Our 1787 Constitution became law 237 yrs ago today when NH ratified it June 21, 1788, because Article VII made that new Constitution binding in all 13 states once the 9th ratified it, superseding Article XIII of the Articles of Confederation, which had impossibly required unanimity for every change.

Yes!!!

Significantly disordered personality.

This is totally legit and fine. 😳

Fact:

Nope. Don’t fall for the “I know a guy who voted for Trump who was deported.” Plenty of US citizens who voted for Trump know someone who was deported. That could be true. But Undocumented people are not voting. That’s been debunked over and over.

Can we get a little more attention to this story please? WH Personnel Chief "Gor, 38, is reportedly from Malta. However, an official there could not confirm his birthplace, and Gor declined to provide it to the Post besides to say it was not Russia" www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-vetti...

We can disagree over immigration policy. But we should all be able to agree that immigrants should be treated like human beings and not demonized for seeking a better life for themselves and their families.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.  It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

When you’re just grabbing brown people

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

WTAF??

"Two weeks" is Trump's standard time frame for every decision he doesn't want to make (including his demand that Putin give him an answer on Ukraine) www.axios.com/2017/12/15/t...

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

Clearly, your first thought when you see another Elon rocket blowing up is, "Does that guy have any robot taxis I can put my kids in?"

The ban on gender affirming care for trans kids that the Court upheld as constitutional today in Skrmetti is so obviously *un*constitutional that John Roberts basically just writes 20something pages of buffoonery ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/skrme...

Yup.

My God. 😳 When is someone gonna pull out the big hook and pull this lunatic off the stage?

Both Bibi and Trump are making Russia great again!

If the immigrants were white, they would be treated like human beings by white Conservative Americans. There would be compassion and kindness. There would be creativity in seeking solutions. There would be no lazy stereotypes or racial slurs. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-right-...

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Found the fraud and waste:

The Asshole-in-Chief.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks 🛑 STOP the SAVE ACT. Make those phone 📞 calls to your Senators and tell them to vote AGAINST this bill. STOP voter suppression‼️

When they can pretend the violence came from the left, they insist all Democrats are responsible and ideology is to blame. When there's no denying the violence came from the right, though, they back off and pretend ideology had nothing to do with it. Certainly not anything *they* said.

Now that the Minnesota shooter has been caught and it is an indisputable fact that he is a MAGA pro-life psychopath, I am sure all the people who lied and said he was a democrat will apologize and correct themselves.

Trump is in a foreign country today trashing American Democrats, trashing American cities, and advocating for Putin. In other words, nothing has changed from his previous trips.

Eric Trump: "Eventually all the phones can be built in the USA." (so Trump phones are not actually being built in the USA lol ... )

The two parties are not the same.

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. All the death and destruction we are seeing now is bc of Trump and Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

#DACA Dreamers are home. The deferred nature of the status was to allow Congress to get their shit together to pass a path to citizenship. Do it now. #HomeisHere

The political assassinations in MN = domestic terrorism. A reminder that the guy now running the DHS division responsible for combating domestic terror & targeted attacks is a 22 yr old with no federal experience, and whose last job was his own lawn mowing biz. Dems should now be screaming this.

Isn’t this song about how unfair it is that wealthy people could dodge the draft

Chicago #NoKings protest and march today was amazing! All ages. Creative signs. Supportive el conductors overhead. 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

What’s happening in NJ? “Four detainees at Newark facility have escaped” Here’s what they’re not telling us: People held at Delaney Hall Detention Center went nearly 24 hours without food or adequate water. When they were finally fed, all they received were a couple slices of bread.

Infuriating. Deporting him is a death sentence now that the Taliban is back in charge there.

Magas will love hearing this: Obama ended Iran’s nuclear capabilities peacefully during his terms as POTUS. Because he was competent and not a traitor. Trump scrapped the agreement in 2018. This entire thing is on the usurper. It’s trump’s fault. #ETTD

"Putting out a fire you purposely start – doesn't make you a firefighter – it makes you an arsonist with a hose." Jimmy Kimmel

Trump ended the Iran deal in 2018

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Coyote pups at Graceland Cemetery!

Pope Leo's sold-out June 14 event to be streamed by NBC. Click here to see live address by the first American pope. Live feed, NBC Chicago, 2:30 PM CDT Let's get those ratings up! Before heading out to protest, set TVs to the pope & not the convicted felon's parade.⚜️😊 #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Changes are coming….in 2 weeks?
