The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Really the only thing members of congress can do is call for impeachment because trump's attack on Iran is illegal. Without GOP support, though, those things can't happen - but that shouldn't stop them from calling it what it is.

I still remember how long the USA argued over whether or not there were 'weapons of mass destruction' in Iraq. Colin Powell did a whole thing at the UN. Now it's just 'Trump said they have them.'

The right wing and Fox launched a smear campaign against Newsom. In the past, he might’ve ignored it—but he’s seen how right-wing trolls work with Fox to create false narratives. So this time, Newsom responded immediately. No hesitation.

MAGA Newsletter. This was literally the agreement signed with the UK on May 8th. In Kananaskis, Trump and Starmer came out to press, Trump dropped the papers and mistakenly referred to the Uk as the “EU”.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

KTLA: “I have no doubt it’s racially motivated.” A US citizen in the parking lot of a Home Depot was tackled to the ground, detained, locked up for 24 hours for filming ICE smashing a man’s window. He plans to sue. (From @keithboykin)

JUNETEENTH in Harlem. This is what America is about. Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep. It’s sad that the president gets angry over this

Thnx to SM Leduc & Sarah Kennell from the Canadian Mental Health Assn policy team for mtg about my Private Member’s Bill C-201 to bring universal mental health care to all Canadians. Lack of access to community mental health services costs Canadians, our economy, and our broader health care system.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.
