when you’re so racist you don’t let your workers have a day off for a holiday recognizing the end of slavery

Every day a different Democratic member of Congress should go to an ICE facility to inspect their detention facilities or speak to a detainee—and bring the media. That’s such an easy fight to have.

Um Hello FBI?!?

Thank you L.A. Dodgers for blocking ICE entry to your property. No more raids. No more kidnappings #UnmaskICE youtu.be/8qAnSkkpLe0

The City of Pasadena is outraged after Masked and armed men arrested multiple men at a bus stop. Masked men grabbed them off the street without stating a reason. ICE has yet to confirm these were in fact their agents!! Local advocates say six individuals were taken. We need to investigate ICE!

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.

In Pasadena, CA, a Trump regime ICE thug drew a lethal weapon on an unarmed U.S. citizen for photographing his license plate. ICE agents are operating without identification, so citizens are bravely documenting them for accountability and safety. #StopICE #AbolishICE #PoliceState

I actually said “oh NO” out loud, this man has never met a woman he hasn’t condescended to in his life

Share this widely - just a short video showing one example of what's going on all the time now. Unmarked pickup trucks FFS

DHS wants 72 hours notice before inspections of detention facilities. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

I keep saying this, but a fundamental problem with this moment is that the two other branches are rolling over and playing dead, and the founders just did not think that people would do that! www.lawdork.com/p/trump-is-s...

SpaceX’s “major anomaly” last night. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/u...

Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

Trump took down Hillary Clinton's portrait in the White House and replaced it with one of himself. I hope it was this one. 😅 #ProudBlue #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpIsAnInternationalDisgrace #TrumpIsAGlobalLaughingStock

The guy arresting you shouldn’t look like the guy in a ski mask robbing a liquor store. It’s why we’re advancing legislation to put a stop to secret police-style masked law enforcement.

In Gaza, the death toll from an Israeli attack on aid seekers in Khan Younis on Tuesday has reached 70. Hundreds of Palestinians were also wounded after Israeli forces used tanks, drones and machine guns to fire on crowds who had gathered hoping to receive bags of flour.

UPDATE — At least *37* members of Congress have now signed on to efforts against the Trump-Vance administration's moves towards war on Iran. +5 since yesterday. A new Economist/YouGov poll shows Americans strongly disapprove of US involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran: 16-60

ICE thug pulls a gun on a kid recording to his license plate. We are days away from one of these monsters killing a bystander and driving away.

A day late and a dollar short - thanks a hella lot

Did Sen Kaine think it was a good idea to vote for her in the first place? Wow

I guess she showed us

SOUTH CAROLINA, PLEASE VOTE THIS ASSHOLE OUT!!!

If one of these Senators is yours, call and email them. Demand explanations and hold them accountable

This is frightening & dangerous! The Felon fired 100 National Security staffers tonight, leaving only 30 people. He fired anyone he believed was not fully loyal to MAGA. He gave them 30 minutes to clean out their desks. An administration official called the move reckless! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjn7doXW/

The power to commit the US to a foreign war belongs to Congress, not the President. So says the US Constitution. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/w...

Give this a quick read please: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

ICE has been taking babies from their foster parents and separating them from the only family they know. You can hear the agonizing cries from the baby and the scream of the man telling the officers ‘she’s just a baby!!’

Commander Bone Spurs, Present for Duty.

Iran did sign "the deal". You tore it up, genius.

All of these folks out here saying, “I voted for Trump, but I didn’t think it would be like this.” I’m not buying it. They knew exactly what they were voting for. He claimed immigrants were eating cats and dogs. FFS!

Sen. Mike Lee wants to sell this piece of public out from underneath our feet (or wheels).

If you have ever dallied with the notion that "pro-life" people -- and "pro-life" always means only "We make your choices, not you" -- might not invariably be horrific ghouls, examining the excretions of Liz Bruenig will cure you of that unhealthy habit.

Seriously, fuck all of you people who tried to make Liz Bruenig some sort of leftist pundit. She sucks!

every time you think Liz Bruenig can’t get worse, she manages to surprise you. a vile, amoral woman.

There is a fundamental right to bodily autonomy that is so ingrained in humanity that even the dead retain rights to their organs after death. Liz Bruenig can't understand this choice, believing the state is entitled to use women as incubators. It's not a moral debate. It's actually very simple.

A woman in Savannah who attended the #NoKings protest was placed in wrist restraints for wearing a mask. Savannah police have responded, saying in part, "After this encounter, incident commanders advised SPD officers working the protest that medical masks were permitted."

We need to pay attention to this too

Don't forget Melania and the Drumps of Deutschland

Mike Lee’s reprehensible behavior and comments on MN and so many other things are not just about Lee, they are a reflection of the lack of moral character of every voter in UT who put him there, & every cowardly Republican colleague and the Mormon Church who refuse to say a word.

I find myself wondering which one of the bunch of evil clowns he's talking about
