remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Here’s donald trump, the self proclaimed “President of Europe.” Please Europe take this Nazi swine. Persecute him, prosecute him. Go full Mussolini on him. Put him under glass in a museum, or in prison. Do what you want; we will be forever grateful, thankful, and forever in your debt #USDemocracy
So when we first showed up at the Union Station today, we ran ICE off as soon as we got here.
If you saw the clip, watch the whole 12 minutes. This is it. Electeds—everyone around Pritzker is knowingly putting themselves at risk—meeting the moment. It’s not glib, it’s not a meme, it’s clear-eyed, brave, & necessary. www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...
Trump: "They call me the president of Europe. Which is an honor." Europe:
@jamellebouie.net well deserved. Congrats!!!!!
I’m certain this vocab list does not have the same punch as the newt Gingrich-frank Lutz era republican vernacular. Third way are a bunch of soggy-ass wusses.
I threw the sandwich but I did not kill the deputy
Two things can be true: 1) this administration is causing & will cause incalculable damage & death to vulnerable people, and eventually to everyone except maybe the oligarchs. It is a horror show beyond many of our wildest previous imaginings 2) they are bungling fools and they have already failed
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
"I'm not going to be part of that process that gives [Trump] more reinforcement to harm my community and my people." Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier is being held in the State Capitol for refusing to comply with a Republican demand that she allow herself to be chaperoned by police.
"I have to go ask my manager..."
I have one thing to say to this: cofefe
Outside Dupont north metro
ah yes the long simmering "can a U.S. president invade the United States to enforce racism through a campaign of kidnapping, murder, and terror" debate, gotta hear both sides
Newsom shows how to get the media to see Trump’s weakness. A THREAD.
Newsom can't be President because he's an asshole with bad politics but he can absolutely goad the current President into doing dumb and loud shit and there is no greater need in the moment than a loathsome fuck to anger and annoy the other loathsome fuck
Oregon’s Secretary of State declines to discuss a potential deal with the DOJ to share private voter data with the federal government, saying the administration wants to use the data to "silence the people and undermine our elections."
Imbecile.
We stopped expanding the House in the 1920s, decided the Supreme Court should freeze in the 1930s, added the last states in the 1950s, amended the Constitution only once in the last fifty years. The USA and its government continued to grow, but almost all that growth came in the executive branch.
Extremely same. 🤬
My mom's mixer broke while we were in the middle of making cookies. My completely unperturbed Nana said, "oh, lord, we got hands, that's all the mixer we need."
Pritzker: Neither Texas nor the FBI at the federal level has the authority to arrest these Texas Democrats They’re welcome to visit to take in the great views and enjoy the incredible restaurants we have. But they won’t be taking anyone home with them, or out of the state.

NEW: Trump hurls a dizzying array of outrages at us. But they're each part of an overarching plan: the deconstruction of American society. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I note how this big picture is not being fully conveyed by the media & Trump's political foes. link.motherjones.com/public/40962...

The notion that fascists can be “defeated in the marketplace of ideas,” completely overlooks the fact that fascists don’t so much have ideas as they have murderous and usually genocidal intentions; for fascists ideas are just tools to achieve those intentions.
white women need to keep doing this shit.
I’ve gotten some negative feedback about the language I used about Columbia. Although I accept people choosing their own tone, I decline to accept tone critiques from people who wish to follow decorum obediently into a ditch. Columbia’s leadership is contemptible Vichy scum.
Students of Columbia in 1776 tore down a statue of King George that was on campus when the declaration of independence was announced there(It was named Kings College) and melted it down to make musket balls. Today that same university sadly decided to hand its balls over to a would be modern king.
RIP Chuck Mangione 🎺 🙏

For the Epsteinth time, an 'underage woman' is called a CHILD. Thanks for coming to my Pred Talk.
Someone explain how Hunter Biden’s opinion is forever tainted by his addictions, weird exploits, and accusations of profiting off the family name but we’re supposed to trust RFK Jr.
Big props here to @repmcgovern.bsky.social and his team + Rules Committee Dems here for executing smart tactical maneuvering to put Republicans in this jam
Final CBO score of the "big beautiful bill" is out Largest Medicaid cuts ever - in fact, at least 4 times the size of the previous largest; $894-$990 bn cut Kicks 10 million off health insurance Largest SNAP cuts ever, $197 bn cut Still increases the deficit by $3.4 trillion from huge tax cuts

The bouncer at a remote dive bar, with an exceptionally sticky floor. He lives out back in his murder van and bathes in the crusty men’s room sink.
The latest ICE statistics show that as of June 29, there were 57,861 people detained by ICE, 41,495, or 72% of whom had no criminal convictions. So much for the “worst of the worst.”
Love this thread.
A treat for those of us of a certain age
Now this list doesn't fit in one screenshot (I'm updating it on FB).
Camarillo is my home. I have ridden my bike by that farm many times. The people who work there are neighbors and friends. John Fetterman can fck all the way off with that.
What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky. So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵
“Journalist” As if.
well, you do if there's a fucking wolf
Who vacated those crucial roles? "some experts" ="critics say" Oh, does it "raise questions" This deliberate obtuseness from you guys is why cancelled my NYT subscription. You're so effing lousy.
That’s 17 MILLION people across the country. Working people deserve better than to have their healthcare ripped away so billionaires can get another tax cut. op: @aflcio.org
Very important thread
On my country's 249th birthday, I wrote about the problem of sharing a nation with millions of evil people, and how to live a human life in the face of overwhelming inhumanity. Oh and the Beastie Boys make an appearance. www.the-reframe.com/so-shines-a-...
#AllElectionsMatter. When Republicans control the majority they set the agenda. People will Suffer and Die because of the way the Republican majority in the House and Senate voted today as was outlined in #Project2025 and driven by DJT and his Cabinet. #IndivisiblePA @indivisiblepa.bsky.social
For 50 years GOP has relied on 3 big scams: *deficits pose civilizational threat (when Dem is in WH) *tax cuts for rich pay for themselves *safety net cuts needed to purge welfare cheats w/this bill, Trump's "working class GOP" is supercharging all three New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1976...
We need to throw the GOP out. They’ve just handed us the playbook.
Pennsylvania Rep. Brendan Boyle, on The Bulwark, calls out John Fetterman: "If you are here, you're damn lucky, and you're privileged to be here. You should want to be here. If you don't want to be here, leave."

No room in the bathrooms, because all the classified documents are stored there, prolly.
ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.
u can completely free up your future vacation schedule sir
🚫 What’s being cut: – NIH: –$19.5B – CDC: –$4B – Cancer research: –$3.1B – SNAP: –$30B – Education: –$12B 💰 What’s being funded: – ICE detention: +$45B – Tax cuts for the wealthy: +$4.5T over 10 years This is the trade.
Trump announcing there is a ceasefire is basically him saying TAG NOT IT NO TAGBACKS and then getting tagged
So the ceasefire that Trump announced has ceased ? Asking for a friend.
How about @artbutmakeitsports.bsky.social
😂
Do sleeper cell agents typically go to immigration hearings. Just asking.
AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Reporter: Five fellow mayoral candidates came here within 90 minutes of you being arrested and called for your release. What does that say about the tenor of the mayor's race? Lander: Was one of them Andrew Cuomo? Reporter: It was not. Lander: Imagine that!
I remember this from when I was a kid. Seems silly in a lot of ways now, but the "No More Kings" part is relevant again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex-i...

Check out the #Philly speakers at #NoKings - www.youtube.com/live/3rnjg5h...
Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today
Raskin: And the moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people. That is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again .
Meanwhile at the Chicago No Kings Protest. 😂😂
Yo, @fetterman.senate.gov , MAN UP! Or are you too busy having play dates with MAGA McCormick and the Tri-shirt Hobo Bannon
The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.
Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs
Better save a copy of this now
Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.
Ask him "remember that time your kids got polio? Why didn't they get polio? Because they were vaccinated?
"We got rid of one already, 250 years ago; a mad king," Vicki Miller, group leader with Indivisible Philadelphia, a grassroots volunteer organization helping lead the local protest, said. "We're not going to stand for this again." #NoKings ❌👑 www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia... @indivisible.org
You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.
