#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Good morning! Below is my favorite picture from yesterday. Let’s teach our children kindness and compassion and empathy. Get them involved in community service. Encourage open-mindedness and tolerance. #TeachYourChildrenWell #LittleLiberal

How many reporters are currently working on tell-all exposés about their own organization, detailing all the acts of cowardice of their editors and publishers? I won’t ever buy your book about Sleepy Joe Biden, but I’d absolutely devour a book about the internal collapse of the NYT or CNN.

Schrödinger's parade - the crowd was both sparse and dense.

Lots of coping happening tonight from the snowflakes.

Now, let’s get busy being involved in campaigns and local Democratic parties. We have a fundraiser on the 27th so we can keep our HQ. To RSVP and purchase your tickets or sponsorship, please visit:https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ycdp-forwardtogether

I think there’s a disruption in the space-time continuum

You know Fetterman is on the wrong side when Trump shares his tweet.

👇🏼😆

😍🙌🏻 Older women are the fiercest force on the front lines. These two, well into their 80s, marched through the blazing Denver sun—walkers and all—with unstoppable spirit. In 90-degree heat, they showed up, stood tall, and reminded us: never underestimate the power of seasoned defiance.

@12onyourside.com where is your coverage of the No Kings protest yesterday? Thousands of your viewers were out protesting and there’s nothing on your morning news or on your Bluesky feed. I wonder why?

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

Maybe he’ll fire Hegseth for putting on the most pathetic parade in the history of parades and embarrassing him in front of the world?!? 🙏🤣🤯💙

15 June 1919 | A Polish Jewish woman, Chaya Bluma Hauszwalb, was born in Puławy. She lived in Paris. In November 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz from Drancy. She did not survive.

🇺🇸🙌🏻 Herbert Garber will be 101 next month and he's not too old to represent at a No Kings Day protest!!!!

Okay, finally, there’s coverage about the marches on NBC 12. The number they are reporting apx. 10,000 protesters!!!! Yay, RVA!!! And thank you NBC 12 for honest reporting! It was an amazing day!!!

"I'm just so scared. I'm 74 years old. I worry about everything. I just, I just am so scared and upset, and I don't - I don't understand why people voted for this person."

Even they can’t spin this “Trump military parade met with empty seats amid nationwide protests”

The photos coming from Trump’s birthday parade are just incredible. No one showed up.

Everyone's having a lovely time at the big para.......oh

He’s earned every one of those pins. Major #TACOTrump reporting for pretend duty!

At the brink of war, our military is being led by an incompetent drunk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tUo...

The Lincoln Project never fails! Brilliant

Decorum.

I may be in the minority but I tend to think people here do a reasonable job of trying to make it fun despite *gestures around broadly*

Why doesn’t ICE go to the Red States?

My father, uncle, and father-in-law were US Marines who fought fascist overreach in the South Pacific in World War 2. I know if they were alive today, they would object to sending Marines to enable fascist overreach in Los Angeles by Trump, Miller, Hegseth, Noem, and Homan today. Semper Fi.

Preach Gavin 💥😡

#FreeGreta! "My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces or forces that support Israel." #gretathunberg #palestine #gaza

Hi, I’m God. How would Jesus feel about ICE? What would Jesus do? What would ICE do to Jesus?

Newsom is warned of ‘criminal tax evasion’ if he withholds federal taxes. California governor made threat amid reports Trump is weighing huge federal funding cuts targeting state. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The fact that none of Ivanas kids care that her grave is overgrown is telling. Greedy little pigs she birthed!

Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, this guy, and fuck ICE. They aren't worried about treating immigrants like real people with real families. Well, turnabout is fair play.

I agree with Gov Gavin Newsom that Trump’s take over of the CA National Guard is purposefully inflammatory. I also note this federalization is being done under 10 U.S.C. § 12406, which means the Guard troops will still be subject to the prohibitions in the Posse Comitatus Act.

Did I hear someone say that a cat would never go down a slide for fun? Surprise!

“Parents in Gaza Are Running Out of Ways to Feed Their Children: ‘All We Want Is a Loaf of Bread’” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/w...

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.
