#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1970: Pres. Nixon signs an extension to the Voting Rights Act including a provision lowering the voting age to 18. Impetus for the change came from the Vietnam War, with proponents using the slogan “old enough to fight, old enough to vote.” /1

On point for #sexoffenderCuomo

In the span of two weeks, Colindres went from celebrating his graduation to being detained by ICE to then being deported to a country where he has not lived since he was 8 years old.

This timeline has me agreeing with Massie. Good lord. He is saying all the correct things right now and is more vocal against this war than Democratic "leaders."

“‘This is an incomplete strike …. If this is all there is, here’s what left: the entire stockpile of 60% uranium, which was stored at Isfahan in tunnels that are untouched.’” www.cnn.com/2025/06/22/p...

brutal thread

Translation: Book your own flights out of Iran, Americans. We’re not going to help you escape- Even though we’ve given you no advanced warning of our attack and placed you in great danger.

The GOP slashed the cost of what the mega bill will add to the deficit by zeroing out the cost of extending Trump’s tax cuts from 1st term. Using fuzzy math doesn’t make the deficit go away, it just makes the GOP more corrupt while passing a bad bill. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/Ai-8fT

We can't seem to find funds for ANY PEACEFUL OR HUMANITARIAN NEED until we decide to BOMB SOMEONE...

First, we put Marines in LA. Second, we bomb Iran. Now, no one is talking about failed tariff policy, Musk’s accusations about Trump being a pedo, Trump’s stalled bill that will destroy Medicaid & Medicare.

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

Ranking Member of House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, Congresswoman Betty McCollum, issued press release: Trump’s unauthorized bombing of Iran was unconstitutional because Iran posed no immediate or direct threat to the USA #ImpeachTrump mccollum.house.gov/media/press-...

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

the democrats need new leaders. the current ones are failing us. and failing the country

selling federal land to pay for tax breaks 4 the rich? wtf does anyone who earns $300-400k or less vote republican? they don’t get tax breaks! the last go-around proved that. the 1st year, my payroll taxes went down & my tax refund did by the same amount. each successive year, my refund got smaller

No concrete evidence of a nuclear weapon, but they had to bomb Iran…well just because….. open.substack.com/pub/charlott...

We’re at war with Iran because Trump hated our first Black president, who had already negotiated and signed a deal to keep Iran’s ability to build nuclear weapons in check, with monitoring and verification.

Only Trump can do it.

No matter where someone was born, the United States should never tolerate inhumane treatment. Yet right now, detainees in ICE custody are facing conditions that are simply unacceptable in any country that claims to uphold human rights, let alone one that prides itself on freedom and the rule of law.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

can we get more clergy to show up every day????

asked for an invite to VP Vance’s press conference here in L.A. today — his office said no.

Trump thinks 11 federal holidays out of 260 working days in a year (4%) is too much But he had no problem spending damn near 25% of his first 150 days back in office golfing Truth is... he's a racist who wants to erase Juneteenth & MLK's Birthday from the federal calendar

Two national guard soldiers in uniform escorted their mother to her immigration hearing to prevent her from being kidnapped by ICE!

💙💙💙

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

BREAKING: A judge has ordered the RELEASE of Mahmoud Khalil

Senator Padilla makes an excellent point: if the FBI and Secret Service were willing to physically remove a Senator they had just escorted into the room, force him down on the floor and cuff him because he tried to ask a question What do you think they & ICE do to regular people?

ALERT! It was never just Roe. Extremist Texas judge rules that federal HIPPA privacy rights don’t apply for reproductive/gender care, even in other states where care is legal. nevadacurrent.com/2025/06/20/r... TX judge strikes down federal health privacy rule for legal abortion care•Nevada Current

This means Trump is now underwater on his handling of nearly all of his core issues: -inflation -immigration -tariffs -protests At what point will politics on these things turn enough that other Republican politicians start to criticize his approach?

thank you Canada 🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦🏳️‍⚧️

This m’fkr. Spending taxpayer money to soak up carcinogens while cutting cancer research. He has excellent healthcare ins to fall back on. My son has an incurable skin cancer syndrome, Nevus Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome. He no longer has his Medicaid to fall back on. FUCK I hate this timeline.

why isn’t this in the national news?!?

Justice Jackson taking on Gorsuch's "pure textualism" and arguing for a more holistic reading of Congress' handiwork—worth reading in full. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

The NYC Bar Association views with alarm ICE agents wearing masks when conducting detentions and arrests. This comes at a time when their actions are the subject of numerous legal challenges, and a public outcry vehemently opposing unlawful detentions and emphasizing the need for due process.

Illegal and immoral

COMMENTARY: It takes a great country to admit its mistakes. The Trump administration's new signs at Colorado's National Historic Sites reflect weakness and insecurity.

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

#Odesa is on fire.The city's historic center is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. "High-culture" Russians are barbarians in reality.What they can't steal,they destroy The attention of the world is on the Middle East these days.Russia continues going unpunished, will continue destroying #Ukraine

The anxiety is building My heart is Hurting Mothers, fathers Children The bonds are Broken Evil Crazed Men and women Think this Is Making us Better? It hurts so Deep The American Way Of life In danger Hate is Not great

The primary reason they cover their faces is that they know what they are doing is wrong and are ashamed or afraid of being eventually arrested for their crimes. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #MomSky

This is a cover-up‼️ DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses. “We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

Your potholes, hospital bills, and student loans are funding fighter jets. There’s never enough money to fund healthcare, education, childcare but we have money to go to war??

It’s not exactly new to point out that Congress has ceded (and presidents of both parties have taken) control over most exercises of the war powers. But this week’s bonus “One First” looks at the quiet but significant role that the Supreme Court has *also* played in that shift—and its consequences:
