@bradlander.bsky.social: "I was in a DHS detention for about 3.5 hours... I'm going to sleep at home in my bed tonight, safe with my family. But at Edgardo, who I was trying to accompany, he is in ICE detention. God knows where he's going to sleep tonight. And who knows what state."

CNBC: “You’ve been accused of being partisan.” CBO DIRECTOR: “I am a Republican.” Republicans dismiss the CBO saying #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer cuts health care and food the poor… and taxes for the rich — but it is led by one of their own. 🤔

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.” In August, Nassau County lawmakers passed a bill banning the public from wearing masks. Protesters showed up today masked anyway. We asked them why.

Me too, sister. Me too. #NoKings

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

If "Resisting Bitch Face" isn't an instant winner, I don't know what is. #photography #resist #NoKings #Albuquerque

The Georgia Supreme Court struck down four voter suppression policies from the State Elections Board, ruling that the Board exceeded its authority when it passed the rules. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Third Actors turned out for #NoKingsDay all across Maryland, incl. serving as safety marshals and co-organizers for a combined #TeslaTakedown and #NoKingsOnThePike rally. 5,000 people lined a nearly 2-mile stretch of Rockville Pike in Rockville. @thirdactorg.bsky.social #Democracy #NoKings

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

President Trump's move to involve the military in the LA protests, some historians say, harks back to when Ohio’s Republican governor summoned the National Guard to deal with students demonstrating against the Vietnam War at Kent State ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/13/w...

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Please subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

200 plus in Haines/Deishu, Alaska.. a community of 2000.. moment of silence, MC, music, skits, puppet show, and heartfelt sharing of concerns and messages.. 6-14-25 #NoKings

NEW: He didn’t like Pelosi. He didn’t like Tim Walz. He didn’t like Joe Biden. He DID like Alex Jones. He DID vote for Trump. He would be offended if anyone thought he was a democrat. wapo.st/45UNM4e

Yes, Trump’s Tariffs are hurting 🇺🇸 manufacturing — according to Manufacturers themselves

Another perfect sign from Chicago.

Amplify Yvette Hoffman’s heroics, not Trump’s incitement. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Good, ‘cause repetition is required for a sustained movement, folks #NoKingsWhat’sNext 👇👇👇

Top Trump advisers like Dan Scavino, a deputy chief of staff, and Sergio Gor, the director of the presidential personnel office, reported making more than $1 million each from media-related ventures linked to Mr. Trump.

If passed, the SAVE Act would limit access to our democracy for millions of eligible voters. The House has already passed it, but the Senate can still stop it in its tracks. Tell your Senator to REJECT this bill in defense of our voting rights.

Not every feather shows until the wind hits just right.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump cites false claims about noncitizen voting to justify expansion of deportation efforts to other Democratic controlled cities. I will have this and more in my newsletter to premium members tomorrow. Subscribe now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

People convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic abuse or subject to a qualifying protective order aren’t allowed to have firearms according to federal law, but actually separating them from their guns is another matter. Ohio has a unique approach ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/13/o...

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

This will be a critical week for democracy in court. I founded Democracy Docket for times like this. It doesn't pull punches or engage in false equivalency. It's fiercely independent and always pro-democracy. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

I know we’re all talking about the boys fighting but we can lose sight of what’s ACTUALLY happening right now… act.link/gi-evelm

But this would require recipients working full time for an employer who actually offers healthcare benefits. So the plan will kick millions off of ALL healthcare.

NEW: In a win for voters, the Supreme Court rejects the RNC's challenge to a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that allowed voters to cast provisional ballots in person if their mail-in ballots were rejected.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

BREAKING: A right-wing legal group just sued to force Utah to turn over its entire voter roll — including private & protected records. The outcome of this case could potentially lay the groundwork for voter purges in the state. From: @yuniorarivas.bsky.social

West Virginia is warning that women who have a miscarriage could be charged with a crime unless they contact local police. Every woman in WV should call 911 every time they have a period. Gum up the system with malicious compliance. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/h...

VARNEY: 8,000 manufacturing jobs were lost in May. That's not what you wanted to see. CHAVEZ-DeREMER: Well, we're certainly holding steady. VARNEY: But how could we're losing those jobs? CHAVEZ-DeREMER: Well, we're certainly holding steady.

US: “Does @MarshaBlackburn’s (Secret Police bill) give away that naming ICE agents isn’t actually illegal?” NASHVILLE Mayor @freddieoconnell.bsky.social : “I haven’t even looked at the bill.” It would lock people up for 5 years for naming a masked ICE agent. What are they so ashamed of?

I have VERY VERY mixed feelings about the NY Post but this rules

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

Rep. Al Green Announces Impeachment Vote for Authoritarian President - Congress is Court of Last Resort. Watch Rep. Al Green's floor speech on YouTube by clicking the link:

Mahmoud Khalil's unlawful arrest and continued detention has caused irreparable harm to him and his family. As Mahmoud approaches three months in ICE detention, the Trump administration must release him immediately.

Kristi Noem less than a month ago: "There is no scenario where Abrego Garcia will be in the United States again." (No matter what happens, bringing him back to the US is a climbdown for the administration)

We’ve stopped bills like this before — by turning public pressure into political power. We can do it again.

MEMPHIS — YESTERDAY: “He’s not a criminal!!” ICE agent clumsily PULLS A GUN on the daughter of a man they grabbed. Original post: www.facebook.com/share/v/12LM...

US put together case against Abrego-Garcia after intense, and unfavorable, coverage of their due process mistake. Hoping to change narrative from their own DP probs; and conspiracy lets them tag A-G with lots of bad stuff. Looking forward to discussing on @cnn w/ @jimsciutto.bsky.social at 6 PM ET

💥 @repdangoldman.bsky.social speaks out about his confrontation with “plain-clothes ICE agents” wearing masks. “You can’t require Columbia University to ban masks in order to get federal funding while you turn around and have federal government enforcement law enforcement agents wearing masks.”

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

The government is returning Abrego Garcia to the US where he will face criminal charges. In other words, due process, including an opportunity to defend himself in court. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

🚨BREAKING: Mississippi is asking the Supreme Court to uphold its mail-in ballot grace period. Mississippi is fighting back against a challenge from the RNC to strike down the law. Depending on how SCOTUS rules, it could change how over a dozen states conduct elections. Paige and I discuss.
