I'm exhausted with pointing it out: "With all the enthusiasm of a madman, the U.S. continues to barrel toward history’s most predictable crisis. Social Security is now expected to be insolvent in 2033, necessitating a 23% cut in benefits." www.wsj.com/opinion/soci...

Get it? Is anybody home?

“A horrible display of waste… rotting fruits and vegetables… store after store closed… if the ice raids continue be ready for even bigger sticker shock when you go grocery shopping…” 🍎 🥕

Interesting watching U.S. representatives arguing that Iran's horrible human rights violations (esp regarding women) are why regime change should be pursued while at the same time they are stripping human rights from women, lgbtq2s people, poor people, and minorities in the U.S.

If you had seen this 10 years ago, you would believe you were looking at some right-wing thugs in a banana republic disappearing someone... Instead, you are looking at a scene from a land once known as the home of the brave and the land of the free 🇺🇸 🚫⚖️🚫🗽😑💔🤦‍♂️

Jon Stewart asks: How many gun deaths is too many for the GOP?

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

And while Cruz is out here fumbling through Middle Eastern geography like he’s trying to order falafel on Duolingo, the country he’s supposed to help govern is falling apart in real time. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

🔥“Maybe you can apply to be DHS Secretary after you’re fired from this job.”🔥 Sen. Tammy Duckworth just TORCHED Hegseth for turning our military into a domestic police force instead of preparing for real threats. Let the Troops do their actual job.

Local, state, and federal law enforcement officers who cover their faces while conducting official business could face a misdemeanor charge in California under a new proposal. cnn.it/443mdTX

Sound engineers pointing out in the comments that the applause is from an indoor audience on an outdoor event💀

Happy June 14th. #NoKings

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV—a refugee himself—is mobilizing priests to accompany migrants at immigration court on June 20. (Via Christopher Hale)

It can happen here. It is happening here.

They’re doing jobs Americans refuse to do and they’re being hunted ….

If MyPillowGuy Mike Lindell loses his election rigging defamation trial in Denver, this will be the day that did it. And the witness who sealed his fate? Himself.

"An incompetent warning shot or the act of a coward, either way it needs to be properly investigated... how is it okay for your police force to be firing at unarmed Australian journalists?" Karl Stefanovic, an anchor for the Australian broadcast channel that @laurentomasi.bsky.social works for.

"U.S. job growth over the first five months of 2025 is the worst since the Great Recession. When Donald Trump says the economy is 'booming,' he’s wrong..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

Seems like today would be a good day for Barack Obama to give a fiery, inspirational speech. Or just say anything.

Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho didn't hold back when expressing his anger and "contempt" after agents with Homeland Security attempted to gain access to two elementary schools earlier this week.

New in PN: Adam Serwer on America's "new dark age" "They see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control — a docile population that can be easily manipulated." — @adamserwer.bsky.social
