Carville endorsed Cuomo for Mayor. If you’re a Democrat, you should be mad at these guys. How is the party you’ve voted in to make things better when they are propping up the worst people? The people who are blocking the progress we all want?

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

Does Tulsi Gabbard have no self-respect? Why has she not resigned yet? She is being publicly and repeatedly thrown under the bus by her boss, the (lying) president?

The EU review found that Israel breached human rights in Gaza, and hence is in violation of the Association Agreement. Foreign Ministers meet Monday, and you'd expect sanctions to be on the table (suspension of elements of the association). I doubt it 1/ www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

CBP is holding children in harsh, jail-like conditions for prolonged periods of time. One toddler was separated from her father and held with her mother at a border facility for 42 days. Children belong with their families at home — not in detention.

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

ENTEN: “.. Polling shows that Trump's lost the political battle over the LA protests, even as immigration had been his best issue.” @cnn.com

Have written up some of my thoughts about the increasingly sinister use of 'non-UK born' and 'white British' in the British press. The obsession with 'white British' citizens over other British citizens harms all of us and needs to be called out. benansell.substack.com/p/who-counts

“.. the overlapping timeline of that decision with his meetings with Senate staff and the White House Counsel’s Office has not previously been reported.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

"It's not really about the girl, it's not really about abuse. It's not really about a sense of what the victims are going through, that is a pretext." Why anti-migrant riots in Northern Ireland are the result of online radicalisation and racism

No-one lost more than £300 a year due to Labour’s changes to Winter Fuel Allowance. Labour’s changes to disability benefit could cost some households *more than £10,000 a year* – and the plans tabled this week do nothing to fix that. It’s no wonder campaigners are raising alarms with MPs.

"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...” www.bet.com/article/6rdn...

Israeli attacks on hungry Palestinians near aid centres have killed hundreds of people since the US- and Israeli-backed, and contractor-run, Gaza Humanitarian Foundation started distributions on May 27. These ignore basic principles of humanitarian practice and expose people to more risk.

This would be why the Senate has the power to advise & consent on presidential nominations www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Not surprising that a bill taking away health care and raising grocery costs for millions to give tax breaks to the wealthy is unpopular. Americans see it for what it is: a Big Beautiful Betrayal.

BREAKING: A judge has ordered the RELEASE of Mahmoud Khalil

Rupert Lowe now has a competitor - David Frost - in who can recommend the most overtly racist Twitter accounts, as a recommendation of where to get explanations of racist memes

Good that Politico Westminster playbook will look at whether the boundary between mainstream politics and online racism is maintained or dissolved www.politico.eu/newsletter/l...

You can see the ICE agents in their minivans then the LAPD cars in the back appearing to block the Dodger Stadium parking lot entrance. When I asked an LAPD officer if they are blocking ICE from entering the parking lot she said “put it this way. The Dodgers don’t want them coming in.”

“If Trump Cares About Fighting Antisemitism, Why Did He Pardon These Jan. 6 Insurrectionists?” Some praised Hitler. One wore an ‘Auschwitz’ hoodie. Another gave a Nazi salute. The MAGA insurrection was a festival of antisemitism.

The NYT decided to kick trans people in the teeth the day after Skrmetti. They wrote a hit piece blaming trans people for their own oppression and attacked the people who have fought hardest to stop this effort to eradicate us. They turned to Brianna Wu to further their narrative.

The Supreme Court is on the brink of effectively banning the book Pride Puppy from public schools but IT CAN’T BAN MY PRIDE PUPPY🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

Trump officially issues another "What's a law, really?" TikTok executive order — ignoring the single-delay limit in the law, let alone the conditions required for that delay.

"Lander — literally and aesthetically the city’s accountant — assaulted the officers in the sense that a bully might accuse you of having gotten in the way of his fist." @PBump.com‬, finding the words, scrutinizes those ICE assault claims. 🎁 🔗 wapo.st/4l7a1ch

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states
