We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

This is the moment when he realizes what he's become.

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Israel gür ut med en varning till alla iranska civilister, lämna alla platser som ligger nära militära installationer.

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.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

Idag är det trefaldighetssÜndagen. Sü här fÜrklarar Svenska kyrkan det: "Pü Heliga trefaldighets dag firar vi treenigheten, att Gud är en men samtidigt tre: Gud, Jesus och den heliga anden. "

Nobody likes me Everybody hates me Think I’ll go eat worms

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

“Israel had spent months smuggling in parts for hundreds of quadcopter drones rigged with explosives—in suitcases, trucks and shipping containers—as well as munitions that could be fired from unmanned platforms, people familiar with the operation said.” www.wsj.com/world/middle...

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Melissa Hortman, a former Minnesota House speaker who championed the passage of ambitious progressive policies in the state, was assassinated early Saturday in what Gov. Tim Walz called “an act of targeted political violence.” @gracepanetta.bsky.social via @19thnews.org

When Tim Walz became Kamala Harris's running mate, progressives highlighted policies passed. It could not have been possible without Melissa Hortman. -Free school breakfast and lunch -Restoring voting rights for felons -Paid leave Great piece by @gracepanetta.bsky.social 19thnews.org/2025/06/rep-...

“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.

JOURNALISTS COVERING PROTESTS IN LOS ANGELES: If you’re in crowds, please report on if you heard police give reasonable/audible dispersal orders before they attack. Would first time attendee have been able to hear/understand? Most people I talk to at protests NEVER hear it, esp. over noise.

I reealllllllyyyy wish @bsky.app had a bookmark feature right now as I'm trying to track all the evidence of police misconduct against journalists. @jay.bsky.team pretty please? FWIW, I just added this and think it's cool, but would love a native feature with different folders.

LAT here echoes what LAPD deputy chief said on KNX: Police claim some protesters threw rocks. Let's see it. LAPD has THOUSANDS of bodcams out there. Downtown is blanketed in security cameras. Show. Us. The. Video. Then let's compare it to the use of force in response. Receipts must be checked. 🧾

MAGA guys will never learn.

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

Trump keeps it succinct, that thing he’s known to do when something goes really well for him.

I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

About an hour until parade start time in D.C., and there are plenty of prime viewing spots wide open, particularly toward the beginning of the route.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Photos show police clashing with No Kings protesters in Los Angeles. Protesters could be heard yelling “drop your guns,” “shame on you” and “your neighbors will know what you’re doing.” See photo gallery → www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti... 📸: @stephenlamphoto.bsky.social / S.F. Chronicle

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

Britain is moving combat jets and other military aircraft to the Middle East after Iran threatened to strike UK military bases in the region and launched a new wave of overnight missile strikes on Israel ⬇️

Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.

Officials in Minnesota were searching for the person who shot and killed State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, in what Gov. Tim Walz described as a politically motivated attack. The suspect also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife. Live updates: nyti.ms/3HGa3cc

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

You all never going to guess where I’m at.

“A second Israeli security source said the Mossad operations were years in the making, involving both intel-gathering efforts & the deployment of Mossad commandos deep behind enemy lines. Some of the Mossad commando forces operated in the Iranian capital” www.cnn.com/2025/06/13/m...

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman was a friend who worked with Gabby to stop gun violence. We’re thinking of her children, who've now lost both their parents, and we’re praying for Sen. Hoffman and his wife, who are still fighting for their lives. Stay strong.
