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...

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.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

E. Jean Carroll: This is a man who wears apricot makeup, with his hair twirled around his head like Barbara Stanwyck in Ball of Fire. I was so close—I heard almost every single thing he said. The farting—you wanted to know about that? It was a silent one… sort of.

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Whole section of the Federal Government now spends its time masked, out-of-uniform, and unidentifiable, variously snatching people from courthouses, handcuffing elected officials, and driving around LA trying find the best location to provoke a riot for TV coverage purposes.

Trump Insider Reveals ‘Nobody’ Is Talking to Hegseth as Iran Crisis Spirals #Pinks www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

He was detained outside church. “He was in chains at his feet,” Alondra Sotelo-Garcia told a local news outlet about seeing her father arrested. “Shoelaces were taken off, his belt was off, he didn’t have his ring, he didn’t have his watch. Everything was taken from him.”

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

When I was 17 I watched a lot of Fox News. Protested in favor of the Iraq War. Enthusiastically enlisted. Deployed. Realized most adults in my life had lied to me As consensus turned against the war, I thought: well, they were lied to also. They didn't know. They've learned They have not learned

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

NEVER FORGET TRUMP REGIME DID THIS ON AMERICAN SOIL

AYFKM!

Novos vídeos do Pentágono mostrando um objeto em forma de disco em manobras sobre a fronteira Afeganistão-Paquistão foram divulgados, sendo classificado como Fenômeno Anômalo Não Identificado (UAP) devido à sua forma, manobras incomuns, e uso de cobertura de nuvens … #ufo #uap #aliens #ovni #ufosky

ICE agent points gun directly at the head of innocent civilian—just for taking picture of his license plate. He drew his gun with one hand—while fumbling to open the car door with the other. The "agent" did not seem to be aware someone else was already recording his vehicle. Pasadena, California.

Two members of Congress were refused entry to ICE detention areas in NYC, despite rules laid out by Congress allowing members to conduct unannounced visits for oversight purposes. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/18/i...

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the news of emancipation finally reaching America's last enslaved people, and we recommit to fighting to deliver the true promise of America for all, even against right-wing backlash.

MSNBC dug up the clip of former Trump Sec Def Mark Esper saying that Trump asked him in 2020 to shoot protesters -- an order Pete Hegseth wouldn't rule out following if Trump asked him to do it today

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.

Slave catchers operating in the free Northern states before the Civil War brought home to Northerners the brutality and arbitrariness of Southern slavery, radicalizing thousands who were generally unfavorable toward slavery into being wide-awake abolitionists.

ICE agents are out here manhandling elected officials—yet again. They arrested NYC Comptroller Brad Lander for asking if they had a warrant—which is his constitutional right. (1/2)

Praying for all American troops who may be in harm’s way. Regardless of your politics I think we can all agree to the safety of our troops.

💔

So we've reached the "arresting Jewish electeds who oppose sending people to gulags" part of fighting antisemitism, I see

🗳️ ✔️🗳️✔️🗳️✔️💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✊💙

Big deal

Lander says he's fine, lost a button in the scuffle earlier. "I will be fine but Edgardo will not be fine," he says of man taken by ICE when he was detained. Lander says he has not been charged at this point.

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections. For my latest and to access all Democracy Docket premium content, sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

What an honor to receive my friend and colleague @yuhline.bsky.social’s endorsement for Mayor of NYC!

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.
