So. Israel does think that striking hospitals is a bad thing? hmmm i couldn’t tell

He needs to be stopped

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

I really think Noem’s plans to “liberate” California from its democratically elected government with military force should not have gotten lost in the news cycle but that appears to be exactly what is happening

My president.

Live look at Detroit, Michigan. Let's go, Motor City! Even Fox's streaming channel is calling the No Kings Day rallies "massive." 🍿

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

Yes Ma’am!

Show up to the NO KINGS rallies. Be vigilant and peaceful and organized. Don't give in to terror and fear. They want you to be cowed into silence. Speak louder.

Video shows a young man carrying his dead father on a bicycle after he was shot while trying to secure food parcels at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid site in Gaza. Israeli forces have killed more than 220 Palestinians at GHF aid distribution sites since they opened.

This one is important. Share it widely. "Contrary to conventional wisdom, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests this year have dwarfed those in 2017, and they have been extraordinarily peaceful." wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer...

Israel es un Estado criminal, que ha asesinado a 231 periodistas palestinos en Gaza, desde el 7 de octubre de 2023. Al Jazeera ha publicado sus nombres para que el mundo no los olvide. #Israel no quiere que se informe del genocidio que está cometiendo. #NotATarget #FreePalestine

Gavin Newsom for the win🏆

About 123 million remain forcibly displaced as a result of conflict, violence, persecution and human rights violations.

Have national Dems, who claim to want to "win back" the working class, said anything yet about ICE injuring and arresting the head of the SEIU of California? truthout.org/articles/ice...

Not just Gaza. Not just the IDF. Families still inside

An Iranian spokesperson called the move a sign of a ‘supremacist and racist mentality’ dominating US policy.

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst cruelly saying about GOP cuts to Medicaid that will literally kill people: "Well, We all are going to die" perfectly sums up the cruelty and selfishness of MAGA. It's one of the top reasons we need to CRUSH MAGA in the 2025 and 2026 elections. My point on MSNBC today:

Greta Thunberg has spent the last 20 months condemning the Gaza genocide & is now on a flotilla headed to Gaza. Ms. Rachel has leveraged her entire platform to condemn the Gaza genocide & to humanize Palestinian children. These 2 women have more courage than all public official globally Combined.❤️

“Why did burning girls matter in Vietnam but not in Gaza?” The 'Napalm Girl' photo shocked the world and helped end the Vietnam War, writes @jehadabusalim.bsky.social for Zeteo, but a child surrounded by flames and other similar images in Gaza can't even provoke a ceasefire. Read/share/subscribe:

Respect!!! @harvard.edu 😍 The link to the FREE GOVERNMENT COURSES is ... pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...

Gaza officials says killing children has ‘become a pastime’ for Israeli soldiers.

Fatih and I wrote an article about being WOC writing partners. First collaboration :)

Everything about this is a tragedy, every level, from cheated freelancers to authors obscured to readers who don’t get served either.

He gets crazier and crazier by the day.

Wonder if speakers at today's "Salute To Israel" parade in NYC will denounce the starving and slaughter of Palestinian Christians and Muslims?! Would be great if at least one did.

😳

Georgia is forcing a brain dead Black mother to become an incubator for her 9 week old fetus, because Georgia's abortion ban forbids abortion after 6 weeks. Here is a script for you to contact the MAGA Reps who co-sponsored this abortion ban to demand its repeal www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-state-...

If watching library workers resist leads you to expect us to save you, you're taking away the wrong message. You should be viewing this as a clear indicator that YOU can and should stand up and push back, too. We need help, not acclaim.

best role so far. Robert De Niro. art and democracy at Cannes. Some rose colored glasses on inclusivity but for now we’ll take it

Do you think he’s proud that he’s so easy to bribe?

Be sick with me. i’m so sick of reductive culture troping mixed with flat out racism
