Calling BS on the narrative advanced by Homan and others about why no body cams were on the ICE officers killing civilians. They posit: no funding for them until the recent passage of specific funds for them and takes time to implement. Jeez, ICE already had more $$ than any other LE agency. Goons.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Love your 250 series but it's just not enough to make up for the disaster of a celebration the DT admin is making of the 250th anniversary, Let's post a people's celebration. This inspired me as little kid to study Am. Hist in college. open.spotify.com/track/5YmPPb...

OK. Where is The Clash when we need them?

Activation today 7/10 in Los Angeles on a 101 overpass with traffic moving between Hollywood and Los Angeles. @tropicalmemes.bsky.social

So now we know that what we imagined to be Zeus thunderbolts are really pellets for the creation of life forms racing around the Milky Way hoping to hit a spot with the right atmosphere. Mind bent. Thank you Japanese scientists! bsky.app/profile/aria...

1/2 @hcrichardson.bsky.social @macfarlanenews.bsky.social Terrific to watch the YouTube of your talk. Two observations. Ms Richardson has the great advantage in her podcast/letter of reaching back into Am Hist for her "angle" on almost any of the current events and that is what I love about ....

Scary days in America.

Antonio knelt before Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s altar, his body shaking with inconsolable sobs. "They track us like dogs," he whispered, the words ragged with grief.

NEW: He was picking up a work crew to take them to construction site at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning. ICE showed up. And now this small business owner, the father of three American citizens, is dead. www.thebulwark.com/p/he-lived-h...

On Earth 1 this would be called "ending the ceasefire." Except that on Earth 1, this demented toddler wouldn't be POTUS. None of this BS would be happening. Alas, we are on Earth 2, a nightmare funhouse mirror of one colossal F up & F over after another, under FELON47. 🧾 t2m.co/i6UfDcYD

This is a profoundly disturbing and heartbreaking situation.

“What kind of man would cheat at this golf?” 😂

@elijahplovejoy.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social Happy Upside Down 4th.

Thanks so much for posting this. The full speech is fire! It shows how easily the Declaration of Independence can be as much of an aspiration as it is a painful reminder of imperfection in the American origin story. We must take the inspiration, look for present imperfections and work to fix them!

Cool move: Trump’s sons team up with banned foreign partners, sneak in fine print exempting the family from taxes, & Treasury just shrugs when asked. Scot-free has a new ring to it now. Corrupt Republicans keep protecting their guy. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption

America’s 250th birthday has been ruined, yall. Ruined I say!

I took an oath to the Constitution (more than once actually). I did not understand it to have an expiration date. I still don't. Anyone else?

Justice Brown Jackson's argument for birthright citizenship is very moving. I recommend reading it in full. An excerpt with alt-text below. “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” — KBJ

I'm happy about SCOTUS's birthright citizenship ruling like I'm happy my son doesn't shoplift when he and I go to a store together.

He fought it to the Supreme Court. He lost. He’s a rapist for the rest of history.

China wins again. Way to go Mr. President. Hope your payback to Big Oil for its contributions seems worth it to the rest of the American economy. We know you already don't care about the health of the planet likely because you personally don't stand to get much out of that. bsky.app/profile/bloo...

I’m going to keep yelling about this one. The DOJ is still actively suppressing at least 37 pages of this investigation #EpsteinFiles open.substack.com/pub/ellieleo...

Love this! 😍

You notice that the criminal-in-charge who sues everyone for everything is drop dead quiet about this. Says a lot.

Sorry about the loss @gtconway.bsky.social . On the positive side it frees you up to join, if you haven't already in the background, the coalition that filed the excellent complaint about Blanche with the NY Bar. You could also attach yourself as counsel if impeachment of DT is innitiated.

This is a terrible disaster. Magnitude 7.5 earthquake in Venezuela, minutes after another M7.2. More than half a million people exposed to “severe or violent” shaking, and best estimates suggesting tens of thousands may have been killed earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

For some reason a post on B-sky from @hcrichardson.bsky.social about protesting/objecting to the USPS proposed regulation on Mail-In-Ballots shows it was blocked. You can object by email. This is what I sent and has the subject and address. (My email and address are redacted but are required.)

A beautiful reflection… President-elect Biden, VP-elect Harris with Jill and Doug paying tribute at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to the (at the time) 400,000 American lives lost to COVID-19. #Pinks #Voices4Victory

If ever there was a metaphorical picture worth a 1000 words ….

Standing up to your people is among the strongest acts of conscience we can muster. Young man has a difficult future as an activist and suspect we all will be better for his contributions.

Father's Day this weekend at Delaney Hall immigrant prison in New Jersey. photos: Sussex Visibility Brigade

"Help me! I am a father of 3 children..We have families, we work, we have lived in this country for a long time 20, 30 years" "We love our kids and miss them." This Father's Day, hear the voices of fathers, grandfathers, brothers, and loved ones detained in Calexico, CA where 2 people died recently.

Breaking News from The Halfway Post: BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious that the annual ranking of US presidents by a committee of 50 top presidential historians was released today, and the committee almost unanimously ranked Trump’s second term as the worst in US history.

Free and fair elections, an independent judiciary, a free press, and allegiance to the Constitution are not optional traditions but the architecture of a free society.

OK. I'm old enough to say I cried a couple of times. Thank you President Obama and Michelle Obama and all involved with this fabulous launch of the Obama Center in Chicago. www.youtube.com/live/yc8Mwpa...

Why, yes, as a lifetime hater of JD Vance I am enjoying his role as guy who goes out and eats shit for everything his dumbass boss does.

And when the grotesque history of the Trump era is written, somewhere around chapter 12, the opening paragraph will start: "And then his blue paint on the Reflecting Pool began to lift off as the celebrations opening the Obama Center kicked off in Chicago."

Individual Americans will, on average, pay Iran (think IRGC) a dollar a day for the next two years and five months. Some, of course, will pay more; some (e.g., Musk, Bezos...) less. $882 per person Man, woman & child To the new Ayatollah #TheShartOfTheDeal

The world is coming to America for the World Cup. What they'll also see are detention facilities holding migrants and children just miles from the stadiums. Nothing says "land of freedom" quite like that. Share these posts to spread their shame. Don't let it be ignored.

Imagine being a kid and learning both your parents were arrested by ICE. You’ll have to pay rent and survive on your own. I shadowed four siblings—US citizens near Mar-a-Lago—as they try to do that. I'll be thinking about their story for a long time 1/x www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Another report from Trump's death camps. This one in Pittsburgh.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

The 2026 World Cup puts a global spotlight on the U.S. – and two visions of America are competing: one that shuts people out, and one that leaves a seat at the table for everyone. We stand in solidarity with our partners to demand ICE out of our stadiums.
