All 3 men inside of the van with Lorenzo Salgado Araujo “‘reiterated that there were never any ICE agents in front of the van…They came in and started shooting from the sides.’” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Mitch’s D.C. house is getting new carpet and tile while he’s been hospitalized for almost a month with zero explanation. Nothing screams “senator’s doing great” like his staff picking out new flooring instead of, you know, a health update. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/212973/...

Sickening and un-American. Watch authoritarianism work.

Call your 2 Senators & your Congressional rep at 202-224-3121 and demand accountability for #ICELawlessness This is a thread with case after case of #ICELawlessness. Please watch & share these videos because while it's scary & depressing, imagine how it is for our immigrant neighbors & friends.

If you arrest a member of the US military for saying that the US government is committing illegal acts against its own people, you should probably be aware that this is not a great PR move for your government's legitimacy

The stated idea of this proposal is to make it easier to close Lafayette Square when necessary while still leaving it accessible to the public most of the time. I think that’s BS as they’re also looking to permanently fence in Pennsylvania Avenue. Restricting access to the people’s house.

"He belongs to us. He belongs to the Constitution." At a Friday press conference, Rep. Al Green and Dem lawmakers outlined strict demands following the fatal ICE shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston's East End. Their top demand: all evidence from the operation must be preserved immediately.

Destroy AI Before It Destroys Us

This should horrify all of us! Women in ICE detention underwent invasive medical procedures without informed consent. Senator Jon Ossoff’s bipartisan investigation called the findings “nightmarish & disgraceful” Everyone deserves dignity, bodily autonomy & human rights! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Once upon a time Republicans demanded long-form birth certificate from Barack Obama. We’re only asking for a 10-second proof-of-life video from Mitch McConnell.

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

Seattle:

Mitch McConnell has consistently demonstrated questionable integrity. He is often referred to as "Moscow Mitch."

Don't get TRAPPED paying for subscriptions you don't want anymore.

If we find out he's been in a coma since mid June, Scott Jennings should be fired immediately.

I've never seen Seattle more alive than the window when the world cup was here. Beyond the specific changes, I would love to see our city mobilize more communal events like the watch parties that would bring people into spaces together around shared purpose.

Come. On.

3 different firms making up 70% of the campaign expenditures & the main one isn’t even listed? LA Clippers ass campaign. nypost.com/2026/07/09/u...

Four weeks. Mitch McConnell has been completely out of public view, hospitalized since mid-June with zero transparency from his office. Is he alive? Brain dead? Recovering? Yet DC reporters can’t be bothered to demand real answers or even basic updates. The media’s selective silence is deafening.

Why are our elected officials on both sides letting this maniac destroy our White House????? WHY

MAGA world is using this “illegal voter” arrest as proof of “Democrat election fraud.” Turns out she’s a donor to a Trump-endorsed MAGA candidate.

So sick and tired of their whining! #Pinks #USDemocracy

Let's face it: ICE is *not* a law enforcement agency. It is a ragtag collection of angry, arrested development vigilantes and malcontents that has gone "Lord of the Flies" on us.

Liking Governor Newsom.......

Vote these monsters out! #ICELawlessness

THINK TN: “After a decade+ of flat or declining electricity consumption, Tennessee’s experiencing its 1st sustained surge in energy demand, driven in part by a rapid influx of data centers whose consumption in Tennessee Valley region grew 7x from 2020-25.” www.thinktennessee.org/press/press-...

So if we don’t allow Athletes to bet on games that they have the ability to influence… Why do we allow Congress to invest in companies they regulate?

Tonight KOMO News is running a story about how much better Bellevue is than Seattle. Right after our success entertaining three quarters of a million people during the World Cup. KOMO is owned by Sinclair.

If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. www.propublica.org/article/fede...

And DHS has been desperately trying to get these three witnesses to self deport. ICE has been using the “weaponized vehicle” excuse to murder people for a decade plus. It’s all coming out now with the microscope on them. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

They would be on loop! #Pinks #USDemocracy

The 14th Amendment, ratified July 9, 1868: “All persons born or naturalized in the U.S., and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the U.S. and of the State wherein they reside.” This includes U.S.-born children of immigrants, as reaffirmed in 1898 by SCOTUS. Remember this.

Expand and reform the Supreme Court.

NEW: Platner told his staff he's not filing his withdrawal paperwork until Monday. The drop-dead date to file. www.axios.com/2026/07/09/g...

RATTNER: “The Trump family has received $13 Billion from the Gulf just since 2024…” Hey piers morgan still not sure if this is on the up and up? 🤷🏼 @timmiller.bsky.social

"In reality, they will, at most, be able to watch election procedures from afar. The reason is deeply ironic: Through legal action in recent years, conservatives have attempted to curtail the federal government’s ability to monitor elections." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

texans should start getting Paxton to drop out over his shitiness

NEWS --> Three men who were in the van with the victim of the ICE shooting in Texas are potential witnesses, but they're now under pressure to self-deport, a rep for the families tells me. They remain in detention even as ICE's story falters. Details in this piece: newrepublic.com/article/2129...

Why does anyone support ICE? Abolish ICE is the only way to go. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

ICE is supposed to be wearing body cams. If they aren’t they should lose any case where they lie that the driver tried to killed them. They should also be fired and maybe they’ll take civil rights more seriously.

It would be a net positive for humanity to see the dissolution and demise of Meta. I doubt it'll happen, but we'd all be better off if it did.

BANKRUPT HIM!

New research indicates that state voter registration lists — a common administration target — are actually accurate and up to date. And both blue and red states are largely doing a good job maintaining their lists. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
