Cuts to FEMA's storm prep program hammer communities that voted for Trump: A CBS News investigation found two-thirds of counties that have lost funding from this FEMA program supported Trump in the 2024 election. www.cbsnews.com/femagrantcuts/

Good morning bluesky!

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

F ICE

They’re banning gender care for kids by screaming about “sex change surgeries.” That’s a lie. No one’s cutting up children. It’s puberty blockers. It’s hormones. It’s reversible. They know the truth. They just don’t care. The cruelty is the point. #TransRights

With everything else going on, the Senate sent the Big 💩 Bill back to the House, and made some changes. Here’s one:

“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.

Gov Gavin Newsom’s TikTok page is 🔥

SOUTH CAROLINA, PLEASE VOTE THIS ASSHOLE OUT!!!

❤️❤️

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

If you encounter ICE, follow this script 👊

Asked if he’s called Gov. Tim Walz after the Minnesota shootings—carried out by one of his own supporters—Trump snaps: “I’m not calling him. He’s a mess. Why waste time?” No remorse. No leadership. Just deflection and insults.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Because I'm seeing so many people talking about an incoming pardon from Trump for the Minnesota shooter, remember that POTUS cannot pardon a state crime. That power is held by the governor, Tim Walz.

Stephen Miller looks like he sleeps inside the husk of a long-deceased birthday clown

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

The neighborhood is getting ready for tomorrow

What’s happening in NJ? “Four detainees at Newark facility have escaped” Here’s what they’re not telling us: People held at Delaney Hall Detention Center went nearly 24 hours without food or adequate water. When they were finally fed, all they received were a couple slices of bread.

Do you agree Trump should be impeached and removed? Tell Congress that here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Let's send 500 letters to Congress by midnight demanding they call out Trump's abuse of power with the National Guard. Congressional offices are closed but their inboxes aren't. Let's go! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

These agitators have been organized by Trump to turn peaceful No Kings protests into deadly riots so he a score political points. It's disgusting. It's anti-American. And it's impeachable. Proud Boys and Other Far-Right Groups Buzz With Violent Talk on How to Respond to ‘No Kings’ Protest - WSJ

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

BREAKING: Trump’s National Guard deployment in LA is illegal, a judge ruled. The judge’s order instructs Trump to return control of the troops to Newsom. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out after our last post. We’ve received even more footage of police and ICE brutality. Tonight, the LAPD opened a formal investigation.

The internet is forever. 😎 Go to nokings.org and find a June 14th event near you. #FreedomToDissent

Happening now at the maine state house - Maine farmers are rallying together ✊

“Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but they do not stop there.” @governor.ca.gov delivered a #CupOfJoe that took aim at Felon Trump’s authoritarian regime. Pay attention. We are #DemsUnited. There are #NoKings.

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

Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.

The caption of this video said “Omaha Police take a knee for protesters”. I can’t find any other information. If you find something, please let me know.
