They shattered her car window. They cuffed her in front of her daughter. With no warrant. No charges. No evidence. No due process. We must demand Noemi’s release. #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump

A cherished member of the community. Gone. His popsicle cart was found abandoned in the street. #DisappearedInAmerica

Tattoos are not a crime. Being gay is not a crime. Seeking asylum is not a crime. Why is Andry in a mega-prison in El Salvador? #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump

25 June 1909 | German Jew, Rudolf Weingarten, was born in Leipzig. He emigrated to Italy. He was arrested in September 1943. He was transferred to Drancy and then deported to Auschwitz. In the camp from 10 December 1943. No. 167703 He perished there on 24 March 1944.

Goodnight all. I pray tonight for my neighbors, whether they be next door or in Gaza, Ukraine, Israel, Iran, South Sudan, or in all the other broken places. I pray for peace. I pray for truth. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

If you ever wonder if the fight is worth it, look at tonight. A billionaire-backed candidate—with every advantage, every insider rooting for him—lost to a campaign built on nothing but people power. The Democratic Party wanted to see him fail, but he won. And we will, too.

24 June 1881 | A German Jew, Rabbi Martin Salomonski, was born in Berlin. From 1910-25, rabbi of Frankfurt on the Oder, then rabbi of the New Synagogue in Berlin. In 1942, he was imprisoned in Theresienstadt, from where in 1944 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

24 June 1926 | A Polish Jewish girl, Dziunia Adela Ehrlich, was born in Sosnowiec. In May 1942 she was deported from ghetto in Sosnowiec to #Auschwitz. She was murdered in a gas chamber.

Goodnight all. I’m praying for peace tonight. War is a terrible thing. I’m praying for level heads. Prayers for Ukraine, for Gaza and South Sudan. The Big Lie is a lie, and the Big Liar is still lying. The Lord bless you and keep you!

If you think this moment is about one politician or one press conference, you’re missing the point. This is about speaking up for every single American and fighting for our constitutional rights.

This is an insurrection.

The media need to do their jobs; we as media consumers need to demand that they do their jobs.

Today I’m leading 152 House Democrats in challenging Trump's devastating cuts to life-saving NIH research grants. Congress—not Trump—controls federal spending. Trump must do his job, “faithfully execute” the laws and stop violating the Constitution to undercut public health.

⚡️Canada announces $1.5 billion in new military aid to Ukraine, sanctions targeting Russia at G7 summit. "To be absolutely clear, this support will be unwavering until we get a just peace for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people," Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on June 17.

Trump’s cuts to the NIH are stifling our ability to cure diseases and become a healthier nation. He’s cut $1 billion in research funding for Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular health, depression, STIs, and more. We must continue to push back and save these critical projects from the chopping block.

Governor Walz says State Senator John Hoffman, a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette, were also shot multiple times. The Hoffmans are out of surgery. Doctors are "cautiously optimistic that they will improve," according to another official.

Shooters were dressed like law enforcement and this is exactly why I’m pissed about ice officers wearing masks, driving unmarked cars and not being identifiable when they terrorize communities

Nashville. #NoKings

Images from Unity Park in Greenville, South Carolina during the “No Kings Protest.” Thousands gathered in solidarity with humanity, part of a nationwide protest across more than 1,600 cities. Held in honor of veterans and in direct opposition to Trump’s birthday parade in DC today.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Crowd sizes he could only dream of 💋✨️ #nokings #nokingsday

14 June 1886 | German Jewish woman, Jenny Strahl, was born in Berlin. She emigrated to Belgium. She was deported to #Auschwitz from Kazerne Dossin in Mechelen on 19 August 1942. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.

Sure as hell does.

Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in Minnesota.

When historians look back at this moment, they will see a regime attacking the democratic process with threats and violence, and a massive display of support for democracy. What will they see when they look for its coverage in the press?

Chicago congresswoman @repdeliaramirez hands Kristi Noem a letter of resignation and encourages her to use it 👀

In #FortWorth #Texas thousands have shown up to say we do NOT support Trump. #NoKingsDay

🔥🔥🔥

NEW: In the last few hours, Minnesota authorities warned people against attending protests, with a killer on the loose. This is the current view of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. DEFIANCE. 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Daviss)

Protest is a sign that democracy is ALIVE. It means people are united and angry and willing to stand up for what they believe in. If democracy was dead, people wouldn’t dare.

We had an awesome turn out at No Kings Day in Asheville, NC. #nokings, #nokingsday, #ashevillenc

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

⚡️ Ukrainian MiG-29 strikes Russian drone hub, ammo depot in Zaporizhzhia direction, releases video. The Air Force did not disclose the exact location of the strike but thanked international partners for providing the guided munitions used in the attack.

13 June 1937 | A Hungarian Jewish girl, Naomi Plattner, was born. In June 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Iran wouldn’t have enough enriched uranium to build a bomb if Trump and Republicans hadn’t pulled out of the Iran Nuclear deal that Obama had negotiated.
