Keep it going‼️‼️‼️🇺🇲 substack.com/@50501/note/...

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

Oh wow I missed this one! Along with Randi, me, and Leah, I can see @timothysnyder.bsky.social, Rabbi Kleinbaum, @ruwaromman.bsky.social, @publiccitizen.bsky.social's Rob Weissman, @arndreaking.bsky.social, MLK III, and around 100,000 Americans showing up in defense of democracy! Incredible.

As Americans we have the right to receive medical care regardless of party, marital status, race and gender. But trump’s EO will allow Drs in the VA to refuse to treat Democrats and unmarried veterans, yes you read that right. I’m sure Trump will be sued for this disturbing & unconstitutional rule.

Pay attention Catholics!! Bishop Michael Fam of San Diego who was appointed by Pope Leo XIV has made a heartfelt appeal to all religious leaders and people of faith to show up to court on June 20, National Refugee Day to show support in solidarity! Please share this. 💙🙏

Holy shit, this is unspeakably astute & GOOD:

I lost my dad on Father’s Day 2019. Doesn’t matter how long the time goes by, it’s never any easier for me. I’m grateful for the gift of my wonderful father. He was the best of us. Happy Father’s Day to you amazing dads, father figures, and folks who are stepping up in all of the ways. ♥️

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

“To be called ‘woke’ in a world that sleeps through suffering is no insult." Pope Leo XIV

Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America. On the one hand, Trump's low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million). On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say: Here, we have no kings.

when 4-5M people march peacefully against the current regime it's the story of the year. NYT cannot bring itself to focus on that reality.

It's not America we hate, it's America's current president and his corrupt band of incompetent cronies.

Mockery is my favorite!

This Father’s Day, I’m thinking of the families torn apart by Trump’s cruel deportation policies. Innocent kids are paying the price — simply because their dads showed up for work, were near a Home Depot, or were in the wrong place at the wrong time. This cruelty must end.

This is the military carrying out law enforcement, I'm sorry, there's no other way to interpret it.

Margaret Brennan is fundamentally wrong on the claim that public approval of mass deportations is "so high." It has never been above 60%, and has been below 50% in multiple recent polls. There is no world in which that counts as "so high."

Today is a good day to reevaluate where you get your news from. How did your news sources describe Trump’s pathetic parade? How did they describe the protests? Did they lie about the crowd sizes? Or did they tell the truth? These moments can be really clarifying.

I think a good rule of thumb is if your preferred source of news referred to yesterday's protest as "tens of thousands" and not "millions", you need to find a different news source.

Also, how this is included in history textbooks is really important. The Tea Party is discussed now in most major U.S. history textbooks, and it even appears in the World Civilizations (!) textbook that we use on my campus. It's afforded that much significance.

#Resist #ProudBlue Is this what we have come to as a nation? I wonder what could have caused all those short tempers? Perhaps the chaos brought to us by #Felon47 & his administration, aided by the lack of sensible gun control laws? Tennessee seems to be a pretty dangerous place to live.

#NoKings

This is my favorite sign from Seattle #NoKings March. It’s 100% Pacific Northwest mood 😁

Happy Father's Day to all the good fathers out there. Obama said it right 👍

The most important job I have is being a dad to our two wonderful kiddos, Natalie and Josh — and I’m blessed and lucky beyond words to be their father. Happy Father’s Day to the all the dads across Colorado!

I hope it’s driving him even crazier than he already is! 😏Thank you Sandy! Great find @sandywolf.bsky.social

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

(🧵) I’ve never—in 30 years in journalism—published a report like this: one that could genuinely bring hope. I spent the last 15 hours curating and labeling photos from hundreds of No Kings Day protests. It’s the largest archive of its kind and it has *lots* of Easter eggs (memes, an essay and more).

Here’s what DHS secretary’s call to 'liberate' a US city really means — according to experts www.alternet.org/the-right-wi...

Happy 250th birthday to U.S. Army! 🇺🇸 The brave men and women of our Army are the real heroes we should be celebrating. Not a wannabe king who throws himself a $40 million birthday parade.

The scale of the rally in Portland is MASSIVE. Simultaneously crossing the Morrison and Hawthorne Bridges in one long parade of democracy. Tens of thousands of people. #NoKings

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯
