Today's GOP has given us tax cuts for the wealthy and the Jan. 6 terrorist attack.

EX NASHVILLE ICE AGENT: “They are destroying any trust they may have had with the local immigrant population.” Ben says any chance of immigrants helping lawn enforcement catch the actual violent criminals is gone. Endangering everyone. Full: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjtWgSNE/

“Just hire Americans” assumes there’s a line of native-born citizens begging to do drywall in 100 degree heat for $17/hr with no benefits. Spoiler: there’s not. If you think you’re solving a labor shortage, you’re just cheering empty construction sites.

What's next? Here's some information from Erica Chenoweth's research. "...contemporary movements tend to over-rely on mass demonstrations while neglecting other techniques—such as general strikes and mass civil disobedience—that can more forcefully disrupt a regime’s stability."

So after terrorizing communities and ripping families apart with ICE raids at farms and restaurants, DHS is suddenly “pausing” because of labor gaps? Wild how the war on undocumented immigrants stops the second your rosé doesn’t pour itself and your salad’s missing veggies.

One of the most common mistakes in casting TV shows is to go with an actor who isn’t right for the role, simply because (s)he is a “known quantity,” while ignoring a much better option who is not. In unrelated news, Andrew Cuomo is running for mayor of NY, and he sucks.

We don't need to "deter" Russia, we don't need to "contain" Russia. We need to DEFEAT Russia.

Over 75% of folks in ICE custody this year had no criminal record beyond immigration or traffic issues. Less than 10% had serious convictions. Fear sells, but facts matter. #ImmigrationTruth

The Times questioning Zohran’s experience kinda just boils down to ideology & racism but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing they’d write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas.

The Atlantic piece on Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo is full of holes. Mamdani's proposals are picked apart and labeled unrealistic while Cuomo's supposed goals aren't even elaborated on. Cuomo is "an asshole, but he's our asshole"—the New Yorkers who he has sexually harassed might think otherwise

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

Russians proposed exchanging Ukrainian children, who were illegally taken from the occupied territories, for Russian soldiers,– said President Volodymyr Zelensky. "To be honest, this is madness. It’s simply beyond comprehension and beyond international law."

New York Times Editorial Board August 2024: We will not be making any more local endorsements. This specifically includes the coming mayor's race. New York Times Editorial Board June 2025: Do not vote for Zohran Mamdani, we prefer Andrew Cuomo and Brad Lander.

Russia mixed their dead with ours🤯 During the latest exchange of fallen soldiers' remains, Russia didn't just hand over the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers. They also included the remains of their own soldiers, all mixed together in one batch. Minister of Internal Affairs, Ihor Klymenko, reported

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

living in Kyiv be like: after night of explosions and Russian drones flying around you building, but thanks to air defense it’s new day, you are still here, so you get up and go get yourself cup of coffee ☕️

If you rank Zohran 1st you’re voting to make every New York Times Opinion writer insane for several years.

My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

Minnesota Democrats have consistently worked to make the state one of the most livable in the country, and someone was mad enough about it to shoot them, and this, in a nutshell, is our current political climate.

If we don’t collapse into a post-apocalyptic Orwellian Handmaid’s Tale of climate-driven road warriors, I can kind of see No Kings Day becoming a holiday one day.

Ruling class is abandoning us to the climate change they created

President Zelensky: “The Americans asked us not to strike Russia’s energy infrastructure—shortly after, Russia launched a combined attack on our energy facilities in Kremenchuk.”

This is your reminder that Adriana Smith is still on life support against her family’s wishes even though she is dead, because, in Georgia, women are incubators.

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Are the two people who drove their cars into people yesterday and the person who shot at people in Utah all white men? The person who murdered Democratic politicians yesterday was. Are we allowed to connect the dots? Will be media write exposes asking why white men are so violent? Or no?

“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

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

The most fragile time during the rise fascism is at the beginning, before the roots spread and are harder to remove. That time is now. Act with the urgency it rightfully deserves.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

They’re liberating Californians from their government just like Putin is liberating Ukrainians from theirs

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Seriously, this is what the country is dealing with right now.

Imagine if Alejandro Mayorkas had had Ted Cruz manhandled, thrown to the ground and cuffed cuz he said something he didn't like like Noem just did to Sen. Padilla.
