"War is always a defeat!" #PopeFrancis

And without due process this Georgia-born American citizen spends the rest of his life disappeared in a jail in Jamaica. Do you get it yet?

Look, I’m not particularly a Harvard booster, but this is the start of a damn cure for type one diabetes. This is the kind of research Trump has killed. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/h...

“Americans are being forced to accept masked paramilitary forces stopping you anytime, anywhere—demanding to know where people are from,” says Chris Hayes. “It is an assault on the idea of America itself.”

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

This is tonight, Houston! Come hang out. @murderbooks.bsky.social

We have become something horrible.

Transgender people deserve to dictate our own lives and futures. No court decision can change who we know we are.

Hard to argue with that.

“Where is it? Where is the warrant?” Watch NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander detained at an immigration court⬇️

Now this is interesting.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

Great double feature.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

Hell yeah!

Why, it contains no king.

Boston's No Kings parade tomorrow would have clashed with the Pride Parade so the city has decided to lump everything together and call it "NO KINGS, but YAAAAS Queen!" Go Boston!

A nice interview setting up my event in Santa Cruz, Tuesday. www.goodtimes.sc/christopher-...

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.

This is how you report on this shit deadline.com/2025/06/alex...

Sen. Mark Kelly: "What happened today to Sen. Padilla was outrageous. It was violent. It's a scary thing to see happen in the United States of America...The Trump administration has arrested a mayor, a member of congress, and a labor leader...That is not who we are as a country."

ppl probably already know this but if you plan to protest this week or weekend remember to turn off face id on your phone and set a numerical passcode. also wear boots

As Sen Padilla was being shoved and handcuffed, Kristi Noem was saying "We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

This is a US Senator.

Notice she's not talking about "criminals" anymore. Now they're onto who they perceive as their enemies, including the people *we* elected. They want to use L.A. to show they can force liberal cities into submission.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled there's no legitimate basis for Mahmoud Khalil's continued detention, and that it's unconstitutional for the Trump administration to use vague foreign policy grounds to deport people. This is a win for free speech. We won't stop fighting until Mahmoud is released.

My heart hurts.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Kimmel is doing a better job right now than ABC News. I hope he saw the Terry Moran stuff and decided to go extra hard tonight in response youtu.be/baR4logaaOQ?...

This friend speaks my mind.

A few days ago, Musk called for Trump to be impeached and suggested he was involved in pedophilia. Then Trump threatened to terminate Musk's federal contracts. Now Musk is back to promoting Trump.

Cities often take people's belongings like birth certificates, family photos, and even parents' ashes when conducting encampment sweeps. Stealing people’s personal and treasured items does nothing to solve homelessness.

A reminder that private prison companies contributed more than $1 million to Trump's reelection. The CEO of GEO Group, one of the two biggest private detention corporations, said his company could make $400 million more every year under Trump in partnership with ICE.

Palestinian photojournalist Abdel Rahim Khudr breaks down after discovering the loss of 48 family members in an Israeli air attack that hit his home in northern Gaza on the first day of Eid al-Adha.

More than 10,000 people in Los Angeles, California marched against the Trump regime and his ICE ethnic cleansing operations targeting US communities and families nationwide. #3E #StopICE (🎥 @btnewsroom.bsky.social )

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

Today marks three months since masked federal agents unlawfully took our client Mahmoud Khalil into ICE custody in retaliation for his pro-Palestinian advocacy. Every day Mahmoud is detained is another day that his civil liberties — and all of our First Amendment rights — are under attack.

I'm confused as to why we don't have democrats on every news show demanding an immediate investigation into the president’s participation in sex trafficking of minors.

Please elected democrats, please media, please call out the lies. Please make a big deal about it.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

LIVE FEED: L.A. protesters are constructing barricades, dozens arrested, sound of flashbang grenades widespread.

This kid speaks my mind.
