If only we had warned folks before the election that the real plan wasn’t border security…it was mass deportation in the interior, federalizing the National Guard, ripping people out of homes, families, jobs, and schools. Oh wait…we did. This segment with the author of 2025 aired one year ago.

Look, I’m not particularly a Harvard booster, but this is the start of a damn cure for type one diabetes. This is the kind of research Trump has killed. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/h...

😕 🇺🇸

How much you wanna bet that some of these masked “agents” were among the pardoned? I’m going with “highly likely.”

Probably sold it to Putin

We’re #1!!!

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

Please call your senators about this. This is not a reversible policy. Once they sell off these lands, they're gone for good.

This would be why the Senate has the power to advise & consent on presidential nominations www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

#GVerse #PayAttention - If you are concerned that you may be illegally abducted and then tortured in a prison in El Salvador… DO NOT attend the FIFA World Cup.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Six former CDC vaccine chairs are sounding the alarm—and we better listen. The U.S. is on the brink of losing access to life-saving immunizations. When science is attacked and trust is eroded, lives will be lost. This is not a drill. This is a national emergency.

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it?? Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙

Nailed it

"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...” www.bet.com/article/6rdn...

Trump: "They should give me the Nobel Prize for Rwanda and if you look, the Congo, or you could say Serbia, Kosovo, you could say a lot of them. The big one is India and Pakistan. I should've gotten it four or five times."

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that private equity companies have gotten involved in the daycare business and now we have people calling it socialist daycare if there's any government funding for it.

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego: “We need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.” The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today. More of this resistance nationwide! 👏 (🎥 PSL San Diego)

An ICE officer said, "I don't need a warrant." Things are escalating. We may end up striking simply because we all fear going out. Soon, they will get anyone off the streets for "harboring" people. The ones they released didn't get their phones back. Glendale, CA.

Concerning…

We’re being ruled by a president who openly admits he doesn’t like to read. He prefers bullet points over self-reflection or real analysis. A man unwilling to engage with the complexity of consequences is making decisions that will shape and damage our future for decades.

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

💯👏👏

I am sharing this rant that the great @heatherthomasaf.bsky.social posted elsewhere, as it should be read far and wide:

We are governed by a needy narcissistic man-child and if you’re a supporter or admirer of his, I pity you.

Q: Your intelligence community says they have no evidence that Iran is building a nuke TRUMP: Then my intelligence community is wrong. Who said that? Q: You director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard TRUMP: She's wrong

"Texas has been violating federal law for decades by sequestering individuals with severe disabilities in poorly run nursing homes without offering them alternative living options and services in the community, a federal judge has ruled." Sounds like Texas.🤷‍♀️ www.rawstory.com/texas-nursin...

😭

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

Working seven days a week without overtime is what I voted for. Thank you Mr. President

SAY IT PLAIN: Federal “ICE officers” should not be anonymous. And this shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

Congress has the sole power to declare war – full stop. The idea that the US would potentially deploy a bunker buster bomb in Iran w/out Congressional approval not only flies in the face of our Constitution, it would also rope us into another forever war that Americans do not want.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

In places throughout the U.S. where plastic bags require a fee or have been banned, fewer bags end up at the water’s edge, according to research published Thursday in Science.

"We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief. Nor will we ever. Church and State are, and must remain, separate." --President Ronald Reagan, whom I usually never quote

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today that the organization will donate $1 million to immigrant families impacted by recent raids.

Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

She’s terrific. Well deserved recognition!

I love this. You’ll probably love it too. These J6 bounty hunter punks cosplaying as ICE agents think they have the upperhand everywhere. Drunk on power, but nope. They’re cowards.
