Federal and local law enforcement wearing masks is just plain unamerican. It’s a cowards move, and shows the fact that the kinds of deportations happening and the methods are, shameful and unpopular. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

A federal judge in Tennessee just denied the government’s request to keep Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia locked up while it appeals his release. Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. upheld the magistrate’s order to free Abrego Garcia,

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm. We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

Nothing screams 'freedom' quite like arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.

Zohran Mamdani: "In the words of Nelson Mandela, it always seems impossible until it is done. My friends, we have done it. I will be your Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City."

Folks can argue about the relevancy of the “Democratic socialist” label all day. But if that’s what you’re hung up on, you’re missing the larger point. People aren’t chasing labels. They’re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change. 🧵

Crockett: The First Lady, a model— when I say model I’m not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell level— applied for an Einstein visa. You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement… She had none of those. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see the math ain’t mathin

THIS is what we need from our leaders. Somebody with character... fire... and a willingness to call out the corrupt politicians destroying our Democracy. Americans - look closely at what happened in the NY City Mayoral race. THIS IS THE FORMULA www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1Af...

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Gunna post this everyday until we are this again! youtu.be/G6lxpt8lzbo

I'm watching the HBO documentary on the Ohio State sexual abuse case that should've come out before the election, and wow. It's gutting and hard to watch, but I wish everyone would. And Jim Jordan is a big fat liar and despicable person. But you all knew that.

🤨

I haven't been able to fact-check this in the media, but that doesn't surprise me. I sure hope it's true, though.

My niece. I raised her right.

The right wing and Fox launched a smear campaign against Newsom. In the past, he might’ve ignored it—but he’s seen how right-wing trolls work with Fox to create false narratives. So this time, Newsom responded immediately. No hesitation.

61 years ago today, the Klan murdered three civil rights workers in Mississippi. One of them was a childhood friend. I'd like to share what he meant to me. https://youtu.be/u-kv3wdqqNo?si=Zc3Uh-CJOcODt-RW

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

After a MAGA supporter killed a Democratic lawmaker and her husband, Sen. Mike Lee mocked the tragedy and questioned the shooter’s ties. Ken Harbaugh talks with Kris Goldsmith on the threat of political violence. @krisgoldsmith85.bsky.social Watch the full video here: youtu.be/mY6gf9xm6To

Finally some good news ❤️

LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.

Kind of seems that way

Just wow!

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.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Hard to argue with that.

Republicans just elected a neocon who's stripping healthcare from 14 million Americans and exploding the deficit by $4 trillion to pay for another war in the middle east.

“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)

Now that's a military parade I'd want to watch! #nokings #puppies

Moulton: I have heard that a lot of officers are considering resigning their commissions because they question whether this is constitutional—whether they’re violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not the president, by carrying out these orders. These are active discussions

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don’t even have the right words yet to describe today, but I know I’ll carry it with me for a long time. Thousands of us came together in Oklahoma City to march in the rain. We showed up because the stakes are too high to sit this one out. ⏬ 1/4 #NoKings
