If you are not reading @hcrichardson.bsky.social every day, you should be. Every day.

Very proud of my Senator @alex-padilla4ca.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov for speaking truth to power with force, passion and conviction. This administration is fully fascist and people, especially the #legacymedia" must start addressing it as such. There is NO normal in D.C. these days.

Trump administration revives plan to open most of Arctic Alaska land unit to oil development, reports Yereth Rosen, @yjrosen.bsky.social, of @alaskabeacon.com: alaskabeacon.com/2025/06/17/t...

Willing to bet he has ceded more than that to miller who is not welcome back in Santa Monica which was on lots of posters.

I assume Kennedy was just looking to pick up a snack

Queensland and NSW have the most potential to host solar in abandoned coal mines, with Australia’s potential hitting 73GW, according to a study

Farewell to Alfred Brendel, one of the pillars of 20th century piano. The recordings I remember from growing up were mostly Schubert but he was famous for playing... Liszt. m.youtube.com/watch?v=rr0c...

A CONTROVERSIAL “APPEAL to Heaven” flag that has recently become associated with the “Stop the Steal” movement and Christian nationalism was flown above the Small Business Administration (SBA) agency last week in Washington, DC.

So this is what I've been working toward for what feels like the better part of the last month. It's almost like a full-blown documentary at this point. I go back to 70 AD to explore how we got to the Gaza Conflict. And it is not what I thought. I hope it helps someone! youtu.be/HkuwuYOmYQE

Why should we believe these men are actually ICE agents and not J6 criminals, thugs, or human traffickers? I want to hear directly from immigrants and citizens who were taken by people like this, hauled off in unmarked cars by masked men with no ID…

Only the luchshi!

Considering that the Minnesota shooter might have been linked to the New Apostolic Reformation, this has special interest. I talked to an expert about this not-so-well-known, but quite large movement on UnSpun last year. redcircle.com/shows/56c050...

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

Donald Trump refuses to be the President of all Americans because he doesn't think people who disagree with him are real Americans at all.

Trump removed the bust of MLK Jr from Oval Office. Someone didn’t understand the meaning of No Kings Day.

Mainly came back to herald warnings for LA on Thursday. This is all very messed up. Police are meant to protect citizens. Military are meant for protecting the State. Please, DO NOT provoke the Marines. Be peaceful. These are young, jumpy soldiers that have no experience in this kind of fascism.

I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us. It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.

They are really going after criminals and breaking up the diabolicalTchotchke Cartel. Deplorable. ktla.com/news/local-n...

Lots to dig into tonight. 1000s more national guard deployed to LA, court may allow Trump to maintain control of national guard in LA for now, what does that mean for other cities? Trump’s Iran about face and what the impact could be if US attacks Iran, NYC Comptroller spends 3 plus hours detained.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.” Tucker Carlson embarrasses @sentedcruz as he pushes for war with Iran

Trump on whether he would call Tim Walz to express condolences after this weekend’s shootings: “So I could be nice and call him, but why waste time?” I will say it again. We cannot talk about what is happening to young men without talking about what’s being modeled for them. By the president.

RESULT: Ramin Fatehi, the reform prosecutor of Norfolk who faced an expensive challenge from his right in tonight's Democratic primary, has won tonight.

More than 100,000 people in SC could lose health insurance if federal help expires scdailygazette.com/2025/06/17/m...

When Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk was disappeared off the streets of Massachusetts by a goon squad that looked just like this, she had no idea who they were or where they were taking her, and she thought they would torture her first and then kill her. She’s from Turkey, where that stuff happens.

🚨🚨🚨 Welp. Senate version of the #MAGAMurderBill would slash Medicaid even MORE than the House version. h/t @edwincpark.bsky.social for the rundown (you should follow him for Medicaid wonkiness stuff): acasignups.net/25/06/17/wel...

Want to be a powerful thinker? Then overcoming these pitfalls is required:

Jack, who attended his first KKK meeting aged 7, knows fascism when he sees it. Living in a deep red county in a deeply red state, he knew he had to do something to fight Trump 2.0 So he bought a thermal label printer and started posting stickers across the country. www.wired.com/story/techno...

#ResistanceUnited #DemVoice1 #ProudBLUE Would you carry this in your pocket before returning to weekday business? No Kings rally’s Attendance estimates vary (5-12M), but Thanks to everyone's effort, A critical mass is approaching

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Not. A. Drag. Queen. Not transgender
