A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ju... Billionaires’ wealth surged $6.5tn over past decade, Oxfam reports Real-terms gains of $33.9tn for world’s richest 1% ā€˜enough to end annual global poverty 22 times over’, charity says

We have to start now!

*This* is why they are freaking out about Zohran Mamdani.

ā€œSecond-wave feminists embraced sexual freedom in the 1960s, a decade that saw the rise of the birth control pill, and fought for women to get their own credit cards in the 1970s.ā€œ www.vanityfair.com/news/story/r...

UPDATE: 2 more impersonators in Houston alone. (One was shot by a man’s wife) How long are we going to let this madness go on? We should be requiring agents to ID themselves, not legislating to protect masked vigilantes. @MarshaBlackburn

I’m a hardworking, taxpaying, churchgoing, grandkid-raising American citizen. And if I work all day long and want to go home, smoke a joint & just stare at the fireplace for 3 hours…that’s my civil liberty. ‪ @sarapayan.bsky.social‬ reports on my mission to end America's prohibition on marijuana:

TRULY REMARKABLE: ā€œA new Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported.ā€

Do they really think they can scare us with the word ā€œsocialistā€ when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

What to Do If You Encounter an ICE Agent. (print / share). ICE often operate without identification, contributing to fear, confusion, and potential abuse. Demanding accountability helps protect communities and exposes operations that may be unethical or unlawful. #3E #StopICE

A great visionary who worked to realize a vision of this country that once seemed possible. An extraordinary human being & superb journalist who contributed to our shared understanding of our country and of one another. Rest in Peace Bill Moyers. @pbs www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/b...

The reaction from corporate Dems was the same when @aoc.bsky.social won, and now she’s a superstar. If some Dems are resisting @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social , maybe it’s a them problem? www.mediaite.com/politics/hou...

Not sure if this store front is real but whether or not apparently these books are flying off the shelves. But people they were meant to be cautionary tales not blueprints!

To jump on this point, here are places that have implemented some of these radical ideas: City-owned groceries: Erie, Kansas Free buses: Akron, Ohio Ban on noncompete agreements: North Dakota

Walmart and Home Depot have decided to cooperate with ICE. 🤬 Both companies are allowing ICE agents to come onto their premises to arrest innocent shoppers. If you weren’t boycotting them before, you can add them to your list!!

The Rubin Observatory found over 4,000 new asteroids in its first observation. A little unnerving, but pretty exciting. rubinobservatory.org/news/rubin-f...

The government of the GOP-leaning state of Pennsylvania’s operates nearly 600 liquor stores, which makes $242 million of annual net income. www.pa.gov/content/dam/... But media tells me it would be radical communism if NY City ever gets even one publicly owned grocery store.

Thanks for your post.

Welcome to Trump’s America. 🤬 This is messed up on so many levels. How long is Congress going to let this go on? Is this really the version of America that Republicans want because it sure as hell isn’t what the rest of us want. Not. Even. Close. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I cannot believe I have to say this. We should not be confirming judges who advocate for disobeying court orders that are inconvenient for Donald Trump.

Crockett: The First Lady, a model— when I say model I’m not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell level— applied for an Einstein visa. You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement… She had none of those. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see the math ain’t mathin

The Tech Bros reinvented cigarettes ... to be even more toxic and harmful. ā€œOne of the disposable e-cigarettes studied released more lead during a day’s use than nearly 20 packs of traditional cigarettes.ā€ www.ucdavis.edu/news/disposa...

Good discussion @sarahlongwell! These are exactly the sort of questions the new Dem DNC leadership (@KenMartin) are mulling over. I think we're going to be pleasantly surprised! the questionshttps://youtube.com/watch?v=KUHiuN_pJHg&si=F-VyvkIwwaT1BHBh

newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/welcome-to... America has always been the home of the brave. But while Donald Trump’s agenda hurts Americans across the country, our so-called ā€œelitesā€ have shown that they have no desire to push back...."

ā€œI promise you, it would have been a war crime.ā€ that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

Slipped into President Trump's signature bill is a dangerous provision barring states from passing any regulations against discriminatory and harmful AI. Tell your Senators now to oppose the AI regulation ban.

Love this photo of Rosa Parks, perfectly dressed, back straight and eyes forward - the very image of courage and commitment.

WATCH: @sanders.senate.gov & @joerogan on our broken health care system and the ā€œreligion of greedā€ among corporations, 95% (!!) of which are owned by just 3 Wall Street firms — Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street

RFK Jr wants everyone to start using wearables to make us healthy again The man who wants to create lists of autistic people. Lists of those likely to access abortion. Lists of trans people If ever there was a time to go analog, this is it They want your data. And it’s not to make you healthier
