It’s heartbreaking to watch a nation that once inspired the world now struggles to hold itself together. This isn’t the America we believed in! As a neighbor, it’s painful to watch the fire spread from a home we once admired. The #DefendersOfDemocracy stands with our American brothers and sisters!

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

What's the probability that Trump and his minions use the "threat of sleeper cells" to increase ICE raids and deployment of DHS? Particularly amongst the Muslim pop. And many Americans will support this, as this will be vigorously supported by Fox etc

UPDATE: Iran has just voted to close the Strait of Hormuz. (Higher prices on everything loading) nypost.com/2025/06/22/w...

High-res satellite images show Fordow nuclear site after GBU-57A/B bomb strikes. Reports suggest a US bomb likely hit "centrifuge halls" at the Iranian Fordow facility.

Iranian parliament voted to close the Strait of Hormuz. Final decision needs approval from the National Security Council.

“It is worth having these second order discussions. Tonight, honestly, was about tactics and now we have to think about strategy. I’ll start with the Straits of Hormuz.” @cnn.com

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

Instead of high-profile battles waged in key states, we’ve seen a handful of mostly smaller red states — many of which already weren’t making things easy for voters — pass laws imposing new restrictions, and largely escaping serious media scrutiny. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/red...

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

What an obscenely terrible headline. I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted. The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

If only we had warned folks before the election that the real plan wasn’t border security…it was mass deportation in the interior, federalizing the National Guard, ripping people out of homes, families, jobs, and schools. Oh wait…we did. This segment with the author of 2025 aired one year ago.

Yesterday, Donald Trump said that the U.S. has "too many non-working holidays." Our so-called "pro-worker president" thinks that workers should have fewer days off. Meanwhile, he's spending a huge chunk of his presidency (and taxpayer dollars) on the golf course. Hello?

“Job Garcia, a doctoral student, was picking up an order at Home Depot. He texted his brother Elias Garcia: ‘Hey Elias me agarro ICE,’ it read. ICE got me. “Elias has not been able to talk to his brother to find out why he was arrested. “Job is a U.S. citizen.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

The Supreme Court's bias toward corporate interests is persistent, pervasive, and exhaustively documented. But it is still extraordinary to hear a sitting justice bluntly call it out and castigate her colleagues for consistently twisting the rules in favor of big business. slate.com/news-and-pol...

It is true that sometimes New York City is frightening. For example today these men were loitering in the hallway of the 12th floor of the federal building.
