a nation on edge holds its breath as the former host of celebrity apprentice huddles with his advisors, the wrestlemania ceo and the former co-host of fox & friends weekends

Schatz: People are seeing what chaos really looks like. We are on the brink of some very dangerous developments in the Middle East, and we have chaos inside the US—not chaos the federal government can’t control, but chaos the federal government is, in some instances, precipitating or making worse.

they will never accept their loss

This is awesome. Mike Lee is also on camera saying he wants to end Social Security.

This is an incredibly well done, incredibly sad story from @texastribune.org and @sourcenm.com. “How did we get to this place as a country that we think so poorly of migrants?” a volunteer said during a recent search in the desert.

Given how arbitrary and capricious ICE can be even workers who have completely legal and documented status are staying away Can’t say that I blame them

I know bsky makes photos shit quality, but damn that sunset was pretty

Pearl S. Buck, a Nobel laureate and outspoken ally of #TheDoubleV movement, used her platform to challenge racism in America. Her advocacy connected faith, democracy, & civil rights, urging the nation to confront Jim Crow at home while fighting fascism abroad. #USDemocacy

The band playing "Fortunate Son" might have been the best part of the whole parade. In case you don't know the lyrics, here they are. A perfect gift for a flawed man.

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

Gov Gavin Newsom’s TikTok page is 🔥

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

There’s no greater joy than spending time with my sister at her cabin in the Okanagan…except maybe when Willy joins us on the dock. #coffeetime #willythecat #cabinlife

Why should we believe these men are actually ICE agents and not J6 criminals, thugs, or human traffickers? I want to hear directly from immigrants and citizens who were taken by people like this, hauled off in unmarked cars by masked men with no ID…

As the proud son of immigrants from Mexico, I grew up believing in the promise of America. In the right to speak out when our fundamental rights are threatened. I will always keep doing my job and fighting for the people of California.

Always.

“ I still call Australia home” If you ever want to find more gratefulness for our country. Live & work overseas. We are blessed with awesome oceans, so much choice and views like this #Vivid #Australia #RainbowMonth🌈 #photography

TRUMP: WE NOW HAVE COMPLETE AND TOTAL CONTROL "OVER IRAN SKIES". These MAGA clowns are trying to drag us into WWIII just like they dragged the Bush administration Into desert storm claiming that Saddam Hussein had WMD. That war we lost over 4000 Americans, while Israel sent not one soldier.

"Senator" Mike Lee is a vile piece of sh*t. And I have been emailing him on his government website EVERY DAY since the Minnesota assassinations to let him know that. I'll keep doing that every day going forward.

Feels like a bit of a miss that we've been talking about the fiscal cliff for the past four years and with only five months to go to pass a Doomsday budget no one actually knows what Doomsday looks like. We have vague threats about "40% cuts" and "50 'L' stations closed" but that's really about it.

So anyone in a truck dressed up in cammo and an assault rifle can just pick you up off the in a parking lot now. The opportunity for trafficking and perverts to grab victims is frightening.

We are no longer a civil society People who advocate for the killing of others aren’t given positions of power- they’re shunned. We all own a piece of this- but some own it way more than others- and it’s way past the time to call them out.

Of course asking someone what genitals they had at birth is a breach of the right to privacy. They’re called “private parts” not “private unless you suspect the person is transgender and then be as invasive as you want parts”

Please, please, if you did not see Jon Stewart tonight, go to YouTube, he was on fire!!!!

That’s exactly what this is about. Distraction. For all of this and that lame duck, low energy spectacle

A new genetic method enables more accurate classification of BRCA2 variants, improving risk assessment and treatment options for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. doi.org/g9qmtb

Breaking tonight:

The TRO hearing is today at the 9th circuit, but DOJ really wants a Permanent Injunction (PI), so Gavin Newsom submits over 40 new pieces of evidence in a filing. It includes the National Guard and Marines acting as Law Enforcement storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"The People United, Will Never Be Defeated!" chant crowds as they welcome Mayoral Candidate Brad Lander after he was released from ICE custody with charges dismissed.

Jesus Christ that is one hell of a bow echo. The wind damage is likely going to be massive. And there’s some tornado warnings along the leading edge just due to extreme shear.

💔

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

It never ceases to amaze me the way people can lament the death of innocent people in one location and justify or even celebrate it in another.
