Nobody STILL seems to know what is up with the Nippon/US Steel deal. Including Nippon and US Steel: "Either there has been no change in the deal or executives may not be sure enough about the outcome to formally notify shareholders, securities experts said." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/b...

Just visited the federal government building in West L.A., which is being guarded by some very bored looking Marines. They and National Guard far outnumbered civilians outside the facility, which hasn’t been the site of any protests this past week.

In the US, kids are taught Union vs Confederates, not US vs traitors. We’ve normalized evil and then wonder why adults have a difficult time picking up on it.

Glad to stand with SEIU Healthcare and my colleagues across state, local, and fed govt to demand that UPMC stop the unlawful delays and agree to a free and fair union election for the nurses at Magee-Womens Hospital.

Israel’s strikes on Iran risk broader regional violence. Innocent civilians will be caught in the crossfire. We cannot allow a war criminal to drag American troops and resources into another endless war. Diplomacy is the only way forward.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Can governors hide their national guards, like send them on a training expedition to somewhere with no cell coverage or something for like a month or two. Just a bunch of people doing weenie roasts and smores until we figure this out. I bet it would net out cheaper for all of us if they did.

Turned away from a clinic, a Lancaster woman bought her 17 year old daughter abortion pills at 20 weeks, outside the medication's range but within the legal timeline. Now they face criminal charges as the DA argues that the mother put her daughter at risk. open.substack.com/pub/jessica/...

My team and I at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@[email protected], Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) have a new piece out: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer.... In it, we show that through May 2025, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests have dwarfed those in 2017. 🧵

It's probably going to pour rain here in Pittsburgh Saturday. Just prepare yourself mentally, you can take some rain, we're a hardy lot; others are dealing with pepper spray. Pittsburgh's protests matter. Don't forgo what might be our last march, fellow Ents. We must show up for No Kings Day.

Padilla interpreting Noem's press conference and then getting tackled is what John Lewis meant by "good trouble." Same with LaMonica McIver getting arrested outside the ICE detention facility, and the military deployment into LA. Authoritarian states overreacting is how they are brought down.

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

When the Texas NG was called out to do immigration-related work something like that the CA NG is being asked to do right now, at least five of them killed themselves. It doesn’t bode well in general for anyone involved in the current situation. www.texastribune.org/2022/10/04/t...

9 years ago, 49 people, most of them young, Latino, and LGBTQ+, were murdered at Pulse Nightclub. Pulse was a celebration of life and love + it became a reminder of how fragile both can be for marginalized communities. Today we honor them with truth, with love, and with action.

A fascist state looks like a duly elected Senator being manhandled by police for questioning executive abuse of power. Not surprising considering the instigation and escalation of violence we’ve seen from ICE and DHS in Los Angeles. The people deserve better.

If you have plans on Saturday so you won't be going to a NO KINGS rally in your town -- no you don't. Trump has arrested a congressman, handcuffed a senator, deployed Marines against American citizens. We must all stand up! Find your local rally here: www.nokings.org

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

Move to hold the agents who assaulted a sitting senator in contempt of Congress. Call for articles of impeachment against Noem. Stop working on crypto legislation. Demonstrate the stakes of what is happening in LA with your actions.

The Pittsburgh Botanical Gardens is a lovely place to visit. Not a huge display of different specimens, but the shrubs & perennials they do have are lovely & healthy. A very nice walk on wooded trails, too. I do love a clear label WITH LATIN! It was too sunny for good photos of many of the plants.

We will believe that we will win! The MAGA regime hopes to turn against each other, scapegoating immigrants while they advance their assault on anyone who opposes their agenda. We won’t let them. #SolidaritySummer
