Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Despite the dangers to both animals and humans, LAPD’s Mounted Platoon officers are required to receive only four weeks of equestrian training, as well as an additional week out in the field. By @marinamasako.bsky.social lataco.com/lapd-horses-...

And it's still just June...

DAWN PROJECT: “.. Musk’s ‘robotaxis’ are so pathetic that they require more attention and supervision than an infant. The only thing sabotaging Tesla’s robotaxi is the dangerous, defective and mentally unstable Full Self-Driving AI software running it." $TSLA dawnproject.com

Federal agents thought they could stay at LA-area hotels. Communities are trying to make sure they can’t. When feds checked into a Pasadena hotel, they didn’t expect 100s of protesters and a day laborers’ band, the tactic that kicked them out is spreading. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/fede...

Check out these baddies waging a psyops campaign outside the hotel where ICE agents were *trying* to sleep. Mariachi for the win!! 💃

Notice how there aren’t any caravans anymore and Abbott isn’t shipping immigrants to NY. Manufactured drama every election year.

There is still time to get your costumes ready for the Parade of Preventable Diseases at CDC! We’d like to formally invite @aidshealthcare.bsky.social to bring Phil the (Syphilis) Sore and @sfgov.sf.gov to bring the Healthy Penis.

1) Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said, " A few weeks ago, speaker Johnson said that there was a quote unquote, a moral component to this reconciliation bill. Now, I don't know that there is any religion on Earth

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

Moulton: I have heard that a lot of officers are considering resigning their commissions because they question whether this is constitutional—whether they’re violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not the president, by carrying out these orders. These are active discussions

It's just a matter of how deeply Medicaid and SNAP will be cut by magas...We need to rally the phones to let them know our minds!: www.senate.gov/senators/ www.house.gov/representati... US Capitol Switchboard: 202-324-3121... @5calls.org

When Trump's Treasury Secretary worked for George Soros, he would always rail against the deficit. Now he's pushing to blow up the deficit with tax breaks for billionaires like him while kicking 16 million people off their health care. I asked him what changed.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Yesterday at Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in Seattle barriers were built with scooters and bikes in front of the buildings garage exit. This comes as it was announced today that ICE will be deploying tactical teams to 5 cities in the US to assist in “mass deportations”

This is from Farron Balanced.. When the Convicted FElon mobilized the California National Guard he did it in a way that the Federal government doesn't have to provide food or lodging for these soldiers. Instead of activating them for 30 days rotation, he only gives 29 days rotation. 👇

All fire! No filler!🔥🔥🔥

Every single Republican voted against my amendment to the VA funding bill to guarantee back pay to VA employees who were wrongfully fired and then rehired. The Administration has admitted that firing them was a mistake. Why should they lose paychecks as a result?

This absolutely unhinged exchange is a lawyer for the Texas AG's office arguing that it's totally fine for there to be bugs crawling around in prison food. Amazing stuff.

Remember, "The first country the Nazis invaded was Germany."

Is the National Democratic Party salvageable? Whose interests do they really serve?

The federal administration should be working with local leaders to keep everyone safe, not mobilizing the military against the American people. We oppose these unlawful actions.   Full statement here: www.mass.gov/news/ag-camp...

Any form of voter suppression, direct or indirect, is by definition anti-democratic, unconstitutional, and un-American. There is no middle ground. There is no compromise.

youtu.be/baR4logaaOQ?... Jimmy Kimmel last night talks about what’s actually happening in Los Angeles for those who believe the city is some kind of totalitarian hellscape…

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

These are the images yam tits doesn't want you to see #LosAngelesProtests

If you think slashing Medicaid or the ACA only hurts ‘other people,’ sorry to break it to you—you’ve been duped. Call Congress and urge them not to make any healthcare cuts: 866-426-2631.

The “Op-Ed Nurses” @nurseteria.bsky.social @donnagaffney.bsky.social publish again! In this piece, they warn about the impact of RFK Jr.’s approach on fluoride. “At a time when trust in public health is already under strain, we need leaders who protect what works.“ progressive.org/op-eds/rfk-j...

Day 56. 🇺🇸

It is the fascist take-over. Same basic plan as Hitler followed.

"...that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic..." So, "lethal precision" against "ALL" enemies. Interesting.

A 24y/o Dem pulled off a landslide win to secure a seat in the S. Carolina House. Scott ran on a campaign of improving access to health care, quality education, workforce empowerment, & expanding infrastructure. His victory extends the party’s “overperformance streak” this year.

People who argue for "turning" or "recruiting" musk are only interested in power and how to get it, not in doing what is right, moral, or ethical. They are DINOs, GOP-ers trying to wear democratic covering.

He can only survive if he surrounds himself with like-minded people; people who owe him big time.

Who are we as a country? Do we support this?? "Religious values" means kick the poor and needy when they are down? Did the Good Samaritan piss on the injured traveler? Do we really have to turn into a complete shit-hole country to please the billionaires?

Why is it that every time the Right gets their grubby paws on the controls, everything goes to shit in the stupidest possible way? Are there any examples of successful and effective democratic conservative governments beyond anything but the honeymoon period?

"It's for the children!" We can use the argument fascists use to justify undermining privacy and 4th Amendment protections.

The disastrous Citizens United decision put a for-sale sign on our democracy and has permitted $15 BILLION in outside spending since 2010. Our campaign finance system is broken, and if we want to fix it, we need to #EndCitizensUnited.

It's getting harder not to sympathize with the idea that ACAB.
