These filthy men are dooming our children to decimated seas & forests & smoke-filled skies forever.

David Brouillette, the ICE agent who shot Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero, had a history of “terrifying and violent” behavior. This is a feature, not a bug, of ICE’s new recruits.

🚨 MELBOURNE, FL (June 24) | unequivocally compliant & unarmed, a 15-year-old kid was brutally tackled by Melbourne PD, fracturing his elbow in a horrific case of mistaken identity. Traumatizing families is not public safety. We demand an immediate, complete overhaul of police training now!

This gutting of the Endangered Species Act is a death sentence for the wildlife. Giving corporate polluters the green light to kill manatees and pygmy rabbits for profit is pure greed. We won't sit by while they sacrifice our planet's future for blood money. earthjustice.org/article/how-...

Meanwhile antifascism is also delicious: “Today Antifascist Pasta is celebrated [in Italy] on the 25th of July — the official date that is marked as the end of Fascism." www.codacreative.com/Pastasciutta...

Stephen Miller was speaking at this, and yeah, the USA's government routinely understates or ignores right-wing violence (now perpetrated by the state, giving far-right non-state actors a holiday) and hallucinates left-wing violence.

Zohran Mamdani: “ICE is an agency that has terrorized Americans across this country and others that live in this country. It has to do with profiling and a vision of creating the largest deportation machine this country has ever seen”

Nicholas knows this but to put a fine point on it: to assuage and exploit the insecurities of people who weren’t successful but won’t blame themselves.

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

the degree to which they want to destroy one of the jewels of the American republic—our exceptional research universities—is just gobsmacking

It’s easy to feel a sense of despair and hopelessness about our nation these days. But look at these judges marching carrying roses, standing up for the rule of law. It’s hard not to feel inspired and hopeful. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

A woman was shot Thursday after attending a protest outside of an ICE detainment center in Aurora, Colorado. An employee of the group that operates the center has been arrested in connection to the shooting.

I wrote about Trump's obsession with the 2020 election and what we should pay attention to on Thursday night — The Big Lie, Foreign Interference Edition. Read my full essay at my Substack, Lucid.Substack.Com

Desperate times mean desperate measures, if you are an unpopular leader afraid of going the way of your friend Viktor Orban. In my latest, I wrote about the ludicrous powerpoint Trump talked about in his speech and why it reinforces the fanaticism of Trump & MAGA. open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/...

Today, New Yorkers marched for Good Trouble, and left behind flowers & banners outside 26 Federal Plaza, a place that’s turned into one of fear & violence for immigrant families. Our message is simple. We see you, we love you, we’re with you, and we won’t stop until everyone is free.

Day 48 of the "Flamingo Revolution" underscores it: Sazan Island and Vjosa-Narta are strategic. Sazan was a military base, and Narta is a pristine ecosystem. Yet Rama is weaponizing this to sell them out for a Trump-linked resort for private electoral and financial gain.

BREAKING: A federal court blocked the DOJ from illegally seizing the private data of millions of Connecticut voters. 16 out of 16 courts have stopped the Trump administration from stealing our personal data.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

My latest.

Why Trump's lousy speech should deeply concern all of us: "...for Trump it is what he perceives as a necessary step on the road to manipulating election results so that he is never held accountable for the fact that his presidency has been a crime spree... Which is what is going to happen."

Trump's SAVE America Act could disenfranchise millions of voters and would severely limit how Americans can register to vote. And even some Republicans have had it.

The ex-wife of ICE agent David Brouillette: “He’s like, ‘I need you to lie about my character because what it comes down to is my character, I don’t want you talking about any of the abuse in our relationship.’ I told him I was not gonna lie for him. I believe this man was murdered.”

It’s easy to dismiss Trump’s latest speech as just more of the same rehashed lies. But buried within it was the "first salvo in this fight to remove people from the voter rolls," @marcelias.bsky.social says. "We need to recognize what we are up against." Stay informed: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

Tillis prodded a rape survivor to go public with allegations against Hegseth, promising her that it would sink the nomination of a dangerous man to a powerful position. She did, at significant risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote in favor of Hegseth. He has always been a coward.

LOL

To every New Yorker: this rule is not yet in effect. The earliest it could take effect is Sept. 18, 2026. New York City will use every tool at our disposal to fight this attack on immigrant families and the communities that make our city the greatest on earth.
