Looking at what he's done to the People's House (without Congressional approval, of course), I feel equal parts rage & embarrassment for our country. The Midterms can't come soon enough... #Register&VOTE 🌊

a disgrace not only to the office of the president but to military families who have lost loved ones

Massie was useful on Epstein. He was absent on January 6. Both are true. Cassidy was brave in 2021. He was a collaborator from 2023 on. Both are true. My take on last night's primaries, up now. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲 “One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.” www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

Most prescient, clear/eyed work of writing I’ve read on reorg. Read it. Then act. “Call your senators. Call your representative. Not next week or later. Now. Tell them this is not a reorganization — it’s the destruction of a federal agency by executive fiat and that Congress must intervene.”

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

the NCAA uploaded raw footage of the UConn buzzer-beater from every camera CBS had in the building to youtube (will drop in the replies) and the best part has to be this hard pan to Dan Hurley's mom yelling HOLY FUCKING SHIT followed by a synchronized simultaneous HOLY SHIT by both Hurley parents

CONAN: “For the first time since 2012 no British people are nominated for Best actor or best Actress… a British spokesperson commented, ‘Yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles.’" #Oscars

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

Remarkable: With support for the Iran war tanking, Trump is now throwing away the GOP's advantage on three core issues: Economy, immigration, national security. A year ago it looked like he might be popular on all three. He lit it all on fire. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2074...

1/9. In 2020 Iran did try to interfere with the presidential election.

A Helpful explainer about our wildly misunderstood immigration laws from @sawyerhackett.bsky.social

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Friends, media coverage of ICE in Minnesota has de-escalated. ICE hasn't. Residents are still being assaulted and detained every day. They need us now more than ever. Read their stories 👉 www.standwithminnesota.com/testimonies Donate if you can 👉 www.standwithminnesota.com/ Spread the word. 🚫 🧊

A 2016 civil lawsuit found in the Epstein files alleges that Trump raped a 13-year-old girl at parties hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in NY. Epstein raped her too. For anyone wondering why the victim dropped the case… 1/2

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan. Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Pritzker: "An American president should be standing up, calling for calm. That's not what this president ever does. In fact, he wants the temperature to go up. Why? Because what he's looking for is an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, to bring actual troops into American cities."

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

After one year of Trump 2.0, the real question is can the US survive three more years of his presidency as a democracy or as a leading nation. Sadly, we all know it’s a rhetorical question to which the answer is NFW.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

This most difficult part of this exercise was only picking 25.

So, MAGA friends, you elected Trump to what? Bring down prices? Create jobs? End oil wars and foreign adventures? Raise our standing in the world? Kick you off healthcare? Arrest your neighbors? Steal from the US government? Build a ballroom? Nice job. Super duper smart. Definitely not deplorable.

Of all the people to attack, a sitting US Senator, husband of a congresswoman who survived being shot in the head, a former Naval aviator who flew 39 combat missions and a freaking actual honest to god astronaut who’s been to space four times! These are not bright guys.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Cancel SPOTIFY. They are running ICE ads. F them. www.snopes.com/fact-check/s...

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

NEW WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened. This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

Motherfuckers. And I don't even like Comey.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

Dear World, We felt we needed to say something while saying something is still allowed. We know many of you have lived under malevolent, unhinged dictators before, but this is new for us… johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

Exclusive video from Texas Rep. Nicole Collier on the House floor.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more. 📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

1/ For ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for public service, we reported on five pregnant women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans. These are their stories 🧵

Donald Trump's first 100 days have been characterized by the most flagrant corruption imaginable. Today, I want to talk about 10 of the absolute worst examples. (Thread 🧵)

3/ MAGA doesn't want democracy because they want power forever. But also to get away with the thievery and corruption. A true democracy would hold Trump accountable for the mass scale corruption - the crypto coin, the insider trading, the Musk self dealing etc.

OK so the new identification requirements went into effect yesterday so let’s provide a quick overview. Press release (I guess we’re doing those again) linked before. TLDR version: things change for us but not much for you.

#ProudBlue #MomSky The immigration nightmares are getting worse by the day. This is a story about an Australian man who had a valid Visa & has been living here in the US for 5 years. He was returning from a memorial service for his sister & was arrested & deported.

🧵 We got a pretty nasty load of bad news yesterday on the future of Social Security. It's not hyperbole to say we've passed the point of no return on Trump/DOGE's efforts to kill the agency...

The last time at least one of the UConn men or women did not make the Final Four, George W. Bush was president.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.
