BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

The people of Utah should be organizing a recall election of Mike Lee right now, or be viewed as an embarrassment to all of us and the world! He really qualifies Asshole of the Week!!

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office says the Trump administration broke the law by withholding funding for the nation’s libraries as part of its federal reorganization plan. The G.A.O. will sue if the administration continues to block funds already approved by Congress.

It's hard to know if Trump is aware that everyone cringes when opens his mouth. Surrounded by lackeys at home, does he even know how stupid he sounds? Probably not, but at least the other leaders saw #NoKings and can talk intelligently to each other.

Trump is at G7 in Canada. In a press conference Trump just defended PUTIN. He said Putin is upset he was kicked out when it was G8, and he AGREES WITH PUTIN. Trump is a Putin lap dog. KRASNOV speaks in Canada.

Disgusting

At the No Kings protest in Salt Lake City, a gunman opened fire on the crowd that was protesting dictator-wannabe Trump and his fascist authoritarian regime. Two people were shot and one is in critical condition. There is no amount of violence that will silence our voices. 🙌💪

Got news for him: no kings in this country! It's time. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

What other proof do Republicans need to believe Trump wants to be a dictator? The hot mic gets him every time. @briantylercohen.bsky.social

While there’s an active manhunt for the Trump supporter who went on a shooting spree against Democrats, Trump is laser focused on what really matters: whining that meteorologists botched the forecast for his birthday parade.

"Again and again, I arrived at the same conclusion without fail: no, my eyes did not deceive me and my standards are not too high and I’m not being unfair. That was, hands down, the worst military parade I’ve ever seen." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/the-worst-...

And recall the Proud Boys and Tarrio were pardoned by POTUS47 for inciting terror and insurrection on Jan6

Narrator: when 3.5% of the population peacefully protests in public, authoritarianism can be defeated.* 🇺🇸Americans🇺🇸 reached this milestone on June 14, 2025.

Dying 😂😂😂

No surprise: Following the assassination of Minnesota House Democratic Leader Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman, and the shooting of Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette Hoffman — vindictive and petty piece of shit Trump has still not called Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

🤔

Awesome job to all the honourable Americans fighting for their democracy. I am so incredibly honoured to stand with you. Sending enormous love and support from Canada. You WILL prevail against this evil. ♥️🫶🏼 Final post for today. Enjoy.

The US Army can march in unison. Synchronized. I don’t think they wanted to…

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

spoken like a diehard White Sox fan

Such a perfect retort.

Thank you for your attention to this matter! #NoKings

The demagoguery of immigration has long been at the centre of Donald Trump’s political rise, and Stephen Miller’s desire to make America whiter and less diverse, married with the power of the presidency without guardrails, is incredibly dangerous and should concern every American... bit.ly/3HFQssy

Schiff: "In the first administration, there were at least a few people in the cabinet of some independence who could say, 'No, Mr. President, that's a lawless idea, that's a stupid idea.' But there's no one in this current admin to tell POTUS 'that's a stupid idea'... there's nothing but sycophants"

To our friends & allies across the globe who today stood in solidarity with those of us in the US who are angry, scared, & mortified: thank you for your grace, your light, & your empathy. Thank you for your support of those of us who aren't in the cult. We see you & are grateful.

Huge crowd in NYC!

Today we let the world know what all Americans believe….

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

The fairytale romance continues …

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

What if he threw a $45 million parade and nobody came? Boring. Low energy. Sad!

It’s amazing that NBC created a reality show around a fake billionaire firing people who is the worst person in the world at hiring competent and qualified people.

Foxtrot Delta Taco.

#SleepyDon fell asleep at his own parade.

Tambourines. Trumpets. "Blasting horns so the little fuckers had a terrible sleep.” Demonstrators outside LA-area hotels—where ICE agents are believed to be sleeping—are employing creative methods to keep those agents awake. @annamerlan.bsky.social writes on "No sleep for ICE."

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.
