Earlier today we taped tomorrow’s show, and we discussed the potential for the U.S. to bomb Iran. Since taping, the U.S. has carried out several bombings. We’ll have more to say in the future, but for now our piece on Trump and the Iran Deal can help explain what got us here. youtu.be/5xnZ_CeTqyM

Never forget: Trump tore up the Obama Iran nuclear deal in 2018. He hated that the black guy negotiated it.

Trump in 2013: “Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!”

I wonder how many people realize that America is now literally at war *solely* because Trump hates black people Obama signed the Iran Nuclear Deal; Iran stopped enrichment; Trump ended the Deal to spite Obama; he was told enrichment would restart; it did This is *Trump’s* war

Netanyahu completely played Trump. Outmaneuvered every step of the way. Didn't want to look weak or out of touch so went ahead and joined US in a reckless war with Iran.

LOOK AT THIS SHIT: ICE smashed someone’s windows, yanked them out, and then arrested the United States citizen who filmed it. That’s not “immigration enforcement.” This government is out here punishing witnesses. Fascism is HERE.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Brother even PRIOR to this everybody knew that undocumented women were being - raped - STERILIZED - starved - beaten Since the early days of ICE in the BUSH era. And nobody cared.

I am terrified and disgusted thinking about the reports that will come out in the future about what undocumented women have been going through in this country during this time where masked un named men can just throw them in a van

i enervated the sting— of a relentless core devoured by doubt— a sanctuary for decrepit dreams. we distilled error and slip of the tongue, speech muted on parted lips. no parlance, no scent; no lingo we could bend; enigma’s breath— 1/2 #vss365 #parallel #writing #poetry

You pull at me like a secret tide, a vortex spiraling through my bones. I reach for solid ground, but you're everywhere. Air, flame, shadow. Even in silence, your pull deepens. There's no edge to you I can find. #vss365 #poetry #vortex

There is POWER in her pen. 📝 With words that are raw, real, and rooted in truth, Croix Bethune reflects on the meaning and celebration of Juneteenth.

"This Juneteenth, everyone, whether you're Black or otherwise, should really evaluate what does freedom look like in this country and are we willing to fight for it." Thank you for the 🔥& reminder @repjasmine.bsky.social #Juneteenth

Juneteenth is about JOY, and I have always loved the joy and laughter shared between these two great friends, Presidents Obama and Biden. President Biden will be commemorating Juneteenth today at African Methodist Episcopal church in Galveston, TX. Happy Juneteenth!!!🙏💙

Heather Cox Richardson made a short video to remember Juneteenth because our history matters. “Juneteenth is a celebration of a new nation, one that would honor the equality of all Americans - and one that we are in danger of losing as those in power set about rewriting the record” #ProudBlue

The Supreme Court I got to know when I worked in the Solicitor General’s office understood its responsibility to balance the scales of justice in favor of the powerless. Today’s SCOTUS majority doesn’t seem to have a clue. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/does-the-supreme-court-exist-to-protect

Is it possible to absolutely loathe Tucker Carlson and enjoy the fuck out of watching him destroy Ted Cruz at the same time? Asking for a friend.

Remember when Brad Lander Caught Kristi Noem Stealing $80 Million?

In one month, the US spent more than $500,000 on at least 30 YouTube ads that threaten undocumented migrants with deportation and a ban on reentry. The campaign, led by Kristi Noem, includes messages that criminalize migrants and promote “self-deportation” through the CBP One app. From April:
