As headlines remain focused on Iran and Israel, Russia escalates its genocidal war—targeting apartment buildings, hospitals, schools, and shelters. Despite much of the media moving on, the attacks are intensifying and growing more brazen by the day.

When GOP leaders disparage critics with BS “marxist” labels, please point out that US right wing populist factions are like China’s cultural revolution & Russian Bolsheviks. Both were extreme regimes, murderously ruinous for regular people. No equivalence on Left www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Red state GOP Sen. Josh Hawley voted with progressive/populist Dems against the Trump-enriching crypto bill that blue-state Dem senators Hickenlooper, Schiff & Booker just joined Republicans to pass. Roll call vote here: www.senate.gov/legislative/... This is what the bill does👇

The bodies weren't even cold before MAGA spun up a conspiracy theory, deflecting blame for the Minnesota shooting and saying no, it was actually Democrats who did it. To themselves. It makes no logical sense. But it does encourage more MAGA violence. www.salon.com/2025/06/16/c...

In other news, Saudi Arabia, which has done as much as anyone to ensure the financial success of Club World Cup for FIFA, has executed a journalist, who was tried in secret, and sentenced to death over what activists say were tweets critical of the regime.

After days of dire warnings ab impending “rent-a-riots” & “color revolutions”, the propagandists of the right wing bullshit machine are subdued today. Fox is continuing to play guilt-by-association thru “revelatory” fundraising DBs but it’s weak. Did you know Dems were involved in the protests?

What a loss to Minnesota and to all Americans. We live in a permissive environment for violence because GOP leaders accept that violence is “voice.”Politically motivated murder is the result. 🧵 of Hortman & colleagues accomplishments.

I am adamantly opposed to the recissions packaged offered on the House floor yesterday, which would codify President Trump and Elon Musk’s unlawful cuts to funding for USAID and public broadcasting, among other important programs.

The footage is disturbing. They threw a US Senator to the ground and handcuffed him for asking a question at a press conference. Fascism. Don’t look away.

Why is Secretary Noem so afraid of answering a U.S. Senator that she would have federal agents forcibly drag him out of her press conference? In a democracy, officials answer questions. In a Gangster State, they send armed agents to wrestle Members of Congress to the ground and handcuff them.

Senator Padilla's job is to show up and ask questions. And that's what he did. It is absolutely unacceptable that Kristi Noem's agents manhandled and detained him.

Reminder that the GOP tanked a bipartisan immigration reform bill in 2023 because Trump told them to. Because he wanted this militarized mayhem in LA. This spectacle is also part of the tech monarchist long game plan to divide humanity by race. Pay attention, America.

What i ❤️most about research on heroic behavior in times of danger & repression is that heroes think everyone would respond similarly. They don’t strategize about it. Says something v loving about some humans’ trusting nature. My mentor called this “the banality of virtue”

Dems, “regular folks” issues are great, but don’t marinate in the anti woke backlash. It was a set up. Also please admit that we do not have an actual Left in the USA. Just check health insurance premiums for data on that. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

This is the U.S.-Mex border in the remote San Rafael Valley. Trump's moving forward at breakneck speed to wall this place off forever. They're racing to replace these wildlife-permeable vehicle barriers with an impenetrable wall—blocking jaguars, ocelots, black bears and deer dead in their tracks.
