Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

This is not good.

Vance’s face when Trump says: “I want to thank everyone - in particular, God. We love you, God.”

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Congress? You awake?

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

someone took my spot 🤨

Reports have emerged that U.S. bombers are approaching Iran. "The U.S. has deployed B-2 stealth bombers to a strategic base in the Indian Ocean, which may indicate preparations for a strike on Iran’s underground facilities," according to the UK Defence Journal.

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.

We’re closing in on the 3.5% rule! 8.6 million and counting! We’re in awe. Lots of events still happening make sure to be counted. Big towns, small towns you showed up.

We are the vast majority, Donald. We are people of every shape and shade. We are people of every nation and orientation. We are cisgender and transgender. We are immigrants and refugees and those born here... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-the-peo... #NoKingsDay

About 50 cops carrying shields and riot gear walking through downtown Nashville near the federal courthouse where Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be arranged shortly.

Shameful. Unlawfully deployed troops detaining a veteran on his way to the VA.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

LA is calm. There is NOTHING for the natl guard, let alone Marines to do. They are standing around.

real bummer finding out that literally everything was on the honor system this whole time

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

States that are committed to following science - REAL science - should form joint interstate task forces to help craft sensible policies to protect our public health. We are still at risk of another pandemic. With the CDC being destroyed from within, we need state departments of health to step up.

SMITE!

It's so disheartening watching everything I've spent a decade warning people was going to happen, actually happen, and to see how many of them still don't seem to care.

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

I watched the same thing happen in Andor Season 2.

Los Angeles is not a war zone. We are not descending into chaos and lawlessness. We’re a great city full of good people. We don’t need the National Guard.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

Warning: ICE is planning 30 days of immigration raids across Los Angeles County. If you or someone you know may be impacted, now is the time to set up a support system, identify a safe place, and stay alert.

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn

The situation in Los Angeles is about to plunge us into a national emergency, except the people that normally solve national emergencies are the ones creating it.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.
