What an absolute ass www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Seems like a good day to highlight the article👇 about one of the evil architects of the Trump regime’s violence + cruelty against people of colour.

CBP & other Fed goons at Home Depot in Hollywood this morning. Posted by Union del Barrio: Seems like these Gestapo pigs are operating out of the dodgers stadium parking lot

ASK YOURSELF WHO IS REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHAOS WE ARE LIVING IN AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME.

So much for MAHA.

The Constitution says that, if the president vetos a bill, Congress gets to try to override that veto. If the presidency can veto any law on the books, passed at any time, with no possibility of override, the entire Article I lawmaking process is mute—merely a non-binding suggestion.

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Amazing: MIT researchers revealed how ChatGPT etc are destroying our brains and booby-trapped the report to expose those who want to use AI to ostensibly summarize the results. t.co/JXeTALBPds

Well, then. Let’s advertise it for them. Pass it on.

“The ICE official told me they are under no obligation to tell the family or the attorneys of the detainees that they have been apprehended, or that they’ve been moved to another state, to another facility, or that they’ve been deported.” The Trump regime is disappearing people en masse.

I’m really curious who will be covering the inpatient ward shifts of the already matched residents unable to come to the US. We have ~110 full time hospitalists and there are 275 shifts in next 6 months being offered for moonlighting that nobody is signing up for cuz all so burnt out

Today in Santa Ana, Ca. Civic Center and Bristol Street. This is what children now see on their way to school.

Dem governors, mayors and councils need to place National Guard soldiers, state and local law enforcement between their residents and these goons. Period. This won't stop until they do. No one should have a problem with state and local entities ensuring compliance with laws in their jurisdictions.

The active duty soldier who was placed in on an involuntary mental health hold after speaking out about ICE abuses has been released. He was given no treatment nor diagnosis and no reason for the hold.

OMG YES… say that‼️ @tarasetmayer.bsky.social nails it. Honestly, we’ve been waiting for politicians to catch up to where the people are—and it’s getting damn late!

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Love this bit of resistance from the National Weather Service 😍

The UK prime minister discussed the possibility of a US attack on Iran at a meeting involving senior ministers and military chiefs, according to British officials briefed on the talks. www.ft.com/content/218b...

Frightening & surreal. Dragging us toward an authoritarian Dark Age 2.0? Vaccine advisers to consider MMRV vaccines, ‘thimerosal containing’ flu shots in pared-down meeting www.statnews.com/2025/06/18/r... via @statnews.com

Deporting immigrants hurts working Americans.

The WH lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". I wish that was true. But here's our reality: We are now under the "leadership" of a regime actively planning to disappear people -even CITIZENS- to war-torn nations! Silence is not our friend. SHARE this video! 🎧 #MAGAKidnappers

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

Pete Hegseth laughs openly at Senator Slotkin when she asks him directly if he’s given troops orders to shoot unarmed protesters. Your predecessor, a Republican, had more guts and balls than you who refused to send in armed troops!

We need a return to the Constitution: only Congress can declare war.

They’re not even bothering with the fake ICE costumes anymore. This should feel unacceptable to every single person in America.

Immigrants built America—and many of our greatest scientific discoveries were made possible because of them.

This is indistinguishable from the Nazi roundups of Jews

Two women were arrested after a crowd of a couple of dozen protesters surrounded ICE agents who were chasing and detained a woman in Worcester, Massachusetts. Tensions are rising as federal agents ramp up operations to enforce Trump’s cruel illegal deportation policies.

Democrats must immediately launch investigations and hold public hearings (sanctioned or unsanctioned) into why masked federal agents and ICE are snatching people off the streets without warrants, charges, or due process. @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Reminder that RFK, Jr.’s kangaroo immunization committee meets June 25-27, so make sure to get your vaccines before then unless you want to risk having to pay out of pocket. I just scheduled my shingles vaccine for Saturday — it tends to make people feel pretty crappy for a few days.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

Wait a minute...didn't we all learn from the Trump Mar-a-Lago case that doing this is totally OK, and that jailing any person for it would mean America haa a "two-tiered system of justice" that is biased against Donald Trump? Really confusing these days trying to navigate the American fascist state

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

Arresting candidates for public office under false pretenses is a thing that routinely happens in authoritarian states.

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
