This is the way.

Unfortunately, what we have become has been 8 years in the making. What Trump’s Gestapo/SS are doing now, is what (granted, on a smaller scale) Bill Barr’s secret police was doing 5 years ago during Floyd protests when organizers and leaders were being snatched and detained by people in black…

A transgender soldier who’s being pushed out of Army checked herself into hospital for suicidal thoughts. She arrived and found other suicidal transgender soldiers there too. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

Paying into Social Security & expecting to get that money back isn't depending on the government to support us. We were forced to pay into Social Security, but Republicans think giving our money to billionaires makes more sense. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

ICE agents or bounty hunters? A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today. What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

If you're not following Eric Rosen on #Bluesky -- you can change that! He's a real fight -- smart, tough and also very funny. But he's pissed and he stays on top of Musk and Trump every day -- and he's fighting for our democracy. Let's get him to 15,000 followers: erosen1.bsky.social

Tha FOOOOK is WRONG with this guy?!?!?!

“His family has a long history with addiction (as does mine): there is no shame in seeking help and working a program of recovery but you do not want people in active addiction anywhere near the Oval Office.”

He is screaming "help me" and "oh no" over and over and over.

There’s a lot more Brian Grazer’s in Hollywood than most folks think. Money talks. Sad.

Anyone who has worked around a lot of LE, no matter the agency or dept there’s a certain way officers carry themselves. Not to mention dress, none of the videos I see of ICE look like men who have ever been trained. You think details don’t matter, shoes don’t lie, but Trump does.

Coco Gauff claims first French Open title after fightback floors Aryna Sabalenka

From @theathletic.bsky.social: Coco Gauff won the French Open, prevailing over the No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka in a tense and chaotic final match on Saturday. She is the first American woman to win on the clay since Serena Williams in 2015. nyti.ms/43OLRf7

The Trump administration is spending up to $2.1 million to investigate whether DEI causes plane crashes, @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social reports. Trump may be disappointed with the findings. https://theatln.tc/SW1xKwN5

A former Arkansas police chief and convicted murderer known as the “Devil in the Ozarks” was captured on Friday, less than two miles from a maximum-security prison from which he escaped on May 25, the authorities said.

"Past leaders have imagined the United States as a 'shining city upon a hill,' a melting pot, a 'beacon to the world.' Donald Trump is working toward a different vision: the United States as a fortress," @dgraham.bsky.social writes in the Atlantic Daily:

When people think of Social Security, they typically think of monthly benefits. But efforts by DOGE this year to access the Social Security Administration’s data systems should conjure up thoughts of data on hundreds of millions of people. cnn.it/4kVt8Fz

The US Supreme Court permitted DOGE broad access to personal information on millions of Americans in Social Security Administration data systems while a legal challenge plays out reut.rs/43O2WWx

You can argue the merits of deporting Marcelo—a young man brought here at age 5—if you want to. But this is someone we should be proud to call American. He’s solid on every level. And if you’re really a Christian, you should be lifting him up, not casting him out. Listen w/an open mind—and heart.

The memory and achievements of Harvey Milk, Harriet Tubman, Thurgood Marshall, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and many other American trailblazers will endure long after the petty, vindictive sycophant Pete Hegseth and his boss disappear from the public stage. www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-r...

I'm a Democrat running in the special election for Virginia's 11th congressional seat. Running the same old Democratic playbook got us a 34 time felon in the White House. If you're ready for a new Democratic leader who is willing to shake up the script, share this post.

I just launched a new initiative to develop and implement agriculture-focused workforce training programs. As our farmers face historic uncertainty with tariffs, we’re making sure the next generation of Minnesota farmers have the resources they need to feed the world.

It’s official, it’s over. 😢

WOW. Breaking news from ABC that has the potential to cast serious doubts on today’s indictment of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

The justices also separately reined in orders seeking transparency at DOGE. So they get our data and we get no oversight of what they're doing. All three liberal justices dissented in both cases.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, is reportedly on his way back to the U.S. to face criminal charges

Chaos leads nowhere good.

The supervillain tech billionaires hinging their U.S. takeover plan on JD Vance was probably not the best idea, considering, well, JD Vance.

Immigration agents mistakenly detain deputy U.S. marshal in Tucson, feds confirm tucson.com/news/local/b... The Incompetence They detained one of their own ! Tucson, deputy U.S. Marshal detained Why If you look Hispanic you're a target ICE, IMMIGRATION THUGS Unbelievable Incompetence

There is no way he won all 7 swing states.

This glitchy, error-prone tool could get you deported—even if you’re a U.S. citizen.

Democrats — don’t even think about taking money from Elon Musk. It’s blood money.

America did not storm the beaches at Normandy alone on June 6, 1944. We had allies who fought with us. Allies from Britain, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and Poland. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...
