It absolutely is! Starting with reversing Citizens United decision.

Words are hard to express the loss.

Thank you for your attention to this matter! #NoKings

Wow, look at all the tremendous support for Trump’s fascism fest. Meanwhile, the streets are flooded with people saying “no thanks, we’ve seen this movie before.” Spoiler: it ends with indictments. #NoKings #TrumpBirthdayFlop #BiggestCrowdInHistory 🙄🎈

The voices and words are powerful - as well as the feelings elicited. (I don't know who the artist is). www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpiK... www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDCM...

I love this Native woman’s spunk! However this should NEVER have happened.

Fog of war is a real problem early in an investigation. It’s important to wait for info to surface. But, there are echoes here of the Birmingham abortion clinic bombing in 1998, where Eric Rudolph, a Christian Nationalist, killed a police officer & injured a nurse. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Such a sad start to this day.

Los Angeles. Just wow.

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

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

It is time to stop. Did the Trump people really vote for this?

"It's all BS coming from Trump." Sen. Alex Padilla gets emotional talking to @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social about the treatment of immigrants from the Trump admin. hours after being forcibly removed from a DHS press conference. Watch the FULL interview on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1Gd...

This is a sitting Senator. I've never seen a Senator manhandled in this way. He's just asking a question. This feels extremely Schutzstaffel to me. This is they do when they don't want to be questioned. WHAT THE FUCK. HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Governor Newsom showed us how you take on a wannabe dictator: head-on. Trump can jail dissenters, but he'll never silence America’s voice. We surrender that to no one.

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

Looks like some good is happening. Thank you Omaha.

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

Seriously?

Think about it

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

The life-saving COVID vaccine was developed because of federal research investments at a Mass-based company. Disbanding HHS’s COVID advisory panel and targeting Moderna is yet another baseless attack on Massachusetts and example of RFK Jr’s incompetence. Vaccines work. RFK Jr should resign.

Remarkable

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Please subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

My latest in Joy’s House: I’m in L.A. So I can tell you firsthand that the only crises here are ICE, Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, the Fox weekend guy that’s running the Pentagon, and Donald Trump. open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

They stop at nothing

ICE descended upon immigrant communities in LA, targeting innocent people just trying to live their lives, and when ICE was met with fierce opposition Trump deployed the National Guard. This is not “going after criminals,” it’s a scary escalation meant to sow even more fear and division.

What’s new it’s always lies

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

Exactly

Vice President Harris says "deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos." "This Administration's actions are not about public safety — they're about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process."
