youtu.be/CfimQJXwKoI One of the most incredible songs I have ever heard.🥺

The bleeding abscess is going to invent a conflict with Canada and use it as an excuse to invade. California is his test flight. He's nothing if not predictable.

I'm looking forward to having a conversation with @hcrichardson.bsky.social over on Substack later today. Tune in live at 2pm ET.

go.bsky.app/FqS5FTT "I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept." Angela Davis 1969 Protest Month - POWER UP!

Newsom on Trump: "He's lost it. He hasn't lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he's incapable now of even a train of thought. He's making things up and he's putting people's lives at risk."

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

I hadn't heard anything much about the Kennedy Center last night. Except for you know the booing of a certain orange stain. Which I approve of. Everyone should boo that guy. But we should all applaud these two Queens and King! Like the audience at the Kennedy Center! #SheShed #FDT

Know your rights before you hit the streets. Authoritarians count on fear and confusion. Be prepared. Stay calm, stay safe, & stay informed. This ACLU guide is essential for every protester. Share it. Print it. Carry it. Power comes from knowing where you stand.

Lynch: "Deploying the military against a civilian population is wrong. And if we don't step up, this will continue. If we don't step up & declare what is right under our Constitution, then other cities, other citizens will meet this same fate..Trump is a wannabe gangster..I'm fighting today's Nazis"

Coming up at 12n ET, we're talking about Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," and how it will destroy everyday Americans, the indictment of NJ Rep. LaMonica McIver, declarations of unlawful assembly around the US, Trump's bizarre TruthSocial post on ICE, and way more. youtube.com/live/efLBcOi...

Odd, how MS-13 gang members are all ALL OVER California during elections, but conspicuously absent when ICE is rounding up "criminals" in that state. Instead, ICE goes to Home Depot to arrest helpful people looking for home improvement jobs. It's *almost* as if everything Trump tells us is a lie.

This administration is profiting by selling everything off…even its people. #DollaDollaBillYall

#DHS has run out of money and are out of space. So, they’ve created this mass deportation drama to fill prison cells to ram that private detention center quid pro quo for Geo Corp and DHS/ICE budget funding through. Private prisons & local jails are ramping up as ICE detention exceeds capacity.

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

Suozzi uses his questioning time to dog walk Bessent about how almost every credible economic expert disagrees with the administration's position that the reconciliation bill will be anything but bad for the economy

SecDef authorizes “voluntary departure” of dependents in the Middle East, citing rising tensions with Iran. Reports that all nonessential personnel will also be removed from Baghdad. Not ideal. apnews.com/article/stat...

I have a new hero. This owl stole a child's hobby horse and flies around with it!

Absolutely this @fredguttenberg.bsky.social

Everyone march June 14th

<Thread> I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces. Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into. (It will also escalate from here.) Preview⤵️

Gov. Newsom didn't request the National Guard be deployed to CA following peaceful demonstrations. Trump sent them anyway. It's the first time in 60 years a president has made that choice. Trump's goal isn't to keep Californians safe. His goal is to cause chaos, because chaos is good for Trump.

Trump sent the Guard to scare us. This man walked right up and spoke for a nation. This is what power looks like when it speaks. No violence, peaceful protest. ✊🏼 #NoKings #WeThePeople

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," Connor Simon. Honesddale, Pennsylvania www.wnep.com/article/news...

⚠️ Warning: The Trump administration is circulating footage from 2020 to make the situation in L.A. appear more chaotic than it is. This is an intentional effort to manufacture a larger crisis. Stay alert. Pay attention. The propaganda machine is in overdrive.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

What the administration is doing now with California reminds me of the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.” Lord Cuthbert is executing pirates, and when he learns that those at the gallows are singing, he responds, “Finally.” The cruelty is part of the plan. (Thread)

Trump is scrambling to recruit candidates for Hegseth support jobs, but they refuse to work for Hegseth. Other candidates are seen as not MAGA enough to carry out Trumps crazy plans. Hegseth is losing Trumps confidence and its clear he is incompetent to lead the US armed forces.
