CR urges U.S. lawmakers to drop proposed electric vehicle fees. “These are punitive taxes designed to confiscate fuel savings from consumers who just want to save money for their families,” said Chris Harto, senior policy analyst at CR. (via EV Magz)

"Mom, I don't think we should have kings. Or presidents! The people should be able to make their own decisions." Wow, I love my kid.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

I can't tell you how invigorating and inspiring and hopeful it is to be in a crowd of people who also care. Took a group of teens to the last big protest and they were most struck by no longer feeling alone. If you're able to go, I encourage you to try. Get a group of friends & go together.

"Liberate this city from socialists and burdensome leadership." If that's not regime change, I don't know what to tell you. The inflection point is now.

ICE is abducting US citizens out in the open to provoke a response. They're doing this on purpose to escalate and then play the victim when people protest.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

BREAKING: RFK Jr. fires ACIP, the panel responsible for advising on vaccines. This breaks a promise to Sen. Bill Cassidy, who voted to advance Kennedy as HHS secretary on the condition that he would, among other things, keep ACIP in place. www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...

Is anyone tracking lawsuits filed by members of Congress to gain access to ICE facilities? Are they even fighting this in court? The stores I've been hearing about this facility are so grim oversight is critical NOW

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

As a lawyer who's been told, "that's illegal!" should be my catchphrase, believe me when I say that just pointing out this is illegal is not a winning strategy. People need to understand why it is illegal, what it means, and why the "threat" is not more dangerous than the illegal response.

Opportunity for mass resistance, conveniently located in central LA: These people deserve to be on the news. They will be, if the building is surrounded by a nonviolent crowd demanding their release.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

QOTD: Giving poor people some money makes crime go down better than giving cops more money. Says science. We did the science. We keep doing that science. Nobody in a suit ever cares tho.

The lawsuits are great to fight the illegal impoundment, but the second there's an actual federal budget passed through Congress that looks like this, it's all over for American higher education.

We need more of this! VA Senators @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social demand ICE agents properly identify themselves when detaining people. We cannot allow unidentified, armed, masked men to snatch people off our streets, hospitals, and courts. www.warner.senate.gov/public/index...
