KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

CNN: Three sources tell CNN that according to an early U.S. Intelligence assessment, the U.S. Military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country's nuclear program and likely only set it back a few months

Does it surprise you that members of Congress are buying Palantir stock, the company that happens to be helping ICE with mass deportations? The latest Press Pass from @cheetah.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/stock-trad...

Thread by a blind guide dog user about the times she doesn't take her dog out due to heat or unsuitable environment or need to retain cane skills. The key thing is that it is the guide dog handler's choice about when to work with their dog and not external judgey people.

"The tone with which he dropped it reveals that he really might have thought he had something there. He thought he had his Nobel Prize and it's running into the reality of a centuries-old conflict." @timmiller.bsky.social and @samsteindc.bsky.social talk Trump's f-bomb:

MPs have called Labour's plan to proscribe Palestine Action as a terror group 'worrying' and 'non-proportional'

Sent 25 planes to detonate $6bn of bombs on a mountain in Iran that had been evacuated a week ago cos we told them thats what we were gonna do? Announced a ceasefire that wasn't a ceasefire? Begged the Chinese to keep open the Strait of Homoz but are still in a tariff war with em? Eggstroadinary!

🚨 Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say: CNN Exclusive 🔗 www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

That. Was. Ridiculous. 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

A rebel MP opposed to the welfare cuts tells me different ministers are ringing around the rebels to try to convince them to vote for the welfare bill The MP said: "They've moved to begging & flattery from threats, but they [the govt] are clear they're not moving on any of it."

"Maersk will cut ties with companies linked to illegal Israeli settlements on the occupied West Bank, the Danish shipping giant has said....Its shipments have come under scrutiny as part of an international campaign led by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM)" www.yahoo.com/news/shippin...

Leave it to Marjorie Taylor Greene to miss the point entirely. Is she really this dumb?

Tolkien’s palantir fell under the control of Sauron. Peter Thiel’s Palantir is falling under the control of Trump. How this story ends is up to all of us. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/palantir-the-worst-of-the-corporate

Oh give it a rest.

OMG!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Trump on women's rights: "Saudi Arabia's done a really good job."

The shameless nature of the charlatan Boris Johnson. Why was Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe in prison so long? Because Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary carried on like the blustering bullshit merchant he is who cares not one iota for detail, diplomacy or others.

💥Farage ‘Jason I’m sorry mate - this is all great fun - but I’ve never, ever been to the Russian Embassy.’ Jason “no leadership of UKIP, ever?…” Farage ‘Well I was the leader of it Jason, for most of that time, and the answer is a big no, and I’m going to have to move on!”💥

In London tonight. Giving evidence to British parliament Northern Ireland Committee in the morning on our research on preparation for referendums on a United Ireland. London looking great. Not so sure about Westminster’s statue to Oliver Cromwell however !

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

As Trump now seeks a new deal a reminder that the JCPOA was not perfect but it worked until he withdrew from it. We continue to be played by a charlatan.

@prairielights.bsky.social

You’d think someone might ask why distributing aid in Gaza has proceeded like the opening twenty minutes of Saving Private Ryan, every day, for weeks. Is it normal to fire machine guns at starving civilians trying to collect flour? Because we are currently at one, two or three massacres *per day*.

RFK JR: We have not cut any clinical trials on Alzheimer's BARRAGAN: There was 35 and you guys have already cut 13 of them because of the funding. This was congressionally approved dollars on a bipartisan basis.

Absolutely incredible.

Is there anyone in politics who sounds as unhealthy as RFK Jr?

Think we can get a good idea of how much trouble the government is in by just how many MPs say they are urgently emailing to try and get their names added to the amendment and how annoyed they are to have missed the first tranche…

Just as far-right forces crack down on civil society dealing with climate, a new study reveals that lobbyists from the top fossil-fuel industry organisations had over 1,000 meetings with MEPs within less than a year. Free to read: euobserver.com/rule-of-law/...

Wow. Labour minders pushing around young disabled women for speaking out. Booing disabled teens isn't a good look #Labour

Curse of private equity and the chase for corporate profits More pets being put down due to rising vet bill. Vets, managers incentivised to increase profits. Fees, insurance costs have rocketed. People deprived of company and love. Pets deprived of life. Capitalism devours, state silent.

Super article from @dalevince.com This is the time to end the absurd Drax power station which is UK's biggest carbon polluter - and Govt know it For more see my submission to the Subsidy Advice Unit - Drax should receive no more public money👉 scrapcc.org/BOSWELL-DRAX...

A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza. That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed. Genocide. medium.com/@m4xim1l1an/...

We are at the mercy of an idiot who goes by Fox news ratings and anything Netanyahu tells him over factual information. #trump www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump: "I'm not happy with Israel...We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing."

NEW: The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in an emergency meeting on Monday that the escalating conflict in Iran “risks collapsing the global nuclear non-proliferation regime,” and that if diplomacy is not pursued, “violence and destruction could reach unimaginable levels.”

Sen. Cassidy said that Kennedy made a number of commitments to the Senate nomination committee, which he's now breaking, including not changing the ACIP, a highly influential panel that makes vaccine recommendations & shapes the childhood vaccination schedule. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Springsteen, with the moral clarity that has always defined his voice, captures something essential about this moment: how one figure can poison the wellspring of a nation’s soul. His words carry the weight of decades chronicling the American experience, its promise and its betrayals.
