ICE is targeting anyone who looks “deportable.”

The news just keeps getting better and better. 🤣🤣 www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

youtube.com/watch?v=GCDX... Long but worth the listen if you need a breath of hopefulness. I love Rachel Maddow!!!

👋 @massago.bsky.social 👋 @massgovernor.bsky.social 🤯 ICE is violating the human rights of detainees and disregarding the Constitution and federal law. #mapoli

#GVerse #Attention: Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social calls for #OrangeTurd's masked ICE agents engaged in aggressive overreach to be identified, because "This is America, this is not the Soviet Union, we're not behind the iron curtain." BOOM! REPOST!!!

Just know everyone is safe here and I do mean everyone🩷💛💚❤️

DC's airport will likely be closed for hours to accommodate Trump's military birthday parade next weekend -- which would also send ripples of delays around the country: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

DEAN: Did your department have any worry about the president growing his own business while on the job? LUTNICK: My trip to the Middle East was extraordinary. It was amazing. DEAN: I'm sure. I'm asking you, did the question of conflict of interest come up? LUTNICK: No DEAN: It is grotesque

ICE detentions have surged, but deportations have lagged. Over the past month, NPR spoke to dozens of detainees, families and lawyers who spoke of overcrowded facilities lacking food and medicine.

🧵 #AltCitizen action needed by June 16! Please comment on this anti-disabled Federal Register. Since 1980, federal facility projects and projects receiving federal grants have required accessibility in design and construction. They think accessibility regulations are “unduly burdensome” 😡

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

Im sorry what?

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

Trump picked a 22-year-old with no experience to tackle U.S. extremism. Five years ago he was a gardener. Last year, he worked in a grocery store. Only the best people www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

105 years ago today, the Women's Bureau—a DOL office dedicated to promoting American women in the workforce—was born. Today, Trump is calling for its elimination for the first time ever. Spoke to 9 current & former staffers about its work for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We need more of this!! Take the money out of politicians pockets!!

No. Way. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Who could have seen this coming?

NEW: GOP rage with Musk spills out privately after break with Trump

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries. Now she's running for state house. eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

White House has been approving disaster relief funds—without informing FEMA. This is a huge breakdown in emergency coordination with real consequences. (Source: MSN / NBC News) #disasterrelief #altGov #FEMA 1/7

The Department of Justice is now just another part of the Republican voter suppression war machine. I will do everything I can to "thwart" its efforts to under free and fair elections.

What the hell...Felons performing police duties. We can't get any lower. How disgraceful !

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks This speaks to my heart. 🧡🩵 I’m so grateful for all the wonderful friends I have met on BlueSky. You make my world better every day. 💛🧡

Reading Ms Magazine Spr. 25 issue - there’s a feature on Spending Spotlight: “Verizon, based in New York and New Jersey, is consistently among the largest direct funders to anti-reproductive freedom legislators.” Looks like I will start searching for a new carrier. spendingspotlight.org

Only the best people...

U.S. agriculture officials are warning that packages of ground beef sold at Whole Foods markets may be contaminated with E. coli bacteria.

Many in Virginia's Culpeper County are unhappy with the president's pardon of a sheriff convicted of bribery. Trump called him a victim "persecuted by the Radical Left 'monsters' and 'left for dead.'"

Bob, I am IN.

It is incredibly refreshing to see a progressive politician in New York City talk about how these giveaways for developers often fall short and do not result in truly affordable housing. Zohran's policy here is essentially an indictment of the failed Brad Lander/Zellnor Myrie model.
