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."

please watch:

All of this!

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Worth every second

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

Portland being maximum Portland. ♥️

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.

Oof! Nailed it

Ah yes, the well-known “too high a percentage of stories” exception to First Amendment protection.

pretty much say it all www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Any news organization with a shred of decency would fire Brian Kilmeade immediately. There is no gray area about this.

A principled, courageous decision.

In #Rochester, #NewYork, 100 marched to surround a house where roofers were being detained by ICE. While one person was taken, several others were left alone as the crowd "shouted “shame” and "Gestapo,” and applauded as agents...drove...away on four flat tires." www.wxxinews.org/local-news/2...

“Dems cannot pretend this is a normal Republican administration. They cannot ignore masked agents in the streets, armed troops in the cities, billions of dollars of money going into the Trump family’s pockets… If Dems cannot make an issue out of all that, then they are screwed and so are we.” 🎁🔗

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

God is over the “thoughts and prayers” bullshit!

There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.

I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.

Now this is messaging. Not my constituents, not the people of Chicago, he said “MY PEOPLE.” Very effective and moving.

“This is not a time to pretend that there are two sides to this story.”

Seriously, Dem leadership has got to stop prevaricating and take an actual stand against this fascist regime!

This is courageous resistance. Protect our neighbors.

Ok, House Democrats (and Republicans), time to check on that scrap of paper again. Did any of you put "Prosecute political enemies," "Illegally take ownership of a private company," or "Occupy liberal cities with the military"? I'm beginning to think none of you have a line in the sand.

Just now…

Like most bullies, Trump can be constrained only if everyone stands up to his bullying.  Protest. Go to town halls. Protect the vulnerable in your community. Keep speaking out.  The fight against authoritarianism will take all of us — and we can't relent.

I am being completely serious when I say that Democrats in Congress should be planning daily press conferences between now and September asking why Republicans are refusing to do their jobs to protect the country’s most famous pedophile who was also best friends with the leader of their party

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

On the left is a post today from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. On the right is literal Nazi propaganda from the 1930s.

I think you should be able to say things the president doesn’t like and still be a citizen. Maybe we should write that down somewhere.

Hmm, let’s see… mass detention of civilians without trial or traditional legal protections on the basis of identity (race, religion, ethnicity, political affiliation) rather than any criminal act, often for an indefinite period and done principally to expand political power. Check.

Hakeem Jeffries is so skilled at being a disappointment. The worst opposition leader possible. I am so sick of rank careerism and incompetence.

Every single word spent dishonestly attacking Zohran is a word not spent attacking Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, which Republicans are trying to pass as we speak. Jeffries is failing to meet the moment.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

These numbers for ice are insane

A nice reminder of the immense power contained in saying “no.” When people refuse to comply, it raises the costs ($$$, political, social, etc) of enforcing authoritarianism. They very well might try anyway, but every person that says “no” is another point of friction. www.npr.org/2025/06/28/n...

PLEASE READ and SHARE from the CHILDREN'S Hospital Association: “Your child—regardless of their insurance status—could see the services they rely on reduced or eliminated... The bill amounts to fewer doctors and nurses to see your child, longer wait times, and sicker children."

This!! 👇🏻 We want you to fight against this monstrosity with everything you’ve got! @pattymurray.bsky.social @cantwell.senate.gov

People freaking out about having a socialist in the NYC mayoral residence but OK with having a fascist in the White House.
