Mark Hortman was a selfless husband and a dedicated father. He always put his family above himself and everyone who knew him knew that he was Melissa’s rock. He was a great friend to Gwen and me, and we will miss him deeply. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

Hard pass.

Are you sure about that, Mr. President? Farmers are witnessing firsthand that between 25% and 45% of workers have stopped showing up since your raids began this month. Don’t think your logic is adding up.

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

Rest in peace, Gilbert. 💔

This is going to come as news to the President. 🤡 www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Knowingly providing false information during an investigation undermines the integrity of our legal system. This plea makes clear that those who attempt to deceive investigators will be held accountable. www.mlive.com/politics/202...

The active duty soldier who was placed in on an involuntary mental health hold after speaking out about ICE abuses has been released. He was given no treatment nor diagnosis and no reason for the hold.

Tomorrow is Juneteenth! Celebrate with Lollipop and friends in today's comic post! Happy Juneteenth from #adventuresoflollipop !

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene have both now said that Fox News is propaganda. The right wing is tearing itself apart and I’m loving every minute of it.

Vance is here to grab content he can post on X, using your replies. Starve the beast.

I think Green Day summed it up well.

The trump White House commenting on a story we are running shortly that it is a “dumb and fake story”, so please read and share it knowing that i, and my @rollingstone.com colleagues, are Dumb and Fake. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

FINALLY Democrats are putting out HARD-HITTING ads. WATCH AND SHARE: #MAGAKidnappers

OK, this is how it's done.

Torres: Trump aspires not only to be an authoritarian, but a totalitarian. What he seeks is control—not just over the economy, but over civil society. He wants not only federal agencies, but every civic institution to be within his orbit of totalitarian control.

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

You lose healthcare. They gain yachts. Keep spreading the word.

Victor Avila, a 66-year-old legal assistant — and a green card holder for 58 years — was detained after visiting his son, who is a member of the U.S. Air Force.

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say. From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:

So “pro-life.”

I don’t know, I just don’t think we should be making decisions with geopolitical implications that could result in millions of deaths and catastrophic damage based on a passage in Genesis.

Bro, you gotta block that guy, not because he sucks, but because he’s only here to get you to say stuff to him that will get you in legal trouble.

So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

In a decisive legal setback for Donald Trump, the full bench of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has DENIED the president’s appeal challenging the civil verdict in favor of writer E. Jean Carroll.

“OMG they’re rioting in L.A.!!” Meanwhile, in the beautiful landscape that is Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles. 💙

A cop doing the right thing? I think that i might need my fainting chair!

Spreading kindness like confetti

A square mile doesn’t justify a $134 million military occupation, troops sleeping in squalor, or ICE agents terrorizing our communities. Americans feel unsafe. This Saturday, on #NoKingsDay, let’s show up in numbers—and send a message: we will not be ruled by a mad king.

History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

noem saying thery're going to "liberate" california from its leaders seconds before federal law enforcement restrains and removes one of the state's senators from the room—like what else needs to be said

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

Governor JB Pritzker said to Rep. Mary Miller: "I am not going to be lectured to by somebody who extols the virtue of Hitler." Finally, someone says it to their faces.
