To my Congress rep: So what does he have on you that you are chicken to call him out and protect our constitution? At what point did you decide you were anti-constitution and wanted this country to be a dictatorship? At what point did you fail your heritage, this country, and your constituents?
To be clear, this now a massive cover up involving the President, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, and the GOP Congress.
#EmilBove is a danger to the rule of law. According to a whistleblower, he suggested the #Trump admin say “F you” to a court order, & he dropped charges in a corrupt deal with the mayor of NYC. He’s unfit to be a judge. Call your senators & tell them to Oppose Bove. open.substack.com/pub/womenfor...
Overheard: I'm surprised the nickname “Pedofuhrer" hasn't caught on yet.
Dan Deacon @dtdeacon.bsky.social & I just uploaded a new/revised version of our paper “Legalistic Noncompliance.” It’s about the Trump admin’s noncompliance with court orders - and how they’re using legal arguments to paper that over and conceal their defiance papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
ZERO Redeeming Qualities
Cont’d. Can’t you do anything besides lawsuits and laws to protect our citizens and resist an and private businesses? I don’t appreciate in-action and how these immigrants and residents and citizens are being treated, like criminals. Please do something more proactive and protecting us.
My message sent to Governor Newsom today: Why isn’t the state issuing a state of emergency and directing agencies (with drones) to collectively monitor where these so called ICE agents (especially in mass like the 100 at the farm today), and let the citizens and residents know?
This is a warning. Next time they may mean business. How do we stop this from being our reality?
We need more than tell us our rights. They need to take action to prevent this from happening again. Not solely legal action but protection. Can we depend on our local public safety? I don’t think so. So our local and state leaders need to figure this out now! No delay. And tell us.
Now would be an incredibly good time for the Democratic Party (or someone like AOC or Raskin) to call for a boycott of X on the grounds of fighting antisemitism.
Yea but he did a show and dance in Los Angeles yesterday. Displaying the ability to do what he wants. Aka takeover. Aka Marshall Law. Unconstitutional will not stop him unfortunately.
ICE swarming MacArthur Park like warfare tactics. Fear and cruelty is the point.
Nevermind that what happened today in MacArthur Park was pointless and embarassing for everyone involved in the disgusting charade, it was shameful. These people in uniform did not sign up for the military just to be Nazi props for a deranged dictator-wannabe. 😳👇
This is not trending in my feed. A trial test in a full takeover, tested in Los Angeles at soccer fields!
Be aware. Pass it along.
We’re at the stage where it’s still possible to pull back, but only if enough people recognize how serious it is and act. Think 1932 Germany. You can still vote. You can still speak out. But the authoritarian playbook is already open and in use. Midterms are reset points; we can't lose in 2026.
You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.
When's the last time that a rendition of the Declaration of Independence made the hair on your skin stand at attention? @hcrichardson.bsky.social on the most timely of historical documents. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkFx...
Therapist: what do we do when we’re mad? me: make a voodoo doll therapist: no
Ignorance will beget death, sickness, and destitute.
Scary
July is Disability Pride Month, a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of the disability community. WA Dems are recommitting ourselves to continuously break down barriers and build a Washington where everyone can thrive.
Yep! Last October when I took my mom there. She always wanted to see the bridge. We were fortunate, not a foggy day.
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten: “American people don’t see this as a big, beautiful bill. They see it as a big, bad bill. They hate it, hate it, hate it! They think it’s awful, awful, awful!”
Great advice.
I think most of them will lose their seat if they have a lot of constituents who will lose something because of the Big B Bill. With or without Musk’s help.
Very disconcerting.
The concern here extends beyond the ruling itself. SCOTUS picks the cases it wants to hear. It's had numerous opportunities to address the constitutionality of nationwide injunctions. So why this case? What does it foreshadow? open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
And yet the right do not care. About people especially their constituents. About retaining their seat in Congress. Pure ignorance and cult behavior.
Volunteer to make this happen!
This 940-page reconciliation bill has a list of horrific provisions. One of the worst is a $211 billion tax break to the top 0.2% who inherit $30 million. In this bill 16 million lose health care & hungry kids lose nutrition. Meanwhile, billionaires get much richer. Disgusting.
Yates (on Fareed Zakaria/CNN: Congress, business, and universities are cowering to the President.
Alfredo Gonzalez (on Fareed Zakaria/CNN): The President does not have the integrity to govern. And, Congress is not doing their job to hold the President in check.
They want a poor and desolate society so they can control everything. Being poor and hungry and ailing, we won’t be able to fight back. Until this all really happens, we have to fight, protest, and vote them all out!
If true, there goes retirement for me! Others will be homeless, or worse.
I guess that don’t want to keep their jobs next election.
Thank you! Hang in there for the American people. We do appreciate your efforts.
The police state is getting bigger. In silence, where people don't notice, Donald's building it up. youtu.be/iDw1r6c9Gs4
If “he” doesn’t take dictatorship before, or Dems/Ind don’t win back the House/Senate to impeach.
They ‘MAGA’ want to return to the pre-Civil Rights era. When the south lost the Civil War they never accepted the loss. Losers of wars always want revenge.
The 2026 Dem Primary season is gonna be fucking lit
😢
They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
Dipper dance! A fledgling American Dipper practices its new moves. #birds #bird #nature #wildlife
Well, let’s not forget tRump is God’s gift to us and he can make it happen. [Entirely sarcasm.]
Jeffries: "Not a scintilla of evidence to date has been presented that I have seen to justify the notion that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America. If the administration has evidence to the contrary, come up to present it."
Iranian media shares photo of Trump on fire in chilling warning after strike A sick image of Donald Trump's head on the top of a matchstick and going up in flames has been shared by Iranian media following missile strikes on a US airbase in Qatar www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-n...
Kill the ugly Bill! Here is how!
Yep
Let it be known . . .
Don’t let them get away with kidnapping!
Pass this along
Khamenei is in an underground Faraday box and could not be reached for comment
Tomorrow (Monday, 6/23) at 11:45 am ET, I’m joined on Substack Live by Lt. Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social (Ret.), commander of U.S. Army Europe from 2011 to 2012. Let’s get direct answers and info about what’s going on re. Iran from a trusted voice. See you all then!
@karaoke-god.bsky.social is SO right. Where’s the meme? 😂
I know those who flew the bomber planes are just doing what they are told. I could never do what I am told when it is morally, ethically, criminally, illegal, or logically wrong! NEVER! I hope the pilots sleep well at night.
He needs a BIG lesson in how to correctly be a peacemaker. But old people are difficult to retrain (coming from an ‘old people’).
Right?
No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

Every online journalist I follow is calling it unconstitutional or illegal.
To my Republican Representative: If a soul on US soil dies because of the action your MAGA president took today, this is on you and all MAGA politicians.
I can’t protest in the streets but I can protest in writing. I already sent [yet another] message to my Republican Representative. No to war. And how I feel about the attack on Iran.
Constantly sending messages to my Republican Representative. I can’t protest in the streets but I can protest in writing.
😳😡
LA post your pics, whether in a protest or just enjoying your day. Show all how calm LA really is!
Always! One speaks of others what they know about themselves.
Keep the fight. I donate monthly for you to fight. Thank you!
Gender-affirming care is safe for transgender youth and legal under federal law. No matter what the Trump administration says or does, we’ll always defend the rights of transgender youth to access the care they need and the future they deserve.
To Rep Darrell Issa - And where were you when the San Diego Democrats spoke out against the ICE te**o*ists that in^aded a San Diego restaurant and community?
Same.
🙁😢😡
And you know who will not appreciate the Pope will have more attention than you know who.
The Pope gets all my attention on June 14.
MAGA represents the dumbing down parts of America and now Trump and Repubs want to expand this to all academic levels.
DISEASES ERADICATED OR DECIMATED BY SCIENCE: 1. Chickenpox 2. Diphtheria 3. Measles 4. Pertussis 5. Pneumococcal Infection 6. Polio 7. Tetanus 8. Typhoid 9. Yellow Fever 10. Smallpox DISEASES ERADICATED OR DECIMATED BY RFK JR. OR PRAYER: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
I think there are worse things most happening in 2025.
Same. It will be very hard to forgive anyone I know who was MAGA or a Trump supporter.
My local news said he posted a greeting to all Happy Memorial Day and didn’t report the second sentence. Media is failing us!
Amen
Copied and sent this to my Repub Rep.
The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.
The GOP motto: Rules for thee but not for me.
To my Rep (Repub) and Senator (Dem): What action are you going to take with yet another illegal act by our leader?
Sent to my Repub Rep: I thought I would share what a true patriot and leader and representative of people does when the Maga people are over reaching.
Yes! But . . . How do we really stop their insanity? When can we the people have a vote of no confidence and impeach?
"See if you've got an event near you. If you don't, congratulations! You are going to be the organizer for an event in your community." Indivisible's Ezra Levin anticipates a significant amount of involvement in the "No Kings" protests on June 14th. @indivisible.org @ezralevin.bsky.social
PBS needs to make a series: Let’s learn about our US Constitution. Stream it in the House, Senate and White House daily.
Surprised it’s not more like 50%!
And what are the responses of our Democratic leaders?
Not sure why this isn’t the main topic across the globe!
I want to see more here of the fighting that is going on to protect our democracy.
“. . . 100 days of just crap . . .”
How? What action are you taking to fight?
