Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

Diplomacy and leadership 👇👇👇👇👇

💔

@bradlander.bsky.social: "Donald Trump is coming to strike fear into immigrant families and just fear into cities. He's coming for LA, he's coming for New York, he's coming for other cities. And he's trying to both stoke fear and provoke conflict."

Schatz: People are seeing what chaos really looks like. We are on the brink of some very dangerous developments in the Middle East, and we have chaos inside the US—not chaos the federal government can’t control, but chaos the federal government is, in some instances, precipitating or making worse.

Just one more first on a list that is already too long

Things continue to go great. (Killer scoop from @telliotter.bsky.social @leahfeiger.bsky.social for @wired.com) www.wired.com/story/far-ri...

A CONTROVERSIAL “APPEAL to Heaven” flag that has recently become associated with the “Stop the Steal” movement and Christian nationalism was flown above the Small Business Administration (SBA) agency last week in Washington, DC.

Again: Bibi has been saying this for 30 years

Just pure unadulterated racism on Fox:

Honda R&D, a subsidiary of Honda Motor Company on Tuesday, June 17th conducted a launch and landing test of an experimental reusable rocket developed independently by Honda. The test was completed successfully, the first time Honda landed a rocket after reaching an altitude of 300 meters.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

Carney winking & Macron trying not to laugh. Priceless!

💔These parents waited all day, hoping against hope. Their son's body was found in the rubble. He didn't survive. My heart breaks for these mom and dad. Russia killed their child. Deepest condolences.

Quitting the Today programme and Twitter at basically the same time has really changed my relationship with the news. I quite often do not know the main story at a given moment, something which was previously unthinkable. But, as a result, my knowledge base is much broader.

Surprise: ICE GETS PAY RAISE The “Big, Beautiful Bill” Takes From the Poor and Gives to ICE According to one analysis, the legislation “would make all but the top 20% of households worse off.” #MOG8 www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

The destruction you are seeing in Ukraine, Gaza, and Tehran is all Trump’s fault. Either through malice or incompetence.

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) Mayor Ras Baraka (D-Newark) Judge Hannah Dugan (WI) Controller Brad Lander (D-NYC) This is not normal. This is not okay. We cannot let them convince us that this is normal or okay.

And we're being called criminals and animals

Breaking tonight:

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

L.A. police pushed down a journalist helping an injured man and broke his camera

It’s time to unmask ICE!!! #UnmaskIce Full video on Substack (free for anyone to watch)

He's going to war with Iran. He's putting pressure on his political enemies, arresting some The media has sold itself out to him and pretty much repeats the talking lines ok'd by the White House He disappears people in unmarked vans.

Gov Gavin Newsom’s TikTok page is 🔥

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

Governor Tim Walz, "The way our nation moves forward is not through hate. It is not through violence. It is through humility, and grace, and compassion.

Why should we believe these men are actually ICE agents and not J6 criminals, thugs, or human traffickers? I want to hear directly from immigrants and citizens who were taken by people like this, hauled off in unmarked cars by masked men with no ID…

🤣

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

"The People United, Will Never Be Defeated!" chant crowds as they welcome Mayoral Candidate Brad Lander after he was released from ICE custody with charges dismissed.

While she won't get into specifics about what was discussed, Senator Amy Klobuchar confirmed that both she and Senator Tina Smith were able to convince Senator Mike Lee (UT) to take down his reprehensible tweet mocking the politically motivated murders in Minnesota.

All Americans should be concerned with the targeted assassinations of elected officials. In a democracy, we settle our political differences at the ballot box. Violence is never acceptable.

A Black woman in a wheelchair found herself trapped among protesters. A line cook heading home feom work was caught in a cloud of tear gas, and an unhoused woman sitting on a bench was grabbed and shoved towards protesters. Read the full report by @shoton35mm.bsky.social lataco.com/homeless-get...

North Korea out there calling balls and strikes.

👇🤔☮️💙✌🏼🌊🐕‍🦺

The biggest haters of humanity on earth.

Senator Klobuchar calls it what it is: a big, beautiful betrayal. This bill gives $400,000 tax breaks to millionaires while kicking 16 million people off their health care. Working families lose care so the wealthy can get richer. #HandsOffMedicaid

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.

I’m sorry guys, but I can’t stop laughing at these parade videos.

Amazing.

That’s exactly what this is about. Distraction. For all of this and that lame duck, low energy spectacle

Fox News host Will Cain: "The 'No Secret Police Act' would ban local, state, and federal law enforcement from covering their faces when interacting with the public. Officers would also have to wear identifying information on them, like name tags. Hard to believe this is real!"
