A federal judge has *blocked* Trump from forcing 20 Democratic-led states to cooperate with immigration enforcement in order to receive billions of dollars in federal funding. www.npr.org/2025/06/19/n...

In a world where multi-billion-dollar companies cave to Trump every day, E. Jean Carroll--one woman--stood up to him, didn't back down, and WON. Her new book tells the story. #booksky

This week's *real* headline that even @theonion.com wouldn't have tried: US President, who has golfed 37 times since the inauguration, rails against national worker holidays.

A federal appeals court has ordered the Trump administration to “facilitate the return” of a 31-year-old Salvadoran man who was deported just minutes after the court had issued an order blocking his removal.

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

Happy 98th birthday, mom!

I’m incredibly grateful to live in a state that values women’s reproductive health.

I am still in shock. I still can't QUITE believe this miracle! And it is thanks to you! My readers have more oomph and pizzazzzz than any readers on Earth. So that's Champagne I'm shooting out the water pistols. (KIDDING. It's water, but the great photographer, Elinor Carucci got the shot!!)

More Jan 6 prosecutors have been fired. Per a memo sent to one of them .. the termination is “effective immediately” (Reminder: Justice Dept prosecutors secured a 100% conviction rate at jury trials)

🕯️ Lives cut short by war: Day of mourning in Самар June 28 and 29 have been declared days of mourning in the city of Самар to commemorate the five residents who died as a result of russian shelling the day before.

The guy who got fired wasn’t the problem.

Why is the NRA so quiet lately…

The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.

Give tyrants no quarter -- especially those who loot others' lives, property, money, accomplishments, reputations. ☠️

A Honduran mother and her two children, ages 6 and 9, filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration after ICE agents arrested them at a Los Angeles immigration court — the first legal challenge to the arrest of children under a new directive targeting courthouses. #WEARETHEMEDIA

Thousands of protesters gathered across the state of Wyoming, with more than 500 people outside of the state’s Capitol building. The event was held to counter GOP Sen. Mike Lee’s unhinged plan to sell-off millions of acres of public land. More here:

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

Just as was done by another despot. 👿

#FreeLuigi

We are living in precarious times.

I just did the math, and yes, this checks out.

A 6-year-old boy with leukemia missed a vital medical appointment while in detention. During the arrest, one ICE officer lifted his shirt to reveal a gun, terrifying the child so severely that he urinated in his pants and was left without a change of clothes for hours. #WEARETHEMEDIA

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

I didn’t have “arguing if the Constitution is constitutional” on my 2025 bingo card. Did you?

But her emails?

Right now, Senate Republicans are trying to pass their version of President Trump's budget plan. It's the same story. More attacks on Medicaid and health care, all to pay for tax cuts that benefit the wealthy.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside."

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

Kenneth Chesebro, the lawyer who helped orchestrate the fake elector scheme to overturn the 2020 election, has been permanently disbarred in New York.

I’m actually so tired of hearing dudes be upset or joke about it sucking that their partner is pregnant with a girl. It guts me every single time and I don’t even want kids.

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Jacob Taylor, a USPS letter carrier in Dallas who served our community with dedication. My heart goes out to his family, loved ones, and the entire USPS community. May he rest in peace, and may his service never be forgotten.

After our last report on conditions inside ICE detention centers, the latest DHS propaganda makes a chilling kind of sense now. The official DHS X account posted a WWII-style poster urging people to “REPORT ALL FOREIGN INVADERS,” complete with the ICE tip line to report undocumented neighbors.

Custer wouldn't listen to people of any color who knew more than he did either.

“Black people are so loud. So violent” Sure, Jan, sure.

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

Just heard we lost a typography legend. RIP Jim Parkinson, who designed your favorite news nameplate. Oh, and the Rolling Stone logo.

ICE aka Tom Homan Steven Miller are sending masked goons in unmarked cars to assault & arrest brown people US CITIZENS or not all over LA! This has to stop 🛑 👉🏼We need to draw a line in the sand!💙 Governor Newsom needs to mobilize a state militia to protect the residents of LA from being terrorized!

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.

Newsom: The gloves are off. Let’s go. We’re gonna call out the bullshit. And the propaganda. And the weaponization of lies and disinformation on networks like Fox…
