Boelter wasn’t just a political assassin; he was a Christian assassin, person deeply connected to one of America’s most radical religious movements. He attended college at Christ for the Nations. A founder was extremist Pentecostal pastor named James Gordon Lindsay www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/o...

2,000 more. He’s just gonna keep adding them to California. And to other states. And to new states. Whether the courts try to stop him or not. He’s also sent active duty troops to Louisiana, Texas and Florida in the last week. www.cbsnews.com/news/2000-na...

Republicans are attempting to ram through a provision to sell millions in acres in CA, including land around Yosemite, Mt. Shasta, Lake Tahoe & Big Sur, as part of their big ugly bill. Our federal public treasures shouldn't be sold off to the highest bidder. I will fight this, tooth & nail.

It's 2003 all over again. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/mar...

Gov. Kathy Hochul on NYC Comptroller Brad Lander’s arrest: “It’s bullshit.”

Senator Mike Lee posts prayers when a Republican has an allergic reaction but posts jokes when a Democrat is murdered in their home. He’s going to Hell.

#ProudBlue He has truly lost his mind. “Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Wtf?!?! This man is NOT well. Not at all.

The biggest threat to Iran, Israel and America today is a megalomaniac felon who is at war with everyone in any country who disagrees with him. ☢️

FLASHBACK: Trump called out Bush’s (and Bibi’s) lies about WMD’s, propelling his campaign at the time — maybe someone should show him these clips?

Carney sure knows how to piss Trump off. Trump does not deserve a seat at the same table as Zelensky. Trump is a coward and a bully who totally disrespected Zelensky at the White House This is a table of real leaders. A club Trump will never be in. #ProudBlue

Republicans don't GAF if we live or die. Prove me wrong. The Senate wants to cut Medicaid even more, while the House budget screws over the lowest income Americans. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

I'm a human rights lawyer. I have represented immigrants & asylum seekers my entire career. As you see ICE increase its attacks on immigrants, here are steps you as a US citizen can take to be an ally & protect immigrants from ICE and CBP absue.

UPDATE — At least *32* members of Congress have now signed on to efforts against the Trump-Vance administration's moves towards war on Iran. A new Economist/YouGov poll shows Americans strongly disapprove of US involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran: 16-60

If y’all were still wondering why Black Folks (especially BW) are side eyeing these protests… 🗣️WTF good is marching if you can’t be bothered to vote? This isn’t fucking rocket science. The only thing that counts is your vote.

If war with Iran ignites, expect the U.S. to roll out sweeping surveillance, draft whispers, and resource rationing. Freedoms could shrink under the guise of security, while dissent gets branded as betrayal. #3E

Helicopters. Armed troops wearing masks. All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests. DHS and ICE are out of control. ktla.com/news/local-n...

If you’re panicking a city of 9 million one night and going on about magnificent poles the next, the cheese is well off the cracker.

After not being invited to speak at the NAACP conference, Zrump expressed his remorse, sadness and disappointment by ordering the MLK Jr. bust removed from the White House. Such a gracious gesture. I think next he and Stevie Miller are going to start requiring Klan hoods as the WH dress code.

No one is safe unless all of us are.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

On a sunny April afternoon in Seattle, about 40 people, gathered at a beer-and-pizza joint to do something unusual: listen to a company’s earnings call. They were there to take on Elon Musk. They cheered and booed under a disco ball. A local TV crew showed up. The vibe was giddy.

𝗪𝗧𝗙!? Trump just ordered ICE to ramp up mass deportations — not quietly or strategically, but specifically in 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰-𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 like LA, NYC, and Chicago, from 650 arrests a day to 3,000. This isn’t about keeping our communities safe — it’s political revenge. 1/4 apnews.com/article/trum...

ICYMI @motherjones.com: 6 LA-area domestic violence service providers tell me ICE's presence, & new Trump admin guidance allowing them to raid DV shelters, are creating a chilling effect for their staff & survivors. "DV programs...should be safe sanctuaries, & we can’t even guarantee that anymore."

🇯🇵 yet again illustrating how claims that 🇺🇸's debt is "unsustainable" are grounded entirely in politics, not actual economics bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Since the Trump administration restarted collections on defaulted student loans, millions of borrowers could now face challenges to buying a house or getting a job.

Thousands of protesters filled the street near City Hall and spilled into the park behind the Bellingham downtown library branch Saturday, joining millions of people nationwide in the 'No Kings Day' protest.

President Trump held a military parade in Washington on the same day that hundreds of protests against him took place across the U.S., in what amounted to a split-screen show of force.

Members of Donald Trump’s administration such as Tulsi Gabbard are useful idiots for the Kremlin

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, we gain solidarity.  As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous — and we weaken Trump and his regime.  Today's protests are about standing up to Trump, but they're also about standing with each other.  Be safe. Be peaceful. Be strong.

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.
