@pressley.house.gov Please be a voice for change among the Democrats in Congress.

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

The point of masked men is to make them seem inhuman, as though their authority and capacity for violence cannot be resisted. But people are refusing. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/masked-men...

I expect to hear Boston described as a "city on a hill" in the Mayor's race every four years but never until this year in the most knuckleheaded way possible

Congratulations on the bouncing bundle of utter bullshit she carried to term

N95 masks are PPE. They’re designed to protect the wearer from covid, airborne viruses, wildfire smoke & more. They’re a public health tool. Gaitors & bandanas are face coverings worn by ICE goons who want to conceal their identity because they’re kidnapping people They’re not the same.

I am scrambling to make a hard move out date on Tues. I deserve to live in a stranger-free apt with locking doors, that was not in pre eviction ready. I need to raise 6K. I'd already decided I would become a Malörtian full time. Tryna to make my connected & community-led health stand in CHI.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

Once again, Jeffries and Schumer both consistently show they are not equipped for this moment in history. They care more about not pissing off AIPAC than defending democracy and protecting the People from a fascist nightmare and an entirely optional war.

Catholic clergy showed up to walk immigrants to court. ICE scattered. More of this, more priests, nuns, pastors, rabbis, imams escorting immigrants. ICE may have no problem arresting elected officials, but they don't want to be seen slamming Bishop Pham or Sister Mary Therese to the ground.

Exactly. People like JD NEED you to quote-dunk to disseminate their trash. And when you do that, you're not getting off a sweet burn; you're being his volunteer street team. Good on everyone for seeing through the bullshit. We know their playbook by now, and oughta act like it.

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

This obscenity should be a huge story in every media outlet right now

This should be repeated and remembered: I saw some folks decrying Ghost or Buttondown for being too expensive but... in actuality Substack's price is artificially low. Get out, now, before they keep you from leaving and come for the bill.

There is something wrong with the vast majority of a very specific fucking demographic BUT AMERICA KEEPS PRETENDING THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.

“After more than three months we can finally breathe a sigh of relief and know that Mahmoud is on his way home to me and Deen, who never should have been separated from his father,” Noor Abdalla, Khalil’s wife, said in a statement. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Love this. AI booby traps!

Block JD Vance, the existence of trans children is not a debatable topic. Send him back the bridge he crawled out from under.

The guy arresting you shouldn’t look like the guy in a ski mask robbing a liquor store. It’s why we’re advancing legislation to put a stop to secret police-style masked law enforcement.

$25,000 covers HRT for a year for 15 trans people. Help Point of Pride reach this goal and provide gender affirming care including electrolysis, or free binders and shapewear directly to trans youth!!! secure.givelively.org/donate/point...

Fuck all of these Vichy Dems. We fucking told you. Your constituents called and emailed and went to your town halls. Vichy @democrats.senate.gov Dems fuck off.

LAPD is illegally sharing license plate data with ICE and Border Patrol Under California law, police agencies are barred from sharing license plate reader data with out-of-state public agencies or federal entities. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/lapd...

The individual maximum a person can donate to a NYC mayoral candidate is $2100. Mike Bloomberg just donated $8.3 million to Andrew Cuomo through a super PAC. This is what a rigged campaign finance system, designed to let the wealthy buy elections, looks like.

"Why is there a law banning this thing that harms no one," is a question you should be asking all the time.

A reminder to vote early if you can! Election Day is going to be HOT.

Listen to my friend @alokpatelmd.bsky.social

Incredibly important read. This is exactly what LAPD did to me and two other legal observers standing on a quiet street corner this past weekend—except with rubber bullets, not pepperballs, and aimed at our heads, not our feet. …oh, and the officer waved tauntingly right before shooting at us.

Abolishing ICE remains as important as ever. Not only that—it is an obvious litmus test for anyone seeking political office. You can’t proclaim to fight Trumpist extremism and dodge its most visible, horrifying manifestation, writes @jackmirkinson.bsky.social:

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in. It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.

One of the agents who arrested Brad Lander for asking to see a judicial warrant. ICE was involved, but who’s this ninja? An agent of Trump’s secret police. Fascism is an aesthetic. This black-masked man is a statement of intention & belief; the intention is sadism; the belief is in power.

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

“You do not have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens,” Lander repeated, as the officers tightened handcuffs to his wrists.

It's not just the raids--- people are dying while in ICE custody, and we need to pay attention to this. A Haitian woman died in ICE custody in Florida in April. At the time ICE said her death was "under investigation". www.ice.gov/news/release...

Suggest masking in groups and around strangers (you know if you need to with family or friends.) You don't want this, says a good friend who can barely swallow water. :(

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...

A reminder that the cops have been established to actually have no obligation to protect. Look up Warren v District of Columbia if you want to make your skin crawl.

Hey, @massgovernor.bsky.social, how do you intend to protect Massachusetts residents from this kind of blatantly unlawful kidnapping by men who *might* be ICE agents but refuse to identify themselves and use strong-arm tactics to intimidate and disappear people. Tell us your plan. We need to know.

Seeing the impact of those billionaire dollars w/ a wave of negative coverage -- if you're in NYC, help the Mamdani campaign out if you can. He can make the city better. And please, whatever you do, do not rank Cuomo.

if you're trans or black or muslim, everything you do is considered political, but if you're a christian terrorist, you're just an apolitical part of The System (derogatory)

Listen, we're straight shooters at Hell Gate. We play no favorites. Like, say if anyone wracked up speeding violations in school zones, and then parked their car in the middle of traffic in midtown Manhattan. You know what we'd call you? An ASSHOLE. Here's one. hellgatenyc.com/cuomo-derang...

If a pregnant woman is brain dead, in a coma, and no longer has rights to make decisions about the pregnancy according to E. Bruenig, that means we don’t have a say in what happens to our organs and corpses after we die. We are public property upon death. Quite an argument!

The Senate reconciliation bill retains the trans healthcare Medicaid/CHIP ban. Call your Senators, we still have a good shot at killing this provision. Hundreds of thousands of people rely on this care.

LOOK AT THIS SHIT: Marines and ICE team up in a show of force, turning a community swap meet into a surveillance operation. Witnesses say people were cornered, forced to identify themselves, and had their photos taken — without suspicion or a warrant. This is a police state.

This is going to be a great weekend for live theater in WI.
