Who said it best?

Killings, torture, and arbitrary arrest led the Trump administration to designate the Central African Republic "do not travel for any reason." Yet ICE is sending at least two detained women who fled Iran there despite their asylum claims. This isn’t immigration policy. It’s state-sanctioned torture.

Wholesome thread.

We really really need to do this. And we all need to agree we need to do this. And we don't start doing this by fucking welcoming in this same shit into the Democratic Party, by copying MAGA only "Leftishly" and thinking it's a good thing. We don't throw out the rules and do ANYTHING to 'win'. No.

So cute. Poor birdie.

I need to refocus. Time to get back to elevating the folks I believe in. That’s where I need to direct my energy. I’ll start with one of the best, Rep. Lauren Underwood.

@bruceshark.bsky.social Did you see my wee baby kitty collage? It will brighten your day.

Boosting again for my friend ❤️🐺

When will white voters understand that a candidate with no experience is absolutely free to spout whatever big ideas and platitudes they want because they’ve never had to test whether or not they could get anything done.

Congratulations to Xavier Becerra. I am excited to offer him all the support I can as he sets out to become our state’s next governor, and I look forward to standing with him as California makes history by electing our first Latino governor in 150 years.

Everyone needs some cute today so am sharing some of the photos of my cat when he was just a wee little one because he was ADORABLE and this made me smile.

Genevieve McDonald worries that Democrats are learning "to excuse what we should condemn." www.bangordailynews.com/2026/06/09/p...

Those people claiming the toxic masculinity of Platner isn’t a deal breaker, need to remember why toxic masculinity SHOULD be a deal breaker.

Just last week, three fathers killed their children and the mothers who raised them. Two of them used guns. America’s domestic violence crisis goes hand-in-hand with its gun violence crisis. We must address both, now.

Support is needed to keep this business open!

I’m sharing this with you @deardean22.bsky.social before bed as retribution for your last few food-related posts.

(1/3) @yobencohen.bsky.social built a company -Ben & Jerry’s- that refused to separate its commercial business and its social mission, and for nearly five decades Ben has proven that business can make a profit while doing the right thing.

Blake's piece in full. I knew the general outlines, but Blake's piece has a meticulousness, thoroughness, and vividness that exceeds all previous reports. It includesinterviews with victims/survivors and made the UK reopen their investigations.

So, I could use some connections if anyone has them. I moved to Pennsylvania for a remote job that required me to not be in California. Great job! But, my housing I arranged has fallen apart. My second housing fell apart. I’ve been in and working from a hotel since April waiting on housing. But,

So I have an AirTag collar on my cat. Apparently, I’ve now trained him to come running when it goes off. Somehow, he knows he’s in trouble if he hears the sound. I need to try and get video because it’s hilarious.

Yes. Please.

So, call me crazy, but I also don’t think you should be “yanking” your kids out of the car and “locking” them in their rooms. But, you DEFINITELY shouldn’t equate a partner with a child.

Rewatching the Firefly series and didn’t realize until now that Zac Efron played young Simon. Also, Firefly was 24 years ago?!??!!
