šŸ—£ļø9 YEAR OLD: ā€œWhat Trump is doing is frightening — unlike some people we know the meaning of the Declaration of Independence.ā€

Masked men claiming to be ICE agents grabs a man in downtown Los Angeles. His dog is crying. Even the man’s dog understands something bad is happening.

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Andry JosĆ© HernĆ”ndez Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 89 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

On Juneteenth, I celebrate Homer Neal, whose interest in ham radio acquired in the segregated south sparked an interest in science that led him to leading experiments in particle physics and positions of leadership as chair of the U of Michigan Physics Department, Stony Brook U Provost,...

How do you kidnap and deport millions of people? How do you meet a quota of 3,000 apprehensions a day? Racial profiling and indiscriminate abductions. Nobody is safe: #MAGAKidnappers

Conservative billionaires are in fight or flight mode to elect Cuomo, to keep NYC a city only they can afford. It’s up to everyone to make sure it’s money poorly spent.

Trump regime ICE trooper: ā€œwe’re just following ordersā€ As they illegally kidnapped people for Trump’s ethnic cleansing campaign. #StopICE

The individual maximum a person can donate to a NYC mayoral candidate is $2100. Mike Bloomberg just donated $8.3 million to Andrew Cuomo through a super PAC. This is what a rigged campaign finance system, designed to let the wealthy buy elections, looks like.

The billionaire Palantir CEO —the company building a database to track Americans, and helping ICE abduct immigrants, who proudly admits that his company kills people… … is a Big Money Andrew Cuomo donor. You won’t be an opposition leader when you’re owned by the opposition.

HAPPENING NOW: This country is broke until it’s time to fund war. Now we’re about to get dragged into a fight with Iran so Israel can keep committing war crimes with U.S. backing. Times Square said fuck that.

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

#ProudBlue Next No Kings protest on July 4th. Find one near you. This year we need to remind them why we celebrate July 4th We gained independence from a King!!! #NoKings

Wowza

Remember when in 2011, Trump said going to war with Iran means the president is ā€˜weak’ and ā€˜ineffective.’

Senator Slotkin literally BEGGED Hegseth to say he didn't give troops authority to shoot unarmed citizens "Have you given the order that [the military] can use legal force..I want the answer to be no. Please tell me it's no" Hegseth wouldn't answer "Senator, I'd be careful what you read in books"

Holy crap! Why would they remove sign language interpreters!

2,000 more. He’s just gonna keep adding them to California. And to other states. And to new states. Whether the courts try to stop him or not. He’s also sent active duty troops to Louisiana, Texas and Florida in the last week. www.cbsnews.com/news/2000-na...

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating ā€œin two weeksā€ about 3.5 weeks ago. Taco

Per @levernews — Dem strategists messaged on Signal about backing Trump & @SenatorHagerty’s crypto bill despite admitting it supercharges Trump’s corruption. Why? Crypto campaign donors. (The list of 18 Dems who voted yes is below šŸ‘‡šŸ½) www.levernews.com/dems-crypto-...

āš”ļøKellogg to meet Lukashenko in highest-ranking US visit to Belarus in years, Reuters reports. U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg will meet Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in the coming days, Reuters reported on June 17, citing four sources familiar with the matter.

No. Absolutely not. Holding a fire sale of US public lands to address a made-up fiscal crisis (which is only precipitated by reckless tax cuts) is a terrible, terrible idea.

Way to go Gov!

Arresting Comptroller Lander is despicable and another example of Trump weaponizing law enforcement to attack political enemies rather than focusing on public safety. DHS is flat-out lying in its statement. In the video, Comptroller Lander plainly does not lay a hand on anyone.

FIFA Club World Cup ticket sales tank dramatically after the Dept. of Homeland Security bragged that agents would be ā€œsuited and booted" at the stadium in a now-deleted social media post

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) calls Trump a 'tyrant' during his first time addressing the Senate since being forcibly removed from a press conference last week. Watch the whole speech here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndnj...

#ProudBlue Fascism is in full force. Arresting a US citizen for asking to see a warrant.

Stephen Miller is the one who really controls the Department of Homeland Security, according to former Trump administration Homeland Security staffer Miles Taylor. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has been demoted to nothing more than a mouthpiece for his agenda, he said.

Nearly nine months since Helene hit, another hurricane season has gotten underway. But in western North Carolina, many people are still struggling to recover from last year.

NEW: It looks like Palantir is helping Trump build a mega-database of Americans' private information so he can target and spy on his enemies, or anyone. @aoc.bsky.social and I are demanding answers directly from Palantir.

Sweet let's march again....GOOD trouble

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

Your heart breaks for this woman and so many like her, like us. To be at that age and terrified of what will happen to you because your President doesn't care if you live or die. Makes me so angry 😤. She deserves better, we all deserve better.

So far everything that I have heard Pope Leo XIV say has been meaningful.

. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com BRAVO! Thank you for reading the letter sent by Tina Smith's aide Ed Shelleby to his colleagues in Senator Mike Lee's office I did two tours of duty in the Senate and Shelleby has the integrity I remember colleagues on both sides of the aisle sharing back then
