NEW: A data broker owned by the country’s major airlines, including Delta, American Airlines, and United, collected US travelers’ domestic flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection (CBP). www.wired.com/story/airlin...

On June 14th, we show up. Coalition members will be present at all 1,800 events nationwide, over 90,000 strong, helping monitor local conditions. Many veterans have stepped forward to support protesters, stand in solidarity, and defend our right to be heard. We thank them.

They’re trying to silence us with fear and force. But “darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.” On 6/14, we show them what resistance looks like. Peaceful, unshakable, and everywhere!

NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

Sickening, literally

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

Wait... is this the best meme ever made?

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Speaker Johnson says there's “a moral component” to Trump's "big, beautiful" bill. Really?   Is it “moral” to cut nutrition assistance for hungry kids?   Is it “moral” to eliminate health care for 13.7 million Americans so the 1% gets a $664 billion tax break? I don’t think so.

NEW: For years, a powerful ‘Big Ag’ trade group served up information on activists to the FBI. WIRED went through hundreds of records that reveal a decade-long effort to see the animal rights movement labeled a legitimate terrorism threat. Unpaywalled as part of our FOIA-based coverage.

"Support for the law firms that didn’t make deals has been growing... "At least 11 big companies are moving work away from firms that settled with the administration or are giving more business to firms that have been targeted but refused to strike deals..." www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Teachers Retirement Fund? Hello California 🤔

BREAKING: ICE RAID reported at Buona Forchetta tonight about a mile up the road in San Diego. Smoke bombs were used to disperse the crowd. FUCK ICE. WTF?!

Okay, I’ve GOT to get one of these, lol. 🌮 #TACOTrump

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

And it’s coming from inside the house

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

Those who commit their life to public service deserve to retire with dignity and security. That’s why I just signed a bill to boost pensions for Minnesota teachers, police officers, and firefighters.

Looks like ICE is using the New England Patriot’s plane - which is available for charter in the off-season - to carry out their assholery.

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."

LOL, Senator Mullen never served a day of his life but he is a multi-millionaire who likes to tweet like he stormed the beaches of Normandy. We recommend he resign and go enlist so he can "lead the breach" and stuff.

New: Pete Hegseth shared sensitive information about military strikes to another Signal group chat that included his wife and brother.

He would have never been appointed by a president who cared about our military. He’s a disgrace to the people in uniform who serve www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

#timberwolves on fire. @mntimberwolves.bsky.social

We had a conversation with Sec of State Steve Simon about HR 22 - The SAVE Act. This voter suppression bill passed the House and is now in the Senate. This is a disastrous bill for Minnesotans (and all voters). Call our Senators and urge them to vote NO. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYbz...

Action yields results. Now let’s bring everyone back for due process.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us
