My mother lived till May 2021, so she had a few months of resting easy, knowing that the nightmare was over and we'd all be OK, etc. She'd be so fucking furious right now.

Out of 84 people rounded up, only 2 had criminal records, in case you’re still too dumb to see what’s really going on. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

I just realized that this video, "Where Did Trump's Money Come From?" has over a million views. That is rather gratifying, as I did a lot of research for it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhIl...

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Always a weird coincidence when the DSA's goals line up perfectly with Russia's goals.

And this isn't just any Dodgers game. It's a Dodgers/Padres game. Yet ICE says there's no particular reason they wanted access. Sure, Jan. GTFO.

Republicans win Best in Show for Trillion Dollar, Decades long Dog Wagging!!

👇🏽tax flight is a right wing myth

Important story about OMB's plans with regard to appropriated funds. This is a big deal, both practically and constitutionally. [Gift article] www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/u...

The GOP's “Big Beautiful Betrayal” would rip health care away from over 13.7 million Americans—   And hospitals and providers are expected to face up to $31 BILLION in uncompensated care costs.   Under Republicans' bill, EVERYONE would pay the price.   Except for billionaires.

Sotomayor points out the similarities between the Skrmetti ruling allowing discrimination against transgender people's medical care to Virginia's argument for its interracial marriage ban in Loving.

The New York Times is, sneakily, one of the most anti-trans organizations in the country

If there's one legacy of the War in Iraq that Democrats should have internalized, it's the fact that those who lined up behind the war drums all came to regret that decision while those who wisely refused to go along were soon vindicated. One of the latter rode that decision to the White House!

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

GOV. ANDY BESHEAR CRITICIZES ICE RAIDS!!

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

Why the Right Hates Juneteenth Wrote this two years ago - but worth reiterating, as America is ruled by a regime seeking to restore complete white male dominance in all spheres of life: Today’s MAGA GOP stands in the political, ideological, and spiritual tradition of the (neo-) Confederacy.

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

Karen Bass: "It's felt in LA like we're part of a grand experiment. How far will the public tolerate the federal government intervening and seizing power from a governor? I think it's being tried out here."

I don’t know why you’d expect a trenchant definition of detention center from a guy who dresses like he just got thrown out of a Del Taco

Verizon and Amazon cancel support for Juneteenth celebrations popular.info/p/verizon-an...

I've had a secret theory for a while that I guess I'll just throw out there: The right is inevitably going to turn on AI, not because LLMs hallucinate or get things wrong, but because they mostly *get things right*, and reality, as a great man once said, has a liberal bias.

remarkably negative considering the lame question (it's not "strikes" it is "engage in a war" FFS) www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Kelcie has been all over this horrifying story Opinion and order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... One page judgement: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

"THE END OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AS WE KNOW IT COULD BE HAPPENING NOW"

The Trump Christian Nationalist killing spree continues. These people are monsters.

“Oh my God” is right.

Make this go viral. This is where we are folks. Americans being kidnapped off the streets and disappeared. The White House is not happy with this video. Too fucking bad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7SO...

to be fair, it also tells us he shouldn't be in that room

Two-thirds of Trump's wives were immigrants, proving once again that we need immigrants to do the jobs that Americans won't do. Political cartoon by Dave Granlund

Here’s the future they want. These poor teenagers.

1. BREAKING via the Financial Times British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has put his cabinet on alert for a possible US attack on Iran, just 24 hours after insisting Donald Trump had given no indication he was about to “get involved in this conflict”.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

One reason it puzzles me that people are not including David Huerta in their list of Dems Noem arrested is … the attack on unions is coming. Hard.

Evil, petulant, dumb, and unfair to millions of people who paid into the system and deserve much better. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

What happened to parental rights? Why do six justices think that politicians can override expert medical opinions? If parents consent to care their children want and need, when that care is safe and necessary, that should be that.

Please tell the people!!!!!!!!!! This shit ain’t clicking!!!

Policy (aka tariffs + uncertainty + destabilizing fiscal policy) since March has shifted the U.S. economy in a stagflationary direction. Latest Fed forecasts show slower growth, higher unemployment, amid higher inflation, with rates staying higher for longer.

Again, I think this will increase Mike Lee’s popularity, not decrease it. Trumpists want a swaggering, bullying douche.
