You know your country has screwed up priorities when it pretends it doesn't have the money to prevent LGBTQ teen suicides but it *does* have the funds to subsidize the wealthiest man in the world's engineering incompetence. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?

🚨 AG James Uthmeier was held in contempt for continuing to enforce a law that was deemed unconstitutional. "Florida deserves an Attorney General who upholds the law and fights for the people of Florida, not his own personal agenda.” Full statement ⤵️ www.floridadems.org/2025/06/18/f...

Hegseth knows he’s going to be asked to shoot at protesters—and the scariest part is, he probably will.

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

Thou shalt expel Mike Lee from the Senate and banish him from society, for he mocked and celebrated the murder of a political opponent.

“Public service should never be a hazardous activity. But neither should walking in a mall, strolling down the street, watching a movie in a theater, shopping for groceries, or sitting in a classroom.” #NHPolitics www.seacoastonline.com/story/opinio...

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

We may make the squeaking our ringtone

BRENNAN: The public approval is so high of deportation PADILLA: It depends how you ask the question. If you ask the same people, 'Do you think we should maintain due process in the US?' the answer is overwhelmingly yes

A long long time ago, in a far away galaxy... the US used to tax the rich

These 2 graphs don’t need explanation. It’s a massive wealth transfer to those who need the least.

11 MILLION PEOPLE!! 💥💥💥 Are we nearing the magic 3.5%?? Never forget….WE hold the power. #nokings

when 4-5M people march peacefully against the current regime it's the story of the year. NYT cannot bring itself to focus on that reality.

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.”

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

"Wake up, sheeple!"

What if he threw a $45 million parade and nobody came? Boring. Low energy. Sad!

❤️❤️

“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.” Yesterday, you were the stars, your compassion, your courage, your pride in standing up for what’s right lit up the darkness. This is the America we believe in. 💚✊

EPIC response.

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

Just don't terrorize "my" people who make lots of 💰for me & aren't treated/paid what they're worth.

Chicago congresswoman @repdeliaramirez hands Kristi Noem a letter of resignation and encourages her to use it 👀

Newsom’s social media team is killing it. (This isn’t an old picture. It’s from right now. I asked.) 😂😂😂😂

The journalistic shortcomings of this story aside, we are far more likely to witness law enforcement-instigated violence than protester violence tomorrow

This is heartbreaking. (via someone at the St. Paul rally)

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

*taps the sign*

Repealing the ACA’s consumer protections & Medicaid subsidies would be bad, but it’s also true that Obamacare fortifying the power of insurance companies has been a disaster & none of the Abundance Guys who shit on the left for warning about this at the time have ever apologized.

Right Wing groups are organizing globally to fight against LGBT progress. We need to unite globally to fight back.

NEW: The tactic has been used by autocrats the world over — including in Turkey, Hungary and El Salvador — to erode perceptions of the courts’ legitimacy and weaken the rule of law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Video from about an hour ago as less than lethal rounds are being used against protesters in Southern California

Ahem.

This is unspeakable not because it happened to someone who has been on TV but because it happened in 2025. That authorities seemingly did nothing about the harassment that led to this. If the person/people who did this think they hold the moral high ground, they have no morals.

Is THIS enough? handcuffs and checking her all over? She is SIX!!

Stop the fossil fuel handouts: Fewer Than 2 in 10 Canadians Want Their Tax Dollars Going To Largely Foreign-Owned Companies To Build More LNG Projects cape.ca/press_releas...

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Jesus. BREAKING: Federal government moving to take over California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers, governor says.

This is so cruelly sick!

This is why we should never debate the worth of another person We all have value just for being ourselves It’s not tied to our job, or health status or our economic contribution Saying that someone must prove they “matter” to get Medicaid is blatant eugenics Disabled people aren’t expendable!

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

We're are a cruel country

Since when are opinions facts? The Holocaust demonstrable occurred: that is a fact, not an opinion. People who espouse opinions contrary to fact do not belong on any credible Universities faculty. Maybe they could get a job at Hillsdale College or at one of the fundamentalist universities.
