Fight back... It may be YOU, Who needs me, next time...

one of the things that's so invigorating about Mamdani's win is how upset the right seems to be. it shouldn't matter to them what flavor of Democrat runs New York City, but they're unnerved because they know that his style of progressive populism has broad appeal.

Disabled people are being arrested in DC today as they're protesting Medicaid cuts. Source of this photo, ADAPT www.facebook.com/theRealNatio...

This is the slippery slope New reporting on use of federalized National Guard in what appears like DEA-led drug bust, no protesters in sight, far outside of LA @lizagoitein.bsky.social has very sharp analysis on why this appears illegal on all counts (including Trump’s own presidential memorandum)

Yeah, @maddowblog.msnbc.com @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social @lastword.msnbc.com @allinwithchris.bsky.social , what’s up with this??

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

I wonder if Mitch McConnell assumed Americans who lost their healthcare would "get over it" because they will be dead.

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Dems: "what do they expect us to do? We don't have any power" Also Dems: "vote for impeachment after he shreds the constitution? Not a chance in hell" Also also Dems: "I don't understand why young voters don't like us, we even doubled down on the sexual assaulters!"

"The judicial system only works if litigants understand they have to abide by rulings they don’t agree with. If the government can simply throw up two middle fingers and keep on violating court orders, then the whole system of checks and balances is meaningless." — @lizdye.bsky.social

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

HONESTY. INTEGRITY. DECENCY. #June14th-ObamaAppreciationDay

Seniors in Salt Lake City heading out for a #nokingsprotest in front of their assisted living facility.

That made me snort laugh.

It was really just a concept of a parade

If you take one thing away from today, let it be that we outnumber them.

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

Sad and true

when no one attends your shitty dictator parade

One of my favorite signs of the day.

Dear Kristi Noem, #NoKings

In a Gangster State, the dear leader wastes other people's money on military parades to broadcast his fake strength, attacks the legislative branch and destroys programs that benefit the people.

Proud of Minnesotans

Today, and every day, I’m proud to fly the American flag. To me, the flag represents freedom, unity, and opportunity. I believe our country is still a land of opportunity and our best days are ahead of us. I believe that despite the division we face, we are still united by the Stars and Stripes.

Genuinely excellent to see journalists on major media platforms calling this out. Here’s one summary of years of work looking at how police tactics can kick off the violence they are officially there to prevent:

The political assassinations in MN = domestic terrorism. A reminder that the guy now running the DHS division responsible for combating domestic terror & targeted attacks is a 22 yr old with no federal experience, and whose last job was his own lawn mowing biz. Dems should now be screaming this.

ABC continues to get worse, while NBC and MSNBC continue to get better.

If a military parade marches down a street and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
