Just a reminder that Republicans in Congress could put a stop to this at any time.

Mystal: It all goes back to Dobbs. It tells everyone on that side that they’re open for business to take away, to smash, every civil right they don’t like. We’re living in the post-Dobbs era.. it’s going to take some time before the country has a moment of clarity about what’s really happened here.

Mahmoud Khalil is free.

A win! Federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to bar international students from enrolling at Harvard. The preliminary injunction, issued by a Boston court, allows roughly 7,000 Harvard students and recent graduates to continue studying and working legally in the U.S.

SAY IT PLAIN: Federal “ICE officers” should not be anonymous. And this shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

Ouch. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

"The town Select Board is reviewing claims the ICE processing center is being used as detention center against their zoning code by keeping detainees in inadequate conditions for longer than a few hours, as originally intended..." www.nbcboston.com/news/local/b...

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

“The fundamental civic unit in this nation is neighbor.” - @jelaniya.bsky.social 🇺🇸

It is without question that Donald J. Trump will be the stupidest person in history to decide whether or not to kill other humans in a new war.

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

OMG YES… say that‼️ @tarasetmayer.bsky.social nails it. Honestly, we’ve been waiting for politicians to catch up to where the people are—and it’s getting damn late!

Trump has doubled down on his calls for ICE to get even more aggressive and unlawful, particularly in blue states and big cities. State Attorneys General have real power to fight back, and we need to put the pressure on Democratic AGs to use every tool at their disposal to hold ICE in check. 👇

WATCH: The official social media account for the U.S. Border Patrol posted a bizarre "hype video" to celebrate an ICE raid on a flea market in Santa Fe.

Who agrees? ✋

Our Constitution is clear: Only Congress has the power to declare war. Yet, administrations too often bypass this fundamental check, plunging us into conflicts that cost countless lives, drain our resources, and destabilize entire regions. We cannot allow this to happen again.

Call me cautious, but I’m not optimistic about a war run by a reality TV show Commander-in-Chief and his TV talk show chatterbox Secretary of Defense.

Some parts of the federal government are grinding to a halt and it’s not because of a shutdown. It’s because of Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

These ICE goons are completely out of control. Arresting US Citizens, elected officials, and terrorizing our communities. Comptroller Lander was simply asking for the warrant.

No Kings… Ever!! 🗽

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

“Until they become conscious they will never rebel and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.” George Orwell, 1984 What will it take for the entire country to “become conscious”? #Voices4Victory

I was literally taught my whole life that if someone in plain clothes and a mask tries to detain you and refuses to identify themselves, you call 911 and you’re absolutely within your rights to not comply for safety reasons. What’s happening is kidnapping. Full stop.

“Running the government like a business” is just another way of saying that we should privatize government services afforded to everyone. You know who would love that? Wall Street and big corporations. Don’t buy into the myth. https://youtu.be/hqn1uD_B70U?si=aClsRAYTJHYGXpB4

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

"June 14 may have signaled the start of a new chapter of his tenure. That is, a new chapter of pushback amid a sense of growing peril..." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

TODAY: Let’s discuss what’s next after #NoKings. On tonight’s call, we’ll talk about how we can ensure that the incredible organizing and inspiring courage of Saturday’s protests continue to spread with concrete action steps to overcome authoritarianism. RSVP now: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Suspect has been captured in MN!

When NO KINGS reigns over your parade. #SAD 🤣

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

"Because we see our democracy's in real trouble. We see a president who has made himself a king and dictator." "We're disgusted and we're scared, and we know the only way to fight this now is for the people to come together." - @markruffalo.bsky.social on why he's at the #NoKings event in NYC

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

Raskin: And the moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people. That is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again .
