Told my wife about today's Supreme Court decision to punish my child for being who they are and she flashed a smile of defiance that could shatter glass. They haven't made us sad, they've made us angry, and we are ready to fight

It's a gang, which Trump loves.

So we all need to say again loudly that transgender people exist and deserve equal protection under the constitution, because this morning our highest court went with discrimination. Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench. In sadness, I repost it.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Congress members have a legal right to conduct oversight at ICE facilities. This is the regime hiding its blatant abuses.

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

oh my god

“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)

Always.

The Trump administration is shutting down services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide hotline. Since the hotline’s launch, callers could press 3 to speak with counselors trained to work specifically with LGBTQ youth, who are four times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers.

"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."

Less than two weeks ago, the richest man in the world claimed the president of the United States was directly involved with Jeffrey Epstein and that seems like five years and 15 scandals ago. This is all quite unsustainable.

WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.” Tucker Carlson embarrasses @sentedcruz as he pushes for war with Iran

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

This is insane

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

Hey, Mike. As someone whose wife barely survived an assassination attempt, let me tell you: Your joke isn't funny and you have an entire state to apologize to.

A Democratic comptroller in NYC arrested A Democratic marcher shot and killed A Democratic State Representative killed A Democratic Congresswoman indicted A Democratic Mayor arrested A Democratic Senator tackled and detained A Democratic State Representative in critical condition

Another reason that Desperate Donnie left the G7 Summit early. Carney announces the release of another $2bn of frozen Russian assets and sanctions on Russia (including shadow fleets). “The support will be unwavering until we get a just peace for Ukrainian people.”

New insult just dropped

BREAKING UPDATE: Charges against New York City mayoral candidate Brad Lander have been dropped He was arrested for allegedly obstructing an ICE arrest open.substack.com/pub/newsbrea...

Padilla said Trump is on a "tour of retribution" in his first floor speech since he was handcuffed at Noem's press briefing last week.

This is how you get American soldiers and civilians killed.

The space between Netanyahu and Trump is called “The Perineum”.

JD Vance made a grave miscalculation when posting his ‘Les Miserables’ joke on social media: His boss, Donald Trump, is a huge theater queen.

Iran: Weeks away from having nuclear weapons since 1995

NY Governor Kathy Hochul inside 26 Federal Plaza now, seeking answers from DHS/ICE about the arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, who is still being detained. @thecity.nyc "How long is this going to take, I don't think he has a long rap sheet," Hochul says to agents.

Would you look at that.

Cities with sanctuary policies should stop letting the feds take advantage of their courthouses to make arrests of immigrants. That’s clear commandeering under the 10th amendment. The feds like it because prospective arrestees pass through the magnetometers. No requirement they land that hand.

RFK Jr. and his aides accuse scientists of corruption, but they are the ones plundering public health. The self-dealing is damning. Time to focus the spotlight, collect the receipts, and prepare the investigation. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/16/n...

Has any journalist looked into who these men are? Why is this allowed for law enforcement? How do we know this isn't a right-wing assassin? Has ICE filled the ranks with militia members, Proud Boys, 3%s, KKK, and the like? Is that why their identities are being hidden and why they dress like this?

Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is now here calling for the release of Lander (his fellow mayoral candidate)

BREAKING: ICE arrests New York City official Brad Lander for asking for a judicial warrant.

Day 67. 😏

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

The band playing "Fortunate Son" might have been the best part of the whole parade. In case you don't know the lyrics, here they are. A perfect gift for a flawed man.
