One would think we would have learned this lesson after Reagan.

What a monster.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Mamdani and Lander fucking rule. We don’t need to put up with sex pests, megalomaniacs, or careerist losers.

If Mamdani wins there's going to be 1000 horrible op-eds talking about how it was driven by Oberlin grads who've taken over Brooklyn with dogs & babies. Those people exist. But in my experience - 26 yrs - my bodega guy & the guy from PS 15 & me all want to be able to afford to live here.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

The number of immigrants detained in ICE facilities across the country has reached a record high of more than 56,000. The driving force behind this surge is the detention of immigrants with no prior criminal convictions.

EVERY FRIGGIN DAY.....🇺🇸💯🇺🇸

Just because he pulled out doesn’t mean it’s over. Rapists never understand that #NoWar #ImpeachTrump

For those who say “Illegal is illegal.” On this Juneteenth, remember: slavery was once legal. Harboring a fugitive enslaved person? Illegal. Black freedom? Illegal. “Illegal is illegal” has always been used to defend injustice. Legality ≠ morality. Justice calls us higher.

Have a blessed Juneteenth my friends!!

Most accurate to describe these crews as an amorphous paramilitary group with ties to various federal agencies, tasked with suppressing dissent and causing fear in areas that don’t support the current President

What better way to observe the end of slavery than a rich old white man yelling to work harder.

Hard to argue with that.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

This is bravery and decency. This is what people upset about this administration want. If you really believe this stuff is wrong, and you have a public profile and principles and want to say you're a leader, then get out there and do the damn thing.

Looking at this list of countries seems pretty clear to me Trump wants to ban anyone coming to the US who’s not white we must stop him #resist #antiracism #defeattheGOP Trump administration weighs adding 36 countries to travel ban - www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Turns out, the “Don’t Tread On Me” states’ rights gang is rather partial to heavy treading.

Hundreds of millions to militarize our streets, for a dear leader parade. And GQP Education committee will spend millions further investigating Harvard because they hire too many women & minorities. Waste, fraud, abuse,the GOP way www.masslive.com/news/2025/06...

Love. No Disclaimers Needed. I've updated my most popular shirt, Love Without The Fine Print, with a new design. It ships worldwide. 🌎 🌈

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

I like this Gavin more than podcast Gavin.

This is the way.

This is very well put!

Violent insurrectionists attacked the U.S. Capitol, the citadel of democracy, and assaulted police officers and Donald Trump watched it all on TV and did nothing except savor it.

Thought for the day: “We have to take back the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., period, end of sentence, If you’re not doing something to assist in that endeavor, you’re doing it wrong.” J. B. Pritzker

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

How disgusting is it that a social media spat between two immature men can have this big an effect on the stock market #taxtherich #defeattheGOP

#pride #lovingneighbors

The Trump administration's free speech tourists went on a wild censorship spree this week.

#parenting has its moments

This nails it.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Greetings from Geneva, where I’ve been encouraged to meet so many people fighting tuberculosis and other diseases of injustice. I have also been horrified and outraged to learn more about the death and suffering directly caused by the US abandoning human health initiatives. Hard days.

The GOP, Trump, and MAGA will stop at nothing to destroy higher education in the US in the name of their nationalist and discriminatory beliefs. This will destroy our civil society and standard of living. We must peacefully and firmly oppose them in every way we can!!! #supporthighereducation

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

These are deeply, profoundly, tragically abnormal times riven by cruel, hateful, reckless and ignorant people bent on dismantling our government, strengthening Putin, stoking fear, breaking our spirit, enriching themselves and ruling over the ashes of public liberty. We won’t let them succeed.

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. This is a political stunt—point blank.
