Julia Roberts: Renee Nicole Goode is not a symbol. She is an American woman, a queer woman who was doing the very best she could do to be good in an unjust world. And I am honored to celebrate her life and her legacy tonight, because the life she gave is our responsibility to carry.

Tessa Thompson: As a Black American, there is a kind of bone-tired exhaustion in fighting the battles that we have fought so many times before, and insisting time and time again, generation after generation, that people have the right to exist even if they speak out against the state.

Julia Roberts: We all feel like, “I can’t turn the news on. I don’t want to hear it.” But we have to hear it. We have to face it. But if we keep inhaling and exhaling, we will prevail.

NOOOOOO! Dormition Cathedral of Kyiv‑Pechersk Lavra — a UNESCO World Heritage site and priceless cultural landmark — has been struck and is burning.

@maddowblog.bsky.social @stevebenen.com @stephruhle.bsky.social @velshi.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social This needs a look see.

Peppermint: These attacks on the trans community. They serve as a distraction from the immense hoarding of wealth and resources by billionaires and now trillionaires—a distraction from the failures of this government to protect its people instead of harming them

Wilson Cruz: Our rainbow flag is battle-worn. Because this spring, blocks from this theater, the Pride flag was removed from the national memorial of the Stonewall uprising—and it was only returned when activists brought it back themselves.

Congress and the courts put Trump on his heels, legal trouble grows for his slush fund and tax amnesty plan, and new Epstein revelations shake the administration. Bright & early Mon., Talking Feds breaks it all down.

This is a war crime. bsky.app/profile/halu...

Wilson Cruz: When the governor of Texas clicked his little boot spurs and had all the rainbow crosswalks painted over, activists grabbed their brushes and painted the sidewalks instead, because that’s what we do. It goes to show: if you lower our flags, we will raise them back up.

De Niro: Good evening, everyone, and welcome to all of you who couldn’t get tickets to the White House cage fights.

DONALD TRUMP IS THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY!

We. Won. Nothing. Quite. The. Opposite. In. Fact.

De Niro: When I hear something I don’t like, I use my own free speech to respond. When I hear Trump say, that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation—not even a little bit—I say: shut the fuck up.

I’ll always fight for Ohio veterans like Roger. Thank you for your support.

De Niro: Loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser. I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents… I can’t love a country that’s led by a xenophobic tyrant. I can’t love a country that’s led by Trump

📌Anybody attending this slobbery, disrespectful UFC Freedom 250 shakedown of the American taxpayers is a fucking loser. I'm not wrong about this.

Residents of VA aren’t alone, legislation & guardrails are needed to data centers in check

tRump turns 80 today—the only convicted felon president in history. 34 felony counts for covering up Stormy Daniels payoff. Found liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll. Other cases conveniently dropped after his win. 'Years of shame' follow him into 2nd term. Some birthday. mcsp.short.gy/Id3K

Caption it. robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-cap...

Trump: “No tolls.” Iran: “Correct, no tolls. Just service, navigation, safety, environmental and maintenance fees.”

"Bread and circuses" except the bread has never been more expensive and the circus is lining the pockets of the oligarchy.

Desecrating the place

😭☠️

Shocking! Only 16% of Americans are fine with the man who made the Oval Office look like a brothel turning the South Lawn into a Vegas fight-night venue.

MAGA: Obama giving Iran $1.7 billion in frozen assets was treason. ALSO MAGA: Trump’s Iran Deal to include $300 billion in reconstruction funds for Iran. 👇

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social happy for the knicks but today is for

Republicans insist the program is full of fake enrollees. Meanwhile, millions of real people are losing coverage. Read the latest Breakdown from Jonathan Cohn right here.

The stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines. Let's give Nevadans better leadership and elect @aarondfordnv.bsky.social!

Fonda: In the face of what’s happening, we need our industry to be unified, activated, and unwilling to engage in anticipatory obedience. We stand together in defense of our right to free expression. If they come for one of us, by God, they come for all of us.

Fonda: This isn’t the first time that Americans’ rights have come under attack. But this time, what is really different from the last century is that the attacks are coming from every part of the government: the executive, the legislative, and the Supreme Court.

Fonda: The government and its cronies are routinely violating the First Amendment to silence artists, shuttering institutions like the Kennedy Center, and canceling TV hosts who speak out. And it’s being allowed by cowardly corporations. I’m not going to name names right now.

Gladstone: You may think, “How did we get here?” For the First Peoples of this land, unfortunately, this has been ongoing since the birth of this country as we know it today. So perhaps the question then is not, “How did we get here?” It’s, “How are we still here?”

Joy Reid: All of us shown the door for just doing our jobs, standing up to the administration and, in my case, also for speaking out against the genocide.

Aaaaaaand there it is…

Macron says essentially what Starmer said plus adds his part on what he expects — which shows there is no actual agreement in place.

Is Laura Loomer experiencing TDS?

As the two-term Governor of a red state, Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social knows what it takes to win better than anyone. So take it from him: people across the country are keeping an eye on Nevada, and they’re watching our campaign.

The courts ordering the removal of Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center is an important moment for all Americans who believe in the rule of law. Our democracy still works — we have to keep fighting for it.

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

Not believing in science really comes back to bite you, doesn’t it?

Started a war. Killed school girls and our troops. Prices up. To get what exactly? Back to where we started. Not exactly the Art of the Deal.

AP: “Trump played down Israeli strikes on Lebanon but said that it & Iran should refrain from attacks with a deal to end the war in Iran potentially close at hand.” Where exactly is it close and what exactly is that deal, and how is this different from 93 other announcements that a deal is close?

THIS FEELS LIKE THEY’RE TESTING US Trump and Republicans spent years screaming voter fraud with zero proof, tried to overturn the 2020 election, raided Fulton County and their new lies about California’s elections. Now they’re raiding a voting-rights group in Ohio. Buckle up: Midterms are coming!

Wow. Giving Trump credit for Ukraine’s victories after all he did for Putin. That’s some serious FOXing up.

This administration and its allies underestimate the power of ordinary people. I don’t and never will. I talked with @cnn.com about the stakes of this moment.

Thunderstorms, 34 mph winds, and massive swarms of mosquitoes are currently forecasted during Trump’s birthday UFC fight today.

Thanks to Trump's tax cuts, 88 corporations — including Coinbase, CVS, and Disney — paid ZERO federal income tax last year. They also spent $852M on political donations and lobbying. Their combined tax savings: over $26 BILLION (a 3,000% ROI!) We must break this corrupt cycle.

Trump has "attempted to flood the zone with illegality" as I told @ayshabagchi.bsky.social But we at @democracydefendersfund.org & @democracydefendersaction.org are among those fighting back with our 300+ cases & matters Essential overview of our & others' cases 👇 www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
