Nothing says respect for our troops like deploying the National Guard only to have them pick up trash and spread mulch all day.
Every year, pollution kills millions and damages ecosystems across the globe. UNEP is working to change that. From reducing pesticide risks to tackling marine litter and toxic air, we are helping countries turn commitments into action and #BeatPollution: www.unep.org/spotlight-ch...
“That the Trump admin has found a new form of family separation is hardly surprising given they have yet to acknowledge the horrific harm caused by the original policy,” said ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt.
The ACLU's not done fighting yet to hold Trump officials in criminal contempt for the March 15 flights. In a video interview, lawyer Lee Gelernt told me that he filed en banc petition because letting feds flout orders is "very dangerous." cc: @MeidasTouch.com www.allrisenews.com/p/aclu-crimi...

Maybe Red state governors are sending their national guard to DC because they’d be safer there picking up trash than patrolling their own murder capitals.

Why anyone who doesn't absolutely have to travel to the US (& at this point, I've no idea what would be so imperative that you'd have to) still would, is beyond me.

The bombshell texts revealed in court filings this week in Dr. Phil's bankruptcy case essentially show his executives violating the Stringer Bell rule -- which is "don't keep notes on a criminal conspiracy." In fact, they even appear to acknowledge it! www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Newsom's a great Gov and perfect for this moment, but I don't like the idea of a him as prez. As for revoking Rump's Secret Service detail? I am all in for that!
This is the best editorial summary of 🍊💩 and his rise to power we have seen to date. ...and they call him leader. #RESIST
@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social et al, If the fascist GOP will not drastically revise their Big Ugly Bill in Sept., say "NO!" to the budget & shut the government (i.e. regime)down! DO IT! You still have some power: Use it!

Ashli Babbitt made a choice. She went to DC to cause trouble.She heeded her insane leader's cry for insurrection.She violently forced her way into our seat of governance with throngs of others to halt our democratic process,she destroyed public property & was ready to go further. She is no hero.
You forgot that patrimonialism aspect. #Resist
Yep separation of church and state is a bedrock principle in America. And now we have the newest version, separation of church and humanity.
Congratulations, Steven!

Utterly dangerous arrogance. Hubris. Recklessness. We never learn, do we?
Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who was shot while committing a violent crime that demonstrated a clear intention to do bodily harm to the people on the other side of those doors. The officer ended the threat she represented...as they were required to do by lethal force if necessary. It was

BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey JUST CALLED FOR a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons. Who’s with him?
That the US is charging Ukraine for weapons in a war that, should 🇺🇦 prevail, is likely to save millions of lives--including untoldnumbers of American lives--is disgusting.
RFK, Jr., Demanded Vaccine Study Be Retracted—Journal Said No Secretary of Health and Human Services Kennedy, called for a paper that found no link between aluminum in vaccines and disease to be retracted. The journal rejected the request. apple.news/AXMJankaHQBW...
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
I don’t write to soothe. I write to force a choice. To push people to stay and fight...or run away. To spark anger...courage...and conviction. Neutrality is surrender...and in this fight...you either stand up for democracy or you enable its destruction. There. Is. No. Middle. Ground.
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
If carbon emissions continued to rise, 70% of the model runs led to collapse, while an intermediate level of emissions resulted in collapse in 37% of the models. Even in the case of low future emissions, an AMOC shutdown happened in 25% of the models. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

On the same day the FDA restricted access to COVID vaccines, the CDC director was sacked and top CDC scientists are resigning. And it’s barely been two weeks since an antivax conspiracy theorist fired 180 bullets at CDC headquarters. None of this is making America healthier. What a disaster.

Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.
Just a reminder 👇🏼

Garcia: We wanted the birthday book. We wanted Alex Acosta. Republicans refused. We told them that if they chose not to subpoena or bring in Acosta or the book, then we were going to try every single thing we could—forcing votes to get these documents. And so Comer kind of agreed to our demands.
It's not just that she admitted this, but that she cited it as a *positive example* of LA meeting community needs and why local control is good! Completely insane!
Yeah, you should.

The huge price tags for this camp and mass deportations have nothing to do with public safety. ICE is deprioritizing criminals in order to meet the daily quotas. As one ICE insider said, “All that matters is numbers, pure numbers. Quantity over quality.” nypost.com/2025/06/17/u...
Most immigrants being arrested, held in these camps, and deported by Trump aren’t criminals. They've lived, worked and had family in the U.S. for many years. Aside from entering the country without documents, most in custody now have committed no crimes. www.cato.org/blog/ice-arr...
