Yesssssss… I love this 🙌🏼

All the resources of the federal government are being used right now to keep Trump from seeing pictures from or critiques of his parade.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Thousands of peaceful protesters have lined the road for over 8 continuous miles just outside of Washington DC right now! They did not vote for a king and they are well aware that Trump is trying to cut off their health care benefits to give tax breaks to him and his billionaire donors friends.

Can someone please photoshop Trump in a tank like Dukakis?!

Cooperating criminal gets a lighter sentence for lying Whay happens when they realize that he lied?

So proud of my state capital! Stayed close to home today bc our local library had a book sale I worked, but I’ve loved seeing images from Boston and across the country and WORLD! Thank you, everyone 💗 Kudos and gratitude to @maindivisible.bsky.social, @mass50501.bsky.social, and all organizers!

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing theonion.com/protest...

NEW: In the last few hours, Minnesota authorities warned people against attending protests, with a killer on the loose. This is the current view of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. DEFIANCE. 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Daviss)

Not formally linked to Trump? he demanded it, it is happening for him and because of him and only him

I just wanted to remind you all it was reported recently Trump is considering pardoning the people who targeted Whitmer.

Holy shit

For half a decade, right wingers have screamed “the Rubicon has been crossed” over every minor grievance and excruciatingly rare instance where a fascist goon were convicted of a crime. This is an actual Rubicon. The return of Jim Crow political terror unleashed in the name of whiteness.

Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.

At Trump’s age, most people just get a Costco cake and a nap, not a tank parade and flyover costing $45 million. .

Hard to imagine that if a Democratic president did a 180 on their signature policy—and openly admitted that it had been a disastrous failure— it would be described as a “shift in focus.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...

what a fabulous paragraph

Under what authority and how did they square it with the Non-Detention Act?

I think California needs to start arresting Feds. drastic but we’re there.

Seven partners at Willkie Farr & Gallagher — a prominent law firm that cut a deal with President Trump to avoid a potentially punishing executive order — announced that they were departing to join a firm that helped successfully challenge one of Trump’s orders in court.

This ICE agent tells an immigration attorney of her three clients: "I'm not picky so I'm giving you the options cause I have to take one. If not I'll take all." He is quite literally saying that ICE is simply deporting people at random to meet a quota. www.instagram.com/reel/DKzbcQe...

Now do ICE

Things are fucking horrible. And getting worse. During times like these, embrace the things you love. Take joy in video games, in comics, in whatever it is that makes you happy. Have no guilt about this. Taste the strawberry.

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

First, this is correct. Second, notice how Pete runs us through the stases: -what is it -what do we call it -is it good or bad? -what do we do about it? Clear thinking is persuasive thinking.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

SCOOP — ICE employees received an email yesterday telling them the agency's warrantless arrest policy had been rescinded. It's likely part of the Trump administration's efforts to further loosen enforcement restrictions to meet the new quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day. My report:

The overwhelming consensus among Democratic lawmakers commenting on Israel’s attacks on Iran tonight is that Netanyahu is sabotaging diplomacy and recklessly risking a devastating war. The next step should be to make clear: No U.S. help, no U.S. forces, and no U.S. taxpayer funding for Bibi’s war.

Put this on a billboard.

"Hi, it's me, a journalist who just spent the last 15 years half-assing my job by reporting on arguments between accounts on Twitter, instead of real news stories. Anyway, Bluesky is bad because there aren't any arguments to report on so now I don't know how to do my job"
