So Trump started a war without any degree of Congressional authorization and the way he announced it to the American public was with a huge lie that Iran’s nuclear program had been “completely and totally obliterated."

“Is this the politics of playground children?” “We’ve got the most incredible weapons in the hands of absolute idiots.” Caller Roger doesn’t hold back in his reaction to US strikes on Iran.

I'm not saying the current Iranian regime is innocent or pleasant (thanks for that USA) but I will not stay silent while the lies of "nuclear weapons" are used in the way "weapons of mass destruction" were used when I was a teen. Netanyhu is a #WarCriminal and the UK gov must not follow the USA

can’t overstate how shoddy the actual work is. “the framers didn’t think black people counted in the constitutional order” falls apart with a single question: “well what did they think about all the free blacks that most of them lived around, encountered, and even hired for work?”

Oh my god is this like when Michael Scott fake fired Stanley

Fuck these fuckers!

6/21, Los Angeles: A neighborhood volunteer documenting ICE was stopped by agents in an unmarked car, surrounded, and threatened by masked agents while they filmed him on their phones.

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

No plates again on this Ford SUV. Placeholder plate is from Puente Hills Toyota, who does sell used Ford vehicles. Their phone number is 626-657-2953

In Pasadena, protesters ran ICE out of a hotel. The hotel insisted ICE leave. Protesters slashed tires of many of the vehicles and local tow companies refused to assist. /

The fascist ICE idiots often leave their cars running, unlocked and unattended, here they forgot to even put it on park, damaging US citizen property. #StopICE

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

Bro-caster is a dem.

the thing is too that much of this land is neither reasonably arable nor proximal to an agglomerative center which would justify development. they’re selling it off for no reason whatsoever. it’s a war against nature simply because they can.

Fuck these fascists!

These Republican lawmakers said TikTok was Chinese communist brain poison for months but now that President Trump keeps overruling a ban of it extralegally they're like "oh well, what are you gonna do" www.axios.com/2025/06/18/s...

A brave 20 year old US citizen that stood up to ICE, Adrian Andrew Martinez, disappeared by the regime. His family currently unable to find him after being kidnapped by regime troopers. His mother: "I have no idea where he's at. I don't know if he's okay. I'm really worried right now." #StopICE

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

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

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.

It's Juneteenth. Here's @levarburton.bsky.social reading Lift Every Voice and Sing. #BlackLivesMatter youtu.be/GNEPwwv56DY

I am with Noah on this point: block Vance and any other high level republican politician on sight. This isn't like a normal right wing troll setting up shop: this is someone with the powers of the government behind him. Death threats are the LEAST of our concerns here.

Brutal.

Peace be upon us.

OMG YES… say that‼️ @tarasetmayer.bsky.social nails it. Honestly, we’ve been waiting for politicians to catch up to where the people are—and it’s getting damn late!

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

I wrote a little bit about my trauma recovery on my blog. "For the two weeks or so that preceded Sunday, I woke up to intense anxiety every morning, before I was even fully awake and aware of anything ... Sunday, and every morning since, I woke up like Frodo in Rivendell."

I didn't fit it in my profile of Tim Walz last month, but he compared the Medicaid cuts in OBBB to Bush's attempts to privatize Social Security. If Trump tries to go through with that AND goes to war with Iran, it's very possible that Trump could be in the same place as Bush in 2006.

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.

US District Judge Stephanie Haines, a Trump appointee, has ruled that the government cannot provide detainees with only seven days to challenge their removal or seek asylum after a deportation order, upholding a 21-day notice for potential deportees. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

i must say, the breathless articles crying that this website is dying + a bored cuckold VP joining this website in a desperate attempt to farm content => this place is not, in fact, dying and is gaining much more social capital than most of us realize.

It’s inarguable.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Some potentially very good news in here. gothamist.com/news/early-v...

One thing that's psychologically fascinating about Bluesky is in the absence of an algorithm you're quite sincerely thrown into a wild west marketplace of ideas and have to survive on, uh... merit. A lot of journalists are finding their ideas aren't popular. Rather, they are just well paid.
