Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

Whelp, no more Toyotas for our household...

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

1/2 Congress just dropped a so-called “minibus” deal to end the 40-day shutdown but it’s a surrender disguised as progress. It funds veterans and agriculture but abandons the 20 million Americans who rely on ACA subsidies for health care. A Band-Aid won’t fix a bleeding nation.

Lookie what just arrived courtesy of the fine people at Titmouse?

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

We should be seeing Dem ads of ICE raids everywhere, saying "does this look like America to you?" C'mon, @democrats.org these are easy layups.

My wife and I just got back from the horrors of southeast DC. It was terrible. We walked hand in hand, and had ice cream, and everyone was friendly. The most difficult part was deciding between Korean, Peruvian, Salvadorean, or diner food. Such a warzone, these blue cities. I will never understand.

Ted Cruz: "How about we all come together and say let's stop attacking pedophiles?"

SEVEN YEARS ago, Deadspin produced this mashup of dozens of #Sinclair affiliates regurgitating identical scripts. It has only gotten worse. This is why we're targeting advertisers on their stations. Demand they uphold #1A by suspending ads until they air #Kimmel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fHf...

3 years ago I got to visit one of the most amazing cities in an equally wonderful country. I miss you, #Edinburgh.

Damn it, Chobani... you're off the list. franetic.com/chobani-part...

I'm having sesame chicken for dinner, how about y'all

Major Secret Service security failure, as Trump left terrified and panicked by protestors that got within a few feet of him. Lucky for him these were peaceful protestors. Millions of US people have had their lives ruined or endangered by the Trump regime and oppose its fascist rule.

Do not look away

A day in the life of an oddball. Simultaneous shipping notifications for makeup and a winch.

One thing I'll say about AI chat bots used by companies is that it's WAY easier and less frustrating to cancel a subscription with them than it is when they employ call centers.

Now, the U.S. Space Command will not be fully operational for years because the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama lacks the existing infrastructure already available in Colorado. But Alabama is a GOP-dominant state. So, Trump is catering to his base over national security. Yet again.

We just got back from my wife's Vietnamese coworker's housewarming, and they gave the two of us 8 people's worth of leftovers. I love them, and the food they make, but I may die...

It's a wonderful surprise when a current podcast I'm listening to ends and a new @pinkfohawk.bsky.social episode starts playing.

Gonna need Hollywood and other such multimedia writers to start casting DHS/ICE as The Bad Guys in stories from now on.

If you work for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it is your duty as an American and as a federal employee to make sure the truth gets out, even in the face of the administration's efforts to prevent it. Any way you can.

I just want to say thank you to all the wonderful people of #Scotland. May you have the patience to stand with us whilst we try and fight the orange menace here at home.

Trump's big, ugly law makes your life more expensive this year, next year, the year after that, & the year after that. As prices for everything rise, REMEMBER that Trump & the GOP did this to you. Flip Congress to BLUE in 2026. We can afford nothing less.

They just passed a bill that raised the debt ceiling an additional $5 trillion to $41.1 trillion. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

56 years ago today, NASA successfully landed the first humans on the Moon. Today, NASA is being absolutely gutted because the leaders of this country see no need for science--or, specifically, scientific truth.

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Stacey Abrams and Rachel Maddow on what Americans need to do to fight fascism. We need coalitions. That means you won’t agree with everyone and every issue BUT united against fascism we win. Do you really want to defeat fascism or not? All of us need to fight fascism. m.youtube.com/watch?v=7nBK...

I think @tommorelloofficial.bsky.social should make every July 4th playlist if today's on Lithium was any indication.

Happy 4th of July from the Oligarchy 🇺🇸 #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer (H/T @evilpacofficial.bsky.social )

Well, I'M certainly not going to be celebrating today.

Rep Jeffries is using his time to give folks time to keep calling and he’s also giving us the blueprint for what needs to be done for 2026. He’s literally naming names but some of y’all are too busy complaining to notice that. He’s Giving You The Blueprint Pay attention!!!

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;

Alligator Auschwitz. “Detaining” people will never be cruel enough for these monsters. No one will believe we didn’t know. We do.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

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.

“When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.” —Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
