Omg ded.

ICE tried to kidnap one man from a local grocery store in St. Paul, MN, but community members used their humanity & their bodies as a human shield to successfully fend them off. ✌🏻

Underappreciated lesson from 2016: most fake news was run for profit (not ideology) & right-wing fake news thrived because it sold better than left-wing fake news. X takes that to next level with a social media platform designed for right-wing users, intentionally incentivizing right-wing fake news.

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

OMFG this guy.

Is anyone on here actually rooting for a team any more or are they just collectively hoping for baseball to end

9. The data out of MMCPS makes one thing unmistakably clear: this crusade is not a mass movement. It’s the obsession of a vanishingly small minority, inflated by a Republican Party that has turned resentment of diversity—and especially of LGBTQ+ people—into the centerpiece of its politics.

Elizabeth Warren: "If fighting to reduce the cost of healthcare and avoid a coming catastrophe is not worth fighting for, then I don't know what is."

I thought the exact same thing.

One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.

I would like Never Trump Republicans to demand that George W. Bush appear and speak up for democracy in this country. Why do ppl always ask Obama to do things and “where is Kamala”? Where is the 43rd President of the United States while democracy crashes & burns. This is the party he led. 1/

i remain resolute in my confidence we will win and it will be because we stuck together. dooming and fatalism is not how any of us will get out of this mess. i’m saying this as a veteran climate journalist who is a trans woman. if i have more hope than you, think of what that says about your view

This makes me cry. In my brain I know it will end… but my heart is battered watching the suffering.

“Calling people a fascist is dangerous, violent rhetoric.” ... Here's a compilation of Trump doing precisely that: ht: @micaherfan.com

This is as huge a scandal & blunder as this chaotic Administration has seen. The person who should be called to answer for it is Secy Kristi Noem. When a woman who loves the camera as much as Noem is nowhere to be seen for 10 days it’s b/c she’s hiding out. Media should be all over this.

I just think if your definition of civility is about the volume and tone of speech and ignores the content of the speech you probably need to start over

baseball legit might have the pound for pound best announcing talent of any sport

The New Normal. I loved that show.

“The entire mainstream media environment has been working overtime to sanitize Kirk’s legacy since his murder—a legacy that includes targeted harassment of professors at schools across the country and normalizing the notion that basic human rights are up for ‘debate.’”

this concludes the mourning portion of our program

My daughter is trans. I'm not going to enthusiastically endorse someone who wants to have charlie kirk be a leading voice on trans policy. 1

Not funny, but true: All tyrants eventually fall. But after that happens, the people and institutions that bowed down to them will never regain their reputations.

SOUTHWEST AZ‼️‼️We can make history electing the first GenZ woman to Congress with DEJA FOXX in AZ-7 @Deja_Foxx She has surged 25 POINTS in the last month and is now within 8 POINTS OF WINNING. Help us TURNOUT before her election on July 15

Mamdani wins the primary with hearty support from the Jewish left, cross-endorses with Brad Lander, wins the Upper West Side, wins Dan Goldman's district, gets Jerry Nadler's endorsement The NYT:

This ruling prioritizes the discomfort and fear of some non-trans people over the health and wellbeing of trans youth. It disregards science and every major medical authority. It endorses the state controlling parents and doctors. Every resulting suicide is on the hands of these anti-trans justices.

One of the problems with AI chatbots under the control of mercurial billionaires is that they are terribly easy to manipulate for propaganda.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

This article is from CNN and cites a report by the environmental working group, a nonprofit who gets a ton of money from Big Wellness. Their recommendations are flawed. WEAR SUNSCREEN. USE THE ONES THAT WORK FOR YOU. Chemical or mineral. (But not beef tallow if you want actual protection.)

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money. Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment. Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

REPUBLICANS: You need to get a job to receive Medicaid AMERICANS: What if my job doesn't offer healthcare? REPUBLICANS:

The man with the nuclear codes walked into a wall. 😬

What a tragedy for our world that even the announcement of Joe Biden's stage 4 cancer is a reason for some people on the right and the left to attack him without a shred of human decency. All this makes our world poorer.

Pay no attention to the man running the country. This is more than bias. This is propaganda. Holy smokes.

its genuinely insane to see the press on a "democrats must self flagellate over biden being old" when this shit is happening

Again, let me make it clear: Trump can ONLY pardon Chauvin on the federal civil rights claims of which he was convicted. His 22.5 year sentence under Minnesota law STANDS, no matter what Trump does, and the Minnesota AG has said the state is prepared to go get him from Texas federal prison--

Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild: 📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices 📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices 📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

seriously stop accepting the EOs as rule of law. They just aren’t.

A great thread.

To save runaways from slavery who were trying to make lives in the North “illegally,” local Vigilance Committees formed. They kept watch for slave catchers, secreted away those in danger, and posted placards that outed slave catchers, sometimes hounding them till they left town.
