Just in time for the Supreme Court decision There is something deeply and irredeemably wrong with people who are excited to ensure more kids die. Demonizing, targeting, and taking essential services away from kids is definitionally evil.

Ahmed Muhammad, 18, made history as the first Black male valedictorian at Oakland Technical High School, graduating with a 4.73 GPA. He was accepted to all 11 colleges he applied to, and he will attend Stanford University.

Here you have it👍🏻 Props to Durbin, he NAILED it‼️👍🏻👇🏼 WATCH‼️👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👍🏻

I’ll share this every single day like Morgan shows the J6 insurrection video. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

BREAKING: The White House sent emails (seen below) to multiple influencers and Republican politicians to provide them with talking points to justify US intervention in Iran. They are trying to brainwash us and rationalize war.

The pardons he sold took money from the victims — from their pockets (and ours) right into his.

Three things @rasjbaraka.bsky.social and @bradlander.bsky.social have in common: 1) Both are suing Kristi Noem 2) Her goons conducted premeditated arrest of them 3) Before an election www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/18/r...

FIRST ON MSNBC: "What authoritarians are good at is giving you someone to blame." NYC Comptroller Brad Lander speaks with @chrislhayes.bsky.social after his arrest, where Lander and his wife said they were serving as advocates for defendants in immigration court.

Mike Lee asks for prayers for Kristi Noem. Not so, when tweeting on the murders of Melissa Hortman and her husband. It’s deeply troubling when political leaders use real loss as fodder for divisive rhetoric. Senator Lee’s tweets crossed the line from criticism to disrespect and abject cruelty.

I am seldom at a loss for words, but the juxtaposition of Mike Lee mocking the murders and attempted murders of the Hortmans and the Hoffmans, then asking for prayers for Kristi Noem is breathtaking and defies description in any language.

I support Terry Moran not ABC I support Scott Pelley not CBS I support Joy Reid not MSNBC I support Jim Acosta not CNN I support independent media not GOP-owned Corporate Media I support Ann Telnaes not the Washington Post I support Paul Krugman not the NYT #SupportIndependentMedia

What was Terry Moran Thinking? He was thinking since the New York Times is too busy sanewashing Trump and too afraid to print the truth that SOMEBODY should do it. F**k that supermarket checkout aisle crossword puzzle book that pretends to be a newspaper.

Really striking that, five years later, Mike Lindell is facing some accountability for his 2020 lies — and meanwhile other Trump allies are ginning up the 239,000th bullshit claim about that election.

The tragedy in Minnesota today is a prime example of the radicalization of politics in this country. The deaths of Rep. Hortman and her husband are heartbreaking and senseless. The violence against Democrats over the past week is vile. We need justice against these political attacks.

Okay this is absolutely horrifying - this young man posted a statement against everything going on with ICE, and now they’re threatening him with a psych hold

9/10 times when you see National Guard units deployed in country they have no magazine loaded into their rifles. They still appear as soldiers, they just have strict Rules of Engagement they follow. The Marines at the ICE protests are pointing/carrying loaded guns. And they didn't release any RoEs.

Gift article: this morning the Marines detained a Veteran who was trying to enter the VA building they have blocked patient access to all week. The administration is denying veterans access to healthcare for their political theater. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...

Here's NYTs lede for story describing the Marines detaining an American veteran. It doesn't even get the stated purpose for the deployment correct, which is to protect federal resources and law enforcement. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...

To those who still somehow say you’re overreacting to say we are far past the point of historic crisis, go back to summer 2024 and say that in less than a year the president of the United States would be deploying the literal Marines on American soil to deal with and intimidate his political enemies

In the last week, Marines were deployed in an American city, the president has called for a governor to be arrested & the speaker of the House has called for that gov to be tarred & feathered, a senator has been pinned and handcuffed, and two state legislators have been shot in their homes.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

ICE got fancy hotel in Pasadena (until protestors got them kicked out) ICE gets fancy pay and BBB wants to give them $40,000 bonuses. National Guard gets shit pay and to sleep on the floor. worth considering and discussing disparity in compensation and treatment of US Military versus ICE--

Egg sucking ABC network executives fired Terry Moran for daring to speak the Truth about Trump & Miller The kow towing cowardly network executives put $$$ above the protection of Freedom, Democracy, & Free Speech in the United States #Trump #TerryMoran www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Since ABC News fired Terry Moran, we are no longer watching GMA or World News Tonight. My niece is streaming The Cleveland Show instead

“[Stephen] Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He’s a world class hater,” ABC News correspondent Terry Moran tweeted early Sunday morning.” Good read on the terry moran issue from @nberlat.bsky.social: www.publicnotice.co/p/abc-terry-...

Breaking:   WASHINGTON (AP) - Health secretary removes every member of scientific committee that advises the CDC on how vaccines should be used.

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Assault on nonviolent citizens

"Mass deportation" is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism. As it was always intended to be.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

Project 2025 playbook—Trump wants to enact martial law. It’s a set up. If you protest, keep that in mind. DO NOT GIVE HIM AN EXCUSE! Share widely...

"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

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

It’s also 5 years ago dumbass.

My hunch is that, as we saw with Lafayette Park, National Guard troops are not going to be as compliant as this administration thinks. It’s one thing to unleash cops consumed by warrior cop culture on neighborhoods. Quite another to send reservists who are also accountants, barbers, and teachers.

Goldman: Both of the issues Marjorie Taylor Greene raised—were widely publicized and thoroughly debated in committee and on the House floor. If you’re publicly admitting that you didn’t know what you were voting on and now regret it—you’re not competent or qualified to serve in Congress.
