On another note: two channels casually mentioned that they’re using my news briefings for their reporting. I will include a reminder to quote sources for anything used on top of the next newsletters. It’s nothing against anyone, but we need to be fair.

The so-called pro-life lobby, back to litigating in their favorite one-judge division in the Northern District of Texas to get guaranteed results.

"Construction on the White House Rose Garden is underway, and the historic garden’s green grass is now completely torn up... Trump told Fox News he planned to remodel the space with pavers, saying the grass 'doesn’t work'...” www.cnn.com/2025/06/18/p...

How about that breach?! 🔓

The observance of Juneteenth calls us to recommit ourselves to the work of equity, equality, and justice. Each June 19, and especially today in Minnesota, we are reminded of our incredible capacity to heal, hope, and emerge from our darkest moments with purpose and resolve.

The 988 Suicide and Crisis Prevention Lifeline included a service that provided specialized suicide prevention support by phone and text for LGBTQ+ kids. That's ending.

Drawn in 30 seconds #ICE #BradLander #DrawnIn30Seconds

I still think a bunch of us should bring a white van and wear masks and show up at corporate headquarters and grab white men in suits and throw them in the van. If they can do it why can’t we?🤷🏼‍♀️

SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft exploded on its test stand on Wednesday, sending a large fireball into the sky. The company had cleared personnel from around the site. wapo.st/4kUmz6G

It's odd to watch Ted Cruz & Tucker Carlson, two men who have made careers out of ignoring Jesus, trying to out-Christian each other.

President Trump signed an EO further delaying the decision on TikTok until Sep 17 2025.

Happy Thursday all you beautiful BLUE RESISTERS💙🦋 Sending L💙VE🦋

How the Tea Party mutated into MAGA. FYI: A skunk by any other name …. Both groups are fucking Nazis. @darkbrandonhere.bsky.social

It’s damned about time. I absolutely LOVE this photo!! Intelligence vs. Idiocy .... Intelligence wins, every time.

Tonight, thousands of people gathered to remember Melissa and Mark Hortman. It felt so good to be together. Minnesotans are strong - we will always come together to pray, hold each other, and remember our friends. One Minnesota. Forever.

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

"'Have we no shame?'" Judge William Young asked, in an unmistakeable echo of attorney Joseph Welch, who famously punctured Joe McCarthy’s popularity with his simple plea for decency."

GOV. ANDY BESHEAR CRITICIZES ICE RAIDS!!

“So far, the collective has successfully sent and received text messages across thirteen miles during field testing around Atlanta, Georgia with nodes powered by rechargeable batteries harvested from disposable vapes.” hell yeah!!! www.vice.com/en/article/a...

Getting tested for STIs. Good for you. Good for the community. And if you can donate to the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, it helps.

This is the dumbest timeline. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Additional morning.

Inside the scrappy network of volunteers protecting their neighbors from ICE

When we moved into this house a couple years ago, my very kind neighbor was like “oh FYI my husband is a concert cellist so if it’s ever too loud or disturbing you or anything, please just let us know.” You know what, hasn’t been a problem.

OMG YES… say that‼️ @tarasetmayer.bsky.social nails it. Honestly, we’ve been waiting for politicians to catch up to where the people are—and it’s getting damn late!

“Detained”

New in PN: Republicans want unregulated AI. What could go wrong? "If the government is forced to step aside thanks to Trump's big bill and simply puts its faith in the good sense and public-spiritedness of the Silicon Valley elite, America’s future will become even more enshittified."

Donald Trump is not willing to get involved in something where he can't lie about the outcome.

The PBS funding cuts are a blow to children who need it most. With more options than ever for kids' entertainment, producing research-backed, high-quality, non-advertising content for families—particularly those in low-resource areas—has never been more important.

Agreed!

Hope your day is a walk in the park folks. 🎶☕🎵🌞🌿🪻🌲 #HalfwayThere 🦋 #Nature 🐿️ #NoToWar 🕊️

SpaceX is short for SpaceXplode

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 🇺🇸 🚫⚖️🚫🗽😑💔🤦‍♂️

Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene have both now said that Fox News is propaganda. The right wing is tearing itself apart and I’m loving every minute of it.

On June 19, 1865, news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas. Today, we celebrate the progress our nation has made and acknowledge that the fight for equality is far from over.

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

Hurricane #Erick rapidly intensified from a tropical storm to a Category 4 hurricane in the 24 hours leading up to landfall. This is the East Pacific's 5th named storm, 2nd hurricane, and 1st major hurricane of the season... the average dates for those are July 23, July 15, and July 15. [1/2]

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Political violence claimed the life of Rep. Melissa Hortman this weekend. She was reportedly targeted for the very values she championed. It's time to confront the growing alliance between anti-abortion extremism and political violence. Read more from Jennifer Weiss-Wolf.

My absolute favorite!💙 President Obama’s expression is saying “Don’t fck with me!”
