What an unbelievable disgrace. The National Archives belong to the people.

VEASEY: You've credited the 12 steps in your recovery. What's step 4? RFK JR: Making a fearless inventory VEASEY: Of ourselves. Do you remember step 12? RFK JR: We try to help other addicts VEASEY: Does cutting off treatment from people still suffering align with step 4 or step 12?

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Miasma having a moment

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

There were about 2,500 people (conservatively) at Cora Roberson Park this morning, and at least another 1,500 up and down Depot, 6th and Main. #TomorrowTherellBeMoreOfUs #NoKings #Gainesville

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

"The HHS document says that another paper it cites found 'an increase in placental blood clotting in pregnant mothers who took the vaccine.' But the paper doesn't contain any reference to placental blood clots or to pregnant women." www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

I would say he follows her around like a puppy dog but so far he has survived.

“OMG they’re rioting in L.A.!!” Meanwhile, in the beautiful landscape that is Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles. 💙

hahah it's 6 am and i'm already furious

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Perfect response. Ignore the National Guard areas and go to the peaceful protests or even a freedom concert

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters fill the streets of Raleigh, North Carolina for a protest against Donald Trump and ICE (Video: James DeAlto)

Is there a long 19th-century-ish book you'd like to review? Or have you written one? We've got an editor for that! Meet Nathan Bossoh @nathanbossoh.bsky.social - book reviews editor here at Advances in Nineteenth-Century Research.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

BREAKING: ICE is preparing to deploy tactical units to five cities run by Democratic leaders, according to two sources familiar with the planning of future ICE operations.

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

Ron DeSantis’s wife is running a dodgy nonprofit that’s under investigation — by members of the governor’s own party. So … a Florida state agency is now ordering the Orlando Sentinel to “cease and desist” from further reporting. Seriously. 1/2 apnews.com/article/orla...

Better the bear than Jabba the Trump. I stand with California. Fuck fascist wannabe dictators.

Definitely need the National Guard to quell this... insurrection of... line dancing?

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

Meanwhile he did not call out the national guard on January 6th when thousands of people violently invaded the US Capitol, some of whom were chanting “Hang Mike Pence.”

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

If you’ve read Fiona’s book, about the miraculous series of opportunities that led a girl from a coal town in N England to be one of America’s top Russian policy advisers, you’ll understand how much the series of events that sent her back to the UK saddens me www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

LAPD helicopter circling immigrant rights protesters behind the pride month rainbow-lit city hall

met this thing for the very first time yesterday at @peoplesbooktakoma.com— a weird feeling, truthfully, to see eight years of your life condensed into a 1-pound stack of paper. But it is very pretty & I hope some of you guys like it 🌿

SecState Rubio claims that no on has died because of USAID cuts and suggested that I had lied in my reporting. So here I show him photos of specific children who have died because of the Trump administration's reckless cancelation of aid: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

Welp.

BREAKING: Texas lawmakers passed S.B. 37, which dramatically increases state control of public universities. Allowing politically appointed bureaucrats to police curricula and override faculty expertise is a direct threat to academic freedom in Texas.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 78 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (& today a video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Donald Trump, more detached from reality than ever, just shared an unhinged QAnon post saying former President Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by clones.
