I'm proud to be producing the Unite4Veterans livestream this Friday. I have some great friends like @fpwellman.bsky.social involved in this project and it should be amazing. Tune in and support our veterans!

This is a new level of evil — a Wisconsin man allegedly sent handwritten threats against Donald Trump in an attempt to get another man deported.

since we can't post the entire video on bluesky, here's a snippet:

1/2 Today in Minneapolis, ICE/FBI raided a taco restaurant, yes, you read that correctly, a taco restaurant, dressed in full battle gear—long guns, body armor, the whole damn militarized show. Do they think they’re in a war zone? This is about instilling terror, rooted in racism. It won’t work.

Yes, this is what I want to hear from Dems. I would vote for Pete 2028. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjVDs2U9/

The Federal Agency responsible for enforcing the Military Lending Act was shut down by Taco and the Republican Party because the Republican Party doesn't care about veterans, the military, or our families. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Americans are taking to the streets and showing up in US cities by the thousands to protest a plethora of President Donald Trump’s second-term policies—from trans rights to travel bans from foreign nations and deportation policies. This is a WIRED guide on how to best protest safely.

I asked Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the IRS if the President can legally tell the IRS to target a specific taxpayer. He couldn’t give me a straight answer.

The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

Love this. Good people stepping up when the system fails our kids.

This morning I’m fighting back against Donald Trump’s executive order that targeted me. And I’m calling on government watchdogs to investigate the Trump Administration — because “revenge orders” have no place in America. 👇 open.substack.com/pub/treason/...

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Ed Martin was too extreme for GOP senators. Now, he’s at the DOJ, and former department attorneys are concerned he will use his new positions to spread disinformation, undermine future elections and target political opponents. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

ICE’s Gestapo 👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔 tactics… …aimed at TOURISTS 😳 … …have resulted in the following countries issuing: 🚨 TRAVEL ADVISORY WARNINGS 🚨 …to their citizens considering traveling to the USA. 🚫 Canada 🇨🇦 Denmark 🇩🇰 Finland 🇫🇮 Germany 🇩🇪 UK 🇬🇧 Ireland 🇮🇪 Netherlands 🇳🇱 Australia 🇦🇺

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

🚨 ICE agents in masks and no uniforms abducting people from a Phoenix immigration court - no ID, no explanation, no due process. This is not law enforcement. This is authoritarianism. Demand accountability. Stay loud. Stay informed. Stay safe.

So a public company that in 2024 had $3.62 million in total revenue (somewhat better than the average McDonald’s restaurant) and suffered a $401 million net loss is raising $2.5 billion in capital to buy … {checks notes} … bitcoin. Guess whose company it is. www.reuters.com/business/tru...

Some dumb Nazi thought it would be a good idea to wear a SS shirt to the Punk Rock Bowling festival in Vegas over the weekend….as expected it didn’t go well for the guy

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

One of the Earliest Memorial Day Ceremonies Was Held by Freed African Americans www.history.com/articles/mem...

🧵 "Memorial Day began with newly freed Black Americans in 1865, unearthing and honoring Union soldiers whose bodies had been discarded like trash, yet that origin story is rarely taught." By Shari Dunn @qualified-sharid.bsky.social www.linkedin.com/pulse/memori...

This piece is really good

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

NEW in @prospect.org: Much has been made of Elon Musk stepping back from DOGE. But RDP research finds that at least 46 DOGE staffers have direct financial or professional ties to Musk and his companies—indicating that the billionaire will have lasting power over the group.

Why Trump Is So Obsessed With White South Africans https://twp.ai/4imkjU

Democrats in Congress: Investigate and expose why ICE is allowed to operate in masks and conceal their identities. There is no acceptable scenario where this should be permitted. @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems
