The second person that ICE "warned" about their protected speech has filed a First Amendment lawsuit. The complaint, linked in this story, does a nice job making ICE look both menacing and incompetent www.npr.org/2026/07/06/n...

On July 6, 2024, Sonya Massey was killed in her own home in Springfield, Illinois, a mother, a daughter, a friend, gone at 36. Today we honor and remember her. Rest in power, Sonya. We will never stop saying your name. 🕊️

There's a reason Greta stopped shaking their hands and doing press tours with politicians because she grew up and realized they were all in on climate change and just represent oil and gas interests

Everybody: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce should use their fame and influence to speak out on behalf of the marginalized and oppressed! Swift and Kelce: *invite ICE contractor Steven Demetriou to their wedding* Everybody: What the fu..?

Today my brother called me to say he found our dad unresponsive and drooling, slumped over in the car. My brothers and their extended friend group that think of our dad as their dad too, got him to the hospital in time. We were all worried about a stroke but he was dehydrated & his pressure dropped.

"In addition, we captured the other two Dark Triad traits of Machiavellianism (α = 0.84) and psychopathy (α = 0.73) to determine whether narcissism remained a distinctive, incremental predictor of remote work resistance above and beyond these two other socially aversive traits."

6 years of research: "The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism—the tendency to be self-centered & entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status—& the more they favored return-to-office mandates."

In case you missed it, read our original investigation:

NEW: Ten members of Congress have warned the secretary of defense that the Trump administration’s gutting of a program focused on shielding noncombatants puts service members in peril, erodes the military’s moral standing and may violate federal law.

NEW: The ICE office that customarily probes employee misconduct is being refocused to investigate ICE critics, opening hundreds of "doxing and threat" cases and subpoenaing tech companies to unmask anonymous posters. Detention facility inspections, meanwhile, are plummeting. by @regret.bsky.social

I am devastated by the death of Tibetan freedom activist Lobga Rangzen. As we mourn his loss, we continue to fight for human rights in Tibet and across the globe. My heart is with his loved ones and our entire Tibetan community in NY-14.

“In Jim Comey’s misguided attempt to preserve the independence of the FBI, he set in motion a series of events that has basically undone the 50 years of reform and traditions and independence that had been carefully carved out and guarded since Watergate." — @vermontgmg.bsky.social

Imagine the best player on France's soccer team was suspended but a day before a game against the US soccer team, the French President calls FIFA and they end the suspension. We would of course all be screaming this was corruption! That is how the world all sees this.

people need to go to jail over this, its the only thing the democratic party should be saying right now. all of them, in unison, no matter the question or topic, needs to be saying “insider trading is against the law”

So utterly corrupt

Fun fact: Folarin Balogun is a birthright citizen. His parents, Nigerians living in London, visited the USA 25 yrs ago. Because his mom was 7 months pregnant, the airline wouldn’t let her fly home, so Folarin was born in Brooklyn. Trump fought his red card, but he’d readily strip his citizenship.

Democrats running for President in 2028 must commit to investigating Trump and his family for their corruption! We've never seen a family corruptly profit off White House like this ever before. Trump has no immunity for this. They must be prosecuted to gurantee it never happens in the the future!

New in PN with @juddlegum.bsky.social: How Kalshi infects the news "Since last December, both CNBC & CNN have promoted Kalshi to viewers extensively, frequently vouching for its accuracy. The existence of financial ties between the networks & Kalshi, however, is disclosed to viewers inconsistently"

Trump is clearly wishing for his own "Reichstag fire" so that he can follow Hitler's playbook and blame his political opponents for the fire that burned down German's Parliament. Then like Hitler, Trump will ban the opposition party, arrest his his political opponents and curtail dissent.

Trump has now decided to make communists his new focus. Where do we see a leader do that in his rise to becoming a dictator? Oh Yeah Hitler. And then Hitler broaden the definition of communist to include all who oppose him. Reminder that first people Hitler put into camps were political opponents.

A message from Ms.Rachel that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce should hear, even if they don’t have babies yet:

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

The Republican Party is a big tent, consisting of people who are pedophiles and people who protect them.

There are estimates that about 3-400 thousand Palestinians have been killed, with only 70 thousand identified so far. Only 1.5-1.6 million remain alive; forced to endure the most degrading humiliations and brutality known to man. And still people argue over whether this constitutes a genocide.

Israel has crushed the remaining Palestinian 2.1 million population of Gaza into 50 square miles with virtually no functioning water, sewage or electricity networks. That's about 42,000 per square mile. It looks like this; (Satellite images of Khan Yunis early 2026)

all members of the city counsel should be forced to ride their bicycles at least 50 miles in city limits a year or risk getting their DL suspended. that would fix a lot of the bike lane and walkability issues FAST. we'd see actual measures taken for safety and accessibility for everyone

Looking at the week ahead, Elias Law Group is litigating 80 voting and election cases in 40 states (plus DC). This is a lot of work for a small firm of 60+ lawyers. When we fight we can win!⚖️🗳️💪

Texans, vote for Gina Hinojosa! She hangs out with Willie, she doesn't want to kill pregnant women and force feed Christian sharia law down your throats. It's time to push Greg right on out of the governor's mansion in Austin.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

How to understand the Maga language: "There's no proof that Trump raped children" translates to "We know that Trump raped children, but it's not important enough to be a deal breaker." Thank you for your attention to this matter.

DOGE officially self-deleted yesterday, its initiative utterly failing to hit its trillion-dollar deficit reduction targets, with analysts attributing an estimated $11B in net budget LOSSES to payouts from its "Fork in the Road" severance policy. Electing a failed businessman? Worst idea ever.

A REAL photo from Wash DC metro of Trump loving white supremacist group The Patriot Front on a train where a young Black woman is sitting. These fascists then carried confederate flags in streets of Wash DC. This is Trump and MAGA's version of celebrating Independence Day and Making America Great.
