Pete Buttigieg packed a town hall in Cedar Rapids, Iowa! Love to see him working with VoteVets!

Oops.

INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology

Proud to be one of the organizers of this important demonstration. Join is in DC on June 6th.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Take a look at the harvard web site...We have our break-throughs and next generation drugs on full display! Come take a look at the new wonders of medicine! So proud to be a part of it!!! Harvard.edu

JUST IN: Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Not good. President Biden was fond of saying “we just have to remember who we are” to encourage Americans to hold fast to our core values, ideals, and common decency. Libraries and museums help us remember who we are. They’re a threat to authoritarians everywhere.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

WISCONSIN VOTE FOR JUDGE SUSAN CRAWFORD FOR THE SUPREME COURT. IF YOU’RE NOT A WISCONSIN RESIDENT PLEASE SHARE THIS POST!! THANK YOU AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! 💙

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Cory Booker

BREAKING The FDA’s top vaccine official has resigned. Dr. Peter Marks wrote this in his resignation letter about Robert Kennedy Jr.: "It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

This is what the opposition did in the Hungary Parliament when they passed the Pride ban. May we have congresspeople with an ounce of the courage.

Yep

It is utterly disgraceful that, more than 24 hours after hearing of 4 dead U.S. soldiers in Lithuania, trump still has made NO public statement about it. We know how he feels about his painting in Colorado, but not about 4 U.S. soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Remember this!

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

Pitch-perfect response to Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin from @georgetownlaw.bsky.social Dean Bill Treanor. It’s always a privilege and honor to be part of the GULC community (and to be Bill’s colleague), but *especially* today.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

I hear the nagging question you ask inside your head a few hundred times a day: "Is it me, or has a huge portion of this country lost its mind?" It isn't you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dont-gasli...

“Shoot, aim, ready.” Reckless Trump administration officials fired over 300 National Nuclear Security Administration employees, including those overseeing our nuclear arsenal. Now they’re trying to get them to come back. We have 1435 days left of this shitshow!

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is definitely one of the good ones. Today he HAMMERED Trump with a detailed list of all the prices that are going up because of Trump's trade wars. Make sure everyone sees this.
