🧵:

Trump privately approved attack plans for Iran pending final order, WSJ reports reut.rs/3HGQy3h

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

He is really bent on war!

😅🤣

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

It is time for a new generation of leadership in America, and I am ready to offer that leadership as the next Representative of Alabama’s 5th Congressional District.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

The man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers, killing one of them, has been taken into custody, a law enforcement official said

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

Sen. Alex Padilla has led a letter — signed by every Senate Democrat — demanding Trump "immediately withdraw all military personnel that have been deployed to Los Angeles." "Respect for our constitution and for our civilian law enforcement demands nothing less." tinyurl.com/3f4kcvfx

More than 5 million people took part in "No Kings" demonstrations in over 2,100 cities and towns across the country, with an additional 300 "Kick Out the Clowns" rallies being held. Philadelphia saw more than 100,000 attendees and Chicago 75,000. www.axios.com/2025/06/14/n...

Narcissist

It most certainly is!

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean… Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

"This is what you get when you order your 79th birthday celebration from Temu, but didn't pay the tariffs."

just watched this netflix documentary on the oklahoma city bombing and once again i'm struck by how so many of the popular media takes on this event just avoid entirely the connection to organized white supremacism

Born in 1975, I represent the one generation of women who had rights. I’m fighting for my daughters and granddaughters. Fuck this shit.

@jim674.bsky.social how are you celebrating your birthday month?

Marines deployed to Los Angeles temporarily detained a civilian, the U.S. military confirmed

Flag: LOS ANGELES (AP) - Military commander says about 200 Marines have moved into Los Angeles and will protect federal property and personnel.

Has ICE detained a white elected official?

Good

Sen. Alex Padilla: "If this is how this DHS responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

So ICE is now more powerful than a sitting US senator? I hope every democrat congressperson stands up for their colleague and demands accountability for what happened to Alex Padilla. They won’t but I wish they would.

@somethingaboutcozi.bsky.social beautiful body

ICE is not enforcing the law. It is breaking it. No warrant. No permission. No legal cause. A citizen was physically attacked and arrested while trying to protect her body and her baby. That is not acceptable under any standard. #AbolishICE #JusticeNow #EndICETerrorists

This is illegal. This is illegal. Did I mention this is illegal?

You're not gonna believe this... #Resist #NoKings

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.
