Yeah where are they now?
I hope they don’t Jamaal Bowman him. That was INSANE to watch only attack ads on every channel for the weeks leading up to - Primaries! Not even one for Little Ceasar’s Pizza or Allstate.
#Murkowski openly saying how she was afraid for her life as a republican that would possibly vote no against #Trump policy. If you don't have the guts to do the job, get the fuck out of govt.
No, they are so much like Trump. 3 things they want -> money, power, & control. Hate them so much!
Remember Collins and Murkowski could have stopped this. People who lose healthcare coverage will die because of them
A while back, our Good Trouble assignment on the @dailybeanspod.com was to flood the National Parks feedback inbox. It worked. Keep causing #GoodTrouble www.sfgate.com/national-par...
Unless Michelle Obama ran
I just did the math, and yes, this checks out.
I sure as hell have noticed. How about you? 🤨
India & Nepal have an open border. You don’t need a passport to cross the border or bring food across.
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
"We have inherent rights that we're going to exercise and we're not afraid to exercise them because we have that inherent responsibility to our coming generations, but also to our ancestors" - Terri Monture www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...
This SCOTUS will be remembered for being corrupt and enabling a dictator. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.
Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?
Reminder for those who still use old-school stamps (like me): The U.S. Postal Service is increasing the price of a Forever Stamp from 73 cents to 78 cents, effective July 13, 2025. about.usps.com/newsroom/nat...
My sister made this for my birthday. It's an owl bookmark!
Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.
Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.
I just want to say I could not do my advocacy without YOU! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everyone who shared their healthcare journey with me so I could share it with their senators. It is so crucial that your voice is heard. It does mean so much and your story CAN change someone’s mind.
I posted about 14th Amendment #birthright citizenship in Jan. Part 1 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8rndVno/ Part 2 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8rtp3LJ/
BREAKING: if the Supreme Court wants a class action to hold Trump's birthright citizenship unconstitutional nationwide, we will give them one! We @democracydefendersaction.org just filed with our wonderful partners @aclu.org, NAACP LDF, LULAC & more assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...
BREAKING: The Supreme Court limited — but did not eliminate — the ability of courts to block illegal federal government policies, in a case involving President Trump’s executive order that aims to decimate birthright citizenship.
Apartheid under the mantle of “conservatism”…some immigrants & BIPOC’s agree with this, like idiots, not thinking it will impact them.
Wow was that fast--an immigrant advocate group already filed an amended complaint seeking class action relief in its birthright citizenship case in federal court in Maryland
Deporting children of military veterans because they were born on an overseas military base. This man has no citizenship now.
We will never surrender in the battle to protect birthright citizenship.
Religion has become more about monitoring and judging other people than it is about being a decent person yourself.
We all need a place where we feel safe… Goodnight everybody. Sweet dreams.
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
This is what they want with their Confederate flag, 250th anniversary of the American Revolution “new revolution.” A dissolution of the union of states. In fact, they want to further block off local fiefdoms where labor laws don’t apply to factories, etc. “surge pricing” of a la carte laws.
So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?
Also Cuomo ran way more tv ads - and mostly “radical Muslim” stereotyping.
Yay @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ! Cuomo concedes!
Oil always oil.
Pre-pandemic USTA member, I would get a row of US Open Tennis tickets for $8-$12, then go down to courtside 10pm. Some all-time great matches went to 2am. I saw all the legends from Agassi to Williams to Fed/Nadal/Djoker courtside that way. Now it’s $350 to be outside, not even in the stadiums.

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.
Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens
Beyoncé advocates this.
Happy 72nd birthday, Singer, Songwriter, and Actress Cyndi Lauper. 🎂
NEW: The DHS has issued a heightened terror threat for Americans. Good thing we have that 22 year old former gardener in charge of counterterrorism and DHS is busy with mass deportation. www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisor...
If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.
We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort. On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you. zohranfornyc.com/gotv
The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.
They already tried to remove Congress once.

So, if you could draw up those articles of impeachment that the Constitution so clearly calls for here, that'd be great
I remember the debates before the Iraq War, and the Congressional vote count coming out, who were the brave minority who voted against, and the speeches made by Barbara Boxer & Maxine Waters… and the protests that shut down San Francisco streets for a week. And now there’s — none of this.
So, Congress… what would you say you do here?
According to Scandinavian folklore, Midsummer is one of the most magical times of the year. It was believed that if you picked seven different wildflowers on Midsummer's Eve and put them under your pillow, you would dream about your future love that night. 🎨 Heidi Kosenius

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. The Supreme Court will issue orders tomorrow that could affect this number. Stay tuned.
Look at these two daft buggers
"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025
NYC friends: this poor dog was almost on his freedom ride out of the pound when his foster didn't show up on him. He's now in danger of being put down. Do you have space in your home and heart to adopt him? ❤️ Also, lots of animals at this NYC shelter who need a home. nycacc.app#/browse/225834
Bombing Iran is illegal. Ground invasions of Lebanon and Syria are illegal. Committing genocide in Palestine is illegal. The fucks in charge don't give a shit. They genuinely don't care. Leading human rights lawyers such as Sir Keir Starmer squeal in delight: "It's fine, it's great, we'll help".
Do cops wear jeans? Doesn’t Santa Ana have a lot of white supremacist gangs?
So…Netflix privatizing Sesame Street is…the beginning of “privatization” corporate takeover of gov fascism? Trying to make a joke but also…
So cute.
When your cat's a master of disguise.
Again - I’m guessing that the “ICE agents” who do not know immigration policies - are actually from the white supremacist groups, since “start the deportations” is one of their slogans.
What a beautiful problem to have. So proud of you, Meg. #CongratulationsMeghan #sussexsquad www.instyle.com/meghan-markl...

They should have told me in school that the real point to learning another language is when your country devolves into civil war you’ll have options
Also we had some of the biggest protests in US history against all this.
The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

Who is the head of countering violent extremism in America, folks? That would be 22-year-old Thomas Fugate. Experience: Former Garderner and Grocery Store Assistant. Feel safer?
I heard about this doc at Tribeca last week.
Yeah bc they bought the news outlets before the election. (Side bar: Your shows are sold out. Congrats. Couldn’t get in.)
A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

#ThichNhatHanh on #Faith. Why has “faith” been co-opted by the Christian Right in America? Even Native Americans were not allowed to publicly practice their spirituality until Jimmy Carter.
Must be #Pride month at MAGA, where all the closeted gay men vote against everyone’s rights.
Then you have Elon showing up with a black eye at the White House, looking like a skin head “extra” from the movie Romper Stomper or American History X, who just got into a street or prison gang brawl. This is MAGA. This is Project2025.
Also yes - Project2025 & the Heritage Foundation and MAGA - are Klan-related. As David Duke said in 2017, Orangelo, “can’t say anything about us, because we gave him Florida.” Gifting states, interfering with elections, another hallmark signature of the Klan.
This is also the PeterThiel - ElonMusk, rich Nazi, goal. Put everyone in work camps. Let the old people die, because they are useless for making profits. Spend your whole day on drugs at the White House jerking off about AI poisoning water, & going into space. What kind of country is this?
In a revenue-driven prison system, it will never be enough. There will never be enough bodies in jail. There will never be enough workers for $0-$1/day. We know how that works. There will always be new businesses to bring in & market cheap or free (slave) labor to.
ICE’s actions today to make 💰💰💰 rain on for-profit prisons - again brings us back to BLM & “slave catcher” mentality of this current system of US law enforcement. Esp when you see them tackling people on the sidewalk in a chase, or removing car doors to arrest men - even if they are citizens w ID.
“Start the deportations,” has been a Klan / Neo-Nazi / militia rallying cry in today’s post-Charlottesville age. Here’s a documentary where they said it in 2018. youtu.be/GJ0rhh5mbnA?...
ICE enables private prison companies like GEO to make $150k per prisoner. Then make them work for $1/day or less for a corporation while incarcerated. So 10 people = $1.5Mill. Or worse, just languish in a general cell together. 💰 hand over fist. 🤜 Just an extension of everything over deKKKades.
A- Private Prisons and the necessary disproportionate arrest & imprisonment of Black / Brown / poor White people — to keep them profitable - have upheld this system. It’s an extension of the carceral state that brought you - judges paid off to put kids, by bed revenue quota, in jail.
“Start the deportations,” has been a Klan / Neo-Nazi / militia rallying cry in today’s Post-Charlottesville time.
Anyone else sleep funny last night?
Oh yes, that’s an old school place.

Moment of zen for you guys tonight. I know things are hectic. Take a moment.
“Start the deportations,” Was a neo-Nazi rally slogan.
🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️
EXC: Labour MPs have written a letter calling for “urgent” govt leadership to protect LGBT citizens in the British Overseas Territories "The UK government’s inaction on these injustices is not only a violation of the ECHR, but a betrayal of the values Britain has long championed on the world stage"
