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.

"Trump adviser Peter Navarro had said he wanted to secure '90 deals in 90 days.' But nearly 60 days later, Trump has secured only one — a vaguely phrased framework with Britain that still hasn’t been made public..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This is a FABULOUS interview. I'm a huge fan of Heather Cox Richardson @hcrichardson.bsky.social . www.youtube.com/live/FWjR6_q...

I confronted Secretary Luttnick for gutting the MBDA, firing NOAA scientists, and shortchanging quantum innovation. This administration is sabotaging progress and targeting public servants. We need answers—and I’m not letting up. #MBDA #NOAA #QuantumLeadership #AccountabilityNow

Musk cannot be ā€œturnedā€, ā€œflippedā€, ā€œalliedā€ with. He is a Nazi and he’s killed 300,000 people, mostly children. Anyone considering taking his political contributions or discussing allying with him has no moral compass nor should they be near power.

NEW: A federal court temporarily blocked an Oklahoma law barring many immigrants from entering or living in the state. The law threatened the arrest of even those pursuing legal immigration status, in spite of federal law.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

If you're wondering what the tech bros are planning for the world, you might want to check out my conversation with @gilduran.com of The Nerd Reich today at 5:00 on my YouTube channel and Facebook. Gil has been studying their ideology for years now, and can walk us through it.

Democracy on the Line: How We Got Here and How To Stop an Authoritarian Takeover (with @hcrichardson.bsky.social) Register here for the online event on June 10th: my1.americanprogress.org/youre-invite...

9 out of 10 agencies targeted by DOGE for layoffs are liberal-leaning. Every single proposed GOP budget increase goes to conservative agencies. They're not cutting fat—they're performing ideological surgery with a chainsaw.

Approximately 70 law professionals, including former Florida Supreme Court Justices, have filed a new complaint against Pam Bondi. They accuse Bondi of violating professional rules of conduct, politicizing her office and undermining judicial independence. floridapolitics.com/archives/741...

Catch the hearing livestream at 10:15 ET ā¬‡ļø

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

This. A good explainer of how Medicaid cuts work.

BREAKING: Music superstar Bono of U2 fame leaps to Bruce Springsteen's defense and unloads on Donald Trump with a fiery takedown, says that there's "only one boss in America" and exposes his MAGA lies. The entire music world is allying against Trump now...

PM Carney speaks firmly and reiterates that Canada’s old relationship with the US is over. ā€œWe are living through the biggest crisis of our lifetimesā€! Trump has put illegal and unjustified tariffs on aluminum and steel. This is Canada and we decide what we do here! #CanadaStrong #USDemocracy

Thank you @hcrichardson.bsky.social for mentioning @warren.senate.gov ā€˜s report on Elon Musk that shows his net worth has increased by $100bn since Election Day!! 🤬

Go Newark Mayor šŸ’„ Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is suing interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, for false arrest and malicious prosecution.

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.

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.

Love to see a community come together when ICE Nazis show up to their neighborhood and send them packing ….šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘ South Park neighborhood of San Diego

Less than five months as superintendent, Kevin Heatley hung up his ranger’s uniform Friday, citing the Trump administration’s staffing cuts at the National Park Service as a major reason for his decision to take a buyout offer.

This… is bad. First, these committees cost next to nothing. Among other things, this is about ignoring the needs of women service members. www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Early rumors are that up to 40 Russian strategic bombers were destroyed in one of the most audacious operations I’ve ever seen. Get fucked, Vlad.

An abundance of cherry tomatoes, so I made chutney with them. Yum! Tomatoes are going like gangbusters, even got a few Early Girls already!
