Dems *have* to build an effective, year-round communication network to loudly combat fascist disinformation. Otherwise right-wing lies will continue to swamp popular Dem policies that go unheard or are grossly misrepresented. MSM is complicit.

Just a reminder that while her ex nonstop soils himself in public with tasteless displays of wealth and look-at-me, thirsty nonsense, Mackenzie Scott has given away close to $20 billion to 1,600 charities, no strings attached and without any need for recognition.

Stop calling it Alligator Alcatraz like it’s a f***ing theme park. It’s a taxpayer-funded wildlife internment camp built with stolen FEMA funds. Ron DeSantis literally bragged they “get to shower and eat,” like he wanted a prize. They give it a cute name to minimize the cruelty.

Hong Kong's pro-democracy League of Social Democrats has disbanded under intense political pressure.

Since Trump's election and the talk of ceasefire, Russian air attacks on Ukraine have increased to new levels

This is why the GOP are not worried about what voters think of this bill.

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

@rshereme.bsky.social On June 29, russia launched its largest drone and missile attack on Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion. The consequences are devastating: 1/n

On your McDonald’s application for employment it states if you knowingly tell falsehoods on the application not only will you be terminated, but you will be prosecuted as well. Supreme Court justices lied through their teeth to get their jobs and they’re rewarded. Would you like LIES with that?

Everyone should do this--speak out against the big ugly bill. Senate offices are closed, but their inboxes aren't. Let's get 1,000 more out by midnight: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Kamala Harris ran on the biggest expansion to Medicare in modern history and personally advocated for expanding Medicaid. In response, voters elected the leader of the party that is about to gut Medicaid and the ACA. So much for "just give us healthcare", huh?

Remember the pandemic that Trump mismanaged? Kids in rural areas sat in fast food parking lots to get WiFi to attend school. Dems passed & Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act for reliable Internet access for everyone. On day one, Trump reversed it.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Digsuting. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

They may bring a vote on the BIG UGLY BILL at 4:00pm ET today! NOW'S the time to call your senators; the Capitol switchboard operates 24/7 ➡️(202) 224-3121⬅️ Reach out to friends in the dark. MAGA in govt. are LYING! Repub. senator says it cuts Medicaid "too much." Oops - he said it out loud. 1/2

The Congressional Budget Office just released new numbers: this budget bill would cut almost $1 TRILLION from Medicaid. That means millions losing their health care. Everyone else paying more. Hospitals closing and jobs lost. This is a disaster for working families.

Absolutely outrageous. 😡

The masked agents pull up quickly. They jump out of unmarked vans. They wear blue jeans or battle fatigues. They approach Latinos, yelling and carrying assault rifles. If someone runs, they’re taken. If they don’t answer a question, they’re taken. If they can’t produce papers, they’re taken.

Huge turnout in the Everglades for a protest against Alligator Alcatraz, the Ron DeSantis tent prison for migrants. It’s ominous how fast they’re building it. Will cost $450 million and be ready very soon.

I've got a message for Mike Lee: Hands off our public lands. Mike is still working to sneak in his plan to sell off America's public lands into Trump's big bill. We can't let him succeed.

My daughter just sent me this I wish I was filthy rich I'd buy a full-page ad in every major publication Hardworking Decent People deserve our gratitude and respect Not being dragged off and beaten

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

"It is not difficult to predict how this all ends. Eventually, executive power will become completely uncontainable, and our beloved constitutional Republic will be no more." -Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, in her dissent in Trump v. CASA. I l recommend you to read the entire opinion and dissents ⬇️

“I have no doubt that, if judges must allow the Executive to act unlawfully in some circumstances, as the Court concludes today, executive lawlessness will flourish..." @pemalevy.bsky.social unpacks KBJ's dire warning to the nation following today's Supreme Court rulings:

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

NEW VIDEO: One of the most egregious abuses of power and attacks on the federal judiciary is taking place in Maryland and it is not getting the urgent attention it deserves. In a normal time this would be a national scandal. Paige and I discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqrO...

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

Yes. Vought is killing kids.

I wonder if Mitch McConnell assumed Americans who lost their healthcare would "get over it" because they will be dead.

Murray to Vought: This should be a yes or no. What I hear is all kind of word salad to make sure you are letting us know that you intend to do things that are outside the intent of the law.

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

“The soft power suicide of the U.S. will be incomprehensible to future historians who will be dumbfounded in their attempts to explain why the global leader voluntarily wrecked one of its greatest national assets...” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/b...

I don’t know how we do journalism well when doing journalism well results in making the chaotic and incoherent seem orderly and coherent.

Look...millions will lose their healthcare. Many will lose their nursing home and memory care rooms since Medicaid pays for the overwhelming majority of those but look...having Great Grandma wander the house is good for family. They will forget all about it in a year and a half...right?

NEW: Records of 911 and EMS responses to calls from ICE detention centers show a surge in emergencies the facilities are unequipped to handle, including suicide attempts, severe pregnancy complications, and alleged sexual assaults by staff. This is by @dmehro.bsky.social and @dell.bsky.social

Just saying.
