always loved Little Golden Books... 😆

OK, this is how it's done.

“A reporter from THE CITY had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, “Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?” www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/17/b...

This is police being terrorists. There is no reason to accelerate into a crowd unless you’re actively trying to terrorize people.

NOTE TO MY FELLOW AMERICANS: Regime change starts at home.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

The American gestapo.

Kristi Noem doesn't need your prayers. She's got the super duper healthcare coverage that wealthy Americans hoard for themselves. To be clear, the Americans who don't have healthcare don't need your prayers either. They need universal healthcare.

It appears Fox News may have manipulated audio from the 250 Army parade. In the first clip from Fox News viewers heard a crowd sing "Happy Birthday" to the president. It's not audible in the same footage from Fox Nation, Fox Live Now, AP, USA Today, Reuters, PBS, ABC, CBS or NBC

He really needs to calm down and turn off Fox News.

Don’t underestimate how Donald being pissed at the military for humiliating him with its shabby military parade is factoring into his current talk of putting them in harm’s way. He *is* that petulant.

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Tucker Carlson's interview laid bare that Ted Cruz hasn't bothered to truly inform himself about Iran and that he's not someone whose opinion anyone should give any weight to. It's sad that it took someone as awful as Carlson, who is no journalist, to do what real journalists should've been doing.

you know shit's bad when kathy's cursing

Trump's ICE Goons Expand Their Terror Campaign New York City comptroller Brad Lander is the latest Democrat to be assaulted by masked ICE agents who are now Trump's brownshirts and represent a growing threat to American safety. With @jesscraven101.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjnpPomd/ Senate Republicans ar working to send thousands of student loan holders into default. This will disproportionately harm kids of poor families who had to borrow more. Think hard on that.

Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who is running for mayor, was arrested on Tuesday by federal agents at an immigration courthouse in Lower Manhattan as he tried to escort a migrant whom agents were seeking to arrest.  Lander's wife posted this video of the event:

Senator Padilla (D-CA) took to the Senate floor to emotionally describe what led to him being forcefully removed from a news conference last week by being forced to the ground, handcuffed, and detained when he tried to question Trump's response to the protests in LA. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jyC...

There is very little more vicious than an “evangelical” in charge of a budget that affects other people.

"I'd heal you if you were more in favor of taking food and medicine from the poor." --GOP Jesus www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

"To try to make up for the staffing shortfall, [DOGE] has encouraged specialized professionals like lawyers, human resources staff and technologists to take reassignments in customer service jobs — often at higher pay than what the people they’re replacing had made." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

In due course, we shall learn that DOGE was essentially a data mining operation for the benefit of the tech bros and allied foreign interests, most of them intensely hostile to the United States.

This has seemed obvious from the start.

It’s all just stunning and horrifying.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

No the violence is not from across parties. The AP is wrong. Look at the example it cites. The attempted assassination of Trump was from a Republican. All of these are forms of rightwing violence. All of them.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Please note that the Black folks are sitting this one out. It’s not that we don’t love our country. It’s that this fight is not of our making, and our PRESENCE would agitate the police to shoot. We did all the heavy lifting to perfect and preserve democracy domestically for the last 100 years.

Yesssssss… I love this 🙌🏼
