#Florida sheriff who threatened to kill "No Kings" protesters has a history of corruption, racial profiling and bribery accusations www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

People will deadass try to say hating queers to death and believing your religion condones any willful violence "isn't political"

State can seat grand jury to probe clergy sex abuse, New Jersey’s top court rules — "This institution — and any other, not just the church — that deals with the public should not be above the law or free from public accountability." newjerseymonitor.com/2025/06/16/s...

Was anyone else in New Jersey joining the mass movement immigration zoom? It was supposed to start at 5. Wondering if it got moved/canceled.

The intense heat inside the tents in Gaza is only part of the crisis, as swarms of flies and mosquitoes infest these tents as a result of the complete absence of sewage services and the decomposition of accumulated waste, making daily life unbearable.

Oh my god these attack ads against Mamdani for Cuomo are incredibly stupid and disgusting. They are basically exactly what Trump says. It’s the worst fear mongering. For the love of god New Yorkers don’t rank Cuomo.

People get shot for being suspected of stealing 20 bucks and he walked away from the scene of multiple murders unharmed. We have to talk about what is public safety?

No one ever talks about how more than a million people (right away and like 1000 a week since) died from COVID and how those losses might affect kids. Nevermind the people who developed chronic health issues.

#Newark "there is still no drinkable water..." "attorneys were being turned away on Saturday" Geo, the company running this facility, is being paid $60 million a year for this.

Alive huh

This is what’s so important about the Ms. Marvel idea of “good is not something you are, it’s something you do.” And constantly interrogating our own beliefs and actions. Putting any ideology ahead of human life is dangerous.

Alright everyone, one last push. If you or anyone you know is: - LGBTQ+ - 13-24 years old - In the US Trevor Project is recruiting responses for their survey on LGBTQ+ mental health. It has HUGE impacts on policy, please take it and share widely if you can :) trvr.org/survey2025

“Honored as [M4L] 2023 Legislator of the Year & a speaker at their 2022 summit, May’s arrest highlights a … familiar contradiction: an organization that accuses the queer community of “grooming” children has repeatedly been linked to … individuals directly involved in child-related sex offenses.”

Is this public safety?

Seems like time to turn off your door cameras. Unplug Alexas. Do not be part of getting your neighbors kidnapped. Companies will not protect anyone’s data.

assassins dress like cops bc that’s who’s allowed to murder people in broad daylight

A California cop shot a photojournalist in the HEAD during a protest—despite him standing alone, wearing a press badge, and filming from a distance. We're past the "bad apple" stage, folks.

Violence is only the answer when you believe in Jesus I guess

If you flew from Boston to Miami on Jet Blue Flight 639 on June 8th, you might have been exposed to measles. None of the reporting that I've seen says anything about where the infected person went after landing in Miami.

Hearing from so many people, including people with their kids, who didn't feel safe after LAPD/LASD started attacking peaceful protesters — and then were unable to get home. If you took transit to DTLA and got stranded I'd love to hear from you

I know this is controversial but I don't think we need to pay anybody to assault senior citizens. We can defund this 100%.

How far now… we are kidnapping and deporting people for what they write. How long til executions.

I have been putting this on in the background a lot lately. I’ve been thinking that Giles is who Whedon wishes he was, but he is actually a worse version of Xander.

We got married a couple weeks after 9/11 w/ reception in a round floor to ceiling glass environmental center w/ view of a still smoldering lower manhattan, and it still wasn’t as sad or unattended as that parade.

we can confirm that hillsborough, chapel hill, pittsboro, greensboro, asheville, and durham NC (and the outer banks) all had #nokings protests - none of them are on the NYTimes map.

Stephen Miller is deliberately choosing to focus more resources on non-criminals—and thus away from dangerous criminals. Law enforcement insiders have leaked word of their anger over exactly this. https://trib.al/XxEuHPU

Yesterday at the Miami “No Kings” rally this pair arrived dressed in tactical gear to intimidate attendees & illegally impersonate ICE agents. Let’s meet father & son team 55 yr old Rolando “Roly” Levielle & his 23 yr old son Anthony Levielle of Cutler Bay, FL. 🧵1/

What a nightmare
