Folks, we cannot allow Donald any longer to send people to El Salvador or some other God awful place. This has GOT to stop! Someone, anyone, could surely do something to stop this. We may be able to stop it by calling our representatives and letting them know how we feel. Let's do it! ALL OF US! 👠

100%. A through-line through the last five months is that uncertainty is Donald Trump's personal comfort zone, where he feels *his* power is maximized. But in basically every domain in which he operates uncertainty *in itself* is damaging to everyone else involved.

"Americans are going to die." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/h...

On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of community across generations. We acknowledge our nation’s full history and the long, ongoing fight for freedom and justice for Black Americans.

The Supreme Court is set to issue opinions in the 16 remaining cases it heard this term, including: ⚖️Birthright Citizenship/Nationwide Injunctions. ⚖️Louisiana Redistricting. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to keep you informed. Sign-up now for free. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

The most no-brainer vaccine - one that prevents cancer - should not be under threat. We had a 'pre-cervical cancer' scare in my family a few years ago, something that would have been prevented by HPV vaccination if it was available years ago. Other than frayed nerves and increased 1/

Trump regime ICE trooper: “we’re just following orders” As they illegally kidnapped people for Trump’s ethnic cleansing campaign. #StopICE

Jessica Grose of the NYT is mistaken. Andrew Huberman is a physiologist of vision and an entertainer/snake oil salesman. He has no relevant expertise on vaccines.

NEWS: In one of the first major federal prosecutions of an LA protester, the DOJ has moved to dismiss the case. Jose Manuel Mojica was accused of assaulting officers, but came forward to Guardian to recount how he was brutally attacked by agents. “I feel a huge relief. The truth always comes out."

Meiselas: And now, the little engine that could—the one people said could never happen—the MeidasTouch Network has hit 5 million subscribers, 33 million views every 48 hours, more views than Fox News and any cable news network… we are so grateful to share this moment with you all.

This drum circle is a sacred honor in memory of slain MN State Legislator Melissa Hortman, at the candlelight vigil

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

@jaketapper.bsky.social Interesting fact: in his 1st 4 mo Biden deported 500,000–no chaos, no torture, no masked ICE, marines, no torture In his first 4 mo, Trump deported 142,000. and it took torture, denial of Habeas, marines, masked ICE, jailing polite rivals. Wanna run w this??

Call your Representative tomorrow demand they get louder and more assertive about these masked, unidentifiable thugs who are ripping people off the streets. The current pushback is as “hardcore” as a bowl of warm pudding.

Aside from the masks did ICE have to canabilize its budget for unfiroms?Are they buying them these bro clothes get-ups for work? I jest but it's not just the masks and lack of badges where are their uniforms?

Nobody, and I mean nobody, is bravely and beautifully exposing him on a nightly basis like @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com. Bravo, Lawrence.

The same racists who wanted President Obama in prison over creating a healthcare plan are now praising an orange tinted criminal psychopath who is hellbent on world destruction.

Holy crap! Why would they remove sign language interpreters!

KAINE: “You didn’t call any of the families. They learned about it from the press.” @sentimkaine calls out @petehegseth for not having the courtesy to call the families of the 🇺🇸 soldiers whose names he’s stripping from military bases to put the names of Confederate generals back.

Trump is trying to stay in power by starting a war with Iran. Iran was frequently brought up in White House meetings after the election, with Trump "seemingly willing to do anything to stay in power," The New Yorker's Susan Glasser, an author of the book,

It was always a crystal clear 100% certainty that if the orange convicted felon was sent back into the White House instead of being sent to prison that he would bring the United States into war, economic collapse and total chaos. This is on everyone who voted for him.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Also one of Martha Alito’s flags. Gross.

WATCH as MSNBC exposes how Donald Trump’s Screw America Bill will cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans and leave the rest of America holding the bag. Thanks, Republicans.....

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

Gilbert was a golden retriever trained by Helping Paws, a nonprofit that provides service dogs to people with disabilities & vets with PTSD. He was Rep. Melissa Hortman’s family dog. He was shot by MAGA terrorist, Vance Boelter, during the incident Saturday. Gilbert succumbed to his injuries today

This seems like a big deal.👇 Jeffrey Clark, a key architect of the plot to help President Donald Trump subvert the 2020 election, addressed anti-voting activists from the White House complex Saturday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

#GVerse #Attention - NY Governor Kathy Hochul on the #Shit4Brains Administration's arrest of Democratic New York City Mayoral Candidate Brad Lander:

😅🤣

Is this true? 👇

Explain why or why not

Way to go Gov!

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

All the Signs Trump Is Preparing for a US Attack on Iran https://twp.ai/4ioVVU

AOC says she’s joining Republican Rep. Massie in prohibiting 🇺🇸 involvement in Israel’s war with Iran

There’s always a tweet.

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.

Russia launched a large terrorist attack on Kyiv, Ukraine using cluster munitions to mass murder civilians.

Padilla: The President, VP, and their allies have continued to call all the protesters out there insurrectionists. Yes, this is the same man who provoked an actual insurrection at our capitol on January 6.

Would you look at that.

Wow! New Australian research finds that venom from honeybees can rapidly kill aggressive, and hard to treat breast cancer cells.🐝

Parnas: He sends the Marines into American cities not to protect us, folks, but to silence us. He ignores court orders like they’re optional. He surrounds himself with loyalists who exist solely to carry out his will. This is a leadership style that’s called authoritarianism.

“I‘ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this,” said Judge William Young when ruling from the bench. “Is it true of our society as a whole? Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?” You Go Judge Young! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/16/m...

I've only posted an article with a paywall one other time. I did so because the first half was not behind a paywall and had useful, immediately applicable information, even if people never saw the other half. That's also the situation with this one. www.jackhopkinsnow.com
