I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

This is not America. It's not Christianity either.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

The party that constantly rails against "snowflakes" and "trigger warnings" just ordered the National Park Service to make a hotline that people could complain to about park signs that make them feel uncomfortable. The coddling of conservatism must end. www.npr.org/2025/06/10/n...

He illegally started a war and nothing will happen because everyone in Congress is a spineless coward.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

My relatives in East L.A. — born in the U.S.A. — are afraid to go outside because masked men with guns are randomly snatching people off the street. This is a government terrorism campaign against its own people.

If you weren't ashamed of what you're doing, you wouldn't have to cover your face.

This is outrageous - and illegal! ICE does not have the power to impose restrictions on Congress! Call your Congress people and demand that they assert their rights and exercise their oversight duties. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/u...

Even more community members are chasing ICE vehicles, laying on their horns to alert their communities.

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

Israel's Prime Minister may think no one will notice what he's doing in Gaza while he bombs Iran. People face starvation. 55,000 killed. Aid workers and doctors turned away at the border. Shooting at innocent people desperate for food. The world sees you, Benjamin Netanyahu.

"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...” www.bet.com/article/6rdn...

This is a cover-up‼️ DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses. “We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Auchincloss: This is about spotlighting the grift in this administration, collecting the receipts, and preparing to investigate and fight back. There are two individuals who are the top lieutenants to RFK Jr. who have the most glaring conflicts of interest…

Bless the Dodgers for ejecting ICE! America’s pastime is baseball, not chasing down hardworking mothers and fathers.

RFK Jr. is going to kill thousands of people. That’s not hyperbole.

And this isn't just any Dodgers game. It's a Dodgers/Padres game. Yet ICE says there's no particular reason they wanted access. Sure, Jan. GTFO.

Live in such a way that you trigger white Christian nationalists.

#GVerse #PayAttention - If you are concerned that you may be illegally abducted and then tortured in a prison in El Salvador… DO NOT attend the FIFA World Cup.

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

I find it hilarious when a world leader or country refutes things that the orange felon said whether it be about having brokered a fake deal with them or even something as small as having spoken with them. He literally lies about everything.

God endorses @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for NY mayor. He’s a good dude! and Andrew Cuomo is a schmuck.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

this wonderful piece from @profmsinha.bsky.social gets to what was truly great about lincoln — his open mind and great capacity for moral growth www.theunpopulist.net/p/abraham-li...

"Trump’s second term is about correcting the errors of his first. In 2020, Trump’s plan to seize voting machines was blocked from within the government, but the WH is now staffed by loyalists. And with Trump deploying the military to US cities, he'll have boots on the ground to execute his plans."

THE VIEW: Do you feel safe as an elected official in this political climate? JASMINE CROCKETT: No. Not at all.

No one is better at explaining things than @petebuttigieg.bsky.social. Wishing you all a wonderful and MEANINGFUL Juneteenth! 🖤

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

THIS IS ABSOLUTE INSANITY. 👇👇

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

E. Jean Carroll: This is a man who wears apricot makeup, with his hair twirled around his head like Barbara Stanwyck in Ball of Fire. I was so close—I heard almost every single thing he said. The farting—you wanted to know about that? It was a silent one… sort of.
