Best course at this point is to not play Balogun. Don't give naysayers more to cry about. The red card was BS, but the interference was a sh*t move by fifa and 🍊.

There’s no difference between men marching in white masks and men marching in white hoods. None.

In a democracy, you don't need permission from a soldier to cast your vote. Trump disagrees. Stop him. 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

In Texas, an ICE goon aggressively grabbed a US citizen simply because they were present. The goon then threw the woman’s phone.

🚨BREAKING: If you thought the right wing would accept our mail-in voting victory on Monday in SCOTUS, you were wrong. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

WATCH — @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Congress has blocked Rep. Massie and my amendment to prevent the integration of our military with Israel. This is unconscionable. They’re not even giving us a vote on the amendment.”

Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.

Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

🚨BREAKING: Puerto Rico has been part of the United States since 1898, and people still act confused that Puerto Ricans are American. States that joined after Puerto Rico: • Oklahoma — 1907 • New Mexico — 1912 • Arizona — 1912 • Alaska — 1959 • Hawaii — 1959 Yet somehow this is still news to folks.

“Over a thousand women's stories in those files. A trafficking ring we already knew existed because someone is already in jail for it, and the only person in that jail is a woman.”

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

straight up Gestapo shit

Indeed. People say Miller is the reason Trump did not get the Nobel Peace Prize 😎

Drive all reactionary centrists and collaborators from Democratic leadership and consultant ranks. We need an opposition party.

Vought led the production of Project 2025, wrecking our gov't since Jan. 20. Musk gave us DOGE, Miller's driving the assault on immigrants & many US Citizens. Thiel's a founder of Palantir, sucking up our tax records, biometrics & other private data-the ultimate state surveillance tool. #ProudBlue

The single use of AI I’d be kind of okay with would be depicting Trump reading his epic wee hour tantrum posts. Nobody actually gets through those things, dramatizing them would be sobering.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

All the truth in one hoodie!

We will see more of this in other places. This country is doomed.

Yeah this is a very bad idea. In my experience the people going by far the fastest in the parks are those on regular racing bicycles who are training for races and going sometimes as much as 30mph

This quote from James Baldwin's Notes of a Native Son is just as true today as it was in 1955... “I imagine that one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, that they will be forced to deal with pain.”

We are no longer headed toward fascism. We're right in the heart of downtown fascism.

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has officially announced that he is running for Senate. So here's everything you need to know about him—if you care about reality. Let's start with the fact that he had to take literal ethics classes after he was indicted for securities fraud. (1/5)

lol every single one of these agreements explicitly says both - will not do dei - will be required to do dei specifically for republicans

We are deporting Fulbright scholars and much-needed kidney transplant doctors but have a job program for Proud Boys

You ever find yourself wading through Trump’s incoherent word vomit, trying to make sense of whatever the hell he’s rambling about, and then—mid-sentence—your brain just short-circuits, you blurt out a big ol’ fuck you!—before rage quitting the whole thing? Yeah, same.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
