LAT posts a picture of Narciso Barranco, who was violently assaulted by ICE, with his 3 Marine sons. These are the proud Americans Stephen Miller is targeting. www.latimes.com/california/s...

A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza. That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed. Genocide. medium.com/@m4xim1l1an/...

Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed a budget line item late Sunday that would have brought in an estimated $450 million in federal dollars to fund a summer food aid program for low-income children.

Just saying, House members and staff: if you want to leak to me on your personal phones, my Signal is Emgarcia.85

Ready when you are

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

Just because he pulled out doesn’t mean it’s over. Rapists never understand that #NoWar #ImpeachTrump

We bombed Iran without congressional approval and I still have chores and work and kids in sports and supper to make. Living through autocracy and another possible forever war while living day to day is wild.

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

🧵 The dog days of summer may be unavoidable. Dog books? For some readers, they're getting harder to find. Turns out the book banners who told you their only concern was "pornography" are also trying to restrict many students' right to read about... dogs.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

80 percent of Republicans oppose war with Iran and 92 percent of Democrats oppose it while 83 percent of independents oppose it. today.yougov.com/topics/inter...

CARTOON OF THE DAY… 🇺🇸

No one in Trump’s family has ever served in the military. He’ll send other people’s kids to war. Never his. Never.

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

everything about this article is so deeply American. exiling the truth teller, wanting to know the history but not too much, inability to come to terms with its own violent history. fam, this is as American as apple pie.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Here is yet another reminder that the Constitution is not optional… Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike.

Newsflash to GOP: Israel is not part of the United States.

BREAKING: PLEASE SHARE Christian Stephen, a member of the US military was placed on a 72 hold in a psych facility for posting this video stating that he wants to uphold our Constitution.

PEN America Welcomes Release of Mahmoud Khalil But Condemns Ongoing Threat to Free Expression pen.org/press-releas...

We reaffirm our support for imprisoned poet Mohamed Tadjadit ahead of his June 22 hearing. Sentenced to 5 years in prison for his free expression—reduced to 1 year last month—we urge Algerian authorities to release him immediately and unconditionally. pen.org/press-releas...

Dear autistics, Its important to point out that not all but many autistics struggle with hot temperatures. Even warm temperatures especially regularly warm temperatures is not good for many. Stay hydrated and do what is needed to stay cool or at the very least what is acceptable for you.

that there is no way to know whether masked g-men who snatch and disappear civilians at random without warrants are, in fact, federal agents or deputized as such and not self-appointed vigilante pretenders, appears unambiguously to be a feature, not a bug, of the Trump Terror

I had this dumbass idea in mind for like a year and today I finally let the demons take over

Mahmoud Khalil’s release is a win for the rule of law. It also demonstrates the problem with not punishing those who undermine the rule of law. He was still wrongfully imprisoned for more than three months. What is the incentive for them to not do that again?

ISRAEL IS DOING THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY TO PALESTINIANS

before you think that slurring Senator Alex Padilla as "José Padilla” is just a random racist reflex, recall who José Padilla really was — en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%... in a classic accusation in the mirror, Vance adds: “It’s pure political theatre"

JFC. Vance referred to Senator Alex Padilla as Jose Padilla in his hideous speech in LA today. He also accused Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom of fomenting violence.

This is a great explanation breakdown by @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social. If you are a Chicano and an Angeleno, you know the history of Dodger Stadium kicking out Latino families in the Chavez Ravine, then it won back the trust of Latinos. My mom called Dodgers Stadium like church.

make some comics this weekend!! I will be! from the amazing The Cartoonists Club by @goraina.bsky.social and @scottmccloud.bsky.social #thecartoonistclub #makecomics #makestuffwithyourfriends

Trump’s EPA is considering overturning a ban on cancer-causing asbestos. A top EPA official involved in the decision once lobbied for the American Chemistry Council – the group who sued to stop the ban. Trump is risking our health so corporations can line their pockets.

NEW from Me: Democrats are planning to challenge the "One Big, Beautiful Bill's" ban on Medicaid being used for gender-affirming care using the Byrd rule. This comes as Republicans continue to ramp up anti-trans legislation www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

All alone in the library today. Let’s hope it goes quickly and quietly.

Wow. I cannot imagine a documentary that would be of greater interest to me. The timing is... insanely right. Premiere is 6/27/2025 at 9pm ET www.pbs.org/wnet/america... via Maddow

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. Congress must step up and reassert its power. No more forever wars.

Join us 6/27 online to honor jailed poet Galal El-Behairy alongside his family on his birthday. In this conversation on creativity and dissent in Egypt, you'll hear from novelist Ahmed Naji, @peninternational.bsky.social’s Mina Thabet, and journalist Basma Mostafa. RSVP: pen.org/event/poetry...

More concerns about the quality of US economic data: “.. almost a third of the prices going into the CPI at the moment are guesses based on other data collections in the CPI.” - Apollo/Slok

Yep: Trump’s interests are not the interests of the United States — This is an essential piece, particularly coming from Kagan was one of the more vociferous boosters of the post 9/11 wars. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

#OTD in 1964, civil rights workers James Chaney, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman went missing in Mississippi. They were murdered by the KKK for registering Black voters. Their work continues. #TheMarchContinues
