ICE really wants to go into discovery for a trial?

Brown shirts didn’t hide their faces. You gotta work hard to be lower than the brown shirts

It’s just so wild that every Fox guest and host 24/7 for days has had this exact same message. Same thing they did in 2002, beating the drums of war with a single message all day, every day. Dissent will not be tolerated because war is great ratings.

If you weren’t alarmed, incensed, shocked & horrified by the actions of Kristi Noem, the FBI, and Homeland Security last week, you’re NOT paying attention. May I suggest you look into finding a civics class to attend, pronto!! substack.com/@demwinsmedi...

Wonder when the New York Times will bring the story of the city's comptroller and a candidate for Mayor who was grabbed and detained by ICE higher on the homepage. There's a lot of news today, I get it. But this is New York. And it's authoritarianism right out in the open.

It’s actually terrifying that instead of passing laws to require ID & badges for law enforcement @marshablackburn, Speaker Sexton, Jack Johnson & the @TNGOP are going to criminalize transparency and put the law behind masked vigilantes in unmarked vans disappearing people by force.

Universal healthcare should be a basic human right Affordable housing should be a basic human right Clean air and water should be a basic human right Access to healthy food should be a basic human right No one should be forced to live in legislated poverty when we could easily provide for all

my favorite ben domenech fact is that after being fired for plagiarizing pj o'rourke he was then fired again a few years later for taking payola from the malaysian government.

Oof. You knows it's bad when Tucker Carlson makes you look like the dumb one.

Kristi Noem doesn't need your prayers. She's got the super duper healthcare coverage that wealthy Americans hoard for themselves. To be clear, the Americans who don't have healthcare don't need your prayers either. They need universal healthcare.

This makes me MAD! It is so WRONG!

A Black woman in a wheelchair found herself trapped among protesters. A line cook heading home feom work was caught in a cloud of tear gas, and an unhoused woman sitting on a bench was grabbed and shoved towards protesters. Read the full report by @shoton35mm.bsky.social lataco.com/homeless-get...

Dr. Drew Pinsky compares peaceful protesters to murders. Television doctors who exploit people suffering from addiction aren't really known for having the highest ethics.

Just pure unadulterated racism on Fox:

democratic leaders are operating like the mike lee thing is just a slip up by one guy instead of how the entire movement thinks. im tired of it. this is who they are. theyve been like this for decades. whether its goldwater opposing civil rights, reagan attacking welfare recipients or wmds

It was heartening to realize that people all over the world see the mental instability, gross incompetence, and fascist aspirations of the person occupying the White House. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-just-got...

Sure #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer cuts health care for the poor while steering trillions to the rich — but hey at least it also explodes the deficit! @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

We're a decade into this shit and I still cannot get my mind around how America put the single worst human being it has produced in the postwar era in charge not once but twice.

If the immigrants were white, they would be treated like human beings by white Conservative Americans. There would be compassion and kindness. There would be creativity in seeking solutions. There would be no lazy stereotypes or racial slurs. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-right-...

Meet Blanca #A5704883, a sweet little 5 month old husky mix, surrendered alongside her two siblings. She arrived just June 5 and is quickly running out of time. Located in Palmdale CA, we have to help her. Please repost/share and pledge if you're able...

Thank you, Madam Speaker. In loving memory of Melissa Hortman, 1970-2025. @governorwalz.mn.gov #melissahortman #Demcast #ProudBlue #Demvoice1 #ThankyouMadamSpeaker

#handsoff #nokings Love my Gov 💕

I wish for Noem all the kindness and empathy she has shown others.

Colorado's KNUS-AM played a key role in boosting unsupported claims that the 2020 election was rigged by Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems. KNUS' owner, Salem Radio, is now offering an apology and retraction.

10 years ago today, nine people were killed at Mother Emanuel AME Church by an 18-year-old who obtained a firearm due to the “Charleston Loophole.” We have a responsibility use every tool at our disposal to close this dangerous gap and keep our communities safe from gun violence.

Day 67. 😏

Gonna level with you bro I think DHS needs to be dissolved after this. Regardless of what national security functions fall under its remit, it's clearly institutionally constructed in such a way allows it to be used as an unaccountable tool of executive power. Can't reform your way out of that.

This is obscene. This country has abandoned any pretense of decency.

Donald will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate, he is weak and he is ineffective.

I believe this with every fiber of my being… he’s getting angrier. This is not good for us… he’s vengeful 😩👇🏼

This is perfect! Mark Carney is my new crush 😍
