Welcome home brave hero! 🤗 "Hello, sunshine. I'm home, in Ukraine. Everything is fine"

An important history lesson from the Grandmother of Juneteenth herself. op: blkcultureunlocked (via TikTok)

The only business Trump has been successful at is conning people.

This is an insurrection.

Two members of the National Guard were worried ICE would grab her at her immigration hearing so they accompanied her, in uniform www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjW54SmP/

What a deeply heartfelt and yet screwed up situation.

The license plate thing is actually something I’d been having questions about (were they using government plate, for example). Knowing that there’s actually none at all makes it much worse.

The gradual centralization of the US political system has stoked policy instability, with presidents now ruling by emergency powers and executive action. Writer @alasdairroberts.bsky.social‬ asks: What happens when the wrong person’s in charge? thewalrus.ca/trump-presidency/

What an excellent piece by Jamelle Bouie @jamellebouie.net -- here's a gift link so you can read it without the paywall: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/o...

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

Don't tell me not to live Just sit and putter Life's candy and the sun's A ball of butter Don't bring around a cloud To rain on my parade

The Department of Defense was created to protect us, but who is going to protect us from THEM?

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

The suggestion that Kristi Noem, a white woman, is the "delicate, beautiful, tiny" victim after a Latino man is physically dragged out of a room fits into the admin's pretext of criminality it attaches to people who are not white. Like Rep. LaMonica McIver.

At the brink of war, our military is being led by an incompetent drunk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tUo...

The first civilian detained by U.S. Marines in Los Angeles was an ARMY VETERAN on his way to a VA APPOINTMENT

One aspect of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that isn't getting enough attention?  It would give ICE tens of billions in additional funding to conduct more violent raids and abductions across the country. A big, ugly, authoritarian nightmare.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Think of ICE as one of those crooked Florida police departments in small towns that pulls over *thousands* of drivers on I-95 for *any* reason to meet quotas for tickets. Stephen Miller has given ICE quotas for arrests and they will meet those quotas whether the arrestees deserve it or not.

Former Jan. 6 defendant Kyle Colton says Donald Trump's pardon also covers his child pornography charge because it stemmed from the J6 search warrant. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Literally describing themselves as occupying a blue state like hostile territory with the military and federal forces.

Wow I hadn't seen this hallway footage. Really bad.

Senate Republicans just confirmed an IRS Commissioner who: 1) Supported legislation that would abolish the IRS 2) Doesn’t know the law 3) Has a track record of doing whatever Donald Trump tells him to do It’s dangerous and absurd.

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question. Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.) The Trump regime is out of control.

Kamala Harris in October: “[Trump] considers any American who doesn’t support him or bend to his will to be an enemy to our country, and further, he says that as commander-in-chief, he would use our military to go after them.”

"On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else..." www.nokings.org
