The central point is this: it is not justifiable to retain vast wealth because that wealth has the potential to help people who are suffering, and by not helping them you are letting them suffer. It does not make a difference whether you earned the vast wealth. The point is that you have it."

Oh, yes, and I'm sure every one of them was a violent threat to society. Or not! This is insane. www.king5.com/article/news...

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

That it’s even possible the U.S. Postal Service would refuse to deliver ballots unless states comply with unnecessary demands is breathtaking.

Next in rising antisemitism: Holocaust lite. You can only teach it if you make sure Arabs, Muslims and Palestinians "feel seen" as part of the lesson. If you want to teach a peripheral class on people around the world experiencing WW2 I can loan you my teaching materials. But that's not this.

"...Though they’re critical positions and the only statewide races on the ballot this year, Washington voters know little to nothing about the state supreme court."

good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands

“It is harder on the individual level because there isn’t anything usually factually wrong with their stories,” Caraballo said. “But part of the problem is the framing, what they choose to highlight, and how much priority they give certain stories.”

Reminder that DHS should be abolished, as should many of the agencies within it. HSI describes their mission as "investigations into the illegal movement of people, goods, money, contraband, weapons and sensitive technology." But they're guarding a pool so people can't see that Trump ruined it.

I woke up needing to say just this: I don't think people understand how expansive the plan for this indictment is.

Elevated Access - a network of volunteer pilots - transports clients seeking abortion or gender-affirming care across the U.S. with free flights. Elevated Access works closely with local abortion funds, over 100 health and advocacy organizations, and Midwest Access Coalition.

I love this. The Obamas honoring Nancy Pelosi with a garden in her name is so well deserved. Without Nancy Pelosi, there would be no Affordable Care Act.

This is a great read for everyone who has ever gotten a little sick of the smug experts in the comments section who don't actually have the first clue what they are talking about. But boy howdy, they are right and you need to "educate yourself."

“One night, a police officer tried to arrest one of Compton’s trans patrons on some charge or other, and she responded by throwing hot coffee in his face.” “We were tired of being arrested for nothing,” Felicia “ Flames” Elizondo, a trans woman who lived in SF at the time, said in 2018. #Pride

Apology accepted, but we expect better for next year.

This is one more way the "war on immigration" is being wielded against children.

You go to that fancy Italian restaurant — and who’s in the kitchen? Latinos. You go to that fancy French restaurant — who’s in the kitchen? Latinos. Latinos grow it, pick it, clean it, cook it, serve it, and do the dishes. We are the backbone. Don’t fuck with us, we’re busy.

Dylan, on life in your 80’s, is incredible. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/o...

There isn't enough focus on the people who could stop this shit.

Ths is flying under the radar, but Russ Vought is advancing a new scheme to give Trump's cronies total control of nearly $179B in federal grant funds. Billions for lifesaving disaster relief and medical research would be subject to Trumpian loyalty oaths. Make no mistake: this is fascism.

"What makes the current moment so obscene is that the richest society in the history of the world keeps pretending its child crisis is mysterious. It is not mysterious. We have built a child-hostile civilization and then pathologized the children for responding normally to it."

This has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with love, hope, and a dog named Daisy. ❤️ #getoutthekleenex

The Trump administration wants USPS to reject mail ballots from states that don't hand over voter data to the federal government. Want to speak out? Public comments are open now. Email [email protected], subject "Ballot Mail," by July 2. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Krikorian’s deflection is revealing. By blaming parents instead of condemning the conditions at Dilley, he effectively argues that children’s suffering is acceptable if their parents are immigrants.

A win! The House just voted down a clean extension of FISA Section 702.

Apathy, Youth, and the Abdication of the Left: Does anyone even care about democracy anymore?

"Parental support is vital, transformative, and often lifesaving for transgender and non-binary youth." Community support, too.

Let me get right to the point. The Senate should not confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general. Here's why: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-senate-should-not-confirm-this

WHITESIDES: The truth is the cheapest form of energy on a per unit basis is daytime solar. Is that not true? CHRIS WRIGHT: It depends-- WHITESIDES: No it doesn't depend! It's true. You are amazingly misleading the American public. WRIGHT: It depends-- WHITESIDES: No!

Don't let the door hit ya, Nancy!

Republicans… #ReleaseTheTrumpFiles

Fox News carries Raskin's entire opening statement in which he ticks through the Trump administration's egregious corruption and extremism

"The conditions show a complete lack of character on his part & disrespect towards immigrants. For him to create & have those types of detention centers, making millions and millions of dollars. I do not believe that he would put in his son’s plate the food we were served at the center.” #hypocrisy

The app would be a dramatic escalation in the technology being used to carry out the mass deportation agenda. ICE & CBP already use a facial recognition app on U.S. streets, stopping people and scanning their faces. This new app would extend that access & capability to local police too

My daughter wrote this a few years back and I try to post it every so often as a reminder of my own values. ❤️ #ParentingWin

This is our "elected leader." So embarrassing.

This makes me so angry. What was the alternative? For her to lie quietly while these three men beat the cr*p out of her and possibly killed her? 🤬🤬🤬

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

We have the vaccines, the data, the distribution systems, the pediatricians, the hospitals, & the historical memory, yet we are allowing political ambition and performative skepticism to drag preventable disease back into the lives of children who should have been protected by the adults around them

This is one thing our senators do all day: Argue about whose body they get to control.

I beg you to watch this until the end. Do not close your eyes to the horrors going on right now being paid for with your taxpayer dollars being perpetrated by your government. Our government. We must bear witness & we must shine a light on the evil. Speak out against #ICELawlessness & VOTE BLUE!

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

Delaney Hall's conditions would be illegal in any American prison yet ICE operates above the law. They serve people food infested with maggots, deny them access to medical care & legal council & the guards routinely beat the shit out of them despite not having committed a crime. #ShutDownDelaneyHall

Trump and Hegseth just got bench‑slapped by a federal appeals court that did something rare: it called out Trump’s transgender military purge for what it is — hatred dressed up as “readiness.” it's fantastic.

This is NOT normal. People are on a hunger strike. Families are demanding answers. And instead of transparency, we're seeing more reports of violence. Do not look away. Keep the focus and outrage on Delaney Hall!

In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing, Karen made several Bluesky posts. The next day, The Post fired her, claiming that she "disparaged white men, preformed 'gross misconduct’, and her posts “potentially endanger[ed] the physical safety of staff”. Now, she's fighting back in court.

State bars exist for moments like this. If DOJ’s internal accountability system is dismantled or politicized, outside professional discipline becomes essential. zurl.co/vmLMt

The fact that the GOP has somehow hoodwinked both the voters and the media into believing this decades-long BS narrative that they are somehow "the party of fiscal responsibility" is absolutely astounding. #ResistTrump

The thousand pages WIRED published are not a warning about what might happen. They are documentation of what is already happening, written down by the people doing it, leaked by someone inside who could not stand the silence anymore...
