SCOTUS allows deportations to "third party countries" anntelnaes.substack.com/p/scotus-all...

Nothing says "flawless and effective" like misspelling "effective."

It's not a duty of journalists to repeat the claims of proven liars and pretend those claims are credible. That's the job of propagandists and enablers.

A new exhibition, "Fabric of a Nation: American Quilt Stories from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston," opens this week showcasing works spanning the 19th to 21st centuries. www.thisiscolossal.com/2025/06/fabr...

🔮🧙🏿‍♂️Years from now, some Dem will try to convince me how evil and islamaphobic the GOP is, and they'll use this upcoming NYC mayor election as proof I'll point out that in the primary, the progressive Muslim and Jewish candidates cross-endorsed each other♥️ but centrist Dems paid for islamaphobic ads🤡

The American Academy of Pediatricians bluntly telling us the current CDC can't be trusted, and of course they are absolutely correct publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

NYS Tenant Bloc out with a statement: “Tenants are the majority in New York. Zohran Mamdani understands that and he gave us something to vote for... Tonight’s results send a clear message to landlord-backed politicians like Andrew Cuomo: your time is over."

All the worst people are eating shit tonight and I just think thats really beautiful

"A Muslim socialist won the Democratic nomination to be mayor of New York City by going on a radio show with antifascist conservatives" I say as I step out of the time machine in 2003 and am immediately institutionalized

I’m looking forward to his big role in Mamdani city hall.

Whole lot o’Dem consultants got to buy more yachts, tho.

THIS PART

Trump spokesperson Maggie Haberman announces Trump's strategy If Republicans want to focus on the guy working to make life more affordable while they cut Medicaid and SNAP to give tax cuts to billionaires, ok But, she really knows they're going to be racist AF - and NYT will highlight that

This:

Brad Lander speaks: "Andrew Cuomo is in the past. He is not the present or future of New York City. Good fucking riddance"

White Americans but yeah.

Immigrant from Sierra Leone just said to me: I could be deported to Haiti. Where I know no one. #corruptcourt

Everyone in #complicitmedia got the memo. #NPR did its run-on-the-bank piece, too.

As if more evidence were needed that racism has corroded his brain.

One year ago this week, craaaaaaaazy, doddering old Joe Biden---clearly unfit for the presidency, right Jake Tapper?---was doing this. Thank god he quit after one term so we could turn the reins back over to Major Hochstetter and his goose-steppers...

Surely it means something substantive, though. You can’t just write “through the governor” on a scrap of paper and have cleared the hurdle.

Particularly great @hcrichardson.bsky.social time capsule on the reality shitshow prez trying to bluster his way around Iran with clowns to the left of him, jokers to the right. #notkeepingussafe heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-19-2025

This is a good idea. It all shouldn’t be that hard for Democrats. What’s stopping our “leaders”?

Disney will not protect them. They’ve got employees living in their cars in the Disney World parking lots.

Too bad there is no organized opposition party that could in one clear voice support the protesters.

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

Man, it's bad enough to watch your nation sinking into fascist dystopia but for THAT guy? the barely-sentient former game show host with the laughably stupid combover? Really, that's the dude for whom we're giving up democracy?

there's something happening here what it is, is pretty fuckin clear

The NYTimes has played and continues to play an essential role in facilitating fascism in America. Who forced them to legitimize and platform this craven, white-supremacist opportunist calling for massacres of US residents protesting against racist state violence? No one.

We were at the federal detention center in downtown LA. They deployed some type of chemical irritant that made people cough and we had to mask. The people here were mainly attorneys, family of those being detained, and two members of Congress. @NormaJTorres

Supreme Court rules that DOGE may have access to Social Security data!! Insanity!

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

These two psychos have access to all your personal data, by the way.

Republicans would lose their minds.🤯

Very good question.

Not sure I needed all this caffeine on a day like today, but this is a pretty great recipe: www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/espr...

Not everything is terrible

All normalized by #complicitmedia, which circled the wagons when the successful Black president said Fox was not real news.

Elon Musk has accused Donald Trump of being in the Epstein Files. Here’s the most important follow-up question: was Joe Biden too demented to release this information? Read my book to find out. Jake Tapper tomorrow in the NYT

Hope Kamala Harris is enjoying a big glass (or three) of Champagne today. Racists and misogynists did this to themselves.
