Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

Turning my attention for a bit to things I can somewhat control. I have a new Substack.

Canceled Hulu/Disney+ before I even had a cup of coffee this morning. #cancelDisney #jimmykimmel #freedomofspeech

Well, color me surprised. Not.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it." On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

Authoritarianism. Literally.

The Minneapolis shooter fired dozens of rounds through a window at Annunciation Catholic School today. Metal detectors wouldn’t have stopped him. “School safety” theater will never stop a man with an assault rifle and a country flooded with guns.

THIS…is the mindset. THIS…is the attitude. THIS…is the fire in the gut….that we are going to ALL have to adopt. I have. Have you? We can’t have people sit this one out…and still prevail.

Important.

LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member. RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.

The Library of Congress got caught quietly altering its online display of the Constitution, removing Sections 9 and 10 of Article I. Trump's least favorite sections which guarantees the right to challenge unlawful detention and requires the government to justify confinement.

Feeling prolific these days. #authoritarian #uspolitics #democracy

Yet another broken campaign promise.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has sued HHS Secy Kennedy for dismantling what they call a long-established vaccine infrastructure. Claims are brought under the Administrative Procedure Act, which means that despite SCOTUS's decision in Cava, there could still be a nationwide injunction here.

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

Touché.

Nothing is off the table for this regime. Armed and masked men are kidnapping people off American streets. We are living in a lawless and scary country.

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Trump is taking a $400 million luxury jet bribe from Qatar while denying North Carolina $200 million in disaster relief funding.

Who's in?

If you have followed my story, you know how much I love @Joebiden and how much he means to me. He is a testament to decency and civility and all that is good about America. Sending President Biden and his family much love as they now pursue medical options.

Keep banging that drum folks! ✊

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Nailed it. 🎯🎯🎯

We're taking the fight to the courtrooms. I'm honored to be joining @sddaction.bsky.social and others in their battles to defend democracy.

RETWEET if you stand with Judge Hannah Dugan!

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Denver, Colorado #HandsOff

Officials estimated the crowd of resisters at 10,000 at the Chester County Courthouse in West Chester, PA. There are many protest held at this location...but this is the first time they had to shut down the streets due to the crowd size. #handsoff

Young people won’t sit by and watch Trump and Elon come after our freedom to learn, to decide when and IF to start a family, & to grow up in a healthy and liveable environment We joined the LARGEST mobilization since Trump took office to say #HandsOff ‼️

NEW: Incredible scenes in Washington DC now. Tens of thousands on the National Mall for the #HandsOff protest against Trump & Musk. There must be over a million people protesting across every US state today. #FiftyFiftyOne #HandsOff2025 (🎥 Alejandro Alvarez)

Millions of Americans are flooding the streets today. #handsoff

New York! 😳 Fifth Avenue is filled. Trump will hate this 🎉 #HandsOff #FiftyFiftyOne #HandsOff2025

Beyond disgusted by this.

Good trouble. And I am here for it.

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.
