Best image of the day:

Sen. Murphy: "Raising your voice is not a crime in this country. Protesting your government does not, can not, and should not result in you being delivered to the ground by law enforcement and handcuffed."

Journalists, once again: Get used to using the word LIE. In fact, put that ish in your editorial policies.

Analogy of the Day...

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Suck it, Sarah.

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

Like I said, LA is a manufactured event. Look up, Narcissistic Personality Disorder. This POTUS is acting erratically and projecting disorder where there is none. Enemy #1 is, the enemy of the people. He deployed 2000 more troops, why, based on what Intel? His need for attention controls him.

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE. Tells me everything I need to know about you.

Super late to the party on this, but I don’t think it matters what kind of bullets that cop shot the Australian reporter with. Cops have no business shooting reporters in the first place.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

👏👏👏

Stephen Miller spews his hate and bile, With venom dripping from his twisted smile, Terry Moran spoke truth, a shining light, Cut through the lies with journalistic insight, ABC bows down without putting up a fight, Knee bent to the crooked king's delight. I stand with @bestese34.bsky.social

Terry Moran exercises 1st Amendment right...gets suspended.

A Scaramucci as a measure of time is the exact kind of unhinged that I need!

Ordinary people on both sides of the aisle want the Epstein Files released in their entirety. Elites on both sides of the aisle are praying they never get released.

🤣🤣🤣

I’m in a public library. Numerous adults are helping kids on summer break. Some kids look brilliant & are working on things that look complex. Other kids seem like they need more help. A woman with a laptop is helping a struggling patron apply for benefits. Libraries rock!!!📚 #SupportLibraries

13-yr-old Camarria Williams made a remarkable discovery when she found a compound with potential cancer-fighting properties in goose poop from Garfield Park, Chicago. This surprising find happened while participating in the Chicago Antibiotic Discovery Lab, a STEM program in collaboration with the

Tolerance is a social contract

Happy Fragile Straight Man Month!

The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.

Remember when this pic of Elián González was a national scandal instead of a daily occurrence?

Hehehe

MURRAY: Will you allocate the $220m for literacy programs that Congress appropriated? McMAHON: We're looking at the unallocated dollars to determine which of those programs we can best spend on MURRAY: Those funds were appropriated. It looks to me like the dept is illegally impounding funding

When @bradtakei.bsky.social and I first got together, we never imagined we’d one day celebrate Pride openly, let alone post about it on the internet. But here we are, joy and all. Happy Pride, everyone! Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and marching forward (glitter optional, but encouraged). 🌈✨
