Minutes after we published this article, Sean Hannity removed a video from his Instagram account that falsely claimed to show an explosion at the Fordow nuclear facility in Iran. The post had been up since Saturday night and viewed over 5 million times www.wired.com/story/donald...

25th Amendment now!

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Spread the word!

If Trump's Secret Service detail had joined the people on the bleachers, they would have doubled the size of the crowd at Donald's sad little birthday parade.

Literally the Russian flag in the post. Two of them

Somebody should have brought him a coloring book or something

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Trump is responsible for the deaths in Minnesota

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

10,000+ people out for No Kings Day in Honolulu

The racist calls by those on the far-right for a “ban on third-world immigration” is grotesquely bigoted & a part of the project to gut the gains of the Civil Rights Movement. The 1965 Immigration & Nationality Act ended explicit racism in U.S. immigration policy. www.lbjlibrary.org/news-and-pre...

It’s looking like Saturday’s No Kings mobilizations are going to be even bigger than Hands Off! We need to show up by the millions to demonstrate that Trump’s tyrannic crackdown is only deepening our resolve. Find a peaceful protest near you for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

I feel like “Current Republican Speaker of the House threatens political opponent with third degree burns and torture” should get more media attention than it will

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but the Speaker of the House calling for the Governor of California to be tortured seems like it should be a pretty big story.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

The United Farm Workers, along with the entire labor movement, stands in strong solidarity with our comrade, labor leader David Huerta. We demand his immediate release and condemn indiscriminate sweeps targeting working class immigrants.

Posted - and then deleted - this morning. 514 days until the midterms.

Musk says Trump is in the Epstein files and it is being covered up. This escalated quickly.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

We need a new term for what is happening under Trump and with the Republican Party. They are mindlessly blowing up government and government services not to save money but to destroy. It’s nihilism mixed with autocracy. Call it nihilocracy.

Too many of my white friends are still doing risk analysis, still weighing the costs of expressing their new revelations, still concerned about what they will lose by speaking out. The reality is, the risks and consequences of silence are far greater. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/white-frie...

The headline of every newspaper in the country should read “Donald Trump Protects War Criminal”

Our current president is severely mentally unwell, and the media needs to cover it now.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

Hands Off! was the biggest day of civic protest in years. We want No Kings Day on June 14 to be even bigger — with more people in more places driving even more defiance of Trump’s fascist agenda. There are over 1,000 events planned in all 50 states. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

You nailed it @johnamaechi.apsintel.com 🔥🔥🔥

Anyone else?

The reason you're having trouble concentrating if you are here in the US is because we're basically being chased around by serial killers and being asked to disregard the fact.

Pete Hegseth is turning the Pentagon into a Christian prayer service. The military isn’t his pulpit. This desecrates the First Amendment, pressures troops, and promotes Christian nationalism. It’s both heartbreaking and frustrating to see this level of moron running the country.
