United Farm Workers ( @ufw.bsky.social) is calling “bullshit” on Trump’s reported pause on abducting farm workers: “We experienced such a sweep in Moorpark, CA today — after this ‘guidance’ reportedly went out.” ufw.org/ufw-calls-bu... #WeFeedYou

And Rufo saying *THIS WEEK* that they needed to use unmarked vans to take progressive leaders off the streets normalizes the violent unaccountability. This is exactly what he’s been trying to incite.

people are going to dunk on Walz for this but what's he supposed to do go if you want but what else is the governor supposed to say here

It's hard to understate how important Representative & former Speaker Hortman was to Minnesota politics - she was probably the most prominent woman politician & integral to the recent budget deal. She was also incredibly kind and a real person - Kiernan sold her girl scout cookies. It's horrifying.

Despite Texas' tough talk on immigration, its lawmakers have refused to mandate that private businesses check employment authorization. Why? Because they know “if you got serious about applying [E-Verify], you would create even worse problems” with labor shortages, a former GOP state lawmaker said.

After targeted shooting of two state representatives overnight, Indivisible Twin Cities says #NoKings rally will still go on today: “In the face of this horror, we will mourn and mark our determination for a peaceful, just, democratic future”

I also realized that ICE are just pure uncut Slave Patrols. Snatching people off the street who then go work in private prisons for a dollar a day.

On top of shutting the fuck up tomorrow, do not engage any nazis or far right shit heads who try to start fights. They want to go viral. They want a confrontation. It's been in their playbook dating back to the 60s. Not letting them goad you into conflict is best.

not just the headline, NOWHERE in the story does it say they were Democrats. What the ACTUAL FUCK, @cnn.com

well at least Dave Weigel thought the ironic MAGA hats at the wedding were funny

Which centrist columnists will publish the first “both sides need to tone down the rhetoric or more Democratic leaders will be shot” opinion piece?

Streaming Sinners for the first time since watching it and appreciating so many of the little flourishes this time around (Delroy Lindo telling Sammie he'll "cut your ass too thin to fry")

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

This is the last post that Representative Hortman made before she was assassinated.

“uniquely depraved,” as we tried to frame it at the time. A savage opening tone setter for policies and actions and philosophy during the very first opening moments of this Trump administration, and things only have grown worse www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

ditto this state. Enough is enough

When Stephen Miller gave the orders to ICE to conceal identity, Miller helped get these elected officials shot. He’s complicit in these attacks. Impeach, remove, prosecute, imprison.

“No Kings Day is about standing up for our democracy. Standing up for our rights, our liberties and making sure that we are sending a strong message that we are going to have a free and fair democracy,” Deirdre Schifeling, the ACLU’s chief political and advocacy officer, told Democracy Docket.

Chicago congresswoman @repdeliaramirez hands Kristi Noem a letter of resignation and encourages her to use it 👀

I can only imagine the outrage if a Democratic administration went through with the spectacle of a Presidential Birthday Parade after politicians had been assassinated that very morning.

Chris Cizzilla: yes one side assassinated opponents to flip political control of a state but the other side got assassinated so everyone is at fault here

Two important things to note: 1) the most significant violence we’ve seen this year was not against ICE or Trump or members of his administration, but against Democrats 2) when ICE scoffs at people asking for warrants or for identification, THIS IS WHY THEY ASK www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

you ever think about how in 2009 DHS released a report about the growing threat of violent domestic terrorism from the right and then Republicans got so mad about it the DHS secretary resigned?

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.

Hey man, is that America Rock? Well turn it up, man! https://youtu.be/3R1tZ6l876Q?si=uKkPUnZn0zERqG19

i must reiterate that doing this is pointless at best and will get you arrested at worst. keep those opinions to non-recordable environments

Goddamn it, this f––ing sucks. Condolences to their families and loved ones. Hope the assassin is brought to justice stat.

Monsters are in charge of the federal government. We must defeat them. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

#nokings #fiftyfiftyone #protest #tallahassee #florida 50501 Florida is turning out for the No Kings protest. Get loud. Stay safe.

I’m a broken record on this but the media and messaging environment won’t improve until media outlets unhook themselves from the fascism machine.

Understanding these "six truths" - it's real, it's us, experts agree, it's bad, others care, and there's hope - predicts pro-climate attitudes and support for climate policies, @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social finds. In particular, (see next post) ...

Since Inauguration Day: inflation and unemployment are basically unchanged; the government is operating demonstrably worse but running the same deficits; the world is far deeper into war and genocide. Trump is weak, let’s hope he chickens out

Because I am so committed to liberating LA County, I have no choice but to go to every plastic surgeon, botox studio, and tanning salon in Beverly Hills, looking for immigrants and socialists. by Kristi Noem

In today’s Letter, @hcrichardson.bsky.social describes how ordinary people stood against one of the most powerful Empires in history. Stand up! Rise up! Together we do this. #nokings #nokingsday

Showing up really matters—in life overall, and in civic life. Find a way to show up today. www.nokings.org (Just back in DC, see this is the one place they're recommending people *not* show up for Tiananmen-on-the-Mall main gathering but go someplace else www.nokings.org/district )

Faster isn't better. We want journalists to do good, careful work. Especially today.

That's almost 1.5% of the population ON THE STREETS today. *Generally* speaking, 3.5% getting actively engaged is a tipping point for regime change. Keep building. www.bbc.com/future/artic... (1/2)
