On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

“A horrible display of waste… rotting fruits and vegetables… store after store closed… if the ice raids continue be ready for even bigger sticker shock when you go grocery shopping…” 🍎 🥕

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

Let's keep building a stronger, fairer, and more inclusive Canada for everyone.

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

Canada Just Hit Putin Where It Hurts — Trump Cheers the Kremlin From Home. Trump bailed as Mark Carney stood shoulder to shoulder with Volodymyr Zelensky at the G7, Canada didn’t just talk about defending democracy — it led #[email protected] deanblundell.substack.com/p/breaking-c...

In 1940, as the world braced for yet another world war, silent film legend and icon, Charlie Chaplin, spoke for the first time on camera. He ended his film, "The Great Dictator" with this stirring plea against tyranny. It could have been written today. youtu.be/J7GY1Xg6X20?...

Fuck! This! No

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

Nobody of intelligence wants to work with him either www.cbsnews.com/news/fiona-h...

Charlie Angus says the world is looking to Canada to hold the line against Trump and rising authoritarianism. Is Canada ready? Watch now: youtube.com/shorts/0bfPl... #DemocracyUnderThreat #USPoli #CdnPoli @charlieangus104.bsky.social

NEW VANDY POLL: Most of 🇺🇸 believes in due process for ALL, say Trump should follow court orders, and reject him having control over University enrollment. news.vanderbilt.edu/2025/06/18/v...

"Maybe you should have marched better in Dear Leader's birthday parade. Kidding! We would have deported her anyway. We don't care about you people."

Alberta to charge for #COVID19 shots as its war against #vaccination continues. It’s clear government would be happy if no one requested the COVID-19 vaccine so it could pretend the disease doesn’t exist at all, by @gillian2.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... via @thestar.com

While she won't get into specifics about what was discussed, Senator Amy Klobuchar confirmed that both she and Senator Tina Smith were able to convince Senator Mike Lee (UT) to take down his reprehensible tweet mocking the politically motivated murders in Minnesota.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

They just detained Brad Lander.

YES!!! COURT ISSUES INJUNCTION AGAINST EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT TRIED TO FORCE STATES TO DEMAND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP TO REGISTER TO VOTE! The order, which came at the end of an 44-page opinion, contains a couple of Easter eggs, so be sure to check out the screenshot which I've included!

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…

‘This is not a joke’: Sen. Amy Klobuchar rips Mike Lee for posts about a deadly Minnesota shooting On a personal X account, Lee made apparent jokes tying the violence to Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections. For my latest and to access all Democracy Docket premium content, sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

In #Odesa, an inclusive resource center that provided services to thousands of children with disabilities was destroyed by the Russian attack. Two animals participating in canine therapy (a method of treatment and rehabilitation using specially trained dogs) were killed as a result of the shelling.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Tina Smith on Mike Lee: "I went to him and I said, 'Your message on social media showed the image of the man who killed my friend ... and your message is, this is what happens? You need to take responsibility and accountability ...' And I wanted him to hear that from me directly."

Members of RFK Jr’s new vaccine committee have published very little on vaccines. Yet, he purged a vetted world-class panel of immunization experts in favor of cranks & quacks. Their presence represents a major loss of genuine expertise www.science.org/content/arti...

True.

Judge rules cuts to National Institutes of Health ILLEGAL.

It most certainly is!

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

President Zelensky: “The Americans asked us not to strike Russia’s energy infrastructure—shortly after, Russia launched a combined attack on our energy facilities in Kremenchuk.”

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Please keep your eyes on Portland Oregon right now There's a riot declared near the ice facility in Portland and DHS agents have pulled lethal guns on protesters with live ammo at least four times the last half hour

@padilla.senate.gov: "We’re a co-equal branch of government, our job is oversight and accountability... If there's an opportunity for me to ask a question in-person at a press conference in my home state, that's me doing my job."

BREAKING: It appears that ICE may have conducted a hit and Run in Los Angeles in the last hour. krassencast.com/p/breaking-a...
