Johnny Noviello moved from Canada to Daytona Beach when he was 10 years old. He grew up in Florida and became a lawful permanent resident. On Monday, June 23, he died at the Federal Detention Center in downtown Miami, after six weeks in immigration detention. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

No predictive model could foresee this degree of national self-sabotage – an act of willful decline that transcends political theory.

The Medssiah

All acts of resistance are impactful, important, and powerful. Find the ways that you can resist and get to work. Start building community. We all have to go through this, so we need to be able to have a network. 💯 👇

I'll say it again: cynicism, Doomerism, defeatism...these are self-indulgent positions of privilege. It's hard going only 5 month in, so you say "I'm done" and "we're cooked." How quickly you abandon our neighbors in ICE detention. How dare you lay down! Find your courage and get to work.

I just learned a new word that should have been obvious as a native English-speaker & English tutor: Onomatopoetic: having the essence or base of an onomatopoeia. An onomatopoeia is onomatopoetic.

youtube.com/shorts/ZuPQ6... “We’re Americans and…” Some comic relief for yall on this Sunday morning.

"Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) also voted to advance the bill after holding the chamber in suspense for an hour about how she intended to vote." Lisa folds every time. There's no such thing as a moderate Republican. Only gutless collaborators w/ fascism. It moves forward 51-49.

We are all in this together—the fight of our lives—and we will work together for safe passage through this onslaught against the Constitution and the rule of law.

Fascism has always been America’s favorite plaything.

Just in case this account followed you and you didn’t investigate to see if it was legit: It’s a Trump supporting account. Blocked and reported.

We’ve been saying this was coming for at least a year.

Real

Not only did he not go to the funeral, he never even called Tim Walz or anyone in the family to offer condolences. He simply said, “I would call him… that guy’s whacked out…”. For Trump, the death of Rep. Hortman was simply political cannon fodder. It’s set a dangerous precedent.

If your legislation is so popular and good for the American people, why do you have to push it through in the wee hours of the morning and on weekends? Why the rush and subterfuge if it's so good for us? Aren't you proud of the bills you're trying to cram down our throats?

youtube.com/shorts/lAdA6... This moved me to tears.

Ummmm….. Hopefully it’s for the 4th of July celebration…

The Word at the bottom is “בית,” which means “home” or “house” in Hebrew. #langsky

I sure as hell have noticed. How about you? 🤨

the only thing keeping Trump v US from topping the list of worst Supreme Court decisions imo is that it hasn’t (yet) led to the dissolution of the United States washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/27/i...

“Opting out” of basic biological reality to have your kids learn how the world works from a fantasy novel. Why don’t these losers just homeschool? (Cause they think public school is free childcare & think they are entitled to it & to force curriculums even though they don’t want to teach their kids)

Let's call it what it is.

#GildedAgeAttitudes

Those “favors” that nature will do for them are disease and death. Mosquitos are the deadliest animal in the world, and pythons are known to find their ways into unexpected places—like tents in the middle of the Everglades.

So just to recap: - Parents can force schools to erase LGBTQ+ existence because ??? - The Court's opinion on birthright citizenship is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. - We're reverting back to the Articles of Confederation ig ??? Except our population is now 340 million and every court might be its own country.

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

He seems like another Gavin Newsom. An opportunist, mediocre white man who has had the privilege to be in front of cameras for the last decade.

I don’t know how part-time content creators find time to actually make content. I’ve had a video made for over a week that refuses to upload and much of what I talk about in it is now outdated or irrelevant. I haven’t written all week. I usually write in advance, but I’ve had no time. Tips, anyone?

Oops.

This is a lie (as usual). While I disagree with the decision, IT LEAVES THE INJUNCTIONS OF THE BIRTHRIGHT EO IN PLACE, just narrows them to the plaintiffs. And it does not limit nationwide class actions, which will be filed to achieve the identical outcomes. The EO remains unconstitutional.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

Only in this cracked-out hellhole could a felon married to an immigrant get on stage, and blame all of America’s problems on felons and immigrants.

We have a partisan Supreme Court that's been rigged by Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the Republican Party. They don't care about the Constitution—let alone common sense. Unfucking SCOTUS is a major test for the next Democratic president.

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

Crazy that the Israeli media is giving better reporting than American legacy media. This is why I trust HaAretz!

Seems like a waste of money. Weird that they voted Trump in to stop wasting money.

If you’re born to US citizens and/or on US Soil, even if abroad, the Constitution guarantees your citizenship.

The cruelty is the point.
