Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Most cracked out news cycle in recent memory. Big thanks to Minnesota law enforcement for fueling this insane conspiracy theory by posting that picture of the words “no kings” with absolutely zero context

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

lmaoo never gets old

You all never going to guess where I’m at.

Steven Leckie of the Viletones has died. He was defining figure in the early Toronto punk scene. I saw the Viletones and Leckie a couple of times. He was always abrasive. But he was true to his code and never faded away. Go to the angels. You left your mark. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCjd...

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Apparently there’s no money for life saving science, but there’s money for a parade.

This is incredible

The people running the team know better, too. But they’ve made a decision to bury their heads in the sand and hope that all of this passes before ICE raids the Dodger Stadium parking lot.

I missed that Jeff Bezos sold the Post to Donald Trump directly.

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

Police are useless at literally everything

‼️‼️

Trump has not only pardoned insurrectionists who tried to violently overturn an election result but is now “settling” lawsuits by those insurrectionists, giving them multimillion dollar rewards for their political violence. There’s a straight line to the Minnesota assassin trying to seize…

Faaaaaaascism its technofascism

If you haven’t been following it, CBP’s social media posts have been some of the most unhinged, aggressive, and un-American content I’ve ever seen posted to an official USG account. No sense that they answer to the American people. It’s what an invading army posts. www.instagram.com/reel/DK2GVid...

While thunderstorms could disrupt the Army’s 250th anniversary on Saturday in D.C., weather will vary at locations around the country where rallies are planned. Check the forecast where many of the main rallies are planned:

Thank you for speaking out.

This deep dive on the anti-vaccine researcher hired by Kennedy to dig into HHS/CDC data is realllly interesting. sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-long-med... By @kathleenseidel.bsky.social

This would just be pure comedy if it weren't about the people ostensibly in control of our military. @kerryhowley.bsky.social reports inside the DoD workplace drama. nymag.com/intelligence...

NEW: 12 masked armed men try to enter a homeless shelter without saying who they are. ICE agents park outside an elementary school, sparking fear and a car accident. Local police respond to a call about a possible assault, only to find ICE. Inside one day on LI: theintercept.com/2025/06/13/i...

💀 Why are so many new #horror films based on #publicdomain works? 🔪 This #FridayThe13th (fittingly), let’s look at what this slasher surge says about remix culture & the role of the public domain. More ➡️ blog.archive.org/2025/06/13/s... #PublicDomainDay #InternetArchive

I'll be honest: I enjoy reading articles about how unqualified ideologues selected for their loyalty to an authoritarian president are suffering at their jobs.

History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

Billy Long's sole qualification to run the IRS is that, in 2023–24, he ran a large-scale tax fraud operation. I am not making this up.

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

Well, I forgot my roommate from my summer 2012 apartment sublet in D.C. is now the Secretary of the Army, until tonight, when he told Fox News there is a troop on the moon
