Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

BARTIROMO: How would you like to see the US respond to Iran? JONI ERNST: Well, this will be entirely up to the president ... whatever that call is that is made by President Donald Trump, I will be supportive of

The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.” No warrant. No due process. No rights. Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass. #MAGAKidnappers

“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)

Hey remember in 2017, when Donald Trump was President, and North Korea successfully tested a thermonuclear device, and in response Trump, like, decided to become best friends with Kim Jong Un?

Asked about a possible U.S. attack on Iran, Trump said: “I like to make a final decision one second before." He thinks it's a damn game show. Spin the wheel and see whether millions of people die.

I guess it's official now. The only federal court the Trump administration believes it has to obey is the Supreme Court and even then, they'll "see."

WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.” Tucker Carlson embarrasses @sentedcruz as he pushes for war with Iran

It’s just so wild that every Fox guest and host 24/7 for days has had this exact same message. Same thing they did in 2002, beating the drums of war with a single message all day, every day. Dissent will not be tolerated because war is great ratings.

This lede is the most evergreen tweet if Trump 2.0: “The White House is signaling it may soon invoke a little-known and legally untested power” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/u...

Remember this moment. Trump is reveling in the narcisisstic and sadistic thrill of threatening others with violent death. He will start to crave that feeling.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Would you look at that.

This wouldn't be happening if Trump were president.

I just love all this peace around the world and no new wars that Trump promised during the campaign. The Golden Age.

Tim Miller cuts through the noise: the MAGA response to the Minnesota assassinations is an appalling, flashing red siren. Political violence is a national emergency. We must confront the hate, deal with those who are numb to it, and choose empathy before it’s too late. @timmiller.bsky.social

Trump realizes people are turning on him, which means he will get more desperate, aggressive, extreme, and violent. These are all actions of a weak regime and weak man.

🧵I think it’s important to understand what disinformation like Sen. Mike Lee’s tweets are trying to do, psychologically/cognitively. In my disinfo class/Substack, I talk about how disinfo often uses “moral disengagement strategies” to manipulate people into accepting harmful conduct 1/

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

"I'm just beginning." If this 87-year-old veteran can fight dictator-wannabe Trump and his fascist authoritarian regime with this kind of vigor and commitment — the rest of us have ZERO excuse for not doing the same. Let's fucking go! 🙌💪👏👊🇺🇸

Things the msm are downplaying today: 1. Millions in the streets protesting 2. A U.S. senator and Elon spreading lies and conspiracy theories about a man who murdered a Democrat 3. Trump smearing Walz amid a tragedy. We don’t have a messaging problem. We have a corrupt media problem.

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. All the death and destruction we are seeing now is bc of Trump and Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

This is huge. The Trump administration wants to vastly expand the practice of shipping people to random countries they have never been to before, and are now making this part of a threat; either the countries accept taking third country nationals, or they get banned from visas.

These people are the enemy.

Anonymous - Footage of the Minnesota assassin Vance Luther Boelter, a life long registered Republican and "Christian" nationalist incel that hated women. He's 100% MAGA. #cdnpoli

MAGA terrorist Vance Boelter posed as a cop to murder MN lawmakers & wound a senator & his wife. Flyers for No Kings were found in his car - obviously to surveil or sabotage, not support. MAGA is gaslighting again. The real threat is armed Christian nationalism.

MAGA terrorist Vance Boelter is a far-right missionary who launched verbal attacks on trans folks preaching that “people don’t know what sex they are because the enemy has gotten so far into their mind and their soul.” This is what’s radicalizing killers: extremist Christian nationalism in action.

If someone tells you this charade was to celebrate the military show them this photo. Who and what do you see at the center. This propaganda shot cost millions of dollars to produce. Every element is intentional.

He can always easily do great deals that never seem to happen. Maybe in two weeks.

I promise y’all: marching in step is quite easy. Nothing difficult about it. That bad marching was intentional. I guarantee it.

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

On this "No Kings Day" I recommend a reading of.... the Declaration of Independence.... Most of us have not read it for years, and it rings true and load at this time (more so then ever. in my life) -- www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

Two things are happening. The extreme right is doubling down on terrifying violence. And a democratic coalition for life and decency is mobilizing at a massive scale. Whatever else happens in the US this weekend, the No Kings rallies show where the most powerful political energy is surging.

“You’re gonna get arrested too” he says to someone walking by wearing a KN95, then clarifies he is threatening arrest to people specifically for wearing masks (respiratory protection)

The Bridgewaters, MA singing liberty through the square.

This parade is going to drive the President bonkers. Congrats, Philly!

We need more Dans in this country

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.
