The saddest thing is that it took two authoritarian regimes, Iran and China, to show the world that Trump is an idiot who bluffs. With courageous leaders, democracies could have exposed this political spectacle themselves. Instead, many quietly adopted the same methods.

Some large police agencies recognize a public right to know the identities of officers involved in violence. But the DHS has declined to release the names of immigration officers involved in high-profile killings, including recently in Maine and Texas, leaving the public clamoring for information.

This is evidence. The ex-wife of ICE officer David Brouillette, who killed Joan Sebastian, says he urged her to stay quiet: “Don’t mention any of the abuse or troubles that we had in our marriage. Right now it’s important to make sure that I look like I have a good character.”

Texas GOP congressional candidate Brandon Herrera has a history of sexually explicit attacks on women and crude remarks about children — including calling a child a “cum trophy”

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

OSSOFF: I expect tonight's speech to be equal parts pathetic and dangerous. I think we will hear from the world's most famous sore loser, a prime time presidential sour grapes address reheating, debunked conspiracy theories about an election in which he was soundly defeated.

Wait, Pete Hegseth wants men in the military to get hormone replacement therapy if their testosterone levels are too low. So basically, Whiskey Pete is pushing gender affirming care. Make it make sense.

This Administration is engaged in the largest criminal cover-up in American history.   Todd Blanche cannot serve as AG. Full stop.

OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election? CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election? C: I'm not gonna get into that with you O: You're not being honest or forthright C: ...

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

No federal agency should be killing people in our communities. He was TWENTY-SIX years old. TWENTY-SIX. Since Trump took office, ICE has shot and killed at least 10 people. When families are left burying their loved ones, that is not law enforcement. That is cruelty. We deserve answers. Now.

Social media is abuzz with opinions on how best to honor Lindsey Graham. IMO, it should be by reflecting on the last honest thing he ever said.

I believe the witnesses. We already know that ICE lies about people trying to ram officers with their vehicles. We’ve seen this before. #JusticeForLorenzo

Ah, an open-minded system…tis the dream.

Time for some serious civil disobedience.

So excited to meet Mo Jenkins, the new Texas State Director, soon here in San Antonio!

Trump: "They're evil people, they're sick people, they're mentally disturbed people. It should've been done 47 years ago. Thank you everybody."

In case it wasn’t clear, I think there are a lot of mistakes and beliefs that people can change and — with effort and good faith — try to make right. Rape is not one of those. You cannot rehabilitate a rapist. There is no room for rapists in our movement.

There’s no difference between men marching in white masks and men marching in white hoods. None.

Today is a reminder that the work of protecting our country never ends. Democracy isn’t something we inherit and then forget about. Every generation has to decide whether it will stand up for it.

“How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal… division is the oldest trick in politics.” Zohran rings in America’s birthday by reminding us our story is one of welcoming immigrants, not excluding everyone who doesn’t look like us. 🇺🇸 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DaVzyL0...

Queer and proud.

Morning! Can we talk about Donald Trump having a convo with an AI, and then telling everyone he talked to Teddy Roosevelt about the Panama Canal? But, for real.

This is beyond terrifying. Where is the news coverage on this?

NEW: Most Supreme Court Rulings Are Secretive Votes With Little Justification ProPublica conducted a new analysis that shows the court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation.

Disgusting.

Such a bummer.

Cheating scandal? License suspension? I’m not impressed.

The vote is today, so the topic of conversation at dinner tonight will possibly be where we are moving to.

Trans rights are human rights.

Reason 1,738,945 that Abbott needs to be voted out of office.

Last night, Republicans betrayed the American people and bowed down to Trump. Trump is too incompetent to negotiate a good deal to end his disastrous war—and it’s hurting families, endangering our national security and humiliating our nation. Republicans own all of it.

"No one gives a shit about housing." Only ballrooms.

When are the adults going to take back the government?

This is RIDICULOUS- these protestors do not deserve to be in jail for the rest of their lives!

Modern day Lilith Fair - looks amazing!

Props to Mayor Jones for standing up for her city. We don’t want this concert.

This is what truly presidential looks like.

Strait of Hormuz is closed again and here’s what he’s doing.

This is some bullshit. “Standing with the child victim” would have meant putting his rapist in jail if this world weren’t so backwards rn.

Happy Pride, New York City!

Queer joy is strength 💗🌈

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved people in Texas finally learned they were free when Union troops arrived in Galveston to enforce emancipation.

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

Say WHAT now?! Vote him out already!

It’s because we are sick and tired of companies slapping a rainbow flag on everything for a month, then turning around and giving money to politicians who vote for hateful legislation.

"Though Disney and Pixar have always been good at tugging on audiences’ heartstrings, Toy Story 5 feels like a return to form for the series because of how it captures everything that’s great and terrible about life in the age of Big Tech." Read our review from @charlespulliam.bsky.social:
