And I understand it was his family that turned him in.
Imagine being so afraid of Black and Brown people that you spread that fear across an entire nation…………. This is what mediocre white men do.
I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.
In a marathon hearing on Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, RFK Jr. faced a barrage of questions from senators who were outraged by his recent actions. In some cases, Kennedy appeared to promote flat-out lies.
Virginia Guiffre didn't commit suicide. Donald Trump got to her.

We honor our fallen soldiers. We can also honor our flags that fall in defense of Freedom.

Trump’s trade war is hurting hard-working folks across our country. Here’s how we push back: Buy union-made goods and services! If you care about good jobs, fair pay, and a strong Canada, support our workers ✊ share.canadianlabour.ca/s/m34x3GPY
He's also started on the states. "Blue" states with Democratic governors, eg. California. Then any remaining states with female or LGTBQ+, or non-Christian governors. He will stop when the goal of a White Christian Nationalist theocracy is reached, like Gilead in The Handmaid's Tale.
He's doing this city by city. Only cities with Black mayors, for now. Then cities with female mayors. After that, cities with LGTBQ+ mayors, then non-Christian mayors, then any remaining cities with Democratic mayors. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
@PamBondi : You know the truth of the #EpsteinFiles and I must ask this: If you identify as a Christian-- as I do -- who is the Higher Power you ANSWER to? If it is not Our Savior, please stop insulting Him by wearing a crucifix. Please.

Such a pleasure to walk in the Douglas County Fair & Rodeo Parade yesterday in Downtown Castle Rock!
Here's where a double positive makes a negative: Yeah, right.

My flag is out. Upside down. Many millions of non-millionaires in this country are already in deep distress: immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks, Black folks, sick folks, hungry children, women in pregnancy distress. I fly the flag for them.
Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.
Blood on his and Elon’s hands. Whenever you see Little Marco, picture a mountain of children’s souls crying out behind him.
In 80 seconds, AOC has completely dismantled the #BigUglyBill. Dems should turn this into a prime time campaign ad NOW. “This Bill is a deal with the devil”💥 @aoc.bsky.social
To all you "Christians" gloating and laughing about the cruelty of Alligator Alcatraz: Jesus would like a word. And then a ferocious slap.
My letter got published this morning in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. It's my fourth one published since March. That's a record for me.
To all my dear friends on Blue Sky.....
Believe the White House lies, or wake the hell up and share the truth.
We're living (for now) in a Repugnican, neo-christianist, white, male, nationalistic idiocracy. The duped, the bilked and the stupid voted them in. They deserve what they get.
Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!
Just like in 2016 when Dr Harold Bornstein wrote, "I can state unequivocally that, If elected, Mr. Trump will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency."
WHO ELSE AGREES?! 🤚
A Senate vote on Trump’s Tax Scam that would gut Medicaid and SNAP to fund billionaire tax giveaways is still expected soon. Make sure your senators hear from you. GOP: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Democrats: indivisible.org/resource/cal... NY (for Schumer): indivisible.org/resource/cal...
Can you imagine Barack Obama saying something like that about, say, Glenn Beck? He'd've been impeached and convicted in a hot second. The hypocrisy of today's Repugnicans is astronomical.
AB 942 will make things even harder for middle and working class homeowners and homebuyers in California. 🚨Please share this clip with three friends who need to see this! Thank you Laura Painter from ABC 10 for covering this issue!
What's the difference between these chickenshit assholes and human traffickers? None whatsoever.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this
“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

Well, what did we expect? President Biden is the one who signed the law making it a federal holiday. I'm surprised the rump didn't issue an EO canceling it.
I just became a Dodgers fan. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
We can't fight this cruelty on the basis of morality or logic, or even common sense. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6.12.)
The Department of Health and Human Services's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has shut down the LGBTQ youth suicide hotline. Is this hateful and cruel? No, according to the powers that be. It's God's will. You see, God hates queers.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 (Repugnicans vs Democrats) that parents have no right to get medical treatment for their transgender kids.
My flag is out. Upside down. It's out because President Biden signed the law that made Juneteenth a federal holiday. And it's upside down because my country has been stolen.
Apparently, we can no longer walk & chew gum at the same time. Of course the Israel-Iran crisis requires focus—but Russia is still launching its largest ever air attacks on civilians & the US just diverted 20k air defense interceptors it had promised Kyiv. Don’t abandon Ukraine.
In 30 days, LGBTQ+ youth will lose the life-saving suicide hotline—a program that’s supported over 1.3 million young people. When folks are in crisis, this admin chooses cruelty over care—every time. But this is the party of “family values,” right?
DHS Whore Kristi Noem has nothing to say in response. But I'm sure she reads her Bible and prays every day.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.
Arresting a public official for asking questions is dangerous intimidation and sends an unmistakably authoritarian message – that ICE doesn’t care about the rule of law, and that anyone exercising their right to challenge ICE and speak up for immigrants will be punished.
Radical christianists are trying to take over our country.
Let's just laugh him off the stage. So pathetic!

It’s a frightening time in our history. But in spite of that reality — or rather, in response to that reality — we are organizing and still rising. #NoKings
Trump is such a small golem, it's easy to be bigger than he.
We got him. Providing an update on the manhunt momentarily. m.youtube.com/watch?v=RxT-...
It was 160 years ago that enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned they had been freed — after the Civil War's end. The resulting Juneteenth holiday — its name combining “June” and “nineteenth” — has only grown, and it was designated a federal holiday in 2021.
Once again, the pictures tell the story…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨
If you work for ICE, quit now… Otherwise, be aware that a Nuremberg-style trial is in your inevitable future.
I learned a Mexican proverb today. "They thought they could bury us. They didn't know we were seeds."
Congrats to the US Army on its 250th birthday. You deserve a real President on this momentous occasion- not one who attempted a coup and incited the Jan 6 terrorist attack to end the democracy so many in the US Army fought to defend!
Santa Rosa CA had 5 to 7 thousand peaceful demonstrators according to an early report by our local newspaper the Press Democrat @pressdemo.bsky.social. It might have been more except for the Juneteenth celebration at the same time.
There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.
Everyone has to suffer because of this spoiled petty man child trust fund brat who didn’t get enough love from his daddy and the broken unloved brainwashed cult of his!
BREAKING: GREG ABBOTT DEPLOYS TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD TO “NO KINGS” PROTESTS… AND HERE WE GO. 😎✨

Waiter, there's hair in my taco.
We feed you. They hunt us.
It was illegal for Donald Trump to order marines to patrol the streets of LA. Everyone of those marines who obeyed that order is in violation of the UCMJ and could be court-martialed.
Lt William Calley was court-martialed in 1971 for the murder of 22 Vietnamese civilians. He claimed he was following orders from a superior officer. According to the UCMJ, it is illegal to order civilians to be killed. Obeying an illegal order is a court-martial offense.
Let's go Taco! This Saturday, June 14, Flag Day.
Warning: ICE is planning 30 days of immigration raids across Los Angeles County. If you or someone you know may be impacted, now is the time to set up a support system, identify a safe place, and stay alert.
Los Angeles — violence is never the answer. Assaulting law enforcement is never ok. Indeed, doing so plays directly into the hands of those who seek to antagonize and weaponize the situation for their own gain. Don’t let them succeed.

Remembering when a coworker laughed at me and a few other women who were talking about having been at the first DC Women's March. He thought it was hilarious how we were overreacting.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has condemned a Russian attack on the city center of Sumy, saying that's all one needs "to know about Russia's 'desire' to end this war."

Mother Gaia to celebrate Pride Month tonight after sunset
You know? The MAGA heads are too stupid, too ignorant, to launch a successful fascist takeover of our democracy.
All we really need is love. For one another, for our neighbors and enemies, and for ourselves.
The U.K. will build new nuclear-powered attack submarines and create an army ready to fight a war in Europe as part of a boost to military spending.
Trump has pulled the nomination of Jared Isaacman for NASA Administrator. "It's essential that the next leader of NASA is in complete alignment with President Trump's agenda." In other words. Isaacman had too high an IQ to be a total brainless Trump sycophant. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
LIGO detects gravitational wave disturbances such as colliding black holes produce & *requires* two locations (Washington and Louisiana) to pinpoint location. Trump wants to cut that to one. Grant odds will be cut to 7% CAREER grants, which help promising young scientists get their careers...
Pope Leo XIV will be celebrating a mass in Chicago on the same day as Trump’s multi-million tax paid birthday military parade. Chicago is expecting at least 1 million people to show up for the event. If you can make it to the Pope’s mass then do it, make it the biggest event of the day.
