"They’re taking Shirly": An Army sergeant thought his family was safe. Then ICE deported his wife. [Published with our friends @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social]

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections. For my latest and to access all Democracy Docket premium content, sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

LEFT: The fake picture of the Department of Defense just posted. RIGHT: The reality. So now the military is not just arresting us on street corners illegally but spreading disinformation. And it's only Monday.

California responds: 🏄 🚲 🛹 🏄🏼‍♀️ ⛷️ 🥾 🏂 🚤 🏊‍♀️ 😎 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

Mike Lee is sick and depraved for making light of the murder of a Democratic lawmaker. He must resign or the Senate must expel him. It's that simple.

This image now seared into my brain

Restaurants in my city have closed indefinitely to protect their employees from the trauma of ICE.

sure, the world is going up in flames, there's unrest in the streets, and America has become a global punchline, but at least Trump voters made the handful of trans athletes in the country feel extra bad

I met with my congressman to warn him about this, and the Olympics. CA is set to lose a lot of money which I imagine is part of the point.

Genius 🙄

Trump looks completely confused at the electronic pad in front of him at the G7.😹😹😹 “It’s all computer..” so he’s opting for the paper version then he remembered he doesn’t like to read.

Well-placed duct tape might prevent future embarrassment from our Commander in Clowncar.

Juneteenth sponsors are pulling out, just like they did with Pride events. This sends a clear message that support for Black communities & LGBTQ people is conditional, transactional & expendable. This is more than backlash against (DEI) it's a stamp of approval on bigotry.

I’m old enough to remember the GOP outrage over the “Obama” phones, but not a single one of them will care about this not-made-in-America grift

Restaurants in my city have closed indefinitely to protect their employees from the trauma of ICE.

When Trump claims that leftists want "transgender for everybody," do his supporters ever stop and wonder what the hell he's talking about? When "everybody" changes genders in the coming leftist utopia, will it happen all at once? Will it be a paid holiday? Will wardrobes be exchanged?

Local businesses have closed temporarily to protect their employees, and rightfully so. FUCK ICE.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

It turns out that the very best No Kings Day protest yesterday was the one staged by the United States Armed Forces in Washington—because if you've seen any of the military experts on social media or cable news today you know that their poor marching was deliberate and intended as an insult to Trump

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

I have a terrible feeling the dangerous right’s response to today’s protests will be brutal. Sleep, hydrate, and brace. Moms got work.

Shots fired in SLC parade

"Alejandro Orellana—U.S. Marine vet, socialist, and community organizer—has been arrested by the FBI for distributing face shields to protesters in LA "His “crime”? Handing out protective gear. "The feds are now calling defensive equipment a “conspiracy to commit civil disorder.”

Putting a candle on my porch now for the people we lost in this nightmare. Will do every night until the orange felon is gone.

🚨 1/2 If you’re in downtown LA: LAPD has issued a dispersal order and is deploying tear gas & flash bangs. Protesters have been peaceful all day. Please stay safe, move away from danger, and look out for one another. Document everything if you can. We see you. We’ve got your back. #NoKings

My sign today. #NoKings

Special #NoKings protest shout out to the 94 year old woman with her walker & her nurse in Laguna Beach, CA. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

Laguna Beach, in Orange County, CA today. Overwhelming support. Laughter. Tears. Hugs. Veterans. Babies. Grannies. Teens. Dogs. #NoKings

Protests today in Laguna Beach! Huge turnout!

And here we are.

It isn’t lost on me that the suspect in the assassination of one of the most prominent women in Minnesota politics had a target list with abortion providers and advocates. Misogyny is deadly. My heart is with the victims, their families, and everyone affected.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.
