❌👑 In nine days, we’re going to give Trump a big beautiful birthday gift: Nationwide protests that reject his authoritarianism. Let’s make No Kings Day even bigger and louder than Hands Off! Find an event near you and we will see you in the streets on June 14: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

50 years ago today, when Britain voted to remain in Europe (and not by a small majority but a large one), the Sun, Daily Mail, Telegraph, etc were not owned by three far-right Europhobes.

The dictator of one of the United States' enemies is using the President of the United States to announce military attacks on a United States ally.

Spoke to some people in Iowa, following Joni Ernst’s weekend comments Heard a lot about struggling rural hospitals — and the hit they’d take from the GOP bill “This is going to impact all of us” www.thebulwark.com/p/yes-people...

This administration thinks it can cancel Pride… Oh honeybuns. We never needed your permission in the first place. Pride started as a riot. If you keep encroaching on our rights, we’ll just go back to our roots. Hint: it involves bricks.

This is a very important read, and I encourage everyone doing any kind of movement work to get familiar with this history of surveillance, disruption and infiltration, and take proactive measures to prevent its repetition. open.substack.com/pub/antiauth...

Significant ruling by Judge Boasberg for men sent to CECOT prison. "The Government must facilitate the Class’s ability to seek habeas relief to contest their removal under the Act." Important moment for the rule of law and against government lawlessness. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“.. I work in Toys and we had about 600 price changes in the last couple days... EVERYTHING went up," one user posted last week. “It's f***ing crazy." @the-independent.com $WMT $TGT www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Moskowitz: "Nothing has been made more efficient. Here are the wins for congressional Rs. You ready? They're gonna do a $9b recession bill. They're gonna get rid of Elmo, which the American people were clamoring for, but they're gonna add $2.4t for the debt. And then they want us to cheer for them."

This exchange is revealing, terrifying, and intellectually bankrupt. No world leader would ever want to enter a room to deal with this guy because he's a crank.

🤦‍♀️

What happened to Gavin Newsome? 🤷‍♀️ He's not getting MY vote. I want President Pete!

👏👏👏👏👏

If @MarshaBlackburn is pushing a law to make it illegal to name ICE agents… doesn’t that mean it isn’t currently illegal? So what are she and @AndyOgles investigating Mayor O’Connell for exactly? 🤷🏻‍♂️ (Also: if ICE agents are this ashamed, maybe stop?) nypost.com/2025/06/04/u...

I never thought America would become an anti-immigrant nation with masked and unidentified armed people zip tying children, tackling old women and deporting American citizens in an effort to “make America great again”.

The Department of Justice is now just another part of the Republican voter suppression war machine. I will do everything I can to "thwart" its efforts to under free and fair elections.

Sen. Chris Murphy says Trump's new travel ban is meant to distract from the unpopular Republican budget bill: "You distract people by making them think they're at war with other Americans, making them think they have something to fear from people who look different or speak a different language."

"You did not engage with parents. You did not engage with our PTA. You did not engage with the union." #Florida school board members grill superintendent over his removal of 600 books from library shelves. www.tampabay.com/news/educati... via @tampabaytimes.bsky.social

Cole Schmidtknecht, 22, had insurance but couldn’t afford to refill his asthma inhaler after the cost jumped from $70 to more than $500. Five days after his pharmacy visit last year, Cole had a severe asthma attack and died.

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries. Now she's running for state house. eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

This! Bravo @profgalloway.com!

Everything he touches turns to ashes.

The disastrous Citizens United decision put a for-sale sign on our democracy and has permitted $15 BILLION in outside spending since 2010. Our campaign finance system is broken, and if we want to fix it, we need to #EndCitizensUnited.

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

It’s called taxing the rich, buddy.

Bravo!

Here’s a rare member of the U.S. Senate who seems to understand how close we are to a dictatorship.

@alaskasnewssource.com You spelled Alaska’s tallest mountain wrong! It’s DENALI🏔️!!!! You must not be from Alaska! #AlaskaSky #fightfascism #Alaska #Alaskan

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

Elon Musk unloaded his anger on the Republican budget bill, and Jen Psaki reminds us why it's important to remember why he was driven out of Washington in the first place.

Perfect.

Bravo Jon Stewart! Watch to the very end. youtu.be/WIhlC3L99x8?...

🤣😂🤣 #happypride

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

"It's a Yes or No Question"

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

Jonathan Joss was tragically shot and killed by his neighbor—who was shouting homophobic slurs at Jonathan and his husband—in San Antonio, TX. Easy access to guns makes hate-fueled violence especially deadly.

So it’s not “Big & beautiful”?

Lowe’s Dyson Nivea Tiffany Capital One UPS Disney Door Dash Live Nation Anheuser-Busch Diageo Pepsi Nissan PWC Citi Mastercard …all pulled their support for Pride. If brands aren’t supporting your equality, you don’t need to support their profitability. popular.info/p/pride-and-...

This is honestly hard to watch.

DoD civilian employees being detailed to DHS "to support its operations at the U.S. southern border and with internal immigration enforcement."

In Ohio, police officers are paired with social workers to stop violence before it happens—and it's working. Now, that funding is at risk. Instead of backing strategies that save lives, Congress is abandoning the very tools police say they need. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

It felt good to sign this petition, and add a personal note. Tell Congress: Save NASA Science www.congressweb.com/PlanetarySoc...

No better testimonial than this one on how federal job cuts put lives at risk.
