And they are and will do it again, as in right now . . .

This is not the America I know ICE GESTAPO Call Your Senators and Congressional Representatives 202 224-3121

"Social Security has stopped publicly reporting its processing times for benefits, the 1-800 number’s current call wait time and numerous other performance metrics which are used to track the agency’s struggling customer service programs...." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The context matters. We know - for certain - there is a diplomatic path to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The Obama agreement was working. And as late as a week ago, Iran was back at the table again. Which makes this attack - with all its enormous risks - so reckless.

From the Cato Institute; this one is worth reading. Topline: "nonpublic data from ICE indicate that the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind." Don't let their lies dominate the narrative. www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

In case it wasn’t already obvious. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

We are in the hands of a mentally unstable nut who is now threatening Russia with nuclear retaliation based on the midnight ramblings of a drunken fool in Russia.

Q: "If Iran shuts down the Straight of Hormuz, is there a plan by the U.S. to add oil to the global market?" Leavitt: "The Iranian regime would be foolish to make that decision."

Iran does exactly what was expected, so far. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Our air base in Qatar is under Iranian attack, but don’t worry because we have a former reality tv game show host criminal conman with the impulse control of a hangry toddler for a president and a day drinking weekend tv “news” pundit for a Secretary of Defense, so this is fine. Everything is fine.

Bove’s confirmation hearing for the 3rd Circuit is on Wednesday. His own former DOJ colleagues say they don’t trust him to be impartial. Watch the video & insist that your senators do too before they vote.

The US, the UK, and China have all issued shelter in place warnings for their embassies in Qatar. DHS issued a national terrorism advisory for the US until September 22. I’m not sure I like the golden age

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

Hunt: "Do you assess that the nuclear program has been eliminated?" President of Israel Isaac Herzog: "I can't say it's been eliminated. I can say it's been hit very hard, both by the Israeli attacks and absolutely by the American attacks overnight."

so basically we’ve got two options here: 1. Iran does not meaningfully respond and the stupidest assholes alive take a victory lap and think they can do this again with impunity 2. Iran does respond and the same stupid assholes escalate into god knows what great, wonderful, no notes

Resistance will take many forms in the days and months ahead.

We don’t know if we’re safer today—but we do know this president never made the case that Iran posed an imminent nuclear threat.

Absolutely, Joel thank you Yes, that was Obama ONE & DONE NO, He lit the fuse

HANDS OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS! Rep. Melanie Stansbury is sounding the alarm: Senate Republicans are trying to sneak a massive public land sell-off into reconciliation. Millions of acres—gone to developers. Even in crisis, we fight back. Call your senators. Raise hell. 🌲⛰️ @repstansbury.bsky.social

Iran saved Russia as it was about to collapse with drones and missiles. FYI

I remember when our Military wasn't run by a disgraced Fox host and a convicted felon who is beholden to Russia. It was 6 months ago.

Some thoughts on the current situation with Iran. Screenshot from the bad place.

I served 10 years in the USAF. Morale, at this moment, is incredibly low. The elephant in the room is we hardly have enough people volunteering to serve relative to the MASSIVE need. Knee jerk decisions like LA and now Iran don’t help. Few want to be forced to do something questionable.

KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

The number of times I've thought about this exchange in the past week.

Trump’s definitely itching to use a nuke

Damn right!!!

“He has always worked hard to put food on the table for us and my mom,” said Alejandro. “He was always careful and always did his taxes on time. He never caused any problems and he is known as a kind and helping person by everyone in our community.” santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...

He was humiliated on No Kings Day, so he bombed a country to self-soothe.

Wallace: To hear him do his “bit” about it—it’s trivializing the gravest part of the job. And to think about him actually being in that capacity again, as the country’s only commander-in-chief? It’s tragic. It’s really one of the most tragic parts of having him back as president

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

I'm not enjoying the reboot of the "Unprovoked War in the Middle East" reality TV show. It's just as pointless, but the actors are even stupider. And, frankly, I didn't think that would be possible.

I’m a U.S. Army combat veteran! I did not spend time away from my family for the bullshit going on in this country! I took an oath to defend the constitution against enemies foreign and domestic! Right now the enemy is domestic sitting at the White House! We stand with immigrants!

HIMES: “I had not seen any intelligence as a member of the gang of eight to suggest that Iran had taken the decision to build a weapon. I don't think there's any intelligence out there that suggests that that's true.”

Due process!

Oliver North on Fox News complaining that Iran has missiles is... I mean, do they even know who the fuck he is and what he did? He sold Iran missiles!

Remember that video of the masked men who grabbed a man working as a landscaper, was pepper sprayed, violently pinned to the ground and repeatedly struck by unidentified masked men?! His name is Narciso Barranco, and he’s the father of three United States Marines. His sons are very upset.

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. The Supreme Court will issue orders tomorrow that could affect this number. Stay tuned.

Voice of America journalists are fearful after Kari Lake guts network "They see people working for international networks as a spy," a West African VoA journalist tells me about his home country. "I can just disappear, you know? They could kidnap me or [I could] go to jail." / cont

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

The Circus just went full on Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey. 🎪 🤡 #Resist #NoKings
