“This is very much connected to the rise of authoritarianism that we’ve seen across the country,” said the executive director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center. “They can’t win fairly, so they’re trying to rewrite the rules to get their way.” By @jeremykohler.bsky.social

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Just HOURS after Putin slammed the U.S. for bombing Iran, the Iranian Foreign Minister is now heading to Moscow for an emergency meeting. Trump didn’t just start a war - he may have united two of America’s greatest enemies. This is a global nightmare.

The racism is off the charts with this regime.

Gas is $3.50 a gallon, butter is $6 bucks a pound, eggs are $4 bucks a dozen, we’re at war with Iran, South African Nazis stole all our data, and ICE is throwing citizens in detention camps. But hey, at least those 3 trans kids can’t play volleyball anymore.

We were very happy to give this scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social's The Handbasket because it is important to support independent journalists who are doing the hard work at this time. Giving this story to Marisa also guarantees it will be in The Washington Post verbatim exactly 48 hours later.

🔥 She speaks for all of us. Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump.

We need courageous Democratic leadership NOW @aoc.bsky.social is vocally calling for impeachment, and all Dems in Congress need to get on board.

Incredibly well delivered truth. Netanyahu’s Israel is not biblical Israel. Two parts to this. Worth every second. Part 1

Who did this? 😂

We need more of this💥💯

AS I SAID, TRUMP WOULD GET US INTO A WAR WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL Trump was lying when he said that he hadn’t decided what to do. The ships were already moving. That fool thinks it’s over. Now America will know why a stupid man should not be president. #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited 👇🏼

Meanwhile, the federal government of the United States of America is hard at work hunting down and arresting random beloved local bagel shop managers. Neighbors and friends respond: pix11.com/news/local-n...

Kaine: "It's clear that there is no congressional authorization for Trump's war against Iran ... It's unconstitutional for a president to initiate a war like this without Congress. Every member of Congress needs to vote on this."

It’s so on brand Trump Republicans claim CA is under siege WHILE the RNC hosts its Summer Retreat…IN L.A. 🤣 Rumored to be at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel. It’s all so ridiculous. L.A…Safe enough for the RNC but not Angelenos 🤣🤷‍♀️ At least it’s not at a landscaping company this time

As someone who served in Iraq and saw up close the loss of blood and treasure over 20 years, I don’t want to be embroiled in another drawn out conflict, and neither do the American people. Read my full statement on Iran in the thread below:

Felon47 decided to bomb Iran's nuclear sites without a bi-partisan act of Congress. He briefed Republicans but not democrats. How do we run a country without the cooperation of both parties? 🤔 #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VOTEBLUE2025

#ResistanceUnited #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue To 90M people who sat out in 2024 Now the act of war. If you STILL say “I’m not into politics” and don’t protest or vote, you may live in the deep mist forever. 🙏Resist & vote to clear the mist of fascism.

Not “we have always been at war with Eastasia.” Instead: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Congrats to the beltway press. They wanted war and they got it. Now when do their kids enlist?

“War is a game played by maniacs who kill each other. Locate the man who profits by war and strip him of his profits and war will end.” ~ Woody Guthrie =============

Truth Social started experiencing global outages within minutes of Donald Trump posting details of a US military strike on Iran.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

Hmmmmmmm

History ignored by Republicans again. Just because you can bomb Iran, doesn’t mean you should. NO Weapons of Mass Destruction found in Iraq; that lie plunged us into a 20+ year war. Trump just did it again in Iran, this time knowing Iran has no nuclear bomb #NoWar www.theguardian.com/world/2004/o...

@maddow.msnbc.com commentary on the U.S. strikes on Iran “He is supposedly isolationist, He is supposedly anti-war has never been exactly right” “Since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the U.S. military has not engaged directly with Iran”

"The vulnerable parcels of land include areas adjacent to Yosemite National Park, Mount Shasta, Big Sur and Lake Tahoe..." "The land sale proposal... detailed by Sen. Mike Lee, a Republican from Utah who chairs the Energy and Natural Resources Committee..." www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

People need to be getting pissed off about this one and voicing it. This is greed. Protected public lands are something to be preserved for current and future generations. Once they are gone there is no going back. Once they crack open the door for this more greed will kick in

Warms my heart!❤️ bsky.app/profile/jess...

Me: You know the Big Ugly Bill will raise the debt ceiling by $5Trillion? MAGA: It’s all Waste, Fraud and… wut? Me: The bill adds trillions in debt & Republicans don’t want a shutdown fight next year. MAGA: Brilliant strategy! Pure genius! #KilltheBill #DontKillOurMedicaid

"Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress are questioning the move... "NPR has heard from more than 50 veterans around the country in recent weeks who say they are upset. About 80,000 vets in the US are behind on their mortgages and heading toward foreclosure..." www.npr.org/2025/06/19/n...

Why am I not surprised?

Funny how Steve Daines and Tim Sheehy say they want to protect Montana’s public lands — but now that the Senate’s considering selling them off, they’ve suddenly gone quiet. #MTSen #MTPol www.bozemandailychronicle.com/news/steve-d...

Yeah, I’m sure what Mike has in mind is to build affordable housing at those scenic vistas on federal land he wants to open up for development. That’s how he’s selling it, but we all know that they have different plans.

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

The same people who can’t stop talking about Biden’s health won’t ask Trump why this keeps happening.

It's good to have a plan ...

Dismantling CDC’s global presence risks eliminating a key layer of U.S. biodefense, write Drs. @spsaki.bsky.social and @nikkiromanik.bsky.social. One that is designed to detect and contain outbreaks before they reach U.S. shores. www.justsecurity.org/114532/disma...

We tried to warn everyone. The National Guard in California was just a test. Trump’s coming for the other 49.
