The Supreme Court is set to issue opinions on Friday morning at 10am ET. Democracy Docket will provide full coverage of any decision in either the birthright citizenship or Louisiana redistricting cases. www.democracydocket.com

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

This is a cover-up‼️ DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses. “We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

When you’re just grabbing brown people

The guy who golfs more than once every 5 days on his private golf course, costing taxpayers millions, wants you to have fewer days off.

No American outlet would hesitate to describe them as pro-regime paramilitaries or an irregular militia and similar terms if this was happening anywhere else.

On Juneteenth, President Trump says America has "too many non-working holidays."

Trump wants to defund FEMA so he can make states beg him for assistance. Blue states need not apply for any assistance.

“We’ve watched in dismay as these new owners have degraded the land and disrupted the wildlife and the wetlands.” P&Z denied Good Timber a variance to build a 9,200-sq-ft on a 10-ft earthen platform between two creeks www.jhnewsandguide.com/news/environ...

White people will literally do anything but hold white people accountable 🤡

Surrendering local coverage is the precise opposite of what the Washington Post should do. That’s something they could offer that others couldn’t.

We asked and YOU answered! Thank you for schooling us in these delightful new words. English needs to up its game. youtube.com/shorts/3zj0h...

Not shocking but very alarming

En partant, Lapix alerte sur la situation intenable des salariés de France Télé, qui bossent par plus de 30°C dans les locaux à Paris. En cause, une panne récurrente de la clim. Le CSE ce jeudi était consacré à ce problème, selon mes infos. Ernotte fait bien suer ses salariés... #Off

This statement from Stable Baltimore is heartbreaking

Some of Senegal team & staff have been refused entry to US @velshimsnbc.bsky.social @msnbc.com @cnn.com @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social @nbcnews.com @wnba.com @cbsnews.com @espn.com @sportsillustrated.bsky.social

U.S. denies visas to athletes and the PM of Senegal thanks China for their help. The administration is destroying our international profile, relations, and soft power. Tell me how we’re going to host a World Cup next year and Olympics in 2028?

Vice President JD Vance (@jd-vance-1.bsky.social‬) is the most-blocked account on Bluesky, less than a day after joining

The US has denied the visas of all 12 members of the Senegalese women’s basketball team who were scheduled to travel to the country as part of their preparation for the Afrobasket tournament that begins in August. Afrobasket is also the African qualifiers for the Olympics. #wnba

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

federal agents at Dodger Stadium.

Today on Juneteenth, we acknowledge the moment when all African Americans were finally notified of their freedom. Still, that “freedom” is a loose term. Ending chattel slavery and the transatlantic slave trade was a moment of liberation, but that alone doesn’t define freedom. 🧵

“A horrible display of waste… rotting fruits and vegetables… store after store closed… if the ice raids continue be ready for even bigger sticker shock when you go grocery shopping…” 🍎 🥕

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

It’s not just about the people who have been taken by ICE. The local economy around Dodger Stadium has been decimated as Hispanic and Latino community members (even American citizens) are terrified to go to work. Grassroots orgs want Dodgers to help local businesses getting destroyed by ICE.

Luv the ATL life of going to the Buford Highway Farmers Market to load up on Mexican ingredients (inc pipicha and epazote) and fresh snapper then spend two days making four salsas and sikil pak and rice and beans and guac and nopales salad for fish tacos

Masked Border Patrol and ICE agents are staged at Dodger Stadium. They are blocking the entrance to the parking lot where a lot of their vehicles are located

The Los Angeles Dodgers say ICE was "denied entry to the grounds by the organization"
