What the hell is this? What have we become?

It was never about celebrating the military. There are thousands of veterans who need real help, but instead this is what they choose to spend money on. #nokingsday

Is he on the commode?

Dallas, deep red, oil-soaked, and MAGA-aligned is now flooded with anti-Trump protesters. A city once thought untouchable has joined the rebellion. The tide is turning.

@padilla.senate.gov: "Imagine what they are doing to a lot of folks who may not feel free to speak up... and there's not cameras there to capture how they may or may not be treated. That's the big takeaway. This should be a wake up call for everybody across the country."

More Pritzkers please ✊👊

"The HHS document says that another paper it cites found 'an increase in placental blood clotting in pregnant mothers who took the vaccine.' But the paper doesn't contain any reference to placental blood clots or to pregnant women." www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

💯 A huge win for democracy and blow to little dictator donald

Drumpf and his incompetent admin is responsible

I am ashamed of this country. We are supposed to be a melting pot of cultures. Celebrating eachother and our differences. I am sick to my stomach.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

How fucking stupid are these people?

The head of the FDA tells us they're taking a look at the dietary guidelines and that the food pyramid is out. The food pyramid has not been in use since 2011 when MyPlate replaced it.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

“Pretty much wherever you are, you’re probably less than 30 minutes away from your closest No Kings event.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social with @democracynow.org We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

We feed you. They hunt us.

Update on this powerful story: Listen to Julie Ear share what it’s like to say goodbye to her mom—who just self-deported to Mexico. Her mom worked harder than most American citizens. We should be honored to know families like theirs.

Yay!!! Oh wait, China threatened the ban in April 2025 in response to Drumpf's tariffs. Sooo, should Drumpf get credit for maybe partially in fixing what he broke. Fuck no.

No matter where they stand with each other, I stand against BOTH. Musky has proven that he is driven by power & greed. I used to think he cared for people's safety & climate. I was fooled. Not again. I was never fooled about Drumpf--pure inhumane incompetent grifting revenge.

“They’re not trained for this” Retired General warns mobilizing Marines in LA could backfire.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

🌻 Greta Thunberg being released... the internetWorld is gunna explode on this one c'mon lets make this interview statement Famous!!

"Last February, GlobalFoundries was awarded $1.5 billion in federal funding through the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, $125 million of which went to the company’s Vermont plant. In December, the company secured nearly $10 million in additional federal funds to bolster operations in Essex Junction."

Stand back. Rescind this illegal, and immoral order. The absurdity of threatening the people of the United States with their own military— Act like the Commander-in-Chief. If you want to be president, at least try to play the part. Fake it, if nothing else. Stand back— We’ll clean up your mess.

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...
