Parnas: He sends the Marines into American cities not to protect us, folks, but to silence us. He ignores court orders like they’re optional. He surrounds himself with loyalists who exist solely to carry out his will. This is a leadership style that’s called authoritarianism.

One begins to wonder if putting the dumbest motherfucker ever to live in charge was a mistake.

We are well into reject the evidence of your own eyes and ears as state policy.

California brings forth bill that takes the masks off ICE agents.

God I hate fascism.

If you're so afraid of firearms that the very sight of one being held in someone's hands causes you to consider opening fire on them, you shouldn't be carrying a firearm or being providing any sort of "security". These things are not totems against evil, they are lethal weapons...

I hope Kristi Noem receives exactly the quality and quantity of health care she'd give an undocumented immigrant 💙

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

Fox News host Will Cain: "The 'No Secret Police Act' would ban local, state, and federal law enforcement from covering their faces when interacting with the public. Officers would also have to wear identifying information on them, like name tags. Hard to believe this is real!"

Another day, another shocking example of overreach by this administration.

Trumps Gestapo. We need to start naming it.

how can an overwhelming D state and city not pass and enforce laws preventing masked thugs from kidnapping people on the 'trust me bro' promise? maybe the abundance guys can tell them how to do it

Lander and Padilla have set the standard that absolutely every Democratic politician should meet or exceed if they don't want to get primaried.

white christian fascism is not “fringe”. it's inspired by huge networks of churches, media and doctrine. it's enabled by the state. it's excused by liberals. Boelter wasn't a confused weirdo. he is the logical conclusion of a now mainstream christofascist formation.

This is a NYC mayoral candidate. Abducted today.

Weird how the “we’re broke” crowd goes quiet whenever war is on the table But we have to throw 11 million off health care, cut food stamps, etc right?

This “both sides” business is more than I can stand! Apparently, not calling for Luigi to get the death penalty = decades of right wing violence. 🤥 Meanwhile they say, “you shouldn’t hate people who disagree with you!” What is the proper response to those who question your right to exist? 🤔🤨😣

The rightwing Christian assassin of Melissa Hortman and her husband is also a dog-killer like self-proclaimed Christian Kristi Noem. The cruelty they inflict in service of their god, without any remorse — on even the helpless innocent — should worry us all.

This feels very @merriam-webster.com youtube.com/shorts/oj4wY...

Obituaries are a celebration of life. This one is a must-read www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/b...

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

When a civilised nation realises that its premier is totally bonkers, there is usually a process to follow to protect its interests

Cuomo doesn’t just get to rehabilitate himself from sexual harassment because he’s rich and powerful. He gets to because he’s a man. It’s the same situation for everyday, ordinary men, while women from all walks of life are not just denied justice but punished for asking for it

I get upset when I hear the Civil Rights movement characterized as “nonviolent”. It was violent. People were injured. Killed. There *was* violence. It just wasn’t perpetrated by the resistors.

Bioterrorism is easier in an unvaccinated population. A thought experiment. RFK Jr.’s anti-vax agenda results in undermining vaccines to the point that most can’t afford them. You end up with a daycare where 80% of babies are unvaxxed. A person with measles or polio stops by for a tour.

It's really pathetic that we have to rely on British press to keep us informed of what's going on in our own country. 🤨 'No Kings’ protesters in Virginia and San Francisco struck by motorists | US news | The Guardian www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

For Dems to even consider a comeback for Cuomo after his serial predation of women, is for Dems to also say that EVERYTHING they claim to believe about equality and women’s rights to be safe in the workplace was bullshit. Do they even get the level of hypocrisy?

Black person jaywalking: “throw them under the jail” White assassin: “I mean, surely we’ve all belonged to a religious cult that thinks leftists should die”

The Times questioning Zohran’s experience kinda just boils down to ideology & racism but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing they’d write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

NO ONE—especially Black men—commits suicide by hanging themselves on a tree. Law enforcement is LYING to you if they say this happened, which makes them either participants in the death or complicit in the cover-up. MSM (local or national) will never carry these stories.

Birds of a feather always flock together

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.
