A good reminder of what ethics and a refusal to bow down to intimidation looks like in words and in practice.
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
And the rest? Are they happy to see everyone's rights taken away in the name of the orange one's war on imaginary enemies ?
Alas he's not only an idiot. It a racist one at that
UPDATE: I called Steve and asked him if he wanted to delete his post calling for the murder of my husband and me or should I have people call them all day and he hung up on me so I think that means he wants people to call his business all day.
True
I feel so bad for all women who live in Texas
Hallelujah
Somehow Trump embodies every single bad stereotype people around the world have about Americans. Every single one. Throw a fanny pack on him and the portrait is complete:
He should have stormed the capitol with a loaded gun - he'd be up for a promotion. Reckless endangerment with a sandwich gets more serious charges than pedos in this administration,
It's seemingly compulsory that they lie every time they speak
Exactly - the view that all must be perfect with a democratic candidate gave us the worst we could imagine. Unlike the current GOP, we can still work within the current Democratic Party to revise polices going forwards.
The US of A in 2025. They know they have many friends in this administration. Terrifying. www.wired.com/story/whites...
Because of course ...
Just go away dude. Find a moral compass and go do something else
Disgusting and shameful
Mamdani on Cuomo "conspiring" with Trump: "It is time for us to make clear that what this city deserves is a mayor who when he sees Donald Trump attacking the people of this city will stand up and fight back against that vision, who will not get on the phone with the architect of that vision."
Oh no - I've left twitter. Will I be rounded up soon ?
Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.
Of the many ways they wish to police and control women, the vagina patrol is a complete farce
Great that we've just changed the rules - I guess this will apply to all future governments ?
When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.
He's thinking I will need and long shower and an alcoholic beverage after this. America is Trump's care home and he really shouldn't be allowed out.
ICE agents quitting? Our shaming may be working
Gross
Give this guy a medal
"In its current degraded state, the DOJ is purely reactive, capable only of defending the policies of an aging demagogue and targeting his enemies for retribution. In short, Bondi presides over a department of weaponization and nothing else." — @lizdye.bsky.social
I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
Meiselas: Mar-A-Lago was used as the grounds in cases to sex traffic underage girls. And this isn't me being conspiratorial... it's documented.
I'm pretty sure my 79 year old mother isn't up to fruit picking under the Florida sun
When does the “golden age” start?
Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanis, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday. We will do everything we can to support them. We continue to work with the hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.
The Supreme Court did this. Monstrous. Blood on their robes.

Facts matter.
Tell Your Members of Congress: Demand DHS Secretary Kristi Noem resign—send your letters here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
oh, we have some straightforward gutter racism. “the blacks and the browns are the reason white people can’t get ahead” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Wu: "It's a 500 year storm that keep hitting every year. We're saying there's something wrong with that. You're not supposed to have 500 year events every year. And every time Dems offer up legislation to say 'let's do something about this, let's save lives,' it's uniformly rejected on party lines"
I'm going to call it an impossible, both sides are too repugnant to care what the deplorables think
So the Kerr County, Texas commissioners refused Federal ARPA funds for emergency warning systems because of “communism” and the result was they killed over 200 people… This is what hate and GOP rhetoric does to your brain. It’s deadly.
Crazy and unhinged has lost its power
Exactly.
The builders behind Alligator Alcatraz and other detention sites are top DeSantis donors. They scored no-bid or “emergency” contracts worth tens of millions—while funneling cash into his political machine. Pay-to-play isn’t just speculation—it’s backed by the paper trail. 🧵
Instead of using your tax dollars to actually provide help and prevention, we used them to create a god office that will pray for you.
Since 2009, I’ve shopped Etsy for gifts, keepsakes for my kids, and other special items. I will *never* make a purchase from Etsy again since learning they’ve allowed Alligator Alcatraz merch on their site. Etsy should be ashamed of themselves for profiting off human trafficking. Despicable.
Just the kind of degraded service their voters chose - very sad
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.
I think you know the answer to that question
I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
Kamlager-Dove: We have a president that is more committed to selling fragrances than he is to telling the truth
Couldn't agree more !
AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."
Fresh from 'saving' women by erasing them wherever possible , controlling what can and can't be discussed at universities - next up - let's save NYC for the billionaires and those who would rather see people suffer
the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.
Utterly irresponsible leadership from the Senator from Alaska. Look ing after your constituents also means looking after the national interests as well.
McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."
ICYMI: “Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social has filed a bill to ban law enforcement officers in Tennessee, including ICE, from wearing masks while making arrests (and ID themselves) — the “Stop American Gestapo Act” www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.
Oh how low can he go ...very!
Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.
It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins
this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?
Rieckhoff: That’s America’s Secretary of Defense. I wish he attacked Vladimir Putin as aggressively as he attacks CNN and others
Well that was quick
An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.
UPDATE: “The man who impersonated ICE to intimidate the employees of a Philly auto repair center — and steal about $1,000 — will face numerous felony and misdemeanor charges…”: www.phillyvoice.com/philly-robbe... Fake ICE agents were inevitable. How can cities be proactive about this?
AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.
Someone come pick up Grassley and take him back to the home…👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.
On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of community across generations. We acknowledge our nation’s full history and the long, ongoing fight for freedom and justice for Black Americans.
I love when they pretend to care about women. Never have so many, got so little under the pretence of 'protecting women. From letting them die in hospitals for fear of providing 'abortion' services to literally expunging them for all parts of government. What crap
So we have a US official **in Germany** saying they are “just following orders” in denying Harvard-bound scholars visas despite a federal judge’s restraining order www.masslive.com/news/2025/06...
Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade
Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.
A cop doing the right thing? I think that i might need my fainting chair!
History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.
Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words
That poor child - death by republican goons
Funded by your tax dollars.
We are so beyond the pale and yet no condemnation from republicans . I hope the number of those very brave people on the streets continues to grow
Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.
Fetterman @fetterman.senate.gov was having dinner with Steve Bannon at a MAGA hangout. Go ahead and switch parties, Uncle Fester, but AOC is gonna keep humiliating you either way.
unlike Vietnam or Afghanistan at least the Marines coming to.L.A. know exactly what this fight is all about
I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
She was right.
The president must send the Marines back to their barracks, and Congress must reform posse comitatus laws so that no president tries to deploy the military in this manner again. abcnews.go.com/US/live-upda...
🤔
Absolutely disgusting and how can they not identify themselves. Illegal actions, zero transparency and completely immoral . Down the line expect a flurry of child abuse cases
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.
