NEW FROM CBO: brutal distributional analysis of House GOP "Big Beautiful Bill" On avg the bottom 30% of households get poorer under the GOP bill Avg gets little - and are worse off if you include tariffs This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

12 June 1929 | A German Jewish girl, Anne Frank, was born in Frankfurt. In 1942 on her 13th birthday she received an empty diary. She perished in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. 'Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character & goodness.' (A.Frank)

It will never cease to amaze me how people will talk over disabled folks, tell us we’re wrong, infantilize us etc… and yet they can’t realize that in refusing to believe us and give us agency they’re almost always proving our point. We aren’t listened to. We aren’t believed. Ableism is everywhere

Gassing children. Wearing masks and gear that can be bought on Amazon... How do any of us know if they're even real law enforcement?

For posting a newsletter about nonviolence. Meanwhile, every account I have reported that calls for violence against protesters, or suggests that LGBTQ+ folks should be killed to protect kids, “does not violate our community standards.”

Think about this. RIP tourism. Nobody will come here, and who can blame them? But that's not all: If non-US citizens have to carry proof of legal status, then eventually so will US citizens. We will need to carry papers. RIP America.

It's always fascinating to me, the moral flexibility of moral absolutists. I mean, this guy could lick his own asshole.

Ignore the bot accounts so much propaganda is being spread. Watch for the signs: no photos, no friends, account created last week. They’re everywhere, and we’re clearing out thousands every day.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

"There have been more than 30 incidents of police violence against journalists as of Tuesday, including 20 injuries, at least five of which required emergency room or urgent care visits..."

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Late to the party, @cnn.com , but welcome.

None of these guys are in proper uniforms. How is the target here supposed to assume this Sicario bullshit is actually the cops?

DELBENE: Do you support the govt having a consolidated database containing Americans' sensitive financial health and personal information? BESSENT: I support protecting Americans-- DELBENE: I think it's very concerning that you're not able to say no

Reminder that President Carter sold his family's peanut farm to avoid even the appearance of conflict of interest.

TikTok moms are starting to dominate the deportation narrative. This lady is powerful.

This happened live on the show today. Independent journalist Jorge Ramos caught up with a pregnant U.S. citizen who told us she was roughed up and arrested by federal agents during a detainment near Los Angeles. Watch!

People will do this as a tool against you. My 'family' called the cops for a wellness check because I refused to be manipulated by them. They knew I was mid flare, they knew the stress would make it worse, they knew my house would be in a terrible state. They weaponized it. Don't do that.

Tiananmen square.

I just watched a video of police shooting a protester in the head with a rubber bullet… and then refusing to call 911 because “this was your fault” Classic abuser move. Cause the problem & then blame the victim. Who are they really protecting & serving???

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

A U.S. citizen who is nine months pregnant was hospitalized upon her release from immigration custody after she was detained by federal agents in Hawthorne on Sunday. www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/i...

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

Keep the cameras rolling. Don't look away. Recognize what this is. We have seen it before.

Warning: disturbing

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

Oh great, a Hatch Act violation and ignorance about California term limiting governors, all in one!

A reminder, because apparently that’s needed today: tarring and feathering is an act of physical violence against someone. During the Revolutionary era, it was employed specifically as an act of terror to intimidate officials, merchants, and others who opposed the Sons of Liberty.

So noted: #abcnews is not interested in the truth. Will be consulting news sources *other than* #abcnews.

The gaslighting is that they are "not under arrest" when they are clearly bound and not free to leave.

Maybe the #olympics needs to reconsider their location...I hear Canada is nice that time of year?

Can a producer for @lauracoates.com @cnn.com @cnn-news.bsky.social get in touch with me ASAP? Your guests are factually wrong on the law in California and this is dangerous. Press exempt from arrest per CA Penal Code 409.7. I negotiated language of the law. You need to correct this ASAP.

ICE started raiding the hotel they were staying in - interrogating cleaning ladies Good luck housing ICE agents in Los Angeles now

ICE targets immigrants. RFK Jr targets the disabled, elderly & vulnerable. The whole regime targets marginalized people, those living in poverty and LGBTQ+ individuals. They’re targeting everyone who they’ve deemed “less than”. Everyone is expendable under fascism. It comes for all eventually.

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

#ProudBlue This is what is happening in LA right now. We don’t need help. We don’t want the Marines or National Guard. Our city & state are fine!!! GET OUT! @jesscraven101.bsky.social video credit
