Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm. We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs. What the hell are we doing?

The reason we fight against fascism is because of love. Love for our friends and family. Our children deserve better than this. They deserve not to live in a place where they must fear getting shot. We love them. So we have to win. And in time, we will. The axe forgets but the tree remembers.

New in PN: States can step into the breach "Given that Trump administration officials are giving license to mass criminality among federal law enforcement officers, there may be only one remaining avenue for bringing such criminal cops to justice: State prosecutions."

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

"I'm not comfortable with phone calls aswell, that's not exclusive to autism" Me: I never said it was. However, do you have to manually prepare for these phone calls. Writing down words for what you'll say. Is your day ruined where you can't do anything else and don't get me started on afterwards.

ICE is rounding people up in the Clear Lake area of Houston (home of NASA Johnson Space Center). They took all of the workers at a Spanish store near NR1 and 45 as well as from apartment complexes in the area. Even if people have the right documents. ICE tells them they are fake and arrests them.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Happy for New Yorkers who showed Cuomo the door. Wish we’d all had this energy back in November.

people are going to rightly caution against nationalizing the results of a local primary election, but it is also worth remembering that New York City is larger than all but 12 states, and Manhattan alone is larger than 10 of them.

Phang: Did it ever occur to the Trump administration that the reason more nationwide injunctions have been entered during President Trump’s term is because the shit he’s doing is illegal and unconstitutional?

RFK Jr. wants to see everyone in the US using wearable fitness trackers within four years. This idea is dumb for a lot of reasons, several of which I’ve mentioned here, and another one is that the tech usually gets outdated within 2 years. A livable wage and safe neighborhoods last a lot longer.

“The soft power suicide of the U.S. will be incomprehensible to future historians who will be dumbfounded in their attempts to explain why the global leader voluntarily wrecked one of its greatest national assets...” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/b...

Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.

Iwo Jima. We bombed the hell out of Mt.Suribachi for days. The dead Marines on the beach showed how ineffective it was.

Got fired for telling my coworkers to do tasks that had been assigned to me and saying that it was "by order of the Peaky Blinders"

The idea that carrying a meme on your phone could factor into your treatment at the border is a sign of how authoritarian things have gotten, here. And the fact that the image is not a threat, makes it all the more chilling. People used to joke that autocracies fear humor and now it’s true.👇

SCHIFF: Would it ever be appropriate for the DOJ to tell the court, 'We're gonna ignore your order' ARTAU: I mean, Abraham Lincoln did that with the Dred Scott case SCHIFF: I'm hoping we're not gonna be going back the Civil War
