Olivia Rodrigo addresses anti-ICE protests and deportation crisis: “I've lived in LA my whole life and I'm deeply upset about these violent deportations of my neighbors under the current administration. LA simply wouldn't exist without immigrants.”

Sabrina Carpenter encourages fans to join her in donating to the National Immigration Law Center amid anti-ICE protests.

Jenna Ortega speaks out amid anti-ICE protests and conflicts in the Middle East: “People in LA are being torn away from their everyday lives & love... Innocent civilians in Iran are caught in the middle of warfare… Palestinian cries are still being buried in every day media.”

It isn’t lost on me that the suspect in the assassination of one of the most prominent women in Minnesota politics had a target list with abortion providers and advocates. Misogyny is deadly. My heart is with the victims, their families, and everyone affected.

In a Gangster State, the dear leader wastes other people's money on military parades to broadcast his fake strength, attacks the legislative branch and destroys programs that benefit the people.

Misogyny is core to the American fascist project and feminism must be core to its opposition.

The insane far-right misinformation engine formerly known as Twitter seems to have already convinced millions of people that the Minnesota assassin - a Christian nationalist who targeted Democrats and abortion providers - is a leftist. The site should be shut down.

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

The revolution is full of 60-year-old women who love their trans kids.

I strongly oppose Israel’s attacks against Iran and Iran’s attacks against Israel. Both endanger civilians and risk all-out war. If you’re like my opponents and only condemning one side, I hope you find a spine and some moral clarity.

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

The idea that this political violence is the consequence of people on both sides cheering it on seems like a sympathetic point but just doesn’t hold up to history. In my adult life, I’ve seen people on the right do everything from kill politicians to kill regular citizens, and it’s shrugged off.

When historians look back at this moment, they will see a regime attacking the democratic process with threats and violence, and a massive display of support for democracy. What will they see when they look for its coverage in the press?

If you have to deny you are part of a hate group, you are part of a hate group.

The thing to note about Israel's war on Iran is that Palestinians in Gaza are still being murdered while hunting for food.

Israel kills 231 Palestinian journalists and an Israeli military factory in Newcastle

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Even though it's tiring, I think it's essential to consistently point out that this is illegal.

Once again, it seems to me that when a court finds the president is doing something wildly unconstitutional, it is dangerous and unhealthy that we default to “but let him keep doing it until multiple layers of review all agree.”

We need answers about what happened on Alderaan and assurances from the Empire that it won’t happen again.

History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

Last night, @bradlander.bsky.social and I exposed Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace on the debate stage. With early voting starting tomorrow, we're cross-endorsing to defeat the ex-Gov. and win a city everyone can afford. Rank Brad #2!

Uh, whose fault is this?

A man with a green card said ICE agents arrested him in #Lynn, Mass then took him to a detention facility—but first made a detour to a cemetery, where they took him out of their vehicle and beat him. #mapoli #Massachusetts

“if they can do this to a senator they can do this to anybody” they already are doing it to everybody wtf do you think weve been saying

We are 5 months into a brazenly lawless administration and the Democrats’ primary tactic for holding them accountable is to ask for Republican permission to consider the idea of future consequences

This is fascism in action. No due process, following the whims of an all powerful leader, no rule of law.

Sen. Padilla: I'm Senator Alex Padilla. (Agents talk to themselves: Padilla? Sounds Spanish. That’s reason enough! You're under arrest!) #FuckTrump

Any christians on our side, use this against your heretics...

In this regime, your name determines your fate. Donald Trump becomes president, while his distant cousin Donaldo Trumpo finds himself deported to El Salvador. #FuckTrump

This is a great piece about the human cost of trump's policies.

Oregon just passed a law stopping schools from banning books just because LGBTQ+ people wrote them www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/06/oreg...

If working hard was how you got rich and powerful, we wouldn't have ANY of the ****s who are currently in charge.

I'm just naturally going to gravitate towards the places where I receive the fewest rape threats and I really haven't thought about it much beyond that

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

The High Court has just given judgment in @goodlawproject.bsky.social's favour dismissing the application made by the EHRC's landlord for an injunction to criminalise protests at the EHRC offices (and which the EHRC encouraged its landlord to obtain). caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewhc/kb/2025...

some right-winger looked up a jacket I was wearing and is mad that it was expensive when it was for sale in like 2014 and I really don't know how to explain the concept of thrifting to them

This looks like the most unsurprising chart I've ever seen, but if you only read British media you'd lose your mind learning that this is the reality of it

If you are dumb or naive enough to believe the grifters on the right who tell you they’re oppose to immigration because it drives down wages for native-born workers, just ask them 1) if they support raising the minimum wage and 2) how come the GOP doesn’t? Go ahead.

Springsteen is giving pro-America, anti-authoritarian speeches and right wing media is portraying him as anti-American. Which is pretty revealing.

If anyone thinks ‘the daily mail aren’t that bad’ please take a look at the horrible nonsense they’re saying about Greta Thunberg right now. Grotesque.
