Every day is Obama Appreciation Day #EveryMonthIsBlackHistoryMonth

A report by House Judiciary Committee Democrats cited several instances of the president freeing Jan. 6 rioters and white collar criminals from their financial obligations.

Even the Russians are mocking Trump’s disaster of a parade. This one’s going to sting.🤣

A better world is possible. From DC to LA, we are united to reject this administration’s agenda of violence and celebrate one another instead. #FreeDC

Obama has more humanity and class in his little pinky than there is in the entirety of the current administration.

A national infestation #ICE

Stephen Miller is a ghoul

SO GOOD!

I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

Posting this Obama clip because it makes me happy. O, how times have changed! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP9A...

Love this! We must keep up the pressure! #Indivisible youtu.be/89jmD-Y1Rvs?...

The Hortman family helped raise and train dogs to partner with veterans. One of the many reasons we will miss Melissa and Mark.

Millions marched in cities across the U.S. on Saturday as part of the nationwide "No Kings" demonstrations, according to event organizers

“No Kings Day”: A compilation

Fantastic sign. Love it!

If Trump actually cared about our military, he could take that $45 million to improve our VA Hospitals and repay the heroes who served our country with honor. Instead, he's using our military as props to celebrate his birthday.

Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.

It most certainly is!

Without a Doubt...

A nice little respite amongst the madness.

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.

Rebellions are built on Hope #ObamaAppreciationDay #BarackObamaDay #BarackObama

Marines have detained an American citizen in Los Angeles. Another line crossed. Marines are trained to protect American citizens , not arrest them.

Donald Trump just weaponized U.S. Marines in L.A.—detaining a U.S. Army vet with zip ties outside a federal building. This isn’t protection. It’s authoritarian theater, a grotesque show of force aimed at scaring lawful dissent into silence. Rights

The Marines are trained to defend our country—not to handle traffic stops and tape-line enforcement. Using them for petty civilian detentions isn’t just unconstitutional—it’s a waste of our national defense. Every minute spent policing U.S. streets makes us less safe where it actually matters.

As a former captain who commanded infantry at Twentynine Palms, I know these Marines deserve better than Trump's corruption and Hegseth's incompetence. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

It’s simple: Trump’s tariffs are crushing America's small businesses. Big tech got exemptions because they had money and access. Small businesses didn’t -- but they deserve the same relief. My bill would fix that.

Kristi Noem should resign in disgrace.

What happened to Sen. Padilla is a disgrace. Elected officials are supposed to speak for the people. When the government starts throwing Senators to the ground for doing that, we’ve left democracy behind. You don’t have to wonder what a fascist regime looks like. This is it.

What would we say if this were happening in another country? Democratic U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla of California cuffed, shoved out of Noem press event minnesotareformer.com/2025/06/12/r...

My statement on the Republicans’ catastrophic recissions package:

Republicans called on Gov. Tim Walz to apologize for calling ICE agents "modern-day Gestapo.” Instead, he said agents weren’t giving people due process and “the Constitution is not an inconvenience.”

I went to Senate and House Republican leadership’s office today demanding they support an investigation into the attack on Senator Padilla. Unsurprisingly, they lack a backbone in the face of this administration’s lawlessness.

The order takes effect at noon Friday and says the deployment of the Guard was illegal, violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded Trump's statutory authority.
