NEW: Democracy is alive in Philly! Amazing scenes in Philadelphia as thousands hit the streets for the anti-Trump protest. #NoKings #50501Movement

These are the times that try men’s souls.

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics. Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

Critically important point from Juliette. The only real justification for federalizing the nat guard over a governors objection is when the civil authorities are defying the law. This is attack on the sovereign right of the people of California to self government.

This is America

Sweet sweet karma

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Rift Widens Between Elon Musk, Anyone Who Ever Met Him

Sounds like a job for “Too Late” Powell. 🤡

Fuck yes. We must protect the independence of courts at all costs.

🧵 When authoritarian leaders attack judges as "enemies," history shows us exactly where this leads. Trump's assault on "USA HATING JUDGES" isn't just inflammatory rhetoric—it's following a script written by strongmen worldwide. But other countries show us how to fight back.

Finally had the chance to listen to this after seeing the thumbnail throughout the day... There is no fucking way this guy doesn't have dementia. I've seen 3 grandparents go through it and this man sounds just like they did. He needs to go.

PA is not properly represented in the US senate. 1 senator who showed promise is now incapable of serving his constituents, and the other is absent and seemingly corrupt. PA deserves better.

Harvard correctly understands that it’s in a fight for its life and there is no appeasement that will save it. I wish a lot more institutions understood this.

RIEDL, on the House Budget: “.. [It] will cost more than the 2017 tax cuts, the pandemic CARES Act, Biden's stimulus, and the Inflation Reduction Act combined.” @yahoofinance.com 🇺🇸

Literally selling the future of the country in the middle of the night, with no regard for the wreckage left behind. Not even the bad treasury auction and higher rates are stopping Rs. We are being steered head on into financial crisis.

Trump can have inflation look good or he can see american companies profit eventually take a giant shit. He can't have it both ways.

Ah yes, the famously disliked pillar of Americana, Bruce Springsteen

Why even have a country? Hell let's go back to the original 13 colonies! Better yet, if we're sticking to originalism, lets go back to pre colonial times! Not original enough you say? How about dinosaurs? Too progressive? Amoebas! Single celled organisms! That's it!

There is no hell deep enough to contain the people involved with this

I mean come on, really? This guy 100% has some stage of alzheimers or senility

These guys so clearly want to break the system and privatize the aviation system. There's no real attempt to fix it. They are practically drooling over it.

We have a govt that’s engaged in human trafficking, that’s openly allowing a gulf petrostate to bribe its leadership, that’s reshaping the refugee program in overtly racist terms, that’s almost ended American foreign aid entirely, that’s doing its level best to crash the economy from the rose garden

If only we updated our democracy to move beyond the two party system. The founders really were right about this also - political parties, especially two party systems - are toxic. You just can't fit the diverse beliefs of a 330M+ population country into two buckets. It's asinine.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

NEW: The Trump administration is looking into suspending people’s right to challenge their incarceration in court, to carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts, White House aide Stephen Miller said Friday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEW: White House considering suspending habeas corpus, Stephen Miller says

Brave patriotic ICE officials, as always, covering their faces out of shame.

Man even the catholic church has age limits. So this means the catholic church is less conservative and more modern than the US government. God help us all!

Smells like a coup

It is glaringly obvious the country and broader markets still do not understand supply chains. This is self inflicted covid. This stuff is baked in at this point and markets don't seem to recognize it.

New from 404 Media: the Signal clone the Trump administration uses was just hacked. TeleMessage makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, Waltz used it. A hacker got some users' messages, group chats. Hugely significant breach www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

Good bye US scientific supremacy.

By handing Trump immunity, John Roberts (Harvard 1979) deserves significant blame for encouraging the President to act in an openly lawless fashion.
