The “Big Beautiful Bill” is anything but. Tens of millions of Americans will lose access to healthcare & food programs. The deficit will rise. Science grants & clinical trials will be terminated. Life that is already hard for so many will only get harder. Any federal arts & humanities (1/2)

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

2.977 people died on 9/11. The daily quote for ICE is 3000. I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective. They want one 9/11 every day.

We just can’t. All the cuts, everywhere, they all affect FEMAs ability to respond effectively. But mark our words. In the end fingers will be pointed saying FEMA is/was ineffective.

1. Today, 200,000 marched in Budapest Pride in defiance of a ban by Orbán's far-right government. It was led by the city's mayor Gergely Karácsony, who got around the law by making it an "official city gathering." He was warned of arrest. They marched anyway. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.

This is really hard to watch— meaning it is more important than ever to do so. Be prepared & know what you would do if you see this in your community. Would you film it? Would you gather other citizen support? Would you call 911? Would you move away? How would it change if you were alone or not?

After our last report on conditions inside ICE detention centers, the latest DHS propaganda makes a chilling kind of sense now. The official DHS X account posted a WWII-style poster urging people to “REPORT ALL FOREIGN INVADERS,” complete with the ICE tip line to report undocumented neighbors.

An attorney said in a June 3 email to the auditor’s office that eight to 10 of his firm’s clients may need to put voter-approved bonds back on the ballot because they appear to have fallen short of the state law laying out public notice requirements in the run up to an election. #moleg #mogov

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

New reporting says that Flock is now prohibiting police from other states to access ALPR data in Illinois, California, and Virginia. Now it's time to do the rest of the states--especially if they care about due process in immigration proceedings and protecting abortion-seekers.

“ICE” bounty hunters made this possible. By making it easy to cosplay as federal agents: masked faces, no visible ID, no official vehicles, and gear that any yahoo can buy on Amazon. They look like criminals! 🚨 Man arrested who pretended to be an ICE agent while committing a robbery in Houston.

While we’re hate-watching the ACIP hearings, let’s not forget: this “gotcha!”-style vaccine skepticism circus could’ve been avoided 😡 Senator Cassidy — a physician — could have voted against RFK Jr.’s confirmation. He could have voted for science. For vaccines. For public health. But he didn’t 😢

I need a moment to rant. I have been trying to stay positive. When will we get so tired of saying “that’s not right” we #DoSomething? When will we get so tired of saying “that’s illegal” the courts hold them in contempt? When will we get tired of saying “Where is Congress” we demand action?

Robert F Kennedy Jr is not a vaccine skeptic. Reporters and editors who’ve decided it’s somehow more fair to call him one instead of the anti-vaccine activist and lawyer he is should stop mischaracterizing him so… in the pursuit of accuracy.

This needs urgent legislative and judicial action as the executive branch clearly won't do anything and invites this. How many people will we tolerate putting in harms way by both real and fake ICE agents before our representatives force action besides strongly worded letters and statements?

Remember, this new normal -- in which gangs of masked armed gunmen are causing chaos in the streets, pulling weapons and assaulting innocent people, and no one can say if they're crooks or cops -- was all sold to Americans as a way to make us feel safer.

Here’s the thing: the fascism is still in motion. We don’t know how far this will go, we only know the guy leading it (at least nominally) is in it to the death bc he’s terrified he’ll go to jail if he’s ever not president. I would like to have called that question in March, when we had the ability.

🧵1/5 Sen. Bill Cassidy heroically expressed his "concern" that the new ACIP panel has a "lack of significant experience" and "may even have a preconceived bias." 🙄 Pardon us as we scream into the void. We have a few notes. 👇
