“No! Mis hijos estan en La escuela! (My kids are in school!) Por favor!” Tennessee’s @davidwontshutup.bsky.social on a very difficult video to watch of ICE grabbing a mother outside immigration court in Texas.

Good morning beautiful souls! School's out so the summer reading club will start Monday at my library and I'm the lead this year. Maybe some #GoodTrouble in my future 😎 Happy Friday! 🌞☕🌻🏃‍♀️🕉️

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

BREAKING: ICE RAID reported at Buona Forchetta tonight about a mile up the road in San Diego. Smoke bombs were used to disperse the crowd. FUCK ICE. WTF?!

Deregulation. Privatization. Tax cuts. Free trade. Stagnant pay for most. A soaring stock market for the top. That’s the legacy of neoliberalism. Don’t buy revisionist attempts to rehabilitate it. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-tragic-history-of-neoliberalism

"Not everyone's presence improves a situation, and sometimes their absence is the best gift."

Trump lied about the number of undocumented immigrants, so now he has to *create* them by stripping LEGAL immigrants of their status so he has someone to disappear. And the oligarchs on the Supreme Court are helping him.

Civics 101: presidents are not kings…

The Trump administration just made it harder to know if federal judges are actually qualified.

Credit to @thedemcoalition.bsky.social Of course, more lies... Qatar is demanding a written memo from the WH that says felon 47 asked them to give him a Boeing 747-8 for free Now Qatar expects a paper trail before just giving away a jet So, Qatar didn't "gift" it, he reportedly "begged" for it

Trumpnado alert.

We’re sure many of you have heard about the growing controversy in Oklahoma, where parents are pushing back against a new curriculum quietly pushed through by the state’s superintendent.

"Where are the Democratic leaders? We should have been dancing on this (the "We're all going to die!" remarks of Sen. Joni Earnst to her constituents who complained of healthcare cuts) two seconds after she said it!" -Rev. Al Sharpton He's exactly right. Where are they?

BREAKING: Over 130 former federal & state judges have filed an amicus brief urging the court to drop charges against Judge Dugan in Wisconsin The charges seek to criminalize judicial discretion & set a dangerous precedent for executive overreach We MUST defend judicial independence👇

Yes, let’s be as unprepared as possible and follow the kooks off a cliff.

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

GOP legislatures in Alaska, Nebraska, and Missouri are trying overturn voter-approved referenda requiring paid sick leave. And in 9 other red states, Republican lawmakers are trying to restrict citizen-led ballot measures altogether. The GOP can't stand the will of the people.

I don’t want to live in a world where people are in jail and barred from work for smoking weed but an unelected man actively abusing ketamine faces no repercussions for illegally seizing all of our data and making decisions that kill hundreds of thousands of people

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.

Breaking news: Contradicting HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the CDC continues to recommend the coronavirus vaccines for healthy children, according to new documentation posted to the agency's website.

We’re turning 10 this year, and we’re kicking off the celebration early with a LIVE virtual town hall with @repjasmine.bsky.social and Jon Tester this Tuesday at 12 PM ET. Will we see you there?

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

In normal times, DOJ wins most of its cases because it has the resources to ensure that presidential actions are lawful. But under Trump, the Department is run by a sycophantic election denying enabler. The result is DOJ's credibility with judges is in tatters and it is losing case after case.

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.
