Remember this?

White women will forever carry white supremacists water with no guarantee they’ll be “saved” from the coming persecution.

Reproductive health advocates say a provision in the U.S. Senate Republican spending package would cut federal funding to Planned Parenthood clinics and could serve as a backdoor nationwide abortion ban, eliminating access to 1 in 4 abortion providers ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/12/r...

Stop Looking for Red Lines. You no Longer Live in a Full Democracy It's going to be up to us to bring it back to life open.substack.com/pub/ryandeno...

He’s literally a fucking Nazi, get him out of here

Fusion intelligence centers are basically full time chain email forwarding departments where cops freak each other out about shit they mostly make up

Here are Marines carrying out policing functions in direct violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. Although the district court's decision is stayed pending appeal, this was found to be unlawful and there is no doubt the appeals court will uphold this. So the arrest is prima facie illegal.

If I'm reading this correctly, ADL is saying that we need to level Iran because that will stop antisemitism in the U.S.

You’ll be too young to remember, but there was a time when you could wake up as many as three mornings in a row and not find the world had lost its fucking mind.

I keep thinking about Trump is clearly trying to replicate the new cities in petrostates, like Dubai and Riyadh. He is in love with the visible and garish opulence, built on the backs of actual modern slaves. He wants a whole country of these Potemkin villages, made by fraud, oppression and fealty.

Chasing ICE agents out of your cities and towns is one of the most American acts of resistance I can think of. Make the fascists afraid again, shame them and degrade them. Flip the narrative around, they are the ones invading our communities. Make them the enemy because they are.

Here’s a list from @kettering.org on what you can do where you are at. Do what you can, where you can. kettering.org/feeling-para...

“Law enforcement agencies across Southern California violated state law more than 100 times last month by sharing information from automated license plate readers with federal agents, records show.”

As I just flagged, this has been replaced with something which is arguably worse; requiring that basically every plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction against the federal government pay millions or billions of dollars in "security" to pay for "costs" to the federal government if they later win.

Bob Costas nailed it. 🎯

That really is the crux of most of this . They think it’s “failing” because they aren’t on the pulse AND Because everything is designed terribly because they SUPPORTED early racism and And well sucks to suck

yep! unpaywalled:

Pro tip: Call your local news outlets with details about No Kings protests. Time, place & contact info for a local organizer. "If the protests grow large enough, & sustained enough, even the most reluctant media will have little choice but to pay attention." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is so on point!

mike huckabee sitting there with a full on apocalypse boner

Treasury is developing new rules that would strip the tax-exempt status of colleges that are deemed to be using race in any way, aligning with the administration's executive orders. This flew under the radar yesterday with everything going on.

"One of [Thomas] Nast’s most famous cartoons, “The American River Ganges,”  published in 1871 [in Harper's Magazine] depicts [Catholic] bishops shaped as crocodiles coming to devour children as a public school lays in ruins."

The data is in: According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the "Big Beautiful Bill" is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Even the no-tax-on-tips provision is fleeting.

As a side note- Employees not showing up due to civil unrest or concerns of deportation may fall under the “force majeure” portion of many contracts. May want to familiarize yourself with this now to prepare.

RFK Jr. spouted dangerous vaccine falsehoods on national TV. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. Here's what the data actually shows. 🧵

No other world leader comes into DC and goes to the capitol whining to members of Congress to fulfill his agendas like this man, and he’s been doing it for decades. Why are we still allowing this?

Impeach the motherfucker, for the third time.

Finally, a dem had the balls to call out Johnson’s bullshit

Billy Long's sole qualification to run the IRS is that, in 2023–24, he ran a large-scale tax fraud operation. I am not making this up.

The MLB concussion protocol is a joke, Victor Scott just got hit in the head with a ball on the top of his helmet and he’s now standing on first base bc they’d rather have the speed than another hurt player. Insanity.

Bluesky is fucking great. /1

Christian nationalism is no longer a fringe ideology—it’s a coordinated, well-funded movement aiming to dismantle democracy and replace it with religious rule. From spiritual warfare to Catholic theocracy, here are 10 chilling ways it’s gaining ground in American politics. Read more:

John Bolton is somewhere salivating

They’re going to blow up the entire Middle East because Israel is on a genocidal power trip

White men are so weak in the face of fascism

Ooooof 🔥🔥🔥 give me more politicians like this please

THE SUN MAY BE CONQUERED AFTER ALL! 1/ Insurrectionist Enrique Tarrio is suing the federal government for an Ashli Babbitt-style payoff from Trump. His lawyer, I shit you not, is named "Augustus Sol Invictus." Turns out that Mr. Invictus may have failed to tell the court about his prior felony...

The news media is fascist

I've seen impeachment talk as pointless, but if Dems take the house back in 26, what's happened this week demands articles instantly be filed against Trump and almost everyone in his cabinet. Nobody will be removed, but that's not the point.

"Head Start, fed science research, DV shelters await cuts. Hospitals turn away trans people. The regulatory state unravels while corporate polluters spew toxins. The RW is blowing up everything & incinerating the planet. White supremacy is apocalyptic for everyone.” hammerandhope.org/article/trum...

Colorado Ice Out Thank you Denver Police Department for the souvenir

Reimigration is a Neo-Nazi phrase used in Europe www.theguardian.com/world/2024/o...

Incidentally, the Whiskey Pete hearing was lit today. Some highlights? The Fort Bragg [sic] event was ... a problem, bc Caine said you can't enforce loyalty oaths and Whiskey Pete [claimed to be] unaware loyalty oaths were required. Whiskey Pete doesn't know what Kalininagrad is. 👀
