Weāre going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes weāre bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: āThose who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.ā
Chinese artist Leng Jun,I have never seen anything like it. Extraordinary!!!
Yeah, Republicans, it's the damn guns. You can deny it, but that's simply the truth. And if you won't commit to doing anything about it, then yeah, it's you too. We have a brutal, sickening, heartbreaking gun problem in Americaāand youāre it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/hey-republ...

Front Page of the Day: He will not be deterred. #ReleaseThe_EPSTEIN_Files
āBoth of them.ā
The only thing centrism has done is move this country and its policies backwards. Any advancements we have made in ensuring peopleās rights are protected have been through progressive ideals and activism. The right has demonized common sense policies and rights for decades.

DiSabato: Jim Jordan knew that Dr. Strauss was performing unnecessary genital exams. And he absolutely knew that Dr. Strauss was taking showers with us on a daily basis.. He knows that because he was there with us. Jim took showers with us.

I.C.E Goon tries raiding construction site. Gets stuck on building without ladder
NEW ANGLE Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear shouldāve been blown offānow completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage. But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into placeā¦
I think people aren't describing the Emil Bove corruption adequately. He blew off an order from a judge SO THAT he could send hundreds of mostly innocent men to a concentration camp, based on false claims of gang ties.
Why are Senate Republicans HELLBENT on preventing you from seeing who molested children?
This afternoon, the Trump administration officially shut down the LGBTQ Youth Specialized Services program within the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The program allowed callers under 25 to speak with counselors trained to support LGBTQ youth, an option that has now been eliminated.
Iād say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person Iāve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone elseās at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.
Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought." h/t @msnbc.com

I donāt think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make whatās happening now look like childās play. And people are disappearing.
LL Cool J said that he will not perform at Wawa Welcome America in Philadelphia on July 4th because of union strike āThere is absolutely no way I can perform across a picket lineā

US sees spate of arrests of civilians impersonating Ice officers www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves. If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such. šØ Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car
Lack of accountability and consequences is exactly why we are where we are and why it will keep happening. This country keeps protecting criminals of a certain stature and color while others get the book thrown at them for minor offenses, sometimes if any offense at all.
These are nonviolent people who literally come here looking for honest work. They are not criminals, they live under the radar hoping never to get stopped even for a speeding ticket. It is a disgrace what is happening to them in this country. Sickening actually
UPDATE: Hero at the Torrance car wash, Bertha Alicia GuzmĆ”n, is speaking out after stepping in like a boss during an āimmigration raidā. She helped stop a worker from being taken by āICEā agents suspected of being imposters.
Wow so youāre telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? Youāre kidding.
Some thoughts on the current situation with Iran. Screenshot from the bad place.
BREAKING: 87 year old veteran was released from the D.C. jail after being arrested Friday on the Capitol steps while protesting the Trump parade. Asked how it felt to be arrested at 87, he replied, 'I'm just beginning, my friend.'
Heās not talking about the voter base! The donor class rules most of these politicians & dictate what they decide to do. The Dems in office are beholden to them & their wallets. We the voters are tired of this. Yes Rās put this horrific š¤” in but many Dem politicians are complacent & complicit.
Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.
Not recommended by the ACLU or 50501 because 1. Your head is more likely to be hit by rubber bullets or tear gas canisters if you are sitting. 2. Tear gas sinks
Better safe than sorryā¦ šØHeavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community ā including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.
Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story theyāre selling isnāt legit. Please film everything, document everything.
Afuckingmen!
Because people are whiny fucking crybabies who treat voting like a marriage proposal instead of a roadmap to a better future, so they canāt be bothered to get off their couch to vote for a clearly better candidate because she wasnāt the āperfectā candidate.

Congratulations to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on his historic selection. Doug and I join millions across our nation and around the world in praying for him as he steps into his new role and leads the Catholic Church.
Your School House Rock moment......
JUST IN: The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has ordered the Trump administration to transfer Rumeysa Ozturk, the Tufts student grabbed by ICE and teed up for deportation over her op-ed critical of Israel, back to Vermont for her bond proceedings. www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...
"Trump lost against the Maine governor. He lost against Perkins Coie. He loses 80% of cases in court. Which makes those whoāve capitulated look that much more foolish, because if theyād just fought back, they would've retained what they thought they'd lose and their dignity would still be intact."
Hell yeah! Put this on loopāthis wise man speaks for me. š„
Rubio is a Cubano Comemierda who should definitely deport his hypocritical a$$ to Cuba. I cannot wait until tRump throws him under the bus - you can see it coming a mile away and it will be delicious for him!
Good luck getting an updated flu or COVID vaccine. Under RFK's new rules, they won't be available in time. There's going to be a lot of sick people next year. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.
Who hid Americans during the 1979 hostage crisis? Canada. šØš¦ šš»
Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Andry JosĆ© HernĆ”ndez Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, Iām posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.
Here comes the arrests of journalists now.
After Abrego Garcia was deported, the administration initially scrambled to try to figure out how to bring him home, admitting that his alleged gang ties were tenuous, at best. Then the negative coverage started and they decided the fight would be a political win. Disgusting.
This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.
I say send him home to Siberia

You may not know about this bill yet, but you should. The JUDGES Act would hand Trump 22 new judicial appointments, and some Democrats in Congress are feeling pressure to vote yes on it to lighten the caseload of judges in their states. A few Democrats have even co-sponsored it.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason
It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift
Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
Iām about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition ā and remind him that we wonāt stop fighting until heās home.
Please be safe Senator. We are praying for your safe return with Kilmer hopefully and some answers. We hope we can get the rest of the men brought back as well. šš½šš½š
Thank YOU for coming out! This is exactly why we do this. One objective of these rallies has been for people in red and swing areas to start seeing and finding one another. There is power in numbers. We also bring local organizers onstage to speak and highlight local issues. Itās been great š
I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy. Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities. All with an average donation of $21. THANK YOU & Paālante šš½ā„ļø
A reminder that Donold feeds off of fear. He wants everyone to be afraid at all times. He wants you to stop discussing Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He wants you to stop discussing SignalGate. So he sows fear and panic.

Did anyone notice that Buekele didnāt wear a tie? I thought that outraged people when Zelensky didnāt
The crowd and overflow crowd for the Bernie Sanders/AOC event tonight in Utah. Wow.
It's going to be his financial Covid. Only totally self-inflected and it will take longer to recover from.
Tomorrowās going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.
20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.
Sorry, what?
Absolutely brutal
It's time to send out the marshals to arrest Kristi Noem for contempt, as long as they understand that she's armed and extremely dangerous

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"
Itās a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.
WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well? GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available WARNER: We have a trade surplus!
Where is our humanity?
One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanityās greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I donāt know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.
To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media hereābut we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. āWith love, Your American allies.
This nursing home even had a protest. Way to go America!

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculousāthey just canāt accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last yearās closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.
āI would be lying if I said I donāt worry. I do. But as I wrote last month: āDespite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice.ā ā @marcelias.bsky.social (4/5/25). Me too, Marc. In solidarity, LHT
The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.
How many train wrecks do we have to survive before we pull our heads out of our collective asses and let women run this country? They called it from day one.
