So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
Done with This Week With Martha Radditz. Awful!!

We won’t notice it at first Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths All because of two men Trump and RFK, Jr
It’s just being done to ‘own the libs’ like everything else MAGA does. They have no original ideas beyond that.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

Goose bumps ♥️
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
The authoritarian shit is bad on its own, but let's not lose sight of the fact that this Texas law enforcement officer couldn't keep up with a 61-year-old out for her morning walk. Like the Nazis, these people are evil and pathetic at the same time. Don't miss any chance to mock them as losers.
Violent crime is at a 30-year low in Washington, but that doesn’t stop Trump from lying he needs to take over the city because of all the violent crime. Meanwhile, expect his Republican accomplices to remain silent while he builds his police state. Each of them is accountable.

D.C. is a test. Trump will be doing this in other blue cities across the country.
Don’t forget to keep reposting Nickel!! He needs a hero! Transport/vet/food taken care of for East Coast fosters! He just needs a hero!! Dm me for questions/application/he’s at @nycacc.bsky.social on death row- gotta find a foster! Repost!!
Ok I’m offering another amendment right now in the Appropriations Committee to stop Trump’s corruption. This one says the Department of Education can’t cancel funding for a college just because professors or students hold views Trump doesn’t like. Again, stay tuned.

At 2 minutes to midnight last night, the Rapists DOJ filed a motion asking, in no uncertain terms, to be able to redact Trumps name on all of the Grand Jury Transcripts of THE EPSTEIN FILES. BEFORE Releasing it. YOU'RE CAUGHT!! youtu.be/QgvPakYKFyA?...

I just witnessed a man dragged onto this bus after a judge did not let him explain how deportation could be a death sentence for him. And it's happening here. What I saw today in San Antonio immigration courts was horrifying. Everyone's right to due process is under attack. Congressman Greg Casar

Texas GOP Rep. Giovanni Capriglione...the same man who rammed through a six‑week abortion ban...has been exposed: a 17‑year affair and allegedly paid for multiple abortions. These aren't leaders...they're hypocrites in power. If that doesn’t make you furious, you’re not awake.
This is what you say when you’ve dedicated yourself to dismantling government and put humans in needless danger both before and after disaster. This is an immoral man parading as a righteous Christian.
Someone prove this wrong.
We will never surrender in the battle to protect birthright citizenship.
Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?
These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸
On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.
Today’s best meme
Good morning Blue Sky Friends
Terry Moran told the truth about the hateful Stephen Miller. ABC News hid behind the worn-out claim that their journalist failed to show sufficient neutrality—& fired him. “Neutrality” rather than truth-telling has helped deliver a fascist regime—and legacy media capitulating to a despot’s demands.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer authoritarian
Stunning! 😍
Unhuh WWJD?
47 wants Walmart to hide his massive import tax, so he does not suffer for his regressive tax increase. Instead, write Walmart and let them know, we want the tariffs listed on the receipts. Americans deserve to know how much 47 is charging them. Walmart 702 S.W. 8th Street Bentonville, AR 72716

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens. Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

I only need 5 minutes to complete my financial disclosures every year cause I own zero stocks. The same should be true for all members of Congress. We must ban Congressional stock trading.
Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”
Isn’t MTG’s statement akin to Alex Jones saying children didn’t really die in a shooting in Newtown CT? How much did he have to pay 🤔 She deserves to pay too!

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

Happy tariff capitulation day to all who celebrate.
Trump 1.0
Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution? How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ? 20 minutes at the most
Hysterical!! 😂 Does she know no shame?? Does she think no one’s going to check her lies at this point?
Finally, some good news for Canada!🍁
MTG came to mind for me too! Two kernels in pod…🥴 or is it colonels?
Keep your hands off the American people.
Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.
ICE opened their detention center in Newark WITHOUT permission from the city, and in violation of state law. Mayor Ras Baraka has been fighting to close it down. RT this to THANK Mayor Baraka!

Thanks to every one who helped me to raise funds for drone defense and (with Mark Hamill) mine clearing robots and (with Slawek Sierakowski) evacuation vehicles. You saved lives. We will keep going.
Best sign from yesterday.
We must fight to save PBS and NPR.
Every single homily in every single Catholic church tomorrow should, be about how vile this image is. Silence isn’t neutrality, it’s consent in disguise.
It was a long week, but today ended with two voting rights victories in Pennsylvania and Trump's executive order targeting my old law firm being permanently blocked by a federal judge in DC. My advice: stay hopeful, stay strong, stay informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
The markets know the difference.
The differences in their images alone is an embarrassment 🤡

Not so broad From the Bill: This bill introduces new regulations for political advertising that contains altered media, specifically targeting the use of generative artificial intelligence technology to create manipulated images, audio, or video recordings of political candidates or officeholders.
I really wish reporters would stop saying that there is an effort by the Trump administration to combat antisemitism. It is quite the opposite. There is an effort to foment antisemitism. forward.com/fast-forward...

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Republican “Karen” Harshbarger refuses to apologize for calling Rep. Al Green “boy” in an interview. She thinks there is nothing wrong with using the racially charged slur. This Karen needs to be taught a history lesson and voted out. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory www.thedailybeast.com/al-green-res...

Who else AGREES with Pedro?! 🤚
Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"
Elon Musk and his arrogant little minions tried to break America. We will send him packing and they will fail.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
#NorthCarolina needs help if you have free time 👇🏼👇🏼
North Carolina officials say fewer than 1.7k ballots should be at risk for rejection in the state Supreme Court race. Jefferson Griffin wants the court to toss out more and take away the chance for some impacted voters to correct the alleged ballot issues. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Who are you talking about?
The Ministry of Propaganda is out early today doing damage control.
Pope Francis was the first Jesuit pontiff. Social justice — not a buzzword, but a real tradition — was central to his worldview. He frequented refugee camps, hospitals, prisons. He rebuked Trump and Vance’s mass deportations. He stood for service, and against cruelty. RIP.
*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.
Trump picked Hegseth and 51 Republicans, including Vance, confirmed him. They are all accountable.
The guy who ran a fake university wants to tell HARVARD how to run a university… Just imagine.
