Introducing… Junior magpie! This little derp and an equally awkward sibling are hanging out in the garden while they figure out life and receive food deliveries from parents #birds

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

My adult life full circle

Gonna level with you bro I think DHS needs to be dissolved after this. Regardless of what national security functions fall under its remit, it's clearly institutionally constructed in such a way allows it to be used as an unaccountable tool of executive power. Can't reform your way out of that.

No. Absolutely not. Holding a fire sale of US public lands to address a made-up fiscal crisis (which is only precipitated by reckless tax cuts) is a terrible, terrible idea.

You need this in your life. Sorry. I'm not one to tell people what to do, but you need this. 🪶 🐣

C-SPAN caller to Tapper: "When are you going to examine what's going on with Trump? ... this president has been pure chaos, which indicates to me that there is something wrong with him. We will never get a straight answer on his medical exam, and yet you have gone after Joe Biden with a vengeance."

Yassss! Go Team 💙

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

Your senator deserves and extra phone call focusing on this issue alone.

AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

I wonder how a right-wing movement that blasts its enemies as "socialists" can explain why its government is exerting such control over the means of production www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/b...

10 years of obsession about what Trump supporters think & care about has warped our understanding of their size & popularity: Trump is historically unpopular, pro-democracy supporters far outnumber the object of Corporate Media’s love. Time to hear more from majority of US.

I dare you to compete with that hairdo! Agami Heron today at Agami Island Nature Reserve #CostaRica #birds #nature #herons

I'm dying for some maga reactionary to get on TV and explain why Boston and Philadelphia aren't real America

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

It’s bleak out there, but it’s heartening to know millions of people from all walks of life took the time to ruin one specific persons birthday, America’s hater spirit remains strong

We should make June 14th No Kings Day permanently.

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.

I know there’s a lot going on right now but don’t lose sight of the escalating conflict in the Middle East. This is serious, not just regional posturing. It has the potential to affect us almost as much as anything happening here at home. And this inept administration is clueless how to handle it.

Nations typically throw military parades to demonstrate their organizational prowess and national unity. So…uh… message received.

There is a massive opportunity here but only if we can maintain and build momentum; we cannot let off the gas on this, not even a little

We're in a post-constitutional moment. All the institutional checks on Trump's power have broken down. That means the only thing which can stop Trump's push to become a king is us, the American people. Being part of a resistance movement isn't futile--it's the only thing that can work.

I'm going to name my first child Oxford Comma.

If Cuomo wins the mayorship, he will run for president - we have to stop him in his tracks. (And phew, @aoc.bsky.social connecting stopping Cuomo to ending the gerontocracy is extremely my shit.)
