This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported. That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office. On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!

Over 11,000 people were either fired or took buyouts at the IRS. And roughly $500 billion in revenue will be lost just this year because of the cuts. Remind us again how that improves government efficiency?

“…police began to detain and zip-tie them before they could comply with their orders to disperse. ‘We met a lot of physical violence during the arrest itself.’ “

The U.S. economy shrank at a 0.5% annual pace from January through March as President Donald Trump's import taxes at least temporarily disrupted business, the Commerce Department reported Thursday in a a downgrade from its previous estimate.

CA National Guard troops under federal control helped DEA agents on a marijuana raid last week - that’s “an alarming escalation of Trump’s efforts to use the military as a domestic police force,” says @lizagoitein.bsky.social

CNN: Three sources tell CNN that according to an early U.S. Intelligence assessment, the U.S. Military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country's nuclear program and likely only set it back a few months

Today in “neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party”

128 Democrats vote against impeaching Trump.

France joins the growing wave of governments banning misleading marketing of automated driving features! The UK has recommended making this a criminal offense, China has banned certain terms outright, and California will try to yank Tesla's license to sell cars in the state next month over this.

looks like Tesla's big robotaxi stock pump has worn off already, with shares down 2% for the day it should be down way more on the strength of this pathetic little performance, but we'll take what we can get

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

BREAKING: Israel's military warned its public that Iran launched missiles towards it, even as a proposed ceasefire hung in the air. Alerts began going off on mobile phones in Israel about the barrage.

Tesla robotaxi incidents, caught on camera in Austin, draw regulators' attention - @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/06/23/t... Full statement from the federal vehicle safety regulator, NHTSA, below...

Scoop: Florida is building a detention facility for migrants nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz,” in the Everglades designed to help the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. DHS will help pay for the detention facility with money from FEMA. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/u...

The US Supreme Court rules that there is no law and there is no constitution

BREAKING: The US Supreme Court lifts limits on deporting migrants to countries not their own

Yep yep yep. Today's decision effectively tells the Trump administration that they are not obligated to follow court orders they don't think are right. We are going to see a LOT of contempt proceedings over the next year.

This is pretty bad www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Gee, I wonder why.... 🤔 Why Factories Are Having Trouble Filling Nearly 400,000 Open Jobs www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/b...

This should not be happening anywhere, let alone in the U.S. This must stop.

"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025

Iran saved Russia as it was about to collapse with drones and missiles. FYI

Rubio on CBS: "This wasn't a regime change move." Vance on ABC: "Well, first of all, we don't want to achieve regime change." Vance on NBC: "our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change." Trump, not waiting even 24 hours to undercut and humiliate them:

Host: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization? Rubio: That’s irrelevant Host: No, that's a key point Rubio: No it’s not… Forget about intelligence

Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. “There is no intel,” one of the sources says. “The intelligence assessments have not really changed”

Pretty wild how similar the statements of the heads of 🇨🇦 & 🇬🇧 are today

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Bingo. Trump falls into the Netanyahu trap www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Iranian foreign minister: "It was the US who betrayed diplomacy, who betrayed negotiations when, at the middle of negotiations with us, they gave green light to Israelis... I think they have proved they are not men of diplomacy and they only understand the language of threat and force."

BREAKING: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the U.S. is 'fully responsible' for the consequences of its strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, and diplomacy is not an option at the moment. Follow AP's live updates.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

Elon doesn’t like the answers Grok is giving about a disinfo specialist, so he says he will reprogram it 👇🏽 This is the propaganda machine they want to poison Memphis for? @MemphisHoller

Tesla's robotaxi pilot program launches on June 22 with a human "Tesla Safety Monitor" in the front seat. So, you know, not an autonomous vehicle 🤔

NEW: Data shows that as of June 15, fully 30% of all people arrested by ICE and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD. 11,763 people in detention as of last Sunday had no criminal record and were arrested inside the country by ICE -- an increase of 4,000 people in two weeks!

A federal appeals court in California ruled that President Trump can maintain control over California National Guard troops in Los Angeles — rejecting at least temporarily Gov. Gavin Newsom's attempt to take back control of the Guard.

China floods Brazil with cheap EVs triggering backlash reut.rs/3HNi4Mk

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Los Angeles #TeslaTakedown folks are targeting Tesla's presence at the Electrify Expo tomorrow and Saturday (June 20-21). This kind of marketing event is an IDEAL target for this movement, reaching potential EV buyers where they are. Please show up if you can! actionnetwork.org/events/tesla...

The FDA on Wednesday approved a twice-yearly injection that provided a near-perfect shield against HIV infection in clinical trials.

A new Texas AV permitting regime goes into effect on September 1, and lawmakers are asking Tesla to delay its Austin robotaxi deployment until then, or demonstrate compliance with its requirements. This is an... unexpected wrinkle!

This is what competitive authoritarianism looks like in practice. The opposition can’t win because they’re a mess and lack resources — and they’re a mess and lack resources because they can’t win. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/u...

Back in March, we set a goal to host a protest at every US showroom. For June 28, the goal is to have the most fun possible by ruining Elon's birthday. Find an action to join or plan one in your community! #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Musk is shitting his bed. Trump hates addiction (his brother died from it). Musk didn't care when the WSJ had a scoop about Tesla's Board being worried about his drug abuse in Jan-2024. Why is Musk posting this now, just 11 days after calling Trump a "pedo"? FSD issues?

NEW: As Trump calls on ICE to ramp up arrests and deportations in America’s biggest cities, because they are the “Democrat Power Center,” he and his administration are eyeing Illinois for the next militarized crackdown.
