Nuts nuts nuts

Gender affirming care recipient is happy with the results.

Thread.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

🧵. We can't and shouldn't tolerate any of this. Also, this is another great reason to have end to end encrypted social tools rather than public-first. Surveillance has a real chilling effect on free speech - and they are watching.

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

The man suspected of shooting two Democratic state lawmakers in Minnesota early on Saturday had served on a state board with one of the victims, records show.

HONESTY. INTEGRITY. DECENCY. #June14th-ObamaAppreciationDay

The greatest con Trump ever pulled was convincing millions of rubes that he cares about them.

Are we great again?

TODAY 6/14/25, we peacefully make our voices heard... NO KINGS!* 🇺🇸 *Also NO: CONVICTED FELONS/PATHOLOGICAL LIARS/DRAFT DODGERS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS/SHORT-FINGERED VULGARIANS/MALIGNANT NARCISSISTS & ANYONE WHO INCITED AN INSURRECTION IN AN ATTEMPTED COUP AGAINST HIS OWN COUNTRY a/k/a TRAITORS ✊

Important thread by an outstanding mind and expert in this. Will add a couple of things: 1. I suspect that the Marines were told that detaining civilians was allowable. Need clarification on what their operating instructions are. 1/

Somehow, this makes me think of the movie Red Dawn. Except here, it's our military on American streets.

OMG. According to two members of Congress that just conducted an inspection and confirmed horrible conditions at the ICE detention center where unrest led to 4 people escaping, apparently people were able to escape because an EXTERIOR WALL was made of drywall and wire mesh!

The House voted on Thursday to claw back $9.4 billion that lawmakers had already approved for foreign aid and public broadcasting, as Republicans banded together to codify spending cuts put forward by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.

Today, Brett Kavanaugh signaled his belief that huge portions of federal disability rights law may be unconstitutional. It’s the latest evidence that Kavanaugh is sliding ever further into the hard-right Thomas-Alito flank of the court. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This person is now suddenly against political theater.

Sen. Coons: "I am shaken. I am angry. And I am gravely concerned about our path forward in this body and our nation. Democracy is a gift hard won and hard earned...What is happening?"

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth refuses to say that he will abide by a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court:

An absolute disgrace. This is what this fascist regime thinks is the right way to run our beloved country.

What’s next, brown shirts? What do Republican colleagues have to say? At long last, colleagues, have you no sense of decency?

What happened to Senator Padilla in California today is outrageous. Senator Padilla is a respected leader of great dignity and he has every right to ask a question of Secretary Noem without being slammed down and handcuffed.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Zero notes

Rep. Crow: "We're different from our adversary. Would you agree?" Hegseth: "We are not the enemy." Rep. Crow: "We have different morals and values than our enemy...Making us equivalent, doing the same things that ISIS and al-Qaeda do, how can you possibly reconcile that?"

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

Laura Ingraham encouraged Trump to use the Insurrection Act. Daily Wire host Matt Walsh said Trump should use “overwhelming force.” Sean Hannity and Steve Bannon have called for arrests of Democratic officials. The Daily Caller blamed a “Pro-Chinese Communist Millionaire” for funding the protests.

Moulton: "The Houthi operation, how much money did it cost?" Hegseth: "Well..." Moulton: "I'm told it's several hundred million dollars...How many U.S. flagged commercial vessels have transmitted the Red Sea?" Hegseth: "Would you put civilian ships through?" Moulton: "The answer is zero."

Moulton: "You texted the launch time for F-18s going into combat over enemy territory facing anti-aircraft missiles on an unclassified Signal chat...Was it classified?" Hegseth: "What's not classified is it was an incredibly successful mission." Moulton: "So it was classified."

Warren to Bessent: "The only people who are saying publicly that it's not gonna add to the national debt are you, Donald Trump, the Republican in Congress. Do you have an independent group that has put forward numbers that disagrees with all of these conservatives groups & the Wall Street Journal?"

Maybe this poster is just sleep deprived, but this made me tear up. 😢 Former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) staff—who monitor weather, oceans, and climate—were illegally fired by the Trump admin. They speak on what the American public lost and what they could still give.
