Wannabe RNC Chair Harmeet Dillon starts to operationalize DOJ to steal voting advantage.

It’s like there’s a daily contest for the stupidest thing they can do to duplicate costs and wasteful spending just for some stupid narrative point www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Josh Hawley is using the regime’s manufactured crisis to begin criminalizing opposition organizations. He’s launching a Senate investigation into immigrant rights organizations. This is how dictators make it illegal to oppose them.

Tomorrow is the final trial for Mate Devidze. He faces 4-7 years in prison. He turned 21 in GD’s jail. #GeorgiaProtests

As a native Arkansan, this made me laugh out loud. Did you know her brother tortured and killed a dog but got off because their dad was the Governor? You can get away with rape and murder in that state as long as you’re kin to someone at the courthouse. Sarah is full of shit.

Turns out the "illegal" pregnant woman was a US citizen, and she's since been hospitalized.

Bolton’s fever dream is about to come true

!!! Quinnipiac poll of 1,265 RVs, conducted from June 5-9, finds Trump at -11% approval on “immigration issues” and -16% on “deportations.” Full poll here: poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

This is a real post by @politico.com. Stenographers for fascism. Literally complicit in the gaslighting and abuse of our freedoms.

Oh

When you look at Trump's cratering immigration numbers, remember what Zohran Mamdani was already doing three months ago — while the rest of the Democratic party was still twiddling their thumbs on detaining student protestors and giving ICE more power:

So how do you apply for FEMA assistance? Well, I'm glad you asked: @stlpublicradio.bsky.social has a step-by-step guide of what you need to do if you apply for aid related to the May 16 tornado. It's not that difficult, but you will need to have a few things on hand when you go through the process:

Our vaccine policy will now literally be determined by regular guests to the Joe Rogan podcast

Be prepared and have the rapid response network phone number handy to report ICE activity especially if you live in/near the below listed cities. NBC reports ICE is expanding raids in the following cities: Seattle, Philadelphia, Chicago, NY and northern VA #Voices4Victory #UnmaskICE

Stephen miller is the reincarnation of Goebbles, reason 1001

god damn it are we going to have a political crisis over Navarro

Tear gas can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses, including COVID. The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. What you need to know (published 2020):

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Finally… I’ve been waiting for someone to cover this story. So sad. Climate[dot]gov has always been one of my favorite go-to resources to share.

Most red states pocket their own constituents tax money and give kickbacks to their donors and lobbyists. No red state has the money or capability to do this. Missouri couldn’t even plow their own highways this past winter in a timely manner bc they cut MODOTs budget.

This made me incredibly happy, archives are such a wonderful place to be. Just like libraries, I’ve always found a sense of peace and wonder being among so much history💚

Fascism is here. It has been here. The same racist, militarized and exterminationist violence that our government has cheered in Palestine for the last 20 months is now rolling out on our streets. As Dr. Sharma writes: Solidarity is our only hope.

From my undergraduate lecture notes on the Weimar Republic's collapse

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

The Nazis learned from the US, didn't believe Jim Crow was real because how could the US get away with it and thought the one drop role was too extreme. This sounds very American and we won't get rid of the Cottons until we accept it

This is some Ali-level rope-a-dope. @justinwolfers.bsky.social

Summer of rage 2025, it’s here.

Fuck every single military member who clapped and cheered.

This happened live on the show today. Independent journalist Jorge Ramos caught up with a pregnant U.S. citizen who told us she was roughed up and arrested by federal agents during a detainment near Los Angeles. Watch!

This is fascism

BREAKING: ICE is preparing to deploy tactical units to five cities run by Democratic leaders, according to two sources familiar with the planning of future ICE operations.

Much of Rufo's power depends upon mainstream media presenting him as a key voice on education, and then incorporating his views into their coverage. Feel like they should disclose to their readers he is all-in on an authoritarian government using secret police to disappear ppl who disagree w him.

As of this AM, we've crossed 210,000+ people in the @runforsomething.net pipeline - 47k+ of whom have signed up just since the election. We've got the biggest candidate pipeline in politics & we're the *only* national org that works with hyperlocal candidates at scale. This is how we rebuild.

This is my America

Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment for RFK jr Even if it doesn’t work, which it probably won’t, democrats need to make clear that he’s not gonna get away with it

💉 The #HPV #vaccine isn’t just safe — it’s revolutionary. A major Swedish study found it cut cervical cancer by nearly 90% when given before age 17. We’re not just preventing infections — we’re eliminating a cancer. #VaccinesWork #HPV #CervicalCancer #PublicHealth www.cancer.gov/news-events/...

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

1. I'm going to thread out the very odd sequence of events that led Fox News anchor John Robert, theoretically a "straight news" guy, to pretend the early hours of June 7 actually happened a day ago in order to avoid pointing out that Donald Trump was wrong about something.

There's a tie that binds the L.A. secret police raids, the abuse of military power, and the trumped-up case against Abrego Garcia The Trump regime is spinning a Big Lie and inventing fictional laws as it goes, to punish its enemies and seize power My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Simone Biles apologised to Riley Gaines? Here's how my apology to Gaines would go: "I'm sorry you were so shit at swimming you had to become a grifter".
