Truth is hard for the GOP.

#GVerse #PayAttention - If you are concerned that you may be illegally abducted and then tortured in a prison in El Salvador… DO NOT attend the FIFA World Cup.

You guys won’t say shit without that Mask

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 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

You kidnap mothers on the street and leave their young children alone and crying. You think this is funny. God wants to know, how dare you call yourselves Christians?

Hahaha.

If we're having a conversation, and you say "I seen...," please know that I'm no longer listening to anything that you're saying.

The Dodgers announce they are donating $1 million toward direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region, with more announcements to come.

I love this. You’ll probably love it too. These J6 bounty hunter punks cosplaying as ICE agents think they have the upperhand everywhere. Drunk on power, but nope. They’re cowards.

Just a reminder that Republicans in Congress could put a stop to this at any time.

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Oh, how I long to read it

Abolish ICE. Abolish Homeland Security. Abolish CBP.

The Social Security trust fund could be depleted by 2033, according to a new report from its trustees. There's a simple way to fix this: scrap the cap on the Social Security payroll tax. https://youtu.be/GfZuB7XSFys?si=p8Zw3o6MIfQi9xoo

Probably sold it to Putin

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

Happy Juneteenth! Today commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. It’s a day to celebrate Black strength, resiliency, and joy. But as Trump tries to reverse progress, we all need to recognize how his cruelty disproportionately impacts Black Americans. 1/

Why?

My guess is a higher percentage of ICE agents have criminal records than the people they are detaining.

👀

I do.

You know what’s more American than installing 88 foot flag poles at the White House? Following the Constitution.

ICE agents are facing a 413% increase in violence against them. Imagine being the devil incarnate and people not liking you.

If you think a retrograde bully and serial sex pest like Andrew Fuckup Cuomo is the best hope for the future of the Democratic Party, go ahead and load your pockets with stones and walk into the Hudson River.

San Francisco judge: "there is literally nothing in law allowing the president to seize the national guard whenever he feels like for whatever excuse he conjures up" Appeals court: "actually, you have erred. Please do not ask for a legal explanation."

"We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief. Nor will we ever. Church and State are, and must remain, separate." --President Ronald Reagan, whom I usually never quote

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

This was a real post from 47 on Juneteenth.

I want to see Trump try to ride a bike.😂

You are so right,

Thank God for decent judges. They are our last line of defense against this attack on our democracy and Constitution.

"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...” www.bet.com/article/6rdn...

Great & important conversation about the conservative Supreme Court majority & the impact on our civil rights with @leahlitman.bsky.social

I couldn’t hate Mike Lee more. What a poor excuse for a human being,

This woman went full Paul Revere on her horn to alert the whole neighborhood that ICE was there.

In 2022, inspectors described a “cascade of failure” at one foreign factory. The FDA barred it from shipping drugs to the U.S. — then excused more than 20 drugs from the ban, despite risks to consumers.

Awesome.

Because it is.

Make ICE glitter

32C in SE England this weekend would - in the absence of global heating - only happen every 2500 years Now made 100x more likely The UK Met Offoce recently reported that 45C - even 47C - now possible in UK summers This is just the beginning folks www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

How Trump and the age of "crass, brutal politics" make extremist violence more likely
