BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Double.

MSNBC: Does everyone who has been arrested by ICE agents have a criminal record? TOM HOMAN: Absolutely not.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Grandma Reactions BSKY debut? For those that don’t know I’ve been this queen’s primary caregiver for the last 20 years. Wouldn’t change a thing.

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

Well, hell. RIP to perhaps the greatest one-liner delivery machine in TV history.

Well #ParamountPlus, I’m out! ✌🏾

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

The very first clip of COSMOS—this is where it all began. A voyage from the shores of Earth's oceans to the infinite expanses of the Milky Way, Andromeda, and beyond. Thank you, Carl, for taking us on this journey. We remain forever in your debt.

Carl Sagan when asked, "Are you a Socialist?"

Nearly 60% of Puerto Rico’s more than 1.4 million utility customers remained without power on Thursday, the morning after a blackout knocked all of the island’s functioning power plants offline and left the entire island in the dark.

The Monarch #butterfly embarks on one of nature's most incredible journeys, migrating up to 3,000 miles from #Canada to central #Mexico. These tiny travelers, with wings of vibrant orange, navigate the vast distances using the sun and Earth’s magnetic fields, defying the odds

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

Nice try.

Texans: I see a lot of confusion about who to call for what. If it’s state legislation, call the purple numbers. If it’s federal, call the blue ones. Find yours at wrm.capitol.texas.gov

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

Oh my God, I just had a full night’s sleep and Cory Booker is still going… www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb...

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

🇺🇸 ‼️ Trump is now going after elections and threatening to pull the funding of states that don’t comply. (TLDR: You are not alarmed enough) www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake Ratcliffe: No Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

Thank you!!!!

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

When you look at this crowd AOC is drawing today, here’s the part you should remember. This is Greeley, Colorado where GOP Congressman Gabe Evans refuses to hold a town hall. They should all be counting their days in office.

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

🔥 WATCH LIVE: AOC and Bernie Sanders hold MASSIVE Fighting Oligarchy rally in Denver

🚨THIS IS AMAZING: An incredible crowd showed up to see Rep. AOC in Greeley, Colorado where Republican Gabe Evans is hiding from his constituents. MAGA doesn't believe this is happening. Make sure everyone sees this.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email: "Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."

NEW: AOC in Vegas. Major challenge to Dem leadership🔥 “If you’re willing to fight for someone you don’t know, you’re welcome here. But I will say this: Those leaders on either side of aisle willing to put their fellow Americans down so they can get ahead; they may best find a home somewhere else.”

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

🇺🇲

If we really want to “make America healthy again,” we’d have Medicare for All.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is reportedly set to call for snap elections next month as the popularity of the Liberal Party soars.

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

Ummm… 👇 See the problem?!
