"Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be OK, please call our attorney" -- John Shin, DACA resident, speaking to his wife last week. She hasn't heard from him since www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...

Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion

I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health

Savoring every last drop of my summer hiatus ☀️🍹 before I’m back with something new for you 🎬✨ In the meantime, here’s a throwback that still sparkles 💫

Charlie Kirk’s hypocrisy on free speech exposed in under 1 minute

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “The real offender here is a President who thinks he can use the powers of his office to run vendettas... the kind of gratuitous viciousness that has increasingly defined Trump’s return… it’s turning out to be worse than we imagined.” www.wsj.com/opinion/john...

😕

“Papers, please”

Dark. And even darker: It’s called “Fort Bliss” www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. 🇺🇸 Watch fascism work.

Yeah they shouldn't be sending Jim Jordan out to do spin on the molestation of young people I am just saying.

HOUSTON: “An investigation is underway after two men wearing ski masks and claiming to be police were shot and killed at a home in southeast Houston Friday night…” It was only a matter of time. Trump’s masked Gestapo makes everyone unsafe. www.khou.com/article/news...

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.

🔥 CHICAGO MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON: "We're not gonna surrender our humanity to this tyrant… Chicago has a long history of standing up against tyranny-- resisting those who wish to undermine the interests of working people. We're not gonna back down.”

MISSOURI…

"Those who bought into his $Trump memecoin after its launch day lost a lot of money—it is down about 90% from its high on the day he was sworn in. One consolation, of sorts: They would have lost even more in $Melania..." www.wsj.com/finance/inve...

The one percent of cherry-picked documents the DoJ released to Congress yesterday is a sick joke!! Tell your reps to demand more!

The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s. We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again. Pass it along…

Watched it last night. It was hilarious

OMG! Is that why he's drawn to little girls?

I'm dying 😂🤣💀

We’re looking more communist every day! State-owned businesses, except I think the profits go to Trump’s budget for building resorts that he negotiated with our economic tariff threats. On the backs of the working class. Taxes as tariffs, leverage for Trump.

The child rapist in the White House is Russian mafia.

And the GOP house and senate shrug their shoulders.

Good Trouble Rally in the heat in Wilmington Delaware with surprise guest speaker Stacy Abrams. #goodtroubleliveson @maddow.msnbc.com @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Hoping Jerome H. Powell does not give into pressure and comply in advance by resigning. People have got to stop doing that. Stay strong.

I say no chance. Directly into the felon’s pocket.

What are the odds that he says he gets to take them with him too like the plane

It's a paradigm called "State Capitalism". (China also does a version of it.) The US has never been 💯 pure capitalism (eg. we have social security, a form of wealth redistribution) but increasingly, it looks like we're realizing state capacity's actually important. WSJ had a good pod ab it recently!

Fascism

The President of the United States is a gangster shaking down anyone who won’t pay up

Brief intro to those who don’t know me from Twitter. Hello! I’m a Senior Fellow (formerly Policy Director) at @immcouncil.bsky.social, a pro-immigrant nonprofit aiming to defend immigrants through litigation, advocacy, and more. I help break down the confusing world of immigration law and policy.

UPDATE: Fox News reports that ICE told Kilmar Abrego Garcia they are going to deport him to Uganda on Monday.

Guess who's next? HBCUs

Convicted rapist/sex trafficker says other convicted rapist did nothing of her concern

Convicted sex trafficker & child rapist Ghislane Maxwell now resides in a minimum security prison and has been moved to the top of the pardons list…. Surely this interview had nothing to do with her unique circumstances! How would Trump feel if this had happened to Ivanka?! Oh, wait… 🫢😳

'Not what I voted for': MAGA decries Trump's latest move as 'socialism'

Thousands Warned of 'Burning Eyes' Amid Wildfire Threat

🚨BREAKING: With the Senate set to give final approval to the map Friday, state Sen. Phil King, the Republican chair of the Senate redistricting committee, revealed he’s spoken with Adam Kincaid, the national GOP’s leading map-maker, three times this summer. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Health insurance premiums are skyrocketing thanks to the cuts under the President’s "Big, Beautiful Bill." Affordability is such a critical issue across many fronts -- food, household goods, and others. Let's not make health care more expensive. www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

The fascist billionaire Republicans want you to believe resistance is useless. They want you to think nothing can change. But Kilmar’s freedom is proof that awareness matters, solidarity matters, and fighting back works.

Now, THIS I love. Making the best of a bad situation. R E S P E C T

Massive attack on Russia now
