As the world focuses on Israel’s war with Iran, violence against Palestinians has scaled up in the occupied territories.

Very important message regarding the BBB and how it relates to federal employees. Follow the account to stay informed. #fuckthesedickheads #resist

A strike on Iran is serious business—not a Fox News segment. I’m wary of Trump and Hegseth playing war games. But if our military is called to act, there’s no doubt: it’ll be swift, smart, and unmatched. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/striking-i...

Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

The Constitution is crystal clear: the president does not have the authority to go to war with Iran without approval by Congress. I strongly support bipartisan efforts to prevent Trump from unilaterally dragging us into another war in the Middle East.

The FDA on Wednesday approved a twice-yearly injection that provided a near-perfect shield against HIV infection in clinical trials.

She did not "give birth". She was brain dead. They delivered the baby via C-section. Get your headlines right, you twits! Women are NOT incubators with legs. www.thedailybeast.com/brain-dead-w...

U.S. bankruptcy Trustee Christopher Murray has filed three suits accusing Infowars host Alex Jones of hiding millions of dollars in cash and property. https://n.pr/3STi0x3

The PBS funding cuts are a blow to children who need it most. With more options than ever for kids' entertainment, producing research-backed, high-quality, non-advertising content for families—particularly those in low-resource areas—has never been more important.

I think if you’re a lawmaker calling for U.S. military action against Iran, you should be required to post a verified video of yourself pointing it out on an unlabeled map and offering at least an undergraduate level summary of the past five years of Iranian foreign policy.

Students in schools operated by the Department of Defense, like students in every other public school, have a right to an inclusive education free from censorship.

A dangerous provision is being considered by the Senate that would prevent states from regulating AI for ten years with no federal alternative. We must tell Congress to oppose this ten year ban on AI regulation immediately.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

This photo in particular is just gutting. 💔 (As seen on a FB post by @weratedogs.com linking to the Helping Paws site.) Donation link in quoted post, below:

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

This is Faye. She wanted to bring a little sunshine into your life. Heard it can help with the happiness. 14/10 thank you so much Faye

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

NEW: A ProPublica investigation found that for more than a decade, the FDA gave substandard factories banned from the United States a special pass to keep sending drugs to an unsuspecting public.

The reactions to the Minnesota shooting have been unhinged and insane. There is no room for violence…. It only gets worse: www.youtube.com/watch?v=POY9...

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

ICE is using no-bid contracts, boosting big firms, to get more detention beds apnews.com/article/immi...

Third Actors turned out for #NoKingsDay all across Maryland, incl. serving as safety marshals and co-organizers for a combined #TeslaTakedown and #NoKingsOnThePike rally. 5,000 people lined a nearly 2-mile stretch of Rockville Pike in Rockville. @thirdactorg.bsky.social #Democracy #NoKings

This is your reminder that Adriana Smith is still on life support against her family’s wishes even though she is dead, because, in Georgia, women are incubators.

We were among a few thousand attending the ‘No Kings’ demonstration in Kansas City where, despite the Missouri governor trying to fool people to believe otherwise, it was a peaceful rally—with zero police and National Guard presence. #NoKings #KansasCity

Whose streets? Our streets! 🇺🇸💙 Normies against fascism in RVA #nokings

The anti-abortion movement in America has killed people with guns, bombs and laws. Yesterday, one of its members assassinated a Minnesota politician. We must reject religious extremism and restore reproductive rights for all Americans.

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

No Kings - Frederick, Maryland.

Thousands showed up today in my new town, Middletown Rhode Island. Proud to be a Little Rhody!

#NoKings in Fargo, ND/ Moorhead, MN. #Resist #HandsOff

Monhegan Island may be tiny, but today it stood tall. From lobster traps to lighthouse views, islanders raised their voices to say: no kings, no fascists, no fear. Even 12 miles out to sea, democracy finds defenders. #NoKings

In a town where the official population is listed as 1222 (in 2023, but see the comments below the original post) this is somewhere around 8–10 percent of the population who turned out for #NoKings. Way to go West Yellowston!

❤️ Thank you Cincinnati.

Good NoKings turnout in Annapolis.

Really good crowd for Billings, Montana. Can’t wait to see how Missoula shows out.

Big crowd at #NoKings in Williamsville, NY. Lots of support from honking cars.

Turnout was huge here in Norfolk. Planned for 500-1k, easily over 2k people showed.
