I am disappointed by the coverage..

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

ICC urged to probe Russia's Wagner Group over promotion of atrocities in West Africa

Instead of serving all Texans for real justice and safety, @governorabbott.bsky.social uses smoke And mirrors to veto bipartisan bills that would address people charged with crimes but unable to afford bail. He also FAILED to protect childcare facilities. www.texastribune.org/2025/06/22/t...

Legislators in CA are moving forward to end masked armed personnel. We need to do the same here in NJ. @govmurphy.bsky.social

“I feel like I’m dying” “I feel like I’ve been lied to” The words of an anti-vax chiropractor who become seriously ill with measles and spread it to his kids, who then also became seriously ill. All four kids were hospitalized. You *were* lied to. And you wanted to believe that lie.

Rubio calling the intelligence “irrelevant” is one for the history books

What the Dem party doesn’t understand is that the election in NYC is a test for the 26 midterms. Young people are testing to see if they will ever be allowed to assert their priorities over the priorities of monied interests who buy elections like Bloomberg, and old school patrons like Cuomo.

Well, gosh, whoda thunk

Damn—the Senate parliamentarian has ruled that a LOT of the reconciliation bill requires 60 votes to pass, including a massive assault on federal regulations and several heinous attacks on civil service protections. This effectively guts a big chunk of the bill. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

. @democrats.org royalty/mainstream/elite leadership want to convince folks that @andrewcuomo.bsky.social is what NYC needs. Even when their decisions led us to Trump You can rock with them OR with voices of change against the Status quo that got us here #DontRankCuomo #RanktheSlate

Zohran Mamdani has waged a surprisingly strong campaign for mayor of New York City. Can the movement he created overcome Andrew Cuomo’s power?

WATCH: “He was cutting grass.” Soboroff & Wallace on the sickening beating of the father of 3 Marines, and how @joerogan says he wouldn’t have signed up if he had know it would be like this, “tearing the fabric of the community”. (But he should have known)

Weird how it doesn't happen at Drag Queen story hours.

I'm sorry but I cannot get over this parade of the absolute worst people in the world endorsing Cuomo, this is so goddamned funny

So this is..kidnap? Trafficking? Doesn’t seem like deportation if they’re taking and shipping out citizens to god knows where

OK, here is your one-minute primer on the whole concept of "trickle down economics," from the obituary of Fred Smith, the founder of Fedex. I mean, if you still can't see it, I have no hope for you.

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." — Voltaire

The fact that our military was perfectly happy to use weapons abroad in violation of the War Powers Act doesn't bode well for us when they are asked to use weapons at home in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has granted Donald Trump’s emergency request to resume deporting migrants to countries other than their homeland, including places like South Sudan, with minimal notice.

The former vice chief of the National Guard is calling for an end to President Trump's dangerous deployment of troops in Los Angeles to carry out his political agenda. Military troops shouldn't police their own communities.

Yesterday Secretary Rubio admitted the administration ignored its own intelligence reports while illegally dragging us into the conflict in Iran. He literally said "forget about intelligence." That's the type of "leadership" that started the Iraq War.

During his months-long detention, the government kept Mahmoud from meaningful personal milestones, like his graduation, the birth of his first child, and his first Father's Day. In his first days of freedom, Mahmoud speaks about being unjustly targeted for his speech and disappeared by ICE:

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

WIRED on the “wave of disinformation” right-wing accounts, Trump, and Hannity used to frame the attack as a flawless operation — with fake videos and fake intel. www.wired.com/story/donald...

Still wondering why we never received more info re Election Day bomb threats targeting Dem leaning counties in 2024 election. www.nbcnews.com/tech/securit...

one of the busiest election days of the year is in 48 hours — and I’m not just talking about Cuomo-Mamdani catch up with what we’re watching, including left bids to defend their seats on the NYC councils and progressive bids in other cities

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

as someone old enough to remember the ruin of the Iraq War and the 2008 financial crash, the fact that we bombed Iran and advanced the Genius Act this week has been pretty wild and makes me doubt that a critical mass of American elites are capable of learning anything

In a lot of European capitals, there is a reluctance to engage with the idea that the U.S. might not be a reliable ally — but change in NATO is coming. With Philipp Fritz, @estwebber.bsky.social and Chris Lunday. www.politico.eu/article/how-...

Funny, that.

Host: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization? Rubio: That’s irrelevant Host: No, that's a key point Rubio: No it’s not… Forget about intelligence

Veterans are speaking out against President Trump's military deployment in Los Angeles because they know that using the military to police protests is un-American and puts our First Amendment rights in danger.

The White House leaked the Iran nuclear facility attack directly to Russia. By all intents and purposes the operation was a major failure. Despite the 24/7 gaslighting campaign by the Trump regime. Today Israel struck the same target since the US failed.

All of these crusty Dems endorsing Cuomo, a corrupt, misogynistic bully credibly accused of sexual harassment by several women just reinforces the point that this party will spend ALL ITS TIME crushing progressives rather than holding the GOP accountable or saving our democracy.

“As a Marine who fought in Iraq, I’ve seen firsthand the cost of war in the Middle East, both in lives, in taxpayer dollars, and long-term consequences. I don’t know why we need to get involved in this." - Sen. Bogner. By @keilaszpaller.bsky.social: dailymontanan.com/briefs/monta... #mtpol #mtleg

HUGE NEWS!!!! A new poll has me within single digits of leading in my race, ahead of FIVE other career politicians. This is incredible! I was a "long shot" in March. Now we’re proving that grassroots campaigns can be viable and win — but I can’t do it without your help.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

I’m having a lot of fun using the photo mode in No Man’s Sky today.

Ukraine strikes military targets US targets nuclear facilities russia murders children in their sleep EVERY DAMNED DAY!

Trump's fighting Tulsi Gabbard. She testified that Iran is NOT building Nuclear Weapons. He says, thats not true. Why? Because he's laying the groundwork for the next crisis, a war. So, facts are just getting in the way.

Siarhei Tsikhanouski, Belarusian opposition leader and former political prisoner, has been released after years of unjust detention. His first message? A call for freedom and resistance: “If you were waiting for a sign — this is it.”
