I deactivated my account months ago and had no intention of coming back. But HCR says that hiding in my little corner of world isn't helping. She claims that social media can make a difference.. I guess we will see. 🚫 DM's

"Our CNN security correspondent...said, just from a law enforcement perspective, Secretary Noem's security acted appropriately at the beginning.. trying to keep you away or get you out of the room, because you interrupted her press conference." If it were a reporter????? WTF is wrong with CNN

We, the people, have spoken!

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

One of the most important things that Ds need to take away from yesterday is that, collectively, there is a lot more blue out there than red, so stop thinking "States" and start thinking "people". Fight passionately, and fight for everyone.

Weingarten: Their attacks on public education are relentless and why? Because they fear knowledge. Why do they fear teachers? They fear us because we teach critical thinking… their brand of greed, power, and privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse educated citizens

For all the white people saying "we can't even trust police anymore": Black people in this country have NEVER been able to trust the police. EVER.

This is devastating.

Another masterpiece from HCR... extremely fitting read for this morning...

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated racist rapist Trump did.

A combat veteran from Kāneʻohe asked me: How is it we're refighting battles we already won? This National Women Veterans Day, we must recognize that this administration is unraveling decades of progress and betraying women who have served our country. It's shameful, and we will not be silent.

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

🌈 LGBTQ+ Spotlight: Jesús Ociel Baena Mexico’s first openly non-binary magistrate, Jesús Ociel Baena, blazed trails for justice and queer visibility across Latin America. Found dead in Aguascalientes, their loss is a devastating reminder of the risks LGBTQ+ leaders face. 🕯️ #Pinks #Pride

A friend just texted to congratulate me on a forthcoming project, about which she learned from ChatGPT. Never mind that I am ... not currently writing a book on the divine feminine... ? Again, again, again: AI is bad and wrong and won't give you accurate info, friends. It's not a search engine.

NYC mayoral candidates Mamdani and Lander are cross-endorsing in an effort to block Cuomo's front-runner bid.

Everyone going out to protest tomorrow, I want you to above all BE SAFE!!! Check out my latest about how to make sure your time exercising your first amendment right is done safely and effectively!! open.substack.com/pub/harrydun...

Jodi Ernst says “Kids die too”

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

Read these words from Senator Murray, who has said it so well tonight. We’re in danger of losing democracy. Don’t ignore what’s happening. joycevance.substack.com/p/we-are-a-d...

Excited to see that black people performing country music are only eligible for 3/5ths of a Grammy

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely *political* reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.

Delany Hall looking not good...

I am Democrat Shawn Harris. I am a husband, father, retired General and farmer. I have announced my candidacy to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene and I know we will together. Her hate and conspiracies do not belong in Congress. Let’s end the chaos together. Share and join me in this fight:

The court just confirmed what we all know: The military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets. End the unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles now, Donald Trump. Refusing to do so will only confirm your authoritarian tendencies. The country is watching.

Kristi Noem has that rare ability to shoot her dog in the face and it *still* not be the worst thing she ever did in her sorry, lying life.

Got a little snarky below, but to be serious: It should absolutely alarm everyone in Maine's CD-2 that their elected representative's response to Gestapo tactics from a wannabe dictator is to blame the guy who got manhandled and handcuffed for trying to ask a question. #MEpolitics

Think of ICE as one of those crooked Florida police departments in small towns that pulls over *thousands* of drivers on I-95 for *any* reason to meet quotas for tickets. Stephen Miller has given ICE quotas for arrests and they will meet those quotas whether the arrestees deserve it or not.

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

Probably sounded a lot less bootlickivich in the original Russian
