NEW: Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. Unpaywalled from @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social:

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too. This isn't over, but this is a huge win. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Good morning, friends. ā˜€ļø Today is one of the hottest days in recent U.S. history. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and watch out for signs of heat illness. Learn more and protect yourself from the #heatwave:

ā€œHe has always worked hard to put food on the table for us and my mom,ā€ said Alejandro. ā€œHe was always careful and always did his taxes on time. He never caused any problems and he is known as a kind and helping person by everyone in our community.ā€ santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...

VANCE: "Our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change." Ā  HEGSETH: "This mission was not and has not been about regime change." Ā  RUBIO: Regime change is "certainly not the goal of what we're working on here." Ā  TRUMP:

A 14 year old boy died by suicide after being in an intimate relationship with a character.ai chatbot. The company recently claimed in court that claiming that they couldn’t be held responsible because that would be a violation of the CHATBOT’S FREE SPEECH rights. This timeline knows no subtlety.

Sick kinda kismet brings this together on one page: Ad quoting #BrokenTimes odious anti-endorsement with story about a law-school prize for self-admitted Nazi

Has anyone checked to see the people doing arrests are from the private prisons? This language šŸ‘‡šŸ¾ is horrid.

a sitting federal judge — appointed by trump of course — awarded a student for a paper that basically says dred scott was right and should have gone further

Yeah. No words. Res ipsa loquitur…

That Clyburn thinks Andrew Cuomo is part of the future of the Democratic Party - and points to his character!!! — is the problem with the current Democratic Party leadership in a nutshell. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/n...

Today’s decision out of Rhode Island isn’t getting a lot of attention, but it’s very important. Trump tried to withhold fed’l funds from states that won’t help with his immigration policy & mass deportations. A Judge just told him he can’t do that. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Once a guy at my airport gate was bragging about being at January 6th and then I passed him sitting in first class when I boarded and whenever I read stuff like this I think about how his life doesn’t get any better or worse in any way if a trans teenager kills themselves. Evil for the sake of evil.

fuck the New York Times and everyone who works or writes for them and please let me emphasize yes, I mean everyone

Maintaining a dead woman's body for 5 months then delivering a one pound highly premature baby from her corpse is a cruel medical experiment. If ever you wonder why there are high levels of medical mistrust in the Black community, remember this story. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Quer-me parecer que hÔ alguém na RTP3 que é fã do Senhor dos Anéis.

(🚨) This is as important a report as PROOF has ever published, here on the brink of a war that quite possibly became inevitable—and by design—many, many years ago.

ICE is the new American gestapo. No one is safe.

Official and mayoral candidate Brad Lander is handcuffed by masked US federal agents.

Every so often I remember that Mike Lee is a direct descendant of early Mormon John D. Lee, who was convicted and executed for leading the Mountain Meadows Massacre, after he initially tried to blame the murders on Native Americans en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountai...

ā€œIf not gestapo, why gestapo shaped?ā€

it is hard to find better examples of the danger of not throwing fascists in jail when you have the chance than Netanyahu and Trump

This guy is just posted up outside of Congress and I’m honestly not sure what his political views are but I agree

I am Democrat Shawn Harris. I am a husband, father, retired General and farmer. I have announced my candidacyĀ to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene and I know we will together. Her hate and conspiracies do not belong in Congress. Let’s end the chaos together. Share and join me in this fight:

a side note: this is as frontal an assault on the US by Israel as I've ever seen, and there have been some bad ones. This is Israel blowing up the planned negotiations in Oman tomorrow between the Trump envoy and Iran. This is Netanyahu saying the US can't do diplomacy he doesn't sign off on.

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has been pictured on a plane after Israel’s Foreign Ministry said they had deported her. Thunberg was one of 12 people on board the Madleen aid ship, which was seized by the military while attempting to breach Israel’s blockade of Gaza.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

Taking potshots at the freedom of the press in the midst of going after the right of the people peaceably to assemble.

Senate GOP are lying. Full stop. Not ā€œmisinformationā€. Not ā€œmisleadingā€. It is a lie. Knowing, intentional, from Senators who are aware of the law. Undocumented *do not* receive benefits. At all. Of any kind. State or Fed. No Medicare. No Medicaid. No disability. No SS. No food assistance. Nada.

Actually, it's two men.

This is so frustrating.

Lee: Would say it would be ā€œillegal DEIā€ for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre? McMahon: I’d have to get back to you Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is? McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

Days after launching US-backed aid mechanism and killing dozens of aid seekers, Israel temporarily shuts all aid sites.
