This is an ominous step toward martial law. The time for mobilizing peacefully but massively against this dangerous progression is NOW. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

🇺🇸 Gina Ortiz Jones has won the San Antonio Mayoral runoff! A Veteran and former Under Secretary of the Air Force, she now becomes the only Vet leading a major U.S. city.

Exactly

Between this and HR 1, this is a big, ugly map of a clear as day grab for authoritarian power by Trump. It’s not even subtle.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

Your oath is to the Constitution. The President violates the Constitution. If he orders you to violate the Constitution… Your oath remains to the Constitution.

Appropriately dark representation of what’s happening to our nation. TW: police ultimately fire tear gas grenades at the woman waving the American Flag. This is happening in and around LA. God save us all. 🇺🇸 #ICE #LosAngeles #SoCal #DHS

This is bizarre.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

We could have had her, America.

We’ve got the 👏 receipts 👏 proof 👏 timelines 👏 screenshots 👏 on this messy breakup. The internet lives forever!

Step 1: Strip away healthcare. Step 2: Blame you for getting sick. Step 3: Watch corporate profits soar. If this isn’t a death spiral by design, what is? #TrumpsBillWillKill

Sorry to step away from the catfight, but we’ve got a win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to dismantle AmeriCorps halting the termination of grants and its volunteer network!

Today, Veterans, members of Congress, and the Women in the Services Coalition stood on the Capitol steps to say what this administration refuses to: Women serve. Women lead. Women have always fought for this country. We won’t let Trump erase their legacy—or silence those still in uniform.

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

Oh.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

When your massive ego gets you to announce something a more careful person would have kept quiet.

The Trump admin has illegally fired THOUSANDS of federal employees who work every day to deliver for the American people.   People like Keri in MD — whose work promoted US manufacturing & jobs, until she was fired. I shared her story in a hearing with Sec. Lutnick this morning:

Nice job!

Goldman: "The idea of focusing on President Biden is a way of distracting from Donald Trump's efforts to completely undermine our democracy, to grift and engage in corruption, and to help out his billionaire buddies by cutting their taxes while taking Medicaid away from the American people."

Remembering when a coworker laughed at me and a few other women who were talking about having been at the first DC Women's March. He thought it was hilarious how we were overreacting.

The private sector will not fill the gaps. The size of the cuts is too big, and the incentives does not align to do basic research or train the next generation of PhD students. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/are-univer...

As Dean says, it was Biden’s idea.

Shoutout to USFS R&D 💚 World’s largest forestry R&D studying topics that tie in to our public lands, forests, and trees nationwide. And yes, Chief Shultz, markets, timber products, economics, wildfire, recreation… our scientists study it all.

We’re sure many of you have heard about the growing controversy in Oklahoma, where parents are pushing back against a new curriculum quietly pushed through by the state’s superintendent.

I have questions about Musk’s departure from DOGE, and we don’t really have good answers. Sometimes, it’s important to just put down the markers. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

A junkie unmoored from reality destroyed our govt: "The drug has psychedelic properties and can cause dissociation from reality. Chronic use can lead to addiction and problems with bladder pain...Mr. Musk told people that his ketamine use was causing bladder issues" www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

There’s your empty shelf. US goods imports drop 19.8% in April — largest on record

After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers. No. I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children. Vaccines save lives and protect health. Period.

The Pentagon is pulling $1B from Army barracks—money meant to fix mold, broken plumbing, and dangerous living conditions. Trump says he “has their back,” but he’s gutting Troop housing to fund his border surge. Talk is cheap. This is who he really is. MORE: www.military.com/daily-news/2...
