Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

😢

Two democratic lawmakers shot in Minnesota by police impersonators. Perpetrators at large.

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

The House has voted to defund public radio, and the proposal now moves to the Senate. But you can still take action to safeguard the future of a vital American service. Click the link here to stand up for public media: n.pr/3FAzQlq

Please share this everywhere. This is shameful.

💯

Absolutely the same

Action now. No turning back.

These fuckers need to be fucked.

This cannot must not be tolerated. Demand action now.

We’re fucked.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Sen. Coons: "I am shaken. I am angry. And I am gravely concerned about our path forward in this body and our nation. Democracy is a gift hard won and hard earned...What is happening?"

So sad. 😭

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?!
