Weds night red states that voted for Trump— TN and NC had mudslides on I40 that just opened in Feb from damage caused by Hurricane Helene. Trump said: No more FEMA No federal funding Leave it the states You’re on your own This is tragic and just the beginning.

How do you kidnap and deport millions of people? How do you meet a quota of 3,000 apprehensions a day? Racial profiling and indiscriminate abductions. Nobody is safe: #MAGAKidnappers

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

So…here’s what I’m thinking. #ICE has got. To. BE. STOPPED! Con le buone o le cattive (as we say in Italy, “with good manners or bad!” 😒 But ICE has GOT to be STOPPED! And it’s basically a question of getting organized to help your neighbors. There are apps being born… 🧵 laist.com/news/politic...

“Justice Sotomayor also read her dissent from the bench, a move typically reserved to emphasize a justice’s extreme displeasure with a decision.” She right says SCOTUS has ‘abandoned transgender children to political whims.’ Get RW religious fascism off our bodies! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/u...

Dear friends & allies, Please know that the majority of Americans did not vote for this. We oppose this miserable narcissist. We're horrified by his party for their complicity. We haven't changed. We are your friends. We will defeat this. Please forgive us. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Senator Alex Padilla gives an emotional speech on the floor. He discusses his experience of being detained by agents while trying to ask Kristi Noem a question about immigration policies. He also was escorted by a FBI agent & a national guardsman who knew exactly who he was but stood by silently.

Every time this clown leaves the country he embarrasses us on the world stage.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

Yassss! Go Team 💙

Grateful they have apprehended the suspect and for the leadership of Gov. Walz.

Happy Barack Obama Appreciation Day!!! #ObamaAppreciationDay

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.

The suggestion that Kristi Noem, a white woman, is the "delicate, beautiful, tiny" victim after a Latino man is physically dragged out of a room fits into the admin's pretext of criminality it attaches to people who are not white. Like Rep. LaMonica McIver.

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 #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

They’re not heroes. They’re cosplayers with badges

Really poignant piece of street art from artist TopZ out of Seattle!

This is real leadership and regard for others, from the son of an immigrant. Then Mayor Pete Buttigieg in 2019, addressing the Muslim community in his hometown after the New Zealand attack. “you are not only exercising a right but also bearing a gift”

Courage knows no label. Mark’s bravery reminds us that heroism comes in all forms, and that true patriotism is defined by action, not identity. Let his legacy forever stand as proof that love of country, selflessness, and heroism belong to everyone. 🕊️🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈

It's not just Harvey Milk. The Navy is considering renaming ships named after Harriet Tubman, Thurgood Marshall, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, among others.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

I’ll give this Tesla owner a pass

Sounds like he should have been cutting back on his substance use, not our federal government.

“Let me, therefore, reiterate today the Church’s solidarity with journalists who are imprisoned for seeking and reporting the truth. The precious gift of free speech and of the press must be safeguarded.” #PopeLeoXIV

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Both of these guys served in military reserve units, and both served in combat zones. The guy on the left is a Rhodes scholar, speaks several languages, plays several different musical instruments, and is mega smart. The guy on the right has, well, check out Wikipedia for yourself; it's a doozy.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1970: Four dead in Ohio. Members of the Ohio National Guard open fire on more than 300 anti-Vietnam War demonstrators at Kent State University, killing four students, wounding eight and paralyzing another. /1
