Asked about a possible U.S. attack on Iran, Trump said: “I like to make a final decision one second before." He thinks it's a damn game show. Spin the wheel and see whether millions of people die.

Hard to argue with that.

BREAKING @prri.org poll. My disturbing take: It’s virtually impossible to write a survey question about the treatment of immigrants that is too brutal for Republicans to support. 1) 8 in 10 Republicans support renditions of immigrants to foreign prisons without due process. prri.org/spotlight/ne...

Trump: "The Civil War -- it always seemed to me maybe that could've been solved without losing 600,000 plus people."

Reps. Nadler and Goldman barred from inspecting ICE holding area in NYC https://gothamist.com/news/reps-nadler-and-goldman-barred-from-inspecting-ice-holding-cells-in-nyc

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

This is not the answer the American public should feel any confidence in...

Ever since Tim McVeigh, US leaders have pretended all this right-wing domestic terrorism is made up of “lone wolves." They’re not. They’re foot soldiers. Violence like the Minnesota shooting is what Trump wants—he wants an opposition too scared to stop him. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-s-no...

Los Angeles has ~3,400 unhoused veterans- the most in the country. The number of active troops deployed to LA now exceeds that. Those troops are all being housed and sheltered in the city with your tax dollars, while the veterans' very existence on the street has been criminalized by city ordinance

Cuomo: "No law enforcement agent should be allowed to wear a mask to cover their face. Show the American people who you are if you're not ashamed."

I'm glad I'm not a conspiracy theorist. Otherwise, I'd think Trump was ginning up one international shitshow after another to distract us from the foul things he's doing at home.

Don’t forget to breathe. Breathe in for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8. It signals safety to your nervous system and helps bring you back to centre. No matter the situation, we need to be regulated to think, to act, to not freeze.

It is heartless and cruel that Schumer for months has immediately labeled everything attacking real-life-honest-to-god lives as a “distraction.” It’s not. These are real people with real lives, people worthy of defense, whether it’s USAID or trans kids.

It's unclear to me why the US Congressmen are not escorted by big armed cops to push through obstacles to them exercising their legal rights, and instead everyone now defers to the guys with no uniforms or badges or name tags to determine what is and is not legal?

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Keep in mind public land is land owned BY YOU, the taxpayer. Republicans want to sell it off so they can pay for their tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.

Just another day in Donald Trump's America

A police officer in Cincinnati will not be charged in the fatal shooting of a teenager whose father is accused of intentionally striking and killing a sheriff’s deputy with his car the day after his son’s death.

Wow that’s wild so what about the cops who shot countless rounds at thousands of protesters

Hell of a chart, this, from @financialtimes.com. Spot the JCPOA. on.ft.com/4kSuQYO

Your now-regular reminder that no tax cut has ever paid for itself. Ever

Helicopters. Armed troops wearing masks. All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests. DHS and ICE are out of control. ktla.com/news/local-n...

Andrew Cuomo is bought and paid for by the same Super PACs he once called "dangerous."

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

NEW: The White House is signaling it may soon invoke a little-known and legally untested power to try to sidestep Congress and cancel billions of dollars in federal spending, as President Trump’s top aides look for novel ways to reconfigure the budget My latest: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/u...

They dress like street thugs because they ARE street thugs

The Alt National Park Service account calls itself the official "resistance" team of the US National Park Service. With 887k followers, is one of the biggest accounts on Bluesky. It is the 11 most followed account according to some trackers. This thread will dive into its activity. 🧵 1/x.

Iran: Weeks away from having nuclear weapons since 1995

"What the hell is happening to this country." This is a big deal -- a very mainstream gov with emotion in her voice talking about defending her state from Trump's agents

Reporter: Five fellow mayoral candidates came here within 90 minutes of you being arrested and called for your release. What does that say about the tenor of the mayor's race? Lander: Was one of them Andrew Cuomo? Reporter: It was not. Lander: Imagine that!

ICE is cocking assault rifles and pointing them at civilians. This happened in Pico Rivera this morning.

just saw lander talk at foley square. he notes 40% of city is immigrant, including two arresting agents!! pakistani- muslim and indo-guyanese.

Yeah you’ve got hochul uploading an official nygov social video calling lander’s arrest, and I’m quoting here, “bullshit.” They think the feds have overreached and are vulnerable.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

It is extraordinarily weird watching him conveying a single, cohesive thought for more than five seconds here. It really does show you that, while his heart as always been several shades deeper than vantablack, there's something medically wrong with his brain at this point.

Lander is being release now from DHS/ICE custody now.

Where we are as a country

“I’m a lawyer and I’m going to give you the legal term for what’s happening: It’s fucking ridiculous.” @zellnor.bsky.social

Claiming he "assaulted law enforcement" is so obviously belied by the video, which shows no such thing.

NY Governor Kathy Hochul went to where Brad Lander is detained to try to free him from ICE. This is the type of immediate response from leadership we need to see everywhere.

NY Gov Kathy Hochul is inside 26 Federal Plaza, hassling the feds, demanding Lander's release. Good for her.

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

HAPPENING NOW: New Yorkers are protesting against ICE’s illegal arrest of NYC comptroller Brad Lander.

Remember this moment. Trump is reveling in the narcisisstic and sadistic thrill of threatening others with violent death. He will start to crave that feeling.

Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is now here calling for the release of Lander (his fellow mayoral candidate)
