#ResistanceUnited #PrideBlue #DemVoice1 ☕Weekend Everyday issues abound, but 🙏think about academic freedom & American soft power. These new generations of global leaders will fight with you to restore a saner, fairer, freer, more compassionate society. x.com/allenanalysi...

Good news! Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦✌️

🚨BREAKING: Over 40 Russian Military planes were reportedly hit in a massive Ukrainian drone strike on four Russian strategic air bases. Slava Ukraini!🇺🇦

This is absolutely essential reading in case you’re wondering what the wholesale dismantling of civil service work has to do with you. data4democracy.substack.com/p/how-to-dis...

Trump: “Ukraine has no cards!” Ukraine <destroys 1/3rd of Russias bomber force> Trump: “”

The current order applies to: USDA, Commerce, Energy, HHS, HUD, DOI, DOL, DOS, Treasury, DOT, VA, OMB, OPM, DOGE, AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, EPA, GSA, NLRB, NSF, SBA, & SSA. 🥳

Trump’s mad rant unloads on Court-fixer Leonard Leo — has Trump FINALLY figured out that he was chumped big-time by Leo, McGahn, and the creepy billionaires (Koch) who REALLY controlled “his” judicial appointments? Slow learner.

Trump shrinkage.

IMPORTANT

Trump the Chump.

It’s starting to smell more and more like it’s DOGE itself that was the waste, fraud and abuse. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

No, no, no — you missed the story here. The Federalist Society is just wallpaper. The Koch political empire is the protagonist, and the likely deal is that in 2016 Kochs let up on Trump (whom they despised) to get to choose his SCOTUS nominees. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

San Diego erupts at ICE raiding a local restaurant and detaining ALL staff.

Who is bankrolling all of these pardons?

awful, tragic , unjust, unacceptable in a democracy.

FUCK THIS. The cruelty. The inhumanity. ENOUGH! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @whipkclark.bsky.social STOP THIS!!!!

awful, tragic , unjust, unacceptable in a democracy.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

Trump works for Putin, Everyone knows that. Trump will do anything to help his boss. Trump is NOT a free man.

Investigators believe the man may have been framed to get him arrested & deported before he could testify in a case where he was a victim of assault. The person who spoke to the AP did so on condition of anonymity, because they couldn't speak publicly. apnews.com/article/ice-...

The agent who handcuffed a congressional aide is William Krejci of Keasbey, New Jersey, DHS Area Commander. His social media is locked down pretty tight but a Yelp account tied to the same email address he used for LinkedIn shows a face and forearm tattoo that matches the video.

⚡️Explosions heard again in Kyiv. Multiple explosions were heard again in Kyiv around 2:15 a.m. local time, according to a Kyiv Independent journalist. Ukraine's Air Force has warned of approaching Russian drones towards the capital.

This is where part of the Resistance is.✌️🌠 Of course we can’t trust the Supreme Court. 6 judges are totally compromised. Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social !

This is so sad and unjust, a tragedy. They are all heroes for the free world. 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

A merciless world. Dr Hamdi al Najjar, husband of Dr Alaa al Najjar, succumbed to his critical wounds sustained from Israeli bombing of his house where they lost nine of his children

While Trump has seen some success in the Supreme Court, a recent study found that he lost a whopping 96% of his cases in lower federal courts, with judges across the political spectrum ruling against him. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE has been doing major operations in San Diego in recent days. A must-read dive, icymi, into some local residents who've been organizing there:

Generic criticisms won't bring change. We need to hold all nominees accountable and fight for progressive values! Silence is complicity. Let's mobilize! #blueresistance
