This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country. "This Supreme Court is an existential threat to the rule of law." – Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

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?

Does anyone know what this means or if there is any recourse?

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Proud to be an Oregonian.

I want to circle back to this story; this US citizen, who was merely questioning why an elderly maintenance worker was being taken by the Gestapo, is now speaking out after his detainment. They tried to say he assaulted two agents, but videos prove otherwise. (And btw fuck Walmart for firing him)

Washington Post publishes an op-ed by Kristi Noem attacking Harvard. I wonder which of the two pillars--"personal liberties and free markets"--Jeff Bezos would say this supports.🤔 If you want independent pro-democracy news, information and analysis, sign up for Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

an Andrew Cuomo scandal many seem to have forgotten about: as governor, Cuomo told the people of upstate NY town Hoosick Falls that their water was safe to drink… …while the Obama admin was warning Cuomo that their water was polluted with cancer-causing chemicals

@ionawonderbox.bsky.social another for your collection.

A place too wide for echos, where even time slows to listen. It stretches out like a held breath, waiting to be let go. #ir #landscape #stormhour #blackandwhitephotography #eastcoastkin

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Harvard hired a researcher to uncover its ties to slavery. He says the results cost him his job: ‘We found too many slaves’ www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ju...

I really think this stands a chance at being the least popular war America ever fought. It’s just so viscerally idiotic

So, MAGA, did you really think Trump would keep us out of a huge endless war? youtu.be/swsgNcNOZKI?...

ICE fishing 🎣 🍩 🤪

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?

Happy Juneteenth, to those who celebrate. Double Happy Juneteenth to those who don't. Good morning. 🙂

From carbon pollution to sea-level rise to global heating, the pace and level of key climate change indicators are all in unchartered territory, more than 60 top scientists warned Thursday.

An active duty service member has been sent to a mental health facility against his will after speaking out about ICE’s legal and humanitarian abuses. TikTokers took action, including writing @governor.ca.gov /

#ColorfulMonday Claire Marks from Exeter, CA created this original design that she named "Big Bang." Claire had this quilt as a UFO for years. Her comment was that "She finally bit the bullet" and finished it. Her yellow flying geese are precise and dramatic as related to the adjacent black and red.

Two more Massachusetts teens abducted by the Feds. Neither has a criminal record. Time to rise up like we did for Marcelo. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/15/m...

I am ashamed of this country. We are supposed to be a melting pot of cultures. Celebrating eachother and our differences. I am sick to my stomach.

Oh that wicked, evil Iran.

CARNEY: "Aristotle once taught that virtue is like a muscle that grows with exercise. We become just by doing just acts, brave by doing brave acts, empathetic when we show empathy, when we are kind, kindness grows. When we are Canadian, Canada grows. Pride. Is. Canadian." #cdnpoli #pride

Senior officers of the United States military have an obligation to speak up and be leaders. Where is the Army chief of staff? Will he or others speak truth to the commander in chief and put a stop to the assault on the integrity of his troops? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Democrats, where are you in joining @repilhan.bsky.social in submitting bills to protect the First Amendment rights of your constituents from the fascist Republicans? We need you doing everything to prevent the suppression of Constitutionally-protected dissent.

Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho didn't hold back when expressing his anger and "contempt" after agents with Homeland Security attempted to gain access to two elementary schools earlier this week.

me, trying to stop the blood gushing from my leg after a rubber bullet tore through it: "Oh thank god, it's my Senator!" Adam Schiff, looking disappointed: "You've played right into Donald Trump's hands"

@repmaxinewaters.bsky.social pleads with National Guard to not use their guns, yesterday.

I’m old fashioned, but I thought the military was supposed to fight for us, not fight us.
