Make your voice heard June 14, 2025 In cities and towns all over the country. Be there!

This is such an NYT headline. (Starship's "mixed record" includes zero successful missions)

Tom Homan has definitely committed fraud, at least tax fraud if nothing else. www.codastory.com/disinformati...

Andry Hernandez and hundreds of other people have been imprisoned without trial in El Salvador for over 70 days now, held incommunicado at U.S. expense in conditions worse than any Supermax prison.

My latest for @theappeal.org: James Carver spent 36 years in prison after he was convicted of setting one of the deadliest fires in #Massachusetts history. But after reviewing new scientific evidence, a judge set him free. “They took my life away for nothing,” Carver said.

What work is the ACLU doing to defend immigrants’ due process rights? I’m joined by Cecillia Wang from @aclu.org‬ on a new episode of @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider while @preetbharara.bsky.social is out. Listen: cafe.visitlink.me/52k2aj

The U.S. State Department pauses new student visa appointments to expand social media screening, potentially impacting international students

A Boston-based federal judge lambasted the Trump administration for misrepresenting his order and falsely attacking him Monday, amid a dispute over the administration’s illegal effort to deport undocumented men to South Sudan without first giving them due process.

God gets it.

Something lurking in the background of this story is the horrific reality that a lot of people who are forced into psychiatric imprisonment will be sent there by family members seeking to exert control over them. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

this is monstrous but it's also just not true. i know that gets lost but the permission structure here is "other countries do this," so it's at least worth acknowledging: no they don't.

It looks like someone has hacked a crosswalk button in Palo Alto to deliver at least two different messages in the voice of Elon Musk. (They are not complimentary)

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

Even though the market rises because of the tariffs pause, the cost associated with the rest of the world realizing they can’t count on us not to be nuts will be immeasurable and far-reaching. 🇺🇸

"Who could have predicted this?" say the people who spent the past year dismissing or mocking those who predicted this.

Cuz they don’t exist

Trump tells his buddies: "Hey guys, make sure you buy stocks now before I go on TV and reverse my tariff orders, you'll make lotsa money!'

by my count, we are now up to three trump-era dissents in which a liberal justice has pointed to korematsu as a warning www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story

Good work by one of my Senators. I mean, it shouldn't be necessary in the first place, but here we are, so here we are.

Dow is down 1500 points in 1 day

The Confederates are running the government and unsurprisingly the people who insisted upon propping up an unsustainable system of human trafficking and forced labor with permanent expansion have political descendants with the same impulse for self-destruction

I just keep coming back to: *one person* should not be able to make a unilateral decision that affects *the whole world*.

so to be absolutely clear: the black man hired for the job did it competently for four years, only to be replaced by the unqualified white guy who has careened from fuck up to fuck up think ive got that right.

He always projects

Elon Musk staffers are drawing six-figure government salaries funded by taxpayers.

Armed government agents went to the home of a lawful resident of the United States without a warrant and arrested him over the content of his speech. This is a five-alarm fire for civil liberties.

House Dem leaders: read the fucking room. We WANT disruption. There’s no such thing as respectability politics anymore. Failure to disrupt = obsequiousness.

I agree

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

Listen up folks. I have been preaching every single day that time is short and the clock is ticking. Listen to how the Philippines were taken over within 6 months with a government identical to ours.

People have really been overlooking the first point. The EO is trying to destroy Perkins Coie by eliminating its client base. Any company that has a federal contract cannot do business with the firm. This is a targetted revenge attack designed to put a law firm out of business.

Wowsers. San Diego City Council President Joe LaCava has docketed a vote next Tuesday to repeal the city’s ADU bonus program. Earlier today, the item was to *rescind* the council’s repeal request in order to neutralize a Brown Act complaint. Background: www.kpbs.org/news/local/2...
