I need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound *incredibly* on, the subtitles will not help.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

This sweet, sad marshmallow really needs a foster! Thumper is having a hard time at the shelter, often squishing himself into corners or under blankets to feel safer. He lost his home for the 2nd time in 2 years after his adopter became too ill to care for him & is so stressed he's barely eating 🧵

“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)

If someone sends me a text for work like this... I'm not reading it... happy for you tho or sorry that happened

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump has committed at least 16 of those same offenses. #NoKings

“Go Birds, F Trump” chants at the #NoKings rally might be the most Philly thing ever!

The two choices in every election.

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

“Border patrol came without a warrant to my family’s business. They took my cousin who is a US citizen. This happened 6/12/25 at 4:33pm” 👇🏼 Naty2023 TikTok

Every day I'm shocked again by how quickly it became standard operating procedure for these thugs to cover their faces at all times like they're imperial stormtroopers. I know it's naive to say "This is supposed to be America!" but for pete's sake, this is supposed to be America.

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

The attacks on the civilian population of LA are becoming more violent and more overtly authoritarian, and brutal. These are the tactics of a paramilitary terror force nothing else. These are rightwing death squads in the making. America is under attack by fascist governmental forces

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office posts a video of Emperor Palpatine reciting Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about L.A. via @swholocron.bsky.social

The vast majority of the immigrants who Trump is terrorizing have done nothing wrong. They came here to work, to give their families a better life. Trump should try acting like a President for once…

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

i just watched a clip of stephen miller talking to hannity from a few days ago and my god is that guy a stone cold freak. like, everything about him is profoundly off-putting, like a bug in an eggar suit

I think this is probably the fairest criticism I've read and agree wholeheartedly. It also explains how people keep talking past each other in a way many takes don't.

lmao newsmon just posted this

Pennsylvanians have a centuries-long tradition of standing up to wanna-be tyrants. On June 14, rallies in every part of Pennsylvania will call out Trump’s corruption. 📍 Find a #NOKINGS event near you at mobilize.us

My strong instinct is that Trump's threats against Americans' first amendment right to peaceably assemble is going to massively juice attendance at Saturday's protests. www.nokings.org

Last I checked, the First Amendment is still in effect, and if Congress cannot restrict the right to peaceably assemble, you can bet your ass the president cannot do so either by screeching from the Oval Office. Also, all the more reason to find your nearest #nokings event: www.nokings.org

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

We will not cower, even in the face of Trump’s militarized escalation. On Saturday, we are going to rise up all across the country in defiance of this administration’s authoritarian agenda. Join the nationwide peaceful protests for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

Stand back. Rescind this illegal, and immoral order. The absurdity of threatening the people of the United States with their own military— Act like the Commander-in-Chief. If you want to be president, at least try to play the part. Fake it, if nothing else. Stand back— We’ll clean up your mess.

Jeffries: "We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order ... he pardoned hundreds of violent felons, criminals, who brutally assaulted police officers and attacked the Capitol on January 6. That's what Donald Trump did on day one."
