I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

MUST WATCH: When a sitting Senator asks if a white nationalist troll is influencing DHS staffing and the response is “Your time is up”— You’re watching authoritarianism in plain fucking sight. Salute to Sen. Jacky Rosen for saying what needed to be said: “You’re either feckless or complicit.”

"THE END OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AS WE KNOW IT COULD BE HAPPENING NOW"

All my love to fellow gender dropouts, to the trans folks, to the queers, to the gender deviants. They can't legislate you or me out of existence because someone just like us is being born right now. And that will keep happening. And we will do everything we can to build the world they need.

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

This is such a great point and isn’t made enough! We have a trans daughter but a mostly conservative extended family (and in-laws, to some degree), the exact people you’d expect would be awful on this issue. They have not been! I was prepared to do battle but we’ve been so happily surprised.

Tucker Carlson, of all people, showing how easy it can be to pop the bullshit bubble if you don’t mind making a liar angry should shame every White House reporter.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Given this administration’s actions in the Eric Adams case, it would seem to me that New Yorkers would want a mayor that’s not corruptible. I am not a New Yorker, but if I were, I would not rank Cuomo.

As doctors, we take an oath to put our patients first. When a woman comes to the ER, we don’t check her party affiliation. We provide the emergency care she needs to survive. That’s our duty. That’s the law. And I’ll keep fighting to protect it. #EMTALA

Here we go, we have Skrmetti. SCOTUS, 6-3, UPHOLDS Tennessee's ban on gender affirming care. Roberts with the majority opinion, all three liberals dissent.

NEW: ProPublica has sued the FDA, accusing the agency of withholding information about the safety and availability of generic drugs critical to millions of Americans.

Cruz didn’t just forget Iran’s population. He confessed to a war crime on national TV. The U.S. is bombing Iran right now. No authorization. No oversight. This is how empires operate when accountability is dead.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Following the horrific tragedy in Minnesota, Attorney General Kathy Jennings and I have urged the General Assembly to swiftly pass House Bills 152 & 153. These public safety measures will close dangerous legal loopholes and strengthen trust with law enforcement. www.coastalpoint.com/news/state/m...

This should not be controversial or radical. People deserve to live, eat, heal, learn, and have housing, independent of our ability to earn profits for capitalists/investors.

Hard agree We shouldn't be referring to these people as "Federal agents" until we get proof that they actually are that While we're at it, we should stop saying people are being "arrested" when they are being kidnapped And stop saying "deported" if they're being extrajudicially rendered

Sen Lee’s comments/jokes/tweets were despicable and beyond what a citizen would expect of a sitting senator. The do not represent the values of Americans. And for his staff not to call him out, you are complicit. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Military/paramilitary forces grabbing people without process, regardless of their citizenship status because of their perceived ethnicity is perhaps better referred to as "ethnic cleansing."

Padilla: The President, VP, and their allies have continued to call all the protesters out there insurrectionists. Yes, this is the same man who provoked an actual insurrection at our capitol on January 6.

WATCH: “You shouldn’t treat every child in your care like they’re murderers. Most kids in Dick Bean’s facility are not convicted of anything.” The still operating KNOXVILLE facility known for sticking kids in solitary, sometimes for ‘talking back’ Story: www.propublica.org/article/knox...

I backed this - seems like something I might need at some point, and Matt has walked the walk

This bill will crash our economy....make the Dollars worthless and murder millions of Americans...call or Email your Senators today.

It isn’t only the president’s disparaging remarks or rhetoric; it’s also the weaponization of the Capitol rioters, white supremacists, and now the National Guard to carry out political agendas.

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks. I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly. Solidarity to these workers.

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

By the way, as you march against the madness today, remember that the election was STOLEN by Elon and Trump! No fucking way he won all 7 swing states AND the popular vote. Not only is he NOT a fucking King, he's not even a fucking President!

Truth.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Here’s the 3rd paragraph of Fox’s main story on the manhandling of Sen. Alex Padilla. It quotes the Trump regime as saying Padilla didn’t identify himself. Fox knows that’s a lie because they have video of him identifying himself. But they never call out the lie. Fox is fascist propaganda.

The reporters who can fairly and accurately cover protests are not working at the NYT. WAPO, CNN etc... they are freelancers or working at independent publications.

It's ridiculous for MSNBC to pay John Kasich to invent a middle ground between fascism and democracy.

RFK Jr. is going to succeed at destroying the vaccine program of the United States of America, which was once a world leader. He is going to kill more children, exactly as @jimalwine.bsky.social and I predicted in our OpEd from February. tucson.com/opinion/colu...

MORAN: “.. I can't wait to get into the important work that we all have to do.” terrymoran.substack.com/p/independen...

Please make sure you do the following as quickly as possible, especially if you are immunocompromised: 1. Get every vaccine you need 2. Buy some high-quality masks (KF94, KN95 or N95). These fools that Kennedy just appointed are going to cause the reemergence of vaccine-preventable disease.

X’s business model went from subscriptions to suing advertisers for antitrust violations for boycotting their platform. It’s worked on brands as varied as Verizon and Ralph Lauren. This is helped by the fact the FTC is investigating advertising watchdog groups over the boycotts.

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.

Anyone from Ohio, can you also call your legislators and just say “hey this is fucked up”?

Terry Moran, if you’re reading this: the door is open.

$134 million for this possibly illegal deployment of Marines and the National Guard, on top of the $45 million military parade this weekend! Donald Trump is trying to make massive cuts to lifeline programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and Meals on Wheels so he can cosplay as a wartime President.

RFK Jr justifies firing scientists on the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee due to “conflicts of interest.” Yet RFK Jr made almost $100K a year from anti-vax lawsuits and almost $90K a month from his anti-vax nonprofit. The person with the biggest conflict of interest at HHS is the one leading it.
