We are starting special session right now, with the shameful act of ending healthcare access for undocumented adults. It is wrong. Healthcare is a human right.

I think it’s obvious that the resistance in LA is exactly what Stephen Miller wants, which I would normally say is a reason to be apprehensive(and caution is probably warranted) but I don’t think Miller has actually calculated this all out very well at all

A federal program to protect US cities against extreme heat has just evaporated

Just in from DC Bar - labor attorney Diane Seltzer defeats securities attorney Brad Bondi in a closely watched race with record turnout.

You know, it would be a good day for some patriotic anonymous government worker who's likely to get fired anyway to release those unredacted Epstein files.

Downtown Los Angeles Free David Huerta rally just starting. Do not fuck with the unions, folks.

I remember when Pope John Paul II toured the U.S. and drew 63,000 to Dodger’s Stadium in 1987. It can be hard to explain what a big deal the Pope is.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism. https://www.commondreams.org/news/david-huerta-arrested

Trump told reporters at the White House that the protesters in Los Angeles “are insurrectionists.” That’s false. January 6 was an insurrection, this is a protest. But by using that language, he may be laying the groundwork to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act.

The President needs to explain why he took the escalatory step of activating the Nat’l Guard. As an Army vet, I know that using the military domestically should ONLY be a last resort.

At least he kept it close.

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters have gathered outside the Justice Department in Washington, D.C. alongside Rep. Pramila Jayapal to demand the release of SEIU California President David Huerta

Several thousand people demonstrated in Paris to demand the release of the crew of the Madleen Freedom Flotilla, kidnapped by Israel.

This is a pretty important point!

Please share 🫶🏼

Shout out to the Air Force One steps. We see you doing your part.

A reminder for folks everywhere to listen to your friend Misty Quigley

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

Gutting Medicaid is an attack on the most vulnerable people in our society: children, nursing home residents, baby deliveries. Waste, fraud & abuse? No. It’s a grab to finance tax cuts for the rich. Call your Senators before it's too late. (202) 224-3121 @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Last week, Dave Portnoy pulled for a missile strike on an aid vessel to Gaza to kill Greta Thunberg. Today, @npr.org cleaned up Portnoy with a friendly interview. Good work, folks. www.npr.org/2025/06/09/n...

@repmaxinewaters.bsky.social pleads with National Guard to not use their guns, yesterday.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 A massive crowd is gathering in DC demanding that SEIU CA President David Huerta be freed. #FreeDavidEndRaids Find your event here: bit.ly/FreeDavidEnd... PASS IT ON!

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: In shocking video, Donald Trump says he supports DHS Head Tom Homan ARRESTING Gavin Newsom — WTF??? This is getting very serious very quickly. This administration’s turn toward full blown authoritarian is complete.

So much this…

Tom Homan says he was taken out of context by a reporter when he threatened to arrest Gavin Newsom. "The NBC reporter that interviewed me is very dishonest. We did a 20 minute interview and he cuts out a little clip and takes my words out of context." Jonathan Lemire: "NBC stands by its reporting"

Labor leaders including SEIU are rallying now in D.C. demanding the release of SEIU President David Huerta who has a court appearance today. “What do we want!?” “Free David!” m.youtube.com/watch?v=huSN...

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it. ☎️ 1-877-447-4487 From #veterans to #activeduty personnel.

They are creating violence where there is none because they require violence to justify tightening their grip.

👏👏👏

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Good morning, Blue Sky! "Stand For the things you know are right It s the truth that the truth makes them so uptight Stand All the things you want are real You have you to complete and there is no deal Stand. stand, stand Stand. stand, stand Stand You've been sitting much too long" (Sly Stone)

BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone. If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?

Diane Seltzer and Amanda Molina won their DC Bar races 🍾 www.dcbar.org/news-events/... ht: @kathoh.bsky.social

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

The collective silence of the former Presidents right now is unnerving.

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

BREAKING: ABC News has suspended Terry Moran for tweeting this…👇 Spread. The. Word. Far. And. Wide. 😎✨
