I need @philplait.bsky.social to go to town on this!

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

ICE Vows To Restore Order Using Whatever Force Unnecessary

Victim: IRONY Time of death: June 12, 3:11 PM PDT

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country." Don't let that slide by.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

What’s next, brown shirts? What do Republican colleagues have to say? At long last, colleagues, have you no sense of decency?

Republicans who do not condemn this are unfit to serve in any capacity. They are servile, abetting an evil regime.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

How much of a fucking degenerate disgrace of a reporter do you have to be to watch a video of someone being thrown to the floor and handcuffed and describe it as him being "escorted out." @soniarao.bsky.social

We've just updated the @wired.com guide to protecting your privacy while attending protests with the latest best practices. @agreenberg.bsky.social and @lhn.bsky.social report: www.wired.com/story/how-to...

Transportation Sec Sean Duffy today. At least Zelensky wore socks.

No wonder they’re trying to erase scientific research.

Betsy Jochum, the last of the 60 players from the inaugural season of what became known as the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League — which decades later inspired the 1992 film "A League of Their Own" — died last month at her home in South Bend, Indiana. She was 104.

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

The volcano says it will stop, but only if we feed it Trump.

If other countries are smart, we should see massive boycotts of the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics. I can’t imagine voluntarily sending athletes (and fans!) to the US. They might never come home.

Didn’t he stiff professional seat fillers during the campaign? 🤔

if you're a family member of a National Guard member or Marine deployed to L.A. and want to talk please get in touch.

They're booing Donald Trump at the Kennedy Center.

Hi, I’m God. I’m going to make it rain on his big stupid parade. #NoKings

Somebody finally got it wrapped up in a nice little phrase!

Wikipedia wanted to use AI summaries at the top of article pages. Editors said please please don't www.404media.co/wikipedia-pa...

the MLBPA issued a statement regarding the House Small Business committee hearing that occurred yesterday called “Beyond the Ballpark: The Role of Minor Leagues in Economic Growth”

Has anybody else noticed how many of the anti-ICE “Stand with LA” protests around the country are bigger than the LA protests themselves? But sure, deploy 4,700 troops…

Knave of Diamonds is out in the world and now others will know my Uncle Jake.

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

My work here is done

While the intent is appreciated, can America change the name of #NoKingsDay ? We have thousands of constituents that find this insulting. #NoTyrantsDay is a great alternative that only a few T-Rex lizard descendents would object to.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

It could just be that I'm tired or emotionally exhausted from watching the Fourth Reich try to make California submit, but I got oddly choked up watching Bruce the Bat Dog getting called up from Triple-A.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Amazing how hard it is to write: “Police shoot at journalists.”

Damn 😶

This thread is 🔥

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.
