Trump says you peasants are spending too much time at home with your families

Things are pretty fucked up if a mom‘s two sons — both members of the National Guard — had to accompany her to her immigration hearing to make sure she wouldn’t be detained by ICE.

My can’t decide if I’m 15 or 50 so it’s giving me the worst of both. #perimenopause

Wow, I didn't know Wonder Woman is real and fighting for America, with her invisible plane

This is as big a lie as anything the Bush folks said in 2003. Demonstrably false.

Sounds like my contractor.

Today we honor Juneteenth, a reminder that freedom was fought for, not given. We must honor the past by continuing to fight every day for justice, truth, and equality.

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine. It's the same court and lawyers.

MSNBC dug up the clip of former Trump Sec Def Mark Esper saying that Trump asked him in 2020 to shoot protesters -- an order Pete Hegseth wouldn't rule out following if Trump asked him to do it today

Work reporting requirements are nothing more than a smokescreen meant to kick people off of health care and put even more red tape between you and your coverage.

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

Are we just supposed to pretend it’s a coincidence that Trump is going to war with Iran after making millions off the Gulf States that desperately want the U.S. at war with Iran?

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Perimenopausal and assuming I'm losing my eyesight next until I realized my laptop brightness was on its next to lowest setting. In other news my teen just asked "are we getting nuked tonight?" I said I'm Gen X and we're probably the most prepared if we are. Y'all hanging in there?

Gilead is jumping the gun on its signage, but it's here.

That’s exactly what this is about. Distraction. For all of this and that lame duck, low energy spectacle

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

The Trump grift goes on What better way to corner the US market for cellphones than to impose massive tarrifs on your competitors-trying to render them unaffordable-before announcing your own product Of course, claims that this phone is being made in America appears to be a lie Shocking, I know

Hoping Kristi Noem’s allergic reaction was to a dog. #JusticeForCricket

Reminder: Elon Musk and DOGE ILLEGALLY stole $80 MILLION from New York City taxpayers on the basis of a LIE about them using it to protect immigrants. Brad Lander, the comptroller, has been speaking out since. Today:

been rereading Paxton's Anatomy of Fascism and this would fit in well with early 20s Italy www.amny.com/news/brad-la...

Padilla: The President, VP, and their allies have continued to call all the protesters out there insurrectionists. Yes, this is the same man who provoked an actual insurrection at our capitol on January 6.

Appalling

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.

On @cnn.com with Jessica Dean discussing latest from Israel/Iran - and the upcoming G-7 summit youtu.be/4JK3ejmJBMo

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
