I am sounding the alarm as loudly as I can that Donald Trump has turned the Department of Justice into a cog in his authoritarian machine to prosecute his political opponents.

Quinnipiac of all polls. Not good for Trump and MAGA.

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

Thou shalt not force good horses to trample peaceful protesters and pretend thou art the good guys.

Yeah if I thought there was even a 5% chance of being renditioned to Gitmo or El Salvador for the crime of leaving my passport at the hotel, I would simply not travel. This is going to kill tourism.

The CDC is reinstating more than 400 people who had received layoff notices. The rehiring, announced internally Wednesday, marks the largest number of employees that the agency has asked back to date. ANOTHER GIANT REPUBLICAN WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

There are now just 6 days left before the final, final deadline for an independent, or a Dem, to enter the race against the GOP sheriffs in Virginia's two largest cities — a matter with heightened stakes given the ties sheriffs & ICE: boltsmag.org/sheriff-elec...

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

A good phrase you can memorize for protesting is "ain't seen shit." See something you don't like? no you didn't. Someone asks you what someone did? You ain't seen shit, I promise.

Rand has been excommunicated by MAGA.

Buh bye poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

Stephen Miller represents everything vile about this administration and drawing more attention to him will (a) make it harder for the administration to pretend this isn't creepy white nationalism in action and (b) likely make Trump jealous to the point he shitcans him like Elon. Win-win.

BREAKING: Miller reportedly engineered the raids that sparked the protests that have engulfed the city in recent days—likely because he wanted a pretext to send in federal troops. https://trib.al/oM1280f

The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up peacefully.

BREAKING: Judge says Mahmoud Khalil cannot be detained or deported based on Rubio’s determination. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

DONT TALK TO COPS. Their job is to close cases, not to find the truth. If they can pin it on you, they will. All you should say is: 1) Am I being detained? and 2) Am I free to go? nothing else. clam the fuck up.

Whoa. New Quinnipiac Poll. Trump at 38% poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

Thank you for your attention to this matter. #AccountabilityForJanuary6th

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

If anyone following works at CBC News (or any of its offshoots) or CBC Radio-Canada (or or any of its offshoot), I hope you push for them to start posting here. It could make a significance difference if you want this site to succeed. They need legit places like that.

I didn't recite "with Liberty and Justice for all" every morning in school just to be called Radical for wanting Liberty and Justice for ALL as an adult.

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.

I wish whenever Democrats did the boilerplate "Of course I believe that violent or destructive protesters should be arrested," they'd add, "Unlike our president who pardons them if they are beating on cops for him."

Gavin Newsom just gave a strong speech laying out the stakes for democracy in blunt language that too few powerful Democrats have been willing to use. I know the huge problems with him. But at this awful moment, playing the "Sorry, he's dead to me" game with Democrats seems an unaffordable luxury.

This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now. Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump. This is how you want a leader to talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=linJ...

They keep talking about punishing protestors as if this country wasn’t FOUNDED BY PROTESTERS WHO ENSHRINED THE RIGHT TO PROTEST, I AM SO TIRED OF HOW STUPID THINGS HAVE BECOME

🚨BREAKING: Georgia Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN four State Election Board rules concerning certification and hand counting ballots last year. A big victory for GA voters and a stinging defeat for the RNC and election deniers. www.democracydocket.com/cases/georgi...

In which Josh Barro admits he doesn't even use Bluesky and seems to guess what it's about based on a single screenshot. If Bluesky actually didn't matter, these guys wouldn't keep talking about it. But it does. And what terrifies them is they can't control it.

Worth reading and considering. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

New! ‘No Kings’ protests suddenly take on a greater urgency www.headsupnews.org/p/no-kings-p... From Heads Up News.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

Transcript and video of @governor.ca.gov's powerful speech on Trump, California, and US democracy. As I said last night, he met the moment and then some. www.gov.ca.gov/2025/06/10/g...

Remember, don't call them "illegals." That's a slur used only on nonwhite people. FOX has never called a white lawbreaker "an illegal." Call them "Christian refugees." It's accurate, moral, and will infuriate the right fake Christians.

Seth gets it

More good news from Pennsylvania!🥳 A federal court permanently dismissed a lawsuit from the conservative 1789 Foundation that sought to remove 277,00 Pennsylvania voters from the rolls. Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=48Sq...

"The normalization of routine and open-ended deployment of the military at home requires that the public become accustomed to this departure from historic practice." Today Trump went further down the path of nomralizing the politicization of the military. Awful. www.thebulwark.com/p/its-always...

This is a message to the enemies of immigration enforcement: Gov. Newsom’s fate will be yours should you stand in the way of national purity,” an anonymous plainclothes ICE agent wearing a balaclava theonion.com/ice-rel...

Trump just wasted $130,000,000 on his political stunt mobilizing the military to L.A. Are you OK with this waste of taxpayer dollars?

ABC News fired reporter Terry Moran for criticizing Stephen Miller and Donald Trump, proving once again that corporate media is rudderless, cowardly and utterly complicit in enabling fascism.
