@daniellemoodie.bsky.social and I will do an emergency Democracy-ish on Substack Live around 1 pm ET discussing #nokings rally and the escalating violence in this absurd country. Join us. Thelefthook.substack.com

Hello from the No Kings protest in Philadelphia. The park is already pretty filled up, and it doesn’t actually start for another 30 minutes.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

Who was MN Rep. Melissa Hortman in the MN Legislature? READ about her consequential leadership in this THREAD by @taniel.bsky.social. Take the time.

Can I get a big ol’ lol in the chat?

Los Angeles #NoKings

The United States must not be drawn into Netanyahu’s illegal war against Iran. I will be introducing legislation to prohibit the use of federal funds for any use of military force in or against Iran without specific Congressional authorization, with an exception for self-defense.

Provincetown is a small town, and it’s raining today, but I did a quick headcount and we’ve got 500+ people at our drag-queen-hosted #NoKings rally!

The political assassination in Minnesota should horrify and appall all of us. The Contrarian team sends our deepest condolences for the deaths of Representative Melisa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and sends our prayers for the Hoffmans' fast recovery.

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

Trump has pledged to restore Confederate names to military bases, even though it would violate a statute passed by Congress. These names belong to traitors who led a rebellion against America. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

So far, deportations haven't dramatically spiked under Trump, writes @alibreland.bsky.social. But the administration’s immigration tactics are so shocking, callous, and inescapable that they have generated the appearance of mass deportations.

The Republican Bill for Donald Trump's tax scam will leave nearly 11 million people without health care. It is projected to add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years and contradicts claims by the White House and Republican leaders that the bill won't worsen the national debt.

The current federal tax system disproportionately favors billionaires and burdens the working class, while enabling the ultra-wealthy to exploit loopholes, exacerbating income inequality and undermining the principle that no one should be taxed into poverty… In other words, we are footing the bill.

If Pete Hegseth recommended mobilizing the National Guard, he needs to resign now. The job is too big for him. I'm concerned that these actions can come right here to Dalton, West Rome, Cedartown, and all the other small towns across Georgia.

The American flag isn’t a brand. It isn’t a weapon of the MAGA Right. It’s a symbol of progress, of shared responsibility, and of the freedom we owe one another. It’s time we reclaim it. www.chamberlainnetwork.us/the-report/f...

Two-thirds of voters at Indiana University Bloomington’s sole on-campus polling site used their university ID to vote last fall. Indiana banned students from using these IDs for voting this spring. boltsmag.org/indiana...

What Are Iran’s Nuclear and Missile Capabilities? Iran’s nuclear program and missile arsenal have garnered increased international scrutiny amid its flaring conflict with Israel and reports of its growing stockpile of enriched uranium. www.cfr.org/article/what...

Newsom: "The notion that the US active duty Marines, these heroes, would be used to militarized the streets of an American city is an abomination. The Founding Fathers did not live and die to see that happen in this country for no reason whatsoever than vanity."

In a decisive legal setback for Donald Trump, the full bench of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has DENIED the president’s appeal challenging the civil verdict in favor of writer E. Jean Carroll.

You know how you are tired of the chaos, ICE raids, lack of due process, etc... You know who also is tired? They are! Keep pushing forward!!!

As the videotapes clearly show, Noem is lying. Padilla is clearly identifying himself as a senator before he he is thrown to the ground and handcuffed. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

The Iran Nuclear Deal done by Obama was a success and was originally dismissed by hawks on both sides. Later, even the hawks, like Mattis, came around and said it was a success and reduced the temperature. Trump torpedoed it in his first Administration. Mindless, reckless, incompetent escalation.
