My dogs don't have a Ph.D. a bank account or property but they are priceless. They don't plot or plan. They are just ready. If I were more like a dog I would be a pretty good man. https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-tashjian-a96517107/

I'm a pediatrician. I’m pissed. I’m scared. And I need your help to defeat Lindsey Graham in the U.S. Senate. I’m not the “monsters-under-the-bed” kind of scared. I’m the “I’ve watched children suffer from preventable illness and injury while politicians do absolutely nothing” kind of scared.

The CDC is rehiring more than 400 people who had received layoff notices. Around half of those employees are in the National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD and Tuberculosis Prevention. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

"More violent protests out of LA' the violence in question...

NEW: Today was the deadline for the govt to explain to Boasberg the plan to facilitate due process for ALL the men in CECOT. Instead, they filed a motion to stay. They claim the GOVERNMENT - not the men in the foreign torture prison - will suffer harm: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Leadership: The most important office is the office of citizen… I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress and fear, but I want you to know that you are the anecdote to that fear and anxiety. #Pinks

Kim Jong-Trump

The Silence of the Generals.

When he says "huge swaths" of Santa Monica look like "failed third world nations" what he means specifically is that there are brown people out in public

Rural voter here. This is beyond fucked up and ICE needs to be destroyed.

Pope Leo is coming

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Gavin Newsom - If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. #cdnpoli

Maybe they really were ICE officers. Or maybe they were a band of vigilantes, arbitrarily snatching brown-looking people off the street. All eyes are now on LA, but secret police are descending upon smaller towns nationwide too. Masked and armed, they refuse to show IDs or warrants. wapo.st/4kIGFke

Members of Congress should be banned from having side hustles and salaries from the companies they regulate… or trading stocks in the companies they regulate… or taking campaign donations from the companies they regulate… These are all examples of corruption. popular.info/p/congressma...

I suspect in the days ahead we will hear a large number of people saying publicly what no one has been saying publicly. I suspect everyone reading this knows what I am referring to. A POTUS who falsely accuses Democratic leaders of paying for a military invasion of the United States is a madman.

Chicago ICE Protests!

Stand tall Governor Newsom; this is your moment. We have your back.

This morning, I signed an Executive Order seeking greater transparency from ICE in response to secret police tactics we have seen. The City of Boston will regularly submit FOIA requests to DHS on federal immigration enforcement activity, to find out who they are detaining and arresting, and why.

Let's not let the noise, perpetrated by don, distract us from the important news

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

Karen Bass: "On Saturday night, the president tweeted that 'because of the great work of the National Guard, the protests & the violence was curtailed.' The National Guard wasn't even here. They didn't even arrive until the next day. That's why it's very hard to not see this as a stunt or test case"

This is my friend's video from Santa Ana, CA in OC. The Santa Ana PD had this situation totally under control. It was peaceful. Then ICE came in to provoke & attack. ICE is a terrorist secret police Gestapo-style band of thugs, posers, mercenaries & miscreants Speak up Call Congress: 202-224-3121

Can’t help but think this obviously manufactured chaos is all because the orange felon failed with his stupid bill, his tariff trade war, his BS economic plan, the jobs report and of course because he’s in the Epstein files. Trying to distract with a civil war is peak fascism.

LA police make mass arrests as protesters defy overnight curfew

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military: “We don't take an oath to a King. We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator” “We take an oath to the Constitution." #FreedomToDissent

This was the plan the entire time and it was always going to be targeted towards Democratic run cities. It’s not about law and order. It’s about controlling by force the areas where Trump does not control by ideology.

Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsberg agreed on almost nothing ideologically, but were fast friends. Here, they’re asked whether undocumented immigrants have 1st Amendment and other Constitutional rights. Easy question—both agree: yes, all persons within U.S. enjoy its legal protections.🇺🇸

I’ll never get over John Fetterman betraying everyone who stood by him, supported him, defended him and cheered him on from hateful attacks by Nazis like Steve Bannon who he is now happily dining with in DC. He’s a fraudulent disgrace.
