Mahmoud Khalil has returned to NYC and finally reunited with his family.

Incredible stuff www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Our 1787 Constitution became law 237 yrs ago today when NH ratified it June 21, 1788, because Article VII made that new Constitution binding in all 13 states once the 9th ratified it, superseding Article XIII of the Articles of Confederation, which had impossibly required unanimity for every change.

If this is going to cost USPS trillions, why does the GOP say it will save money? Bec USPS’s budget is separate from the federal budget. So this would deprive USPS of vehicles it desperately needs *while* passing costs from taxpayers on to postal rate payers. Postal rate payers = mostly everyone

Breaking News: U.S. B-2 bombers appear to be heading west across the Pacific as President Trump considers joining Israel’s strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Follow live updates.

👑 Imagine if we had more of this, from more of them.

The team at @immdef.bsky.social is currently working on dozens of cases of people picked up in the last 24 hours in LA. Among them is Javier, who has cancer & will miss his chemo tomorrow if ICE continues to detain him. He has lived in LA for more than 20 years and has no criminal history.

"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

Folks just couldn’t vote for Harris-Walz…and here we are …. are we great yet?

"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...

we’re not warning you to go viral. we’re warning you because there won’t be anything left. trump has the nuclear codes. fordow survived bunker busters. israel wants to go deeper. russia, china, pakistan watching. this is a countdown. vaporized. gone. no protests. no retweets. no history books.

Trump is mad at Biden for reappointing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who Trump nominated.

Don't let them distract you. Republicans are trying to sell off millions of acres of your public lands to billionaire developers — all as they take away your benefits. Now is the time to make some noise.

Blessed to join Mayor Gorton, Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social, and community leaders to honor Juneteenth by unveiling Lexington’s newest monument. “Towards Freedom” honors Lewis and Harriet Hayden—abolitionists, born into slavery in Lexington, who escaped and helped thousands achieve their freedom.

You kidnap mothers on the street and leave their young children alone and crying. You think this is funny. God wants to know, how dare you call yourselves Christians?

"Wearing their Illinois National Guard uniforms, Axel and Andres Reyes arrived with their mother at the immigration office Tuesday morning. "The men, 19 and 24, watched their mother, who has been in the U.S. for more than 24 years, enter the office..." chicago.suntimes.com/politics/202...

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.

This critical ruling confirms that science must be guided by evidence, not ideology.

These innocent people are being hunted like animals. ICE is the greatest threat to the United States that we have ever faced on our soil. This country is under the control of an autocratic regime. 🎯Demand a hearing - sanctioned or not - from your representatives, while we have them. 202-224-3121

Holy crap! Why would they remove sign language interpreters!

Congress members have a legal right to conduct oversight at ICE facilities. This is the regime hiding its blatant abuses.

The active duty soldier who was placed in on an involuntary mental health hold after speaking out about ICE abuses has been released. He was given no treatment nor diagnosis and no reason for the hold.

I recommend clicking through for the video of the mayor having a strange sing-song meltdown before directing his guards to bar a reporter from all his future press conferences, for the crime of asking a question. hellgatenyc.com/adams-bans-d...

Schrödinger's felony.

Hard to argue with that.

"Several dozen people form a human barrier around migrants and escort them to and from immigration proceedings" would be a good thing to organize

Three of the new members HHS Sec. RFK Jr. appointed to a federal vaccine panel have promoted misinformation about vaccines and public health.

An active duty service member has been sent to a mental health facility against his will after speaking out about ICE’s legal and humanitarian abuses. TikTokers took action, including writing @governor.ca.gov /

Arresting a public official for asking questions is dangerous intimidation and sends an unmistakably authoritarian message – that ICE doesn’t care about the rule of law, and that anyone exercising their right to challenge ICE and speak up for immigrants will be punished.

Per @levernews — Dem strategists messaged on Signal about backing Trump & @SenatorHagerty’s crypto bill despite admitting it supercharges Trump’s corruption. Why? Crypto campaign donors. (The list of 18 Dems who voted yes is below 👇🏽) www.levernews.com/dems-crypto-...

"Maybe you should have marched better in Dear Leader's birthday parade. Kidding! We would have deported her anyway. We don't care about you people."

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

One thing I did notice about that parade that was "supposed" to honor the 250th anniversary of the army was no mention of the WAAC or the WAC. I guess we are to be erased from their "manly" version of history?

CNN: “Will you call Gov. Walz?” TRUMP: “He’s so whacked out. I’m not calling. Why would I call? He’s a mess. Why waste time?” What a lovely example for our children.

Driving in Ohio is wild because it’s literally like: corn city with copycat name, pronounced incorrectly horses soy fake abortion clinic real abortion clinic hell is real more corn

Multiple people were told to come in for a check-in appointment at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview over Father’s Day weekend. Most left wearing ankle monitors.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below
