What an absolute moron 😤
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
2. I created this list and it's been viral. Some actions that are not protesting or voting. There's something for everyone on the list. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Virginia Giuffre’s family denounces “DAG Todd Blanche’s bizarre interview” of Ghislaine Maxwell in a statement. www.allrisenews.com/p/maxwell-tr...
This is how you stand up to authoritarianism - by fighting for the targeted people, not by throwing them overboard.
May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
If you know of similar cases where ICE has used data about remittances to track folks down for deportation, I'm still digging! My Signal: shawnmusgrave.82
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.
Oak Flat is a sacred site to nine Indigenous tribes including the San Carlos and Mescalero Apache Nations. The Trump Admin wants to hand it over to a major foreign-owned mining company that would destroy it forever. Stand with our Indigenous nations and say NO. #SaveOakFlat
EX AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA MCFAUL: “Putin doesn't look at all of this stuff as a sign of strength. He looks at it as a sign of weakness. He had to do absolutely nothing to get this meeting. Putin has gained everything and given nothing in return.”

I don't understand what's wrong with having big ideas that might not be able to be put into practice immediately, but give us something to aspire to. Big ideas expand the tent, they don't collapse it. Am I crazy? Maybe I'm crazy.
Patty Berne, one of the primary architects of Disability Justice, died earlier this year. Despite Berne’s enormous impact, there have been very few obituaries. So I wrote one. #PattyPresente
Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.
Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

Now that Trump and Vance’s “Big Beautiful Bill” has passed, here’s how it is impacting your wallet. op: vincentchanco vis IG

I am baffled by the Washington Post's sanitized framing of this story. The Supreme Court is clearly going to "rule on the law" -- that is what courts do! The news is that SCOTUS signaled that it might gut the VRA entirely. Compare WaPo and Democracy Docket's headlines. Which source do you trust?
I found this out whenever I was trying to get a doctor's note for work - they wouldn't email it to me. Rather, they said I had to come pick it up or they would fax it to me! Never heard of such a thing...
A name that doesn’t appear in a report requires no redaction.
Trump’s authoritarian regime is propped up by key pillars of support. We can crack those pillars by refusing to cooperate or comply with requests, demands or orders. Watch the full training: youtube.com/live/yqhFZjH... Join the campaign to train a million Americans: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...
Centrist Democrats are now scrambling to act as if they've always been against Israel's genocide in Gaza, despite several of them recently posing for a photo with Benjamin Netanyahu. Zeteo's Frank Cappello returns as our (fake) centrist Democrat to imagine the deflections they would use.
The mass starvation, killing of families and children, intentional withholding of humanitarian aid, and open threats of annexation in Gaza are not only a blatant violation of international law and human rights, but a shock to the moral conscience. The US has a responsibility to stand against this.
Federal pandemic relief money supercharged summer learning. When that funding expired, Philadelphia found a way to keep its program going. It's an investment that's all about making learning fun.
See the shock on my face 😶👈🏻
My wife has as well and strongly believes in the Housing First model. She tried to get a low-barrier shelter established, plus supportive housing. It was killed by the NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard) in our "progressive" city. Infuriating 😡
In March, I sent a letter supporting Vaughn College's application for the AT-CTI, a program that expands air traffic controller training and makes our skies safer. Today, Rep. Tom Suozzi and I celebrated Vaughn's entry into this program and all the jobs and opportunities it will bring New Yorkers.
We can’t arrest our way out of homelessness.
I don’t know why the rest of us bother to write jokes
Kind of reminds me of the virulently anti-LGBTQ folks getting caught having homosexual affairs.... 🤔
The Trump administration deserves no credit for just barely averting a crisis they themselves set in motion. You don’t thank a burglar for returning your cash after you’ve spent a month figuring out if you’d have to sell your house to make up the difference.

“Health is wealth” is a popular saying among MAHA influencers. But the reality in the US, especially after the Trump administration's devastating cuts, is the inverse: Wealth is health. “They’re moving us back almost into the Dark Ages."
Noooooooooo 😥

Everyone, become paying contributors, if you already are like me, kick the amount up if you can afford it.

In a canine-crazed city like Asheville, the city’s two public dog parks have been sorely missed since Hurricane Helene wiped them out last year. The city hopes to help fill that gap with Riverbend Dog Park, a pop-up site that held its grand opening this week. www.bpr.org/bpr-news/202...
The Democratic Party’s capitulation to the Crypto lobby is one of the most nakedly corrupt things I’ve seen in my life. Crypto is a blatant scam with zero value that is designed to end popular control of our currency. Dems just co-signed the next global financial crisis. It’s unforgivable.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
@andreagibson.bsky.social I am so grateful to you for sharing your light in this world. Thank you 🕯️
What a collosal 🍆🤬
USW VP: The agency that so many veterans around this country rely on—for physical and mental healthcare, for screenings for toxic exposure, for financial support in times of crisis—has been weakened because of these cuts and can’t serve you, who served us and this nation, in your time of need.
JD Vance is also a 15 year project of Peter Thiel’s and the tech right.

Everyone awkwardly getting of Twitter now— Leave Substack and their N*zi coddling, Elon praising asses TODAY. Please? Read the whole thread before responding.
This stuff is utterly unacceptable and I hope litigation is being planned. We won a lawsuit against the Tucson Sector Border Patrol for similar unconstitutional conditions of confinement.
This is a “laugh so you don’t cry” moment.
Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane. This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.

Reading the updates on these exchanges makes me feel like I should have a bowl of popcorn.. and cry into it. How pitiful.

That must be tough 😕
I've loved looking for these since I was a kid. 🦈
Sandy Hook parent says tragedies are inherently political: “You may not believe in climate change, but insurance companies absolutely do.”
Mexico sent more than thoughts and prayers.
I cannot fathom the mental gymnastics that Trump loyalists do to convince themselves that he is doing a great job and steering this country in a positive direction.
You’ve probably heard about the free app, ICEblock. The developer, Joshua Aaron, saw the need &, BOOM! Pam Bondi has her panties in a twist over it. “We are looking at him…& he better watch out.” This #CupOfJoe goes to Joshua, for his innovative, helpful app. Download it at your App Store now!
This is great news😃

If you care about clean water, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, or Indigenous land rights, this executive order should be a major concern. It reframes our shared natural heritage as little more than a commercial asset, and that’s a dangerous precedent!
"The Nazis... imagined their targets would self-deport. Once the myth of self-deportation collapsed, they turned to more punitive measures. On Tuesday, Noem similarly noted the Everglades camp was meant to frighten immigrants into self-deporting. 'If you don’t,' she said, 'you may end up here.'"
Louisiana has two problems: an eroding coastline and limited glass recycling. Engineer Franziska Trautmann is solving both by turning bottles into beach sand.
No rational person who cared about Americans as a whole could possibly think we need to give the super-rich a giant bucket of money. What problem are Republicans solving? The no-7th-yacht problem?

The hypocrisy is still breathtaking
This video from @hankgreen.bsky.social is a great metaphor and description of what I think has happened to the Internet, and our overall "consumption" of information, no matter how nutritious or empty the calories of information we consume are. youtu.be/9euKCrTyMEc?...
The Supreme Court is about to go on an extended summer vacation, after having blown up the docket of every single lower court judge who has been working like a dog to deal with the firehose of illegal orders coming out of this administration.
MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF
😂😂😂
Trump has gutted FOIA, Inspectors General, and will be curtailing sharing information with Congress. We rely on whistleblowers now more than ever. You can support them by donating: whistlebloweraid.org/beans
I really really really encourage you to read (or listen to) the whistleblower letter about Bove's actions in the Alien Enemies Act Case, the Abrego case, and the South Sudan/Djibouti case. Andy McCabe and I have just released the audio version, for free, here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

A group in San Diego is patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed. boltsmag.org/how-vol...

This is bonkers. The Senate is trying to sell off 3.3 MILLION acres of public land to raise money. This land is your land, as the song says. If you want to keep it that way, call your Senator and raise Holy hell. www.newsweek.com/map-federal-...

One of the biggest problems with the world is that fools are always so sure and certain about everything and intelligent people are so full of doubts and uncertainties.
This was never about science or proper medical care. Here's a list of major medical authorities supporting gender-affirming care for trans youth: (thread)
Hey cis folks, now is a good time to look up these non-profits and resource centers and think about how you can help!

June 17: Brad Lander Lander—one of the major candidates in New York’s Democratic primary for mayor and the city’s current comptroller—was detained by law enforcement officials while attempting to escort a man out of an immigration court building.
