I would argue tx sb6 that started it all for Dobbs - not only taking away rights but creating and incentivizing bounty hunters for enforcement

Mystal: It all goes back to Dobbs. It tells everyone on that side that they’re open for business to take away, to smash, every civil right they don’t like. We’re living in the post-Dobbs era.. it’s going to take some time before the country has a moment of clarity about what’s really happened here.

CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Fighting the Oligarchy Tour is coming to Texas! Join Senator Bernie Sanders, Texas Democratic Party State Chair Scudder, Beto, & Congressman Casar in McAllen (6/20), Ft. Worth (6/22), and Amarillo (6/22). secure.actblue.com/donate/tdp_b... @texasdemocrats.bsky.social

People are not going to attend the World Cup after DHS announced they will be there suited and booted ready to provide security at the games. This is a dry run for the Olympics nobody will come to America to be met by DHS agents. www.huffpost.com/entry/fifa-c...

They're getting pretty good at that "rapid disassembly" 🤷‍♀️

Happy Juneteenth

Meanwhile..

A quote by a GOP lawmaker that really captures how anti-urban rhetoric drives all sorts of policies they push: He says the new law he championed to undermine direct democracy was about targeting "the urban elites in Oklahoma City and Tulsa." boltsmag.org/oklahoma-res...

A very huge chunk of white evangelicals believe what Ted Cruz says here. We're enjoying Tucker's skepticism and going after it (note he's jockeying for position as a right-wing influencer here) but this is very, very entrenched in the evangelical right.

"Was it really this dumb in 2003" guys they renamed french fries

Early this morning, SpaceX Starship 36 exploded during routine testing and NASA made this compilation video of it.

This isn’t true, but it ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE. They’re calling them “glambushes” and seriously, America, you can do this. Please do this.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

The Supreme Court ruled that the Equal Protection Clause does not protect everybody equally. Instead it upheld the Tennessee law that seeks to eradicate trans kids. My latest in @thenation www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The active duty soldier who was placed in on an involuntary mental health hold after speaking out about ICE abuses has been released. He was given no treatment nor diagnosis and no reason for the hold.

"The bill directs what is likely the largest single sale of national public lands in modern history to help cut taxes for the richest people in the country....all without hearings, debate or public input." wilderness.org/articles/med...

COLLINS: Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon TRUMP: I don't care what she said

I shit you not, people

An active duty service member has been sent to a mental health facility against his will after speaking out about ICE’s legal and humanitarian abuses. TikTokers took action, including writing @governor.ca.gov /

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1

"A reporter from @thecity.nyc had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, 'Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?'"

On Medicaid, at least, it appears that the Senate finance panel is recommending changes that go further than what key Senate Republicans have said publicly they’re comfortable with. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/senate-...

"serve and protect" Ppl really need to learn that cops are the HR dept of the state - they're not here to serve and protect "you"

Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Just guys in tshirts and masks and no names and no warrants and no fucks to give about the law... Put your name and face on this shit, cowards.

This seems bad www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Don Jr: "The radical transgender movement is per capita the most violent domestic terror threat if not in America, probably the entire world."

The Supreme Court ALSO took action against New York's law requiring most employer health insurance plans to cover abortion. It vacated a lower court decision upholding the law and told the court to reconsider in light of its recent decision in Catholic Charities. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

NEW: The Supreme Court takes up an important abortion-related case, asking whether a fraudulent "crisis pregnancy center" facing a civil investigation in state court can seek an order from a FEDERAL court to conceal its donors names. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

More than 200 people remain locked in prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration, without any right to trial.

He’s gonna send the troops into our cities to create violence as a pretense for shooting us to control the violence.
