Plus, there are always dogs.

Gorgeous!

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

We are all completely heartbroken by the death of Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, the peaceful protester who was killed at the Salt Lake City rally on Saturday night. If you can, please consider supporting his family while we hold them in our hearts.

Elections have consequences.

I’ve been wondering about this myself….

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

I am wondering why Lisa Leher from the @nytimes.com did not discuss the data that suggests political violence in the US in the current era mostly comes from the right. Seems like a strange fact to ignore. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

It most certainly is!

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

This man recognized fascism in 1945. He recognizes it now.

What signs did you see that made you confident that creativity might just get us the fuck out of this?

He knows. He knew then, he knows now.

The silence of our military leaders is deafening.

"She is basically saying it's time for civil war between the Trump administration and the people of Los Angeles and California and their elected leaders."

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

clip from the AP live stream of Padilla's remarks... "If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers... We will hold this administration accountable."

De-escalation tips from @indivisible.org

Powerful statement by Sen. Alex Padilla. Please notice that anytime senators or representatives try to conduct oversight, they’re blocked. In this case, a sitting US senator was tackled to the ground and handcuffed—for asking a question. Where the hell has Chuck Schumer been on this?

Like you I am focused on Los Angeles. But we better learn to multitask. Because we need to also stay focused on this: Trump turned over the staffing, funding & inner workings of our federal agencies to a man who attacked his Treasury Secy & who he tells us is a drug addict.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

This is an important reminder: even the LAPD acknowledged yesterday that everything was peaceful. Then Trump brought the chaos. He is responsible.

Yesterday on the anniversary of D-Day, Indivisible Northampton Swing Left Western Mass joined people all across the nation in supporting veterans. We were at the VA Medical Center in Leeds MA.

Remember when Joe Rogan said Elon had an app that knew who won the election hours before the results came in? Yeah…I want to hear more about that.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Here’s a rare member of the U.S. Senate who seems to understand how close we are to a dictatorship.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?
