Today’s decision out of Rhode Island isn’t getting a lot of attention, but it’s very important. Trump tried to withhold fed’l funds from states that won’t help with his immigration policy & mass deportations. A Judge just told him he can’t do that. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

👀Tomorrow we need to keep eyes on the Catholic faith leaders at the San Diego federal courthouse, who will be present to support immigrants attending hearings. Will masked ICE arrest them too? #UnmaskICE

Multiple ICE impersonation arrests made during nationwide immigration crackdown

They still voted for him after he said “they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats”. Remember that.

Some GOOD NEWS for a change…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

LETS SHARE REALITY NOT PROPAGANDA The shit was RIGGED. thiswillhold.substack.com/p/she-won-pa...

I have no words. Anti-worker, anti-union, pro-child labor, anti-sick leave, anti-medical leave, anti-maternity/paternity leave, anti-livable wage… no wonder republicans refer to us as human capital stock. Fuck the oligarchs.

THE VIEW: Do you feel safe as an elected official in this political climate? JASMINE CROCKETT: No. Not at all.

Laura Loomer posted yesterday for people to take screenshots of any MAGA speaking ill of Trump. Trump then posted a screenshot of a woman in Loomer’s replies who wasn’t talking badly about Trump but was critical of Loomer’s attacks on the Trump base. Trump posted the woman’s face on Truth S.

He was detained outside church. “He was in chains at his feet,” Alondra Sotelo-Garcia told a local news outlet about seeing her father arrested. “Shoelaces were taken off, his belt was off, he didn’t have his ring, he didn’t have his watch. Everything was taken from him.”

This is further evidence that the unmarked ICE officers may well be militia members enlisted by the Trump administration. Democrats in Congress, we need an investigation, stat!

Ok so at this point The Dodgers are somehow doing better than Mayor Karen Bass when it comes to what role they think the police should play in the whole 'masked assholes kidnapping Angelenos' scenario

ICE arrests people in their places of work - it was never about them not working ICE arrests people at their immigration hearings - it was never about "doing it the right way" Republicans vote for a felon - it was never about following the law It's always been about racism. #ProudBlue

I know a lot of folks here have X and Meta PTSD, but yes, Bluesky will remain an oasis. The block function is nothing like other platforms. It will completely remove offending accounts and those who amplify and kvetch about them from your timeline. Use it liberally.

🚨NEW The US Congress has prepared a resolution to prohibit President Donald Trump from interfering in the conflict between Israel and Iran. The draft was developed jointly by Democrats and Republicans, according to the resolution draft on the US Congress website. newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/us-cong...

An important history lesson from the Grandmother of Juneteenth herself. op: blkcultureunlocked (via TikTok)

The jokes write themselves. They also hold the highest positions in our government. I’m sure their little visit to a shutdown biohazard lab🧪had absolutely - 💯 for sure no way in hell not possible didn’t happen - to do with Noem’s hospitalization

Republicans say they’re targeting just criminals and gang members. Bullsh*t. They’re targeting anyone who “looks illegal," and it will only get worse. They need to make their 3,000 a day quota no matter what. #MAGAKidnappers

NEW: Powerful from Brad Lander after being freed: "I'm fine. I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight. I have a lawyer. At that elevator, I was separated from Edgardo. He's not going to sleep in his bed tonight. He has no lawyer. He’s been stripped of his rights. Our Constitutional democracy is not fine.”

I don’t want to lose track of the fact that a lawyer for the Department of Justice went into court and argued that the President has the ability to call up any state national guard in the country for any reason, claim that it’s necessary to enforce the law, and no judge can second-guess him

Immigration judges are alarmed by ICE grabbing immigrants at courthouses. By the way, immigrants can request to appear in court via Zoom. All immigration attorneys should request this. Stop allowing immigrants to be grabbed at courthouses #ImmigrationLaw m.youtube.com/watch?v=HWx9...

Stop saying you’re fine….none of this is fine. youtu.be/SPtMGaYLaas

What a deeply heartfelt and yet screwed up situation.

🚨🚨🚨 Using open source intelligence, public data, news coverage, and other research, these tools are vital resources for documenting, contextualizing, and analyzing the flood of federal activity that is fundamentally reshaping the US. Here are a few prominent examples. 👉 www.wired.com/story/toll-t...

Trump has moved from saying you need a photo ID to purchase groceries to barfing out a conspiracy theory that China sent people here with fake license *plates* they used to cast fraudulent votes. Anyway, this escaped dementia patient has the nuclear arsenal at his command, have a great weekend.

Uuhh. Gross.

“So, the president and his entire national-security team gather for a high-stakes meeting, almost certainly knowing that a massive Israeli airstrike against Iran is days away, and the U.S. director of national intelligence isn’t invited?” www.alternet.org/trump-tulsi-...

Pure evil.

Katie Miller instructed the head of the SSA to report that 40% of all calls placed to SSA phone lines were linked to fraudulent Social Security claims, a number Trump and Musk plucked out of thin air. Just more proof that DOGE is not transparent or efficient. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

When people show you who they are, believe them! #trumpadministration

This is how you actually do it. Create a schism between the cops and ICE. Who's really in charge? The answer is neither of them. The people and the courts are in charge, so let them figure this out with each other. Secret police are no one's allies.

I am having a warcoffee. It is a mourning day in Kyiv. In memory of the people killed in a large-scale russian attack on the capital on the night of June 16-17 💔 No music in cafes, shops, etc. Only the sounds of life wander gently among the shelves and souls.

There’s always a tweet.

We keep hearing credulous pundits say MAGA is "antiwar." So how many MAGA Republicans will support the new resolution requiring Trump to get congressional authorization for war with Iran? This resolution is important. People should pay attention to it. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/1969...
