lies is grounds for punishment?

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

I love how third way dipshits label me an extremist for... *checks notes* Citing an Olympic funded scientific study showing trans women do not have an unfair advantage in women's sports.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

Resolution Copper is blocking comments and hiding replies from anyone calling out what they’re doing at Oak Flat. They’re trying to mine on sacred Native American land, with the government’s help, and don’t want the public to push back.

George Floyd should be alive today. He should be raising his daughter, living his life. 5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags. His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.” Let’s stop failing her, and him. Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw

Jake Tapper's book is nothing more than the corporate media trying to shift the blame for 2024 off themselves. Unsure how people can't see this.

What an absolutely embarrassing and disgusting bag of flesh we have as the “leader” of our country. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

This is the weaponization of government—full stop. If you speak out against them—or in this case do your job—they will come for you. What we’re seeing with @replamonica.bsky.social is a political stunt, and we won’t stand for it.
