THE VIEW: Do you feel safe as an elected official in this political climate? JASMINE CROCKETT: No. Not at all.

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

ICE denied U.S. Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) entry into it’s facility in Chicago.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

Kristi Noem went to the hospital because she visited a recently closed infectious diseases lab with RFK Jr and God is sorry but that is funny as fuck.

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

Where I'm at, energy-wise, with all this idiocy going down.

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

“.. Last month, food inflation climbed to 0.3% month-on-month, its fastest pace since 2021. “.. While tariff pressures may have something to do with this price growth, the escalation in the Middle East poses an additional upside risk that hasn’t yet shown itself ..” - @johnauthers.bsky.social

Another SPACE X explosion

“Ask your Supreme Court Justice which medical procedure is right for you.”

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

A 7-year-old lioness reunites with the man who raised her after she was abandoned as a cub 🦁❤️ He slept beside her outside so she'd grow up as naturally as possible. Now she tackles him with love-hugs, face rubs, pure joy-until they collapse in a pile of trust. 🫶 #WildBond #HeartmeltingNature

I think Green Day summed it up well.

Thinking about the Lindsey Fish today

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.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

Would you look at that.

WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.” Tucker Carlson embarrasses @sentedcruz as he pushes for war with Iran

Mike Lee should be censored for his remarks following the MN shootings. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A CIVILIZED SOCIETY. Better yet, EXPELLED.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.
