Message from Senator Heinrich. Repugnant senators are sneaking in an amendment to Plump's "Big Bullshit Bill" to mandate the sale of 2 to 3 million acres of BLM and Forest service lands in the west Don't let this happen you guys, it's OUR public lands. Please harass your reps relentlessly #5Calls

TLDR: They are gaslighting. — Parsing ICE’s mixed-up, hard-to-believe assault claims wapo.st/4l7a1ch

This news will not shock anyone.

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

"We have facilities with empty wings and it's not for lack of residents — it's just for lack of staff”

Hegseth thinks he's winning this game. He is not.

[Update: As expected, this motion was granted on Wednesday.]

WE aren't free until ALL of us are free. Happy Juneteenth!!! and as always, much love to Opal Lee. Praying for a swift recovery 🫶🏽 #Juneteenth

I keep saying this, but a fundamental problem with this moment is that the two other branches are rolling over and playing dead, and the founders just did not think that people would do that! www.lawdork.com/p/trump-is-s...

DHS wants 72 hours notice before inspections of detention facilities. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

You know your country has screwed up priorities when it pretends it doesn't have the money to prevent LGBTQ teen suicides but it *does* have the funds to subsidize the wealthiest man in the world's engineering incompetence. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

So much for MAHA.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Inflation is up, prices are rising, interest rates are up, GDP is down, we are going to war with Iran, but the good news is Trump had two new flagpoles put up at the White House today.

This was an amazing day on the National Mall on the 6th.

On Juneteenth, we acknowledge slavery’s legacy on our nation’s history and recognize the resiliency, history, struggles, & achievements of Black Americans. And we must recommit ourselves to fight for equality, justice, & economic opportunity for every American, regardless of the color of their skin.

Another SPACE X explosion

We rely on game cams to capture important data on elusive species like black-footed cats. That "data" also happens to include adorable kitten play sessions 😍

“I’m coming to Boston. I’m bringing hell with me.” A month after Tom Homan's threat, he was spotted nearby visiting a Mexican restaurant. "Like a mobster," a Waltham resident described. Countless ICE sweeps have since occurred, as well as the creation of a network determined to protect neighbors.

Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

Rochester NY is ready to do a big beautiful Tesla Takedown on Elon's birthday, 6/28. How kind of him to have a birthday on a Saturday! Let's come out to "celebrate" with signs expressing how much we dislike him. @teslatakedown.com #rochester actionnetwork.org/events/tesla...

BREAKING: In recently unearthed video, former Trump Defense Secretary Mark Esper admits on tape that he was told by Trump to shoot protesters, which Pete Hegseth treated as fiction, but refused to say he'd defy the order. He WILL shoot protesters.

“This is not policy, it is punishment, and it can only result in cruel and arbitrary outcomes ... Already we are hearing stories of innocent fathers and mothers being wrongly deported, with no recourse to appeal.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Brutal.

How much does this shit cost us?

What? Why?

Immigration judges are alarmed by ICE grabbing immigrants at courthouses. By the way, immigrants can request to appear in court via Zoom. All immigration attorneys should request this. Stop allowing immigrants to be grabbed at courthouses #ImmigrationLaw m.youtube.com/watch?v=HWx9...

@tedlieu.bsky.social Congress must investigate 1) where did all of the plain clothes ICE agents come from, 2) are they being paid a bounty, and 3) when was this authorized.

It was a pleasure to have @whipkclark.bsky.social in my district as we toured hospitals and listened to the community. Thank you, Whip Clark, for your visit!

🤨

Yet another one of Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starships exploded. This one during a “routine test.” The symbolism is on point.

Capitol vigil for Melissa and Mark Hortman

I will be writing more tomorrow, but, for tonight, I send my support to all of the trans people targeted by today’s ruling. You deserve better. And, to all of the amazing trans, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming people in my life, you have taught me so much. You bring me life, and I love you.

ICE deports Florida pastor's wife even though judge issued stay of deportation order. She was denied her medication—shackled by wrist, stomach & ankles, leaving severe bruising. Daughters: "We paid everything they asked us, filled out forms, and not skipping anything.”

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

Gwynne is an excellent follow for up-to-date info out of NY.

SIXTY federal agents kitted out like they were taking on Osama Bin Laden to raid a swap meet. The ONLY people they ended up arresting were to people already going through immigration court proceedings, seemingly rearrested because ICE agents didn’t want to go home empty-handed.

Exactly! The “criminals” aren’t the ones who are being snatched by ICE or whoever those masked men are.

It's important to understand the irreparable harm argument against deploying the national guard in California. Trump is taking essential personnel away from fighting fires and drug trafficking to guard federal buildings against no one. Immigrants aren't the danger. Trump is.

Just one?

Half the Republicans for war are telling me it’s necessary because Iran might get nukes soon, which they’ve been saying for 30 years, while the other half say we have to go to war to help Israel or God will condemn us to Hell.

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity
