1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

This is how it's done 👏🏼

It needs a few typos, grammatical errors, insults, random quote marks, and misspellings.

Since 1998 I've been writing an annual Fourth of July roundup of outrages against freedom of speech and expression. Presenting the 27th annual (I missed a year) New England Muzzle Awards. dankennedy.net/2025/06/25/t...

Political violence isn’t a punchline. It isn’t an opportunity to mock a grieving community. Families’ lives have been shattered. Sen. Lee’s comments are disgusting. www.newsweek.com/mike-lee-ass...

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

Did she just say that federal forces are staying in LA until they liberate the city from the governor and the mayor?

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Protesters instigating violence in Boston, March 5, 1770.

LAPD out there like

Seriously?!?

“Everyone has to make everything in the United States, or else!” he yells… as his family signs deal after deal for golf courses in other countries… and he accepts hundreds of millions in crypto bribes from unidentified foreign actors…

Sebastião Salgado, a celebrated Brazilian photographer whose striking images of humanity and nature in the Amazon rainforest and beyond won him some of the world’s top honors and made him a household name, has died at 81.

Imp't reminder by @asharangappa.bsky.social "... #habeascorpus is what gives you, me, & everyone else the right to get our foot into the door of a court & prevents the govt from just rounding you up in a van & disappearing you in the middle of the night." asharangappa.substack.com/p/friday-rou...

An amazing 40 seconds here. The ease with which they lie is so disturbing.

‘Lock her up!’: Trump is determined to arrest democracy and the women who defend it wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/04/30/l...

Good morning friends! Off early to my mom's for the weekend! Hope everyone has a fantastic day! Please call 202-224-3121. Between the autism report, people being sent to foreign soil and the outright racism we are in extreme danger. You can't be silent! Raise your VOICE and fight damn it 💪🏽✌🏽😎🤬

#MomSky Let's discuss the *actual* charges against Judge Hannah Dugan using the Complaint against her. tl;dr - she sent the man in question into the public hallway where agents there to arrest him watched him walk by and did nothing threadreaderapp.com/thread/19158...

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

We are way past impeachment time

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

Terrific piece in @theatlantic.com by @xochitl1977.bsky.social on generational financial security, the anxiety of not having such comfort, and the frequent cluelessness of those who do (or do now) about those who don’t.

The Associated Press wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists, citing the 1st Amendment.

Before sunrise, Trump and DOGE fired thousands of federal workers across HHS, including many of my constituents. Let’s fire DOGE and get these devoted and critical public servants back on the job. My full statement: raskin.house.gov/2025/4/raski...

“Will you demand the immediate resignation of Pete Hegseth, Michael Waltz, and the rest of the group chat” Spartz: No Crowd: Booo

Seems pretty fascism-y

SULLIVAN: “I do not care about the economy if the government claims it can break down anyone's doors, seize anyone with no due process, put them on a plane, and send them to a foreign jail… that is fundamental to this country.” 🇺🇸

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

This story is horrific and terrifying. Then, near the end, this: "The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Reupping: My running list of all the things Trump took away. I need: suggestions on usability, missing links (especially advice on how to deal with the great swath of data Trump stole). But also, if you want to steal my work and do this better, please do!!! www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/18/w...

I will fearlessly and unapologetically continue to stand up for democracy, no matter what the president says about me. Democracy Docket will do the same: www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

📌NOTE: Pay attention to these relentless attacks on @apnews.com by the authoritarians in the White House, who are trying to bury us in dangerous propaganda. 📌AP is a straight-down-the-middle news source, which keeps its eye on power. Much of the media uses their stuff because it is rock-solid.

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Pass it on: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Reports of our demise might have been premature

🔥 Rep. Al Green is not new to standing up

“Hello, New York Times, this is John Barron. I'm at Mar-a-Lago and I can tell you that President Trump just won the golf tournament again with a score so low the judges gasped. Really. Nobody in the history of golf has done better. He's an amazing athlete. And man. Everyone loves him A LOT.”

Musk & DOGE are now f*cking with the Social Security Administration. 🚨 IMPORTANT: If you or a loved one experience delayed SS payments or difficulty accessing SSDI services, CALL THE PEOPLE’S HOTLINE! Tell your story. ☎️ 503-212-4600 ☎️ Pass it on:

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.
