DNC Faces Fresh Blow as 23-Year Veteran Resigns Amid Leadership Fallout https://twp.ai/4ioYUV

The UK has appointed its first-ever female leader for Britain’s MI6 spy agency — and no, Judi Dench didn’t count. Prime Minister Keir Starmer named Blaise Metreweli chief of the Secret Intelligence Service on Sunday.

You’ll notice that the American state media are no longer concerned about age seeing as the orange felon is now nearly 80 years old and all they’ve been doing is normalizing his birthday dictator march. They have completely failed all of us as well as our democracy.

Just got back from 🇨🇦. Can confirm.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mike Pence: "The president was wrong to pardon people who assaulted police officers on January 6...Anyone who would ever use violence, whether it be against law enforcement of political violence, must be condemned universally."

Our Great Neighbors In Canada This Billboard in Calgary near Kanaanskis, Alberta where the G7 meets Trump nothing 🤣 SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦

A raid in Montebello, Calif., has stirred fears that federal agents are detaining and racially profiling U.S. citizens of Hispanic descent. It's despicable, so yeah, I'm thinking it's true. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

The gunman no doubt thought of himself as a good person, as someone who was pro-life, but his ideology brought him to a place where he shot 17 bullets into a couple who got into politics to help get health insurance for his daughter, who has spina bifida.

🧵I think it’s important to understand what disinformation like Sen. Mike Lee’s tweets are trying to do, psychologically/cognitively. In my disinfo class/Substack, I talk about how disinfo often uses “moral disengagement strategies” to manipulate people into accepting harmful conduct 1/

"And here we are, Israel is bombing Iran and Iran is returning fire, and there are probably people crying at the Pentagon and they’re not alone. Israel’s attack on Iran is not even the biggest risk of having someone as unhinged as Whiskey Pete in charge: the Los Angeles invasion is."

AOC to Walz: We are talking about individuals who cheered the pardoning of people who attacked the U.S. Capitol while flying the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag And they want to act offended because someone has the courage to say: if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck.

Very interesting article. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

In my opinion, Trump's shift on this issue ("stop raiding farms and hotels") demonstrates the US needs to have an honest conversation about the role of undocumented immigrants in this country. And who constitutes this population. I'm afraid the rhetoric has already poisoned the well.

A Tennessee woman is studying to be a nurse and works nights cleaning buildings. ICE recently deported her husband, leaving her alone with three kids and another child on the way. She's about to lose her car and home. Would you consider donating to help? www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-hel...

The US Army marched through Washington DC yesterday to commemorate its 250th year. Many officials were in attendance, including Secretary Pete Hegseth. To show his support for the Army, he wore a camo tie. Personally, I think there was a more sophisticated choice 🧵

Really dig Yuko Gunji, a kintsugi artist in NYC. Kintsugi is the Japanese method of repairing broken ceramics with lacquer and gold. Instead of trying to make things look new again, it highlights the faults, showing how something can be beautiful even after it was broken. IG gunjiyuko.kintsugi

here’s the moment LASD advanced on protestors with horses and used flash-bangs as we reported live yesterday. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp-vi...

Authorities said Boelter disguised himself as law enforcement during the attack and news reports have focused on his apparent work as a security professional. But NPR's review of Boelter's online records+ employment history found many of those claims about his professional life that appear untrue.

The Chemical Safety Board does not duplicate OSHA or EPA. It's more like the NTSB of chemical plant incidents. Eliminating the #CSB will mean more chemical releases, evacuations illnesses and deaths -- everywhere in the US, not just cancer alley. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

200,000 people were dressed as empty aluminum benches.

At yesterday's protests in Atlanta, police arrested the respected journalist Mario Guevara—clearly ID'd as press and, crucially, known for tirelessly documenting ICE abuses—for livestreaming their crackdown. He was booked on charges of "obstruction" and "pedestrian walking on or along" a roadway.

On Father's Day, Esther Ngumbi thinks of the sacrifices her Kenyan dad made to ensure that not only his son but his four daughters got an education. He'd say, "I choose to educate you, my girls."

Lol

Don't print lies in the newspaper

Brohran Mamdander: Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander Join Forces to Crush Cuomo

Agents of Ukrainian military intelligence (the HUR) carried out an attack on an industrial electrical substation in russian-occupied Königsberg (so-called "Kaliningrad"). The sabotage cut off power to the invaders' military-industrial complex and armed forces in the area.

Anaheim, California showed up big-time today! I saw good friends from work, from Twitter/Bluesky, & even neighbors! It gave so many a feeling of hope & community. We love our neighbors & our immigrant community! #NoKings #NoKingsDay #California

Monhegan Island may be tiny, but today it stood tall. From lobster traps to lighthouse views, islanders raised their voices to say: no kings, no fascists, no fear. Even 12 miles out to sea, democracy finds defenders. #NoKings

Times like this weekend make me so glad to have Archie - a loving and very fun father and grandfather - by my side. Happy Father’s Day Archie. I love you.

Carlsbad, CA came out in force! Large crowd, great energy! Lots of support from cars driving past. It was great to see so many people united in saying No Kings in the USA! 👍🙂 #NoKings

Schiff: "In the first administration, there were at least a few people in the cabinet of some independence who could say, 'No, Mr. President, that's a lawless idea, that's a stupid idea.' But there's no one in this current admin to tell POTUS 'that's a stupid idea'... there's nothing but sycophants"

Des Moines, you make me SO proud! 1000's of folks showed up today to give a big middle finger to ICE and the feckless Trump administration! POWER TO THE PEOPLE! 💥💥💥
