MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

Truth

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

The genius Tommy Tuberville whines that “Unelected bureaucrats think they know better than U.S. Congressmen who are elected BY THE PEOPLE.” They DO know better than U.S. Congressmen, especially those who struggle with reality.

Great 🧵

The way people are losing their fucking minds over a proposal for a publicly owned grocery store should give you some insight into how a proposal for public libraries would be greeted today if they didn't already exist.

I have a feeling Americans will be far more open to free, lifelong, universal healthcare, once they get a taste of massive cuts to Medicaid. Dems need to NOT be chickenshit. ACA was a compromise position. If the GOP is willing to go to the wall to hurt Americans, we need to go to the wall

ICE is now detaining Iranian Nationals. This woman had a medical episode and was taken to the hospital. My understanding is her current location is unknown. They also abducted her husband. The net will continue to widen as time goes on and this regime identifies new targets. Are you next?

I don’t remember Republicans saying “there’s nothing we can do” when they were in the minority…

People who say things like “copyright is evil” or the old “information wants to be free” are, well, I’ll be nice and say naive.

Okay, well if you can sue judges, who wants to file a lawsuit against Aileen Cannon with me?

The Republicans are evil, the Democrats are dumb.

The intervention from SCOTUS' conservative majority will allow Donald Trump to continue removals to countries like Libya and South Sudan. Despite the ongoing legal challenges, and despite the White House’s own misconduct. https://trib.al/yfFQr6o

Thank you, GOP, for once again showing us your patriotism.

A protester said he was taking part in a demonstration in front of an ICE facility in Portland, Oregon, when a man drove his car into him. The protester, who does not want to share his identity, says he recorded the incident with his phone.

www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/t... Trump, Musk & Co. are cry babies.

Who else feels safer because Kristy’s on the job?

If you live in the United States, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were six months ago. So is your family. So are your friends and neighbors. https://trib.al/nzgEHm8

He’s right, but the GOP congress doesn’t particularly care.

Unbelievable.

"I really think that's part of these authoritarian tactics, they'll grab whoever they want." NYC Comptroller @bradlander.bsky.social was arrested by ICE earlier this week. Lander joined @marcelias.bsky.social to discuss the event, what it says about the erosion of law and democracy and more.

Apple's AI flops so why not devise research and throw a little shade at Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, and DeepSeek... www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

I'm with @chuygarcia.house.gov, Rep Jonathan Jackson, & Rep Danny Davis at the ICE Processing Center at Broadview to investigate ICE's inhumane, unlawful detention of immigrant families - our constituents. Against the law, we're being denied entry.

Yeah, there are echoes, but this is much worse. No real effort to persuade the American public or bring along international allies, no backing or buy-in from Congress, no pretense of a noble cause or anything, just one dumb power-mad thug being led to war by another.

The US has one political party that tiptoes on eggshells attempting not to offend anyone while the other blatantly lies while calling everyone who doesn't believe their propaganda a slur. If the Democratic party doesn't grow a spine and start going low, we are doomed.

www.businessinsider.com/amazon-ceo-s... People who say AI won’t eliminate jobs aren’t facing reality.

At the very least, they could coordinate their outfits like classier goons do.

The Trump regime is deliberately deploying ICE agents at immigration hearings so they can more easily detain migrants. Armed, masked men abducting people from courthouses —and arresting those who ask why — is the stuff fascism is made of.

Spitting FIRE holy shit 🔥

More shredding care for veterans- doctors can refuse care to patients based on political beliefs or marital status & more! And they can fire staff over these factors as well! Egregious and immoral doesn't begin to cover this. @muellershewrote.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“The contrast between the protests and the military parade suggested an important shift in political culture. The momentum and the joy, as well as the American flags, were on the side of those protesting Trump’s growing authoritarianism.” — @hcrichardson.bsky.social

but… isn’t the point of drinking coffee to sit there and read a book while you do? the decline of reading for fun is maybe the single most depressing thing about the technological era we’re living through
