Texas now leads the nation in workplace deaths - a function of the "Texas Miracle", as frenzied, under-regulated business competition leads to neglect of workplace safety standards. Pod: bit.ly/3Z0lr7x Story: tinyurl.com/4rfmywte

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

5Ge? What’s that mean?

You can’t convince me that Trump isn’t evil.

CNN: "Breaking just moments ago. New data showing consumers cut back spending sharply last month ... this does appears to at least partially be driven by a hangover from tariffs."

I’m sure it’s fine 😭😭

wtf.

Are we great yet?

CENSURE MIKE LEE TOMORROW MORNING!!!!!!

They caught the bastard!

A DHS helicopter circling, several dozens of heavily armed, masked ICE agents dressed in military tactical gear raided one of the most popular swaps meets in So Cal. They were dragging people out of the bathrooms. They went into all the spaces asking for everyone’s identification.

Of course, no one has to worry about these wienies. Here’s some leaked footage from their training video.

When billionaire PACs play kingmaker, Texans lose.

At least 12 million people ( 3.7% of US pop) took a stand against the Trump regime and fascism on Saturday. The next step is a national general strike and boycotts. When 3.5% of the whole population of a nation has begun to participate in resistance, success is inevitable. #3E #NoKings #StopICE

People should call ICE on these vans.

These fuckers aren’t using U-Haul anymore.

The honor of a lifetime. Happy Father’s Day, California.

This is the military carrying out law enforcement, I'm sorry, there's no other way to interpret it.

I talked to both of my parents this morning. They’re both Republicans, not together, they barely even talk. Anyway, I had to explain to them both that the shooter wasn’t a Democrat. And both pushed against it, because that’s not what the heard. 😭

This is an egregiously shameful tweet from a US senator

So, they found the guy’s hat, but not the guy? 😭

ICE raiding a crowded supermarket in Rosemead, California with no identification, indistinguishable from cartel hitmen, pulling high caliber rifles on unarmed US citizens trying to ask questions about wtf is going on. #3E #StopICE

At least 4 MAGA terrorist attacks took place in the United States targeting peaceful protestors & lawmakers on Saturday, one assassination, a shooting into a crowd, and two car rammings. Other MAGA showed up at protests attempting to intimidate people. MAGA is a terrorist group.

Wow.

From every video, LAPD escalated

MARYLAND’s @govwesmoore.bsky.social: “Trump is throwing a whole military parade for himself, because he doesn’t understand what it means to put country before himself.” 🇺🇸

And Paxton said in an interview that had he not thrown out votes, Biden would have won Texas in 2020.

Wow!

This is what fascism looks like. But we still have the numbers to win.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Sydney Jordan is choked up on CNN talking about her former colleague Melissa Hortman

The right wing claims that: 1. Both Trump assassination attempts were done by the left 2. The Minnesota assassin is a member of the left On both LIES we must push back HARD. Because the TRUTH IS: 1. Both Trump assassins were Trump voters 2. The Minnesota assassin is a right wing extremist

KARE 11 TV in the Twin Cities reports that Vance Boelter's best friend says Boelter voted for Trump and is "a strong supporter"

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

The man who tried to assassinate Trump was a gun-loving Trump supporter who later turned on him. Right-wing media blamed Democrats, because of course. The alleged Minnesota shooter is an anti-abortion Christian nationalist w/ a list with other Dems as targets. They're still blaming liberals.
