Last night in Riverside, CA, what 6 months ago would’ve been on every new channel, was only on local news. A man drove his vehicle into protesters. At least one woman screamed that her sister had been ran over. /

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Just so I’m clear… Terry Moran got fired, but Mike Lee is still a sitting US senator?

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

BREAKING: Joe Rogan's best friend and famous right-wing podcaster, Dave Smith, has just called for Trump to be IMPEACHED and REMOVED, adding, "All of his supporters should turn on him." About time. Smith is grandson of a Holocaust Survivor. Fact he ever supported Fascism is unbelievable.

New important paper published today shows how “a discernible human influence on atmospheric temperature has likely existed for over 130 years”! (If scientists in the late 19th Century only had the same instrumental accuracy as today’s satellite-borne microwave radiometers!)

“People were wrecking the climate 140 years ago - we just lacked the tech to spot it” | New article by @castelvecchi.bsky.social for @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card. This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

Trump directs war planes to the Middle East. These are in transit. This is confirmed by Germans. I am seeking more confirmations

Tina Smith confronted her Senate colleague Mike Lee over his social media post that blamed the Minnesota lawmaker shootings on “Marxists.”

Today marks the second anniversary of the passing of legendary whistleblower, anti-war hero, and FPF co-founder Daniel Ellsberg. His courageous decision to leak the Pentagon Papers to the press in 1971 led to the most important Supreme Court case for press freedom in the century.

The new @lastweektonight.com piece on juvenile incarceration featured several @ProPublica stories. First up was our 2021 investigation with @wpln.bsky.social about young Black kids in Tennessee jailed for a crime that doesn't exist: www.propublica.org/article/blac...

Great line here: "Considered individually, defendants’ legal arguments are meritless. Considered in the aggregate, they are terrifying."

RFK Jr. says his new vaccine panel has a GW University professor. The school says he doesn't work there www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/r...

Over 75% of folks in ICE custody this year had no criminal record beyond immigration or traffic issues. Less than 10% had serious convictions. Fear sells, but facts matter. #ImmigrationTruth

LEFT: The fake picture of the Department of Defense just posted. RIGHT: The reality. So now the military is not just arresting us on street corners illegally but spreading disinformation. And it's only Monday.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

At the G7 summit, Mark Carney interrupted Trump during a press conference to redirect the discussion towards the meeting’s agenda. Carney’s intervention aimed to prevent the conversation from spiraling out of control, as it had during their previous meeting. www.rawstory.com/trump-canada...

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

Our tax dollars are funding the expansion of private prisons to fuel mass deportations — which means less accountability and more abuses, all on the taxpayers' dime. Tell your representatives: NO FUNDING for Trump's mass deportation agenda.

It's always the ones you least respect!!! If I had a nickel for every time a book banner turned out to be the pedophile they accuse librarians and authors and educators of being...

We need states to intervene, protecting Americans' medical data and stopping RFK Jr.'s dangerous stigmatization of autistic and disabled people. Add your name to the petition! sign.moveon.org/petitions/pr...

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Our Great Neighbors In Canada This Billboard in Calgary near Kanaanskis, Alberta where the G7 meets Trump nothing 🤣 SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦

In Hurricane Katrina, mainstream media were more worried people might take stuff rom WalMart than that grandmothers were dying on rooftops of buildings surrounded by contaminated floodwater.

Here's the latest variant picture with a global scope, to late May. The NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus" variant is just dominant, but appears stalled at around 30%. Growth of the XFG.* "Stratus" variant accelerated to 22%, on a trajectory to take over soon. #COVID19 #Global #NB_1_8_1 #Nimbus #XFG #Stratus 🧵

Here's an animated map showing the spread of the PY.1 variant. The first sample was reported in Ontario, Canada in early March. It was soon reported across North America and Europe and then spread rapidly around the globe. It has been particularly successful in India. #SARSCoV2 #COVID19 #PY_1 🧵

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.
