Good. Now everyone else.

Yesterday a judge ruled those wrongly deported to El Salvador MUST be given due process—and today Democracy Forward & others announced a lawsuit against these unconstitutional actions.  The Trump Admin must be held accountable for its corrupt "cash for collusion" deal with Bukele.

NEW: ABC News reports that Kilmer Abrego Garcia is on his way back to the US, where the govt will prosecute him for allegedly “participat[ing] in a years-long conspiracy to haul undocumented migrants from Texas to the interior of the country,” per a sealed indictment.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

"An analysis released Tuesday by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Yale estimates that more than 51,000 additional people across the United States would die unnecessarily each year if the Republican Party's budget reconciliation package becomes law." #USA #Healthcare

The ‘girls’ in ‘the girls are fighting’ are not essential expressions of girlhood, nor a denigration of femininity, and in this essay,,,

"Leqaa Kordia ... is not forgotten."

In addition to the horrifying fascism, this also just the dumbest use of tax dollars. Read all the utter stupidity that transpires when the kids confront the spies. Worst hall monitor energy ever 😬😬😬

In order to eliminate any inconvenience to cars, we’ve made it illegal for children to be children

actual progressive policies are wildly popular, so focusing on "getting yelled at by progressive digital activists" is such weenie way to orient your thinking i cannot handle it like -- stop listening to these losers (literal losers! they lost!!! their plan was bad!!!)

Make no mistake: Trump’s latest travel ban will NOT make America safer. We cannot continue to allow the Trump administration to write bigotry and hatred into U.S. immigration policy.

😳😳😬😬

NEW: A nearly 90% funding cut proposed by the Trump administration would likely shut down and devastate the 37 tribal colleges and universities created to serve the students disadvantaged by the nation’s historic mistreatment of Indigenous communities. By @mattkrupnick.bsky.social

It’s just so cruel & evil. I cannot even. As I said earlier, racism is the driving force of the regime.

Here are the countries under President Trump’s new travel ban.

Banning travel from Sudan during a genocide is so fucking evil. The US was already complicit but this is actively condemning people. I’m so sorry. I don’t know what else to say

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

HOLY HOT SAMOSAS BATMAN. I fucking LOVE IT. 🤩🤩🤩

#AltPride icon coming in 🔥 Hello, Jonathan Van Ness!!!!! JVN has brought so much joy to people who watch the Queer Eye reboot, where he is the hair/makeup/self-care guru, and exudes positivity and love in every episode! But let’s talk about JVN the human. 1/? #Pride #Queer #Lgbtqia #nonbinary

Ms Rachel, the children’s entertainer and educator whose YouTube videos have been watched by millions of families around the world, said she is willing to "risk her career to keep advocating for suffering children in Gaza".

Nah, it’s just white supremacy, always 1st plank of their party.

Doesn’t save one’s fascist ass at The Hague, that doesn’t. 😡

WATCH: Terry Vo speaks out against the ICE raids terrorizing Nashville immigrants

OUR POSTING IS SO POWERFUL

Four women taken out in handcuffs now, family and friends who'd been waiting outside break down in sobs.

I hate, fucking h a t e that the horrific trauma of so many has to be broadcast so that others understand what the regime is doing. This disgusting shit has radicalized me in ways that years of activism has not. 😡😡😡😡

This is the most important thing you’ll read all week. Trump has to broadcast this display of power because he DOES NOT HAVE IT. Kudos to the authors for walking us all through some very, very dark history, both recent & not.

when they start a blog

Libraries are for everyone!

LIBRARIES FTW! 1. Free movies 2. Free books 3. Free music 4. Tool LIBRARIES! FREE TOOLS!!! 5. Makerspaces

Make way for dykelings!

An 81-year-old Reagan appointee born during World War II has been protecting trans people in federal prison in the face of Trump admin efforts. Today, Judge Royce Lamberth sided with challengers who sought a class-wide preliminary injunction protecting hormone therapy and social accommodations.

Yiiiiiiiiiikes. Double Picard Riker face palm yikes. 😬😬

Keep repeating to the normies that the regime doesn’t care about documentation or legality - they hate all non-white immigrants. Everyone. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

ICE is using mandatory check-in appointments for asylum-seekers to arrest people. In NYC, women who had check-in appointments yesterday were instructed to return with their children, with a slew of family detentions expected today. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/03/i...

My plea to parents is to take your children to libraries as much as your complicated parenting schedule can possibly allow. Help your children understand that this resource belongs to them and to the community, and that anyone attempting to take it away is stealing from them.

@prisonculture.bsky.social writes: "Public libraries are institutions that we’ve made together over generations. They offer us a canvas for practicing new worlds while we inhabit the current one." shorturl.at/tDQOy loving them is not enough--they are sites of struggle...read the post for actions

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Couldn't agree more with this. It's jaw-dropping to see the patty cake people are playing with him after what was a full constitutional assault that, oh by the way, is almost certainly going to lead to tens of thousands of people in the global south dying needlessly.

Davos Seaworth is literally sailing a small boat with a sack of food to break a siege only it's to help 2 million starving people in Gaza just let that sink in
