(1/2) For the past 30 years Putin has been saying that he will destroy the United States in revenge for the fall of the Soviet Union. It pisses me off that he's getting that. All because the cheap ass Reagan Republicans couldn't do a Marshall Plan for Russia It's been so stupid watching this

I've stopped listening to men, and white men in particular, when they share their opinions about politics. Their own privilege and protection affects their worldview, making them unreliable information sources Don't get me started on white male pundits...

*points downward* Listening then sharing these concerns with my 6F peers has been ... a lot It's been horrifying watching us all get dragged into the net

Statement from Chairman Ken Martin

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

These are concentration camps designed to torture undesirables. There is no other word for what is happening here

📢 A US Army combat veteran has a few words to express his thoughts on the oath he took. 🔥

Healthcare decisions should be made by a patient and their doctor, not politicians. My latest Executive Order makes Delaware a shield state for gender-affirming care, protecting the data of both patients and providers.

These are not police. By law, they have to identify. If they won’t—copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: LAPD teamed up with ICE and CBP to raid a fucking Costco. They didn’t stop at immigrants. They arrested Anthony Orendorff — a journalist — for filming them. This isn’t “law enforcement.” This is state violence. sanfernandosun.com/2025/06/20/c...

They're fucking cowards. There are more of us. #UnfuckICE

The entire point of what’s happening right now, in politics, culture, and technology, is to advance the privilege of wealthy Americans to take more and more and do almost nothing It is the breakneck acceleration of hoarding capital and all tools and movements are specifically designed to quicken it

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

Wanna know something cool about Staten Island? Not only is it home to the only City-run household organics composting facility in the five boroughs, but also, Staten Islanders are the very best in the city at composting, by sheer tons collected.

"Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that Russians and Ukrainians are one nation and all of Ukraine is effectively Russian as part of efforts to justify his continued conquest of Ukraine." #TLDR understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

Bob Kagan not sugarcoating his assessment here To highlight: 1- Woodrow Wilson sucks, always true 2- we are at a precipice re: consolidation of executive powers & erosion of rights of Americans 3- a war over Iran is about illiberal order (whereas defeating Russia is about liberal order, my note)

Baltimore Beat fundraisers are how we keep news free and accessible for everyone in the city. The more money we raise, the more resources we can invest in covering our community. withfriends.co/event/236607...

"We found too many slaves". #Harvard #Slavery

No matter where someone was born, the United States should never tolerate inhumane treatment. Yet right now, detainees in ICE custody are facing conditions that are simply unacceptable in any country that claims to uphold human rights, let alone one that prides itself on freedom and the rule of law.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

This is what we've wrought with the myth of meritocracy. By treating billions as a proxy for brilliance, we've allowed men like Peter Thiel to amass disgusting amounts of wealth and to leverage that wealth to destroy democracy for their own gain.

Very sad to hear that @helendecruz.net passed away today. dailynous.com/2025/06/20/h...

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

PRAISE

The HPV vaccine is/was on the precipice of eliminating entire classes of cancer. This is what these ghouls want to take from us.

That loud bang you just heard was the sound of a million law professors hitting Ctrl+F at the same time.

Adriana Smith sought care and was refused during her pregnancy. The State, in my opinion, is liable for ignoring her medical condition before ghoulishly violating her personal autonomy for yet another disgusting experiment that presumes to use Black women's bodies

Let's be clear: ICE and other federal agents conducted raids in Hollywood, arresting people and transporting them to Dodger Stadium property to transfer them into other vehicles. DHS now claims the agents at Dodger Stadium weren’t involved in ICE operations — but we know that’s a lie.

Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

Let's finally put Clovis first to bed. 🏺🧪

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

The US has denied the visas of all 12 members of the Senegalese women’s basketball team who were scheduled to travel to the country as part of their preparation for the Afrobasket tournament that begins in August. Afrobasket is also the African qualifiers for the Olympics. #wnba

Happy Juneteenth! Today commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. It’s a day to celebrate Black strength, resiliency, and joy. But as Trump tries to reverse progress, we all need to recognize how his cruelty disproportionately impacts Black Americans. 1/

What does ICE have to hide? The Department of Homeland Security has issued a new policy that allows ICE officials to block or cancel visits by members of Congress to immigration detention facilities, whenever they “deem it appropriate” or cite vague “operational concerns.”

CAUTION: Bounty Hunters are working in groups inside of California. If gangs were created for anything it is for these occasions. These aren’t Feds. Unmask them @governor.ca.gov

I had a good chat recently with a friend who works in AI who also reminded me that AI results will get dumber over time, as more AI results are used to create more AI results. It’s not just our brains being destroyed.
