ICE agents must be tried for the murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.

Rule of law in shambles out here

This is who Trump's immigration crackdown is actually targeting. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. No criminal record. A work permit application in progress. 35 years of building homes and raising a family. Shot and killed by ICE in his van. Remember his name.

Hey @grahamformaine.bsky.social, let’s try this again: Stop. You no longer have our consent. It’s not up to you. You need to leave. NOW.

I think the Platner thing hit me so hard bc it was one of the most protracted, widespread acts of misogynist gaslighting from my own side that I've seen. We were presented with an obvious violent scumbag who was constantly lying (badly, might I add) and told we were crazy for not loving him

“Writing, “Texans deserve better than Ken Paxton’s moral rot’… “

The Houston Chronicle, largest newspaper in Houston endorse James Talarico! 👏 Writing, “Texans deserve better than Ken Paxton’s moral rot’… Paxton’s documented deeds prove he’s a man of low character, lacking integrity. An extremely very poor candidate for an even more powerful political office.

When Republicans choose to take a position on this, know that it's based on racism.

Suing our way to justice is the most AMERICA, FUCK YEAH thing ever. It was never a red card. And it's never "classy" or whatever to just eat injustice like there's nothing you can ever do about it. www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb...

I think about this quote every single day and I think about how much potential we, as humans and as a country, have lost because of hate. Our Constitution and institutions would be so much stronger right now if they were also built with Natives, Black people, and women as equals.

I don’t need an Independence Day message from Donald Trump. The day he pardoned the first J6 insurrectionist, he forfeited any claim to patriotism.

“We were in a period of renewal and relief, and today we’re in a period of fear and loathing,” said Alter. “We don’t have any reason to celebrate our founding documents, because we’re living in an authoritarian state that is quite different from the one that the founders created.”

It's unthinkable that a U.S. Senator would vote against releasing the Epstein files instead of demanding accountability. But that's exactly what Jon Husted did. Even worse, just weeks before that vote, Husted accepted a maximum campaign contribution from one of Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators.

“Against this backdrop, Fox News has valiantly tried to put positive spin on the fair, like White Star Line claiming people had enjoyed a very pleasant four days at sea before the Titanic hit that iceberg.”

The legal arguments for Trump's birthright citizenship executive order are vapid and embarrassing. Multiple lower court judges legit laughed DOJ lawyers out of the room. The fact that four Supreme Court justices twisted themselves into logical pretzels to buy it is a constitutional emergency.

The Constitution says that children born in the United States are citizens of the United States. A guy who jokes about pubic hairs on Coke cans says that they are not. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

you do not have to immediately go “this will also hurt cis people” when there is transphobic legislation/law passed. y’all are not the targets and it is enough that we are like yes, that is a knockon effect and it is bad, but it is not the fucking point

But seriously, isn't selling pardons for a million dollars each literally illegal? If not it should be. And it's definitely impeachable. We should not let this be the new norm.

Competitive high school sports are not about gladiatorial domination; they exist to teach kids teamwork, comradery, promote exercise, and give them a sense of accomplishment. I can think of no better way to accomplish those goals than to compete alongside our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings.

we are one john roberts heart attack away from the complete dissolution of the reconstruction amendments and instantiation of a formalized caste system

This is not today's most important news but THAT IS THE POINT. Anyone who doubts that the Roberts Court deliberately hides their most partisan rulings with careful timing should consider how little reporting there is today on NRSC v. FEC. It gives Republicans a major boost in November's elections.

One wonders if Brett Kavanaugh was protecting Debbie Ramirez’ right to access education free from sex discrimination when he allegedly took his dick out and shoved it in her face at a party at Yale.

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

I'm so thankful to Becky and her mom for their trust, generosity, and strength in front of the Supreme Court. No matter what the Court says, Becky is a hero for standing up for herself and trans girls like her. Doing what's right, even when the odds are against you, is the definition of courage.

BREAKING: Today, the Supreme Court upheld discriminatory, anti-trans sports bans in West Virginia and Idaho, allowing these states to leave transgender student athletes behind simply for who they are. All kids deserve the freedom to be, to play, and to belong. Full stop.

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.

I'm just a small-town political scientist, frightened & confused by the ongoing casual media normalization of the lawless authoritarianism, but it seems that the wild illegality & unconstitutionality of this should be mentioned somewhere in the hed, dek, lede, or main text of this very long article.

The United Nations is calling for independent investigations after at least 50 people have died in ICE custody since President Trump began his second term. The death rate is higher than it's been in over a decade, and this year is already on track to be worse than 2025. This is unconscionable.

Disability rights are civil rights.   We will not allow decades of progress toward inclusion, independence, and empowerment for people with disabilities to be undermined.   Illinois will continue building on that progress, not retreating from it.

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

The Supreme Court is handing Trump a blank check for his cruel agenda to expel those fleeing violence and disaster. This is not commonsense reform — it’s only fueling Trump’s desire to attack people because of their skin color.

SCOTUS' decision today to allow Trump to end protections for millions of TPS holders is a betrayal of American values and a rubber stamp for the President’s cruel and inhumane immigration agenda. This devastating ruling will tear apart families and hurt critical industries in Massachusetts.

I think the reason the Reflecting Pool is getting so much reaction is because it's a tangible metaphor for all the failures of this regime. It's a physical manifestation of toxicity, vanity, cost, error, and assigning blame.

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

Republican Mike Lawler using partial support of LGBTQ rights as a bid to appear more moderate is empty and shameless. He does not care about LGBTQ equality. His voting record reflects that. Do not fall for his desperate pandering. He’s worried about reelection, and he should be.

What are the odds of TWO master orators married to one another? Listening to them speak was uplifting, inspirational and exhilarating. A reminder of another, better time when leaders spoke to our better angels & offered hope & optimism rather than divisive vulgarisms. #ChangeIsComingNovember3rd

When you are paying $765 million to companies to get them to cancel clean, renewable energy projects, you are screaming to the world that you are a corrupt fossil fuel lobbyist bitch who does not give a damn about what's best for America. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/c...

He signed an unconditional surrender at Versailles? Come the fuck on.

A Michelle Obama Appreciation Post: I deeply admire your elegance, graciousness, beauty, accomplishments, relatability & effortless class. Thank you for being one of the greatest First Ladies of all time!🙏 Much ❤️ from one of your countless fans, Mar🐫

Michelle Obama appreciation post, our forever First Lady. 💙

I take it she’s not a smoker

They really let a UFC fighter call our only Black First Lady a man on the White House lawn at an official White House event … while thousands cheered and the biggest podcaster in the world smiled. There is no economic policy fix for this. Many of these people are just racist.

The first thing I wrote about Vance after he got the nomination was that he was from "the authoritarian wing of the authoritarian party." His conduct in office bears that out www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

Trump is Israel's cuck. Netanyahu knows it, and that's why he will continue sabotaging any ceasefire or potential peace. Trump is stuck. There's a reason no American President joined Israel in Iranian regime change, until of course, this dumbass.

Um…🤷🏻‍♀️ bsky.app/profile/spen...

The year is 2026. The White House is hosting a UFC fight on the lawn. Sponsored by Monster Energy Drink. It just doesn't get any tackier than that.

Imagine Hitler retweeting Stalin

New data reveals that New World Screwworm, a severely dangerous flesh-eating maggot, is spreading throughout Texas. This comes months after Ken Paxton supported cutting Screwworm monitoring programs.
