David Brooks being in the Epstein pics reminded me he got divorced from his wife of 28 years for sleeping with his 20 year old research assistant, but I'd forgotten *this* was the book she assisted him with lol

@thenogoodcrowd.bsky.social I needed some Rock 'N Roll tonight! Great sets @Philadelphia Brewing Co.

Call me Ismael. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

This is what democracy looks like! A people united will never be defeated. We want federal forces out of DC NOW! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC

When Republicans say the quiet part out loud..... For once, Mike Lee actually told the truth about their agenda. #HandsOffOurSocialSecurity

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape. Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

Today’s front page of The National, a Scottish newspaper.

Hey, Philly Socialists

How soon until Trump gets SCOTUS to agree to defund themselves?

Brown is the bravest Justice. She's not waiting years to speak up. She is a fully qualified justice and has a right and a duty to speak now. Brown knows she is not on SCOTUS to be collegial, but to serve the best interests of the American people. Clearly, she is not on the payroll.

I should be asleep, but can’t stop thinking about a striking sanitation worker I met today. He told me about the time a trash bag full of human shit burst in his face, and he had to spend two days in the hospital to ensure he hadn’t contracted any dangerous diseases. He makes $19 an hour.

Keep in mind: are helping break the strike by dropping off your trash at the centers. DC33 literally does the dirty work of our city.

@bradlander.bsky.social If you run again @schumer.senate.gov I will leave Philly and return to my hometown of Staten Island and vote for you.

Please share this. Friends of the Everglades are organizing a protest to stop Alligator Alcatraz. Join us we have coalition members traveling overnight to be there by morning. Where: Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, 54575 Tamiami Trail When: Saturday, June 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

🚨BREAKING: #MitchMcConnell was just publicly confronted in the Senate hallway by young people for GUTTING #Medicaid and green jobs while accepting $3M from Big Oil. He looks like a deer in headlights! We need more of this‼️

Th US is on life- support, but at least the Eagles won the Superbowl.

This admin will not stop here. Will T appoint the next President of UVA? The funding will probably still be taken away anyway.

"growing consensus among experts [is] that the more money we spend on schools, the better off children are, not simply academically, but in later-life outcomes like higher wages and fewer encounters with the criminal justice system." www.aft.org/ae/summer202... @aft.org @aftnewjersey.bsky.social

All women and now all Trans kids need to rely on their states to decide what is good for them. Bodily Autonomy is a human right and this decision is a disgrace.

Trump's shitty birthday parade vs. awesome No Kings protest, tragedy in Minnesota, naming military bases after Confederates again, slap-fight over Iran between Tucker Carlson and Mark Levin, and why the war reminds us of the Bay of Pigs. Tune In! www.youtube.com/watch?v=557z...

The new Progress Pondcast with my buddies @booman23.bsky.social and @brendancalling.bsky.social is up. Find it in all the best podzones in the realms, but here's my link: pca.st/episode/1d6e...

@fetterman.senate.gov you had an awful lot to say about CA protesters, but crickets on the murdered politician in MN?

A cop doing the right thing? I think that i might need my fainting chair!

Congratulations to our students, families, & members on finishing out another school year! We're here by choice because we love our city 🥨🗽 Now, let's win a contract that makes working conditions less challenging & helps the District draw the staff needed to fill vacancies next school year! #PhlEd

My Olney office will be holding evening office hours on Tues 6/24 from 4:30pm to 7pm (by appointment only). If you can't make it during regular hours for help with a federal issue, this is a great chance to ask questions, share concerns, or just check in — we’re here to help!

Fascinating, illuminating, eye-popping conversation between @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @gilduran.com about the unholy stew of techbro-fascist-religious delusions bubbling behind the current attacks on democracy

@seiuca.bsky.social I am with you, President Huerta #pft3 #aft

*EVERYONE EXCEPT FETTERMAN HAS SIGNED ON* Over 30 Dems have signed onto Welch’s resolution to bring aid in immediately. 10 haven’t. If you can’t even stand up for not starving kids, you are utterly useless. You belong in a war tribunal, not in the halls of Congress.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Can we start a discussion: Let's stop saying "Trump" and say "Republicans." Trump can accomplish little without the action / inaction of his Republican enablers.

Philly is PRO Union, ANTI Fascist, and ANTI Trump.

@septa-social.bsky.social Is L stopping g at City Hall right now?

Thanks, Republicans!

King Leopold.

I just subscribed to 5 Calls Newsletter! buttondown.com/5calls

Abhorrent order. Who let their little girls near that man? Examine the look on his face. How would you describe it?

@schumer.senate.gov Stop pontificating and dithering. Use every tool at your disposal to block EVERY SINGLE Republican appointee. Have a coffee with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and get him to do the same. Please remind him that Jesus is NOT at the wheel. Get out of the backseat and drive.

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

Hi. We haven't met, but I thought you would want to know: Your son dropped out of college and is hanging out with a much older man- a meth head who gives the Nazi Salute. Go down to DC and collect him.

Federal workers: Do you trust that Republicans will honor your deal?

Trump Administration Cancels Flights for Refugees Republicans are all in on this. "These are people who followed all the rules and who are now left in danger,” said Ms. Plummer. “It’s heartbreaking.”

On Capitol Hill, Only a Handful of Republicans Object to Jan. 6 Pardons I guess Blue Lives (don't actually) Matter to Republicans.

Unsurprising news of the day: Pete Hegseth beat his wife and Republicans are unmoved.

Let's push Dem Senators to fight against the most egregious nominees. If they don't, it underscores the argument that "both parties / all politicians are same." Please share with your networks: we need to help US senators find their scruples and backbone.

Regarding Hegseth: I choose the bear.

"Stop asking why schools don't have bulletproof glass and metal detectors at all the doors. Ask why schools have to. That's the question that needs to be asked,” Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes

McConnell, you knew this was coming, right?
