The Supreme Court's sixth AND FINAL decision of the day is AJT v. Osseo Area Schools. It is a good, unanimous win for disabled children, written by the chief justice! But it is perhaps not the big decision you were hoping for today. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Day 7 of this madness. Their squads blazing sirens, the helicopters over head up and down the 101-free...no protest needed for psychological terrorism.

“I just called some buddies in the administration,” Mr. Loudon said. “And I’ve never seen anything happen so quick.”

HEY! HAVE YOU CALLED YOUR SENATORS TODAY ABOUT THE BBB TELLING THEM TO OPPOSE IT? Here is ANOTHER good reason to CALL NOW. ⬇️ PRESSURE them until they POP! As a citizen, it's your JOB!

Walz, Hochul, Pritzker to criticize immigration enforcement in House hearing www.usatoday.com/story/news/p... via @usatoday

THIS IS TERRORISM. Not "rule of law". Not "policy". TERRORISM.

When produce prices skyrocket, you know who to blame. ICE expands immigration raids into California’s agricultural heartland www.latimes.com/california/s...

UPDATE: Sounds like Trump’s rich farming and hotel buddies told him to stop his Gestapo from attacking innocent, hard to replace workers

President Trump is sending tanks rolling through the streets of the capital not to honor service, but to celebrate power, @eliotacohen.bsky.social writes:

Health care across the country is in DANGER. If Planned Parenthood is “defunded,” nearly 200 health centers could close, and more than 1.1M patients could lose access to care. Join us to say: I’m for Planned Parenthood and will do all I can to protect our bodies, our lives, our futures. #ImForPP

Nothing says “welcome tourists” like customs and border patrol announcing they’ll be running security for the Club World Cup… #FIFA #ClubWorldCup

Watching this hearing and listening to Congressman Smith's opening remarks I can see, in my head (altho they haven't shown him yet), Sec. Hegseth's eyes glaze over. *me standing in real life* 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Thank you, Congressman, for the most excellent opening remarks. Spot on!

" ... is investment in bots and abortion telehealth initiatives post-Dobbs fundamentally at odds with abortion access for all?" really appreciate this thoughtful deep-dive into ~ abortion tech ~ in @prismreports.org

There was no situation in Los Angeles that was not being handled by the local police. President Trump wanted to expand his power. I joined Meet the Press Now to discuss the protests in LA, the deployment of the U.S. military, and Trump's military parade.

Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... IF YOU ARE IN THE GUARD or Military, you can file for conscientious objector status. You do not have to follow illegal or unconstitutional orders!

"Work requirements for basic needs programs ignore the reality of low-wage work." "Research shows that children who grow up with stable food, housing, and health care access grow up to get more education, be healthier, and work and earn more.” www.theregreview.org/2025/06/09/a...

NEW: David Hogg is leaving his position as DNC vice chair after the party voted to redo the role's election. As Hogg recently told us, many have been frustrated with his plan to oust what he called "asleep at the wheel" incumbents.

The CEO of the Hispanic Construction Council says removing construction laborers who don't have legal status would put homebuilding projects and critical infrastructure at risk.

Trump trying to distract from bad economic data released today. As CNBC reports: "Continuing jobless claims of 1.96 million are at the highest level since November 2021." Yes the worst since Nov 2021 during Covid. And it will get worse under Trump's failed economic policies.

More violence incitement by Republicans. A good example of how citizen-perpetrated violence is often used *in combo* w/ state violence & legal oppression when useful, to do what the state can’t for legal reasons or won’t for PR reasons. But the state usually doesn’t explicitly say it like here.

"Let them die" has been a Republican mantra for quite a few years for people with cancer, women facing life-threatening pregnancy or miscarriage, and anyone who isn't a billionaire.

She served the American people for 35 years. Now her retirement income is on the line because of Trump's Social Security cuts: www.npr.org/2025/06/12/n...

Now we can finally get those jobs at the Home Depot parking lot. My son was just laid off as a programmer because of AI. But I told him, don't worry, just go to Home Depot and get a stellar job because Trump eliminated competition from immigrants. As Trump warned us, I'm so sick of winning.

He’s whoring out American citizenship…

Why accountability matters: “Civilians have impersonated ICE agents while committing robbery (Pennsylvania), kidnappings (Florida, South Carolina), sexual assault (North Carolina) and other forms of public intimidation (Washington state, California). Opinion”

@clpaxx.bsky.social Mike Johnson Claims That God Prepared Him to Be a “New Moses” Is this what God had in mind??⬇️

These weirdos don't want US History taught at all. It wasn't only about white Confederates. It's about slavery, Civil War, racism, women's suffrage and women's rights, LGBTQ rights, and the idea of becoming a more perfect union, not a white male supremacist shithole.

Gov. Gavin Newsom tells Fox LA that Trump has "lost it."   "This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago, and he's incapable of even a train of thought. He's making things up."

This isn't about DEI. This is about Convicted Felon Donald Trump's blatant racism. He wants the United States to be the model of White supremacy. Republicans must agree, since none of them are trying to stop him. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FuckTrump eedition.timesunion.com/infinity/art...

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽 I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️

Thank you to all the women that put on the uniform and served this country.

THIS. People blaming migrants, old people on Social Security, poor people on SNAP, Medicaid etc, need to get a clue. THE DAMN BILLIONAIRES ARE THE PROBLEM. ⬇️😡

The lack of total outrage at the indictment of Congresswoman McIvey is truly frightening. Hakeem Jeffries ought to be causing high holy hell over this. She is indicted because she is Black. Half of the GOP caucus engaged in sedition and Garland felt arresting a member of congress went too far.
