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

“No matter how cognitively impaired & reckless the convicted felon becomes, he will never become less cruel, cheap or hostile to justice and the rule of law.

There's an abundance of evidence that for the last 50 years at least Dems are MUCH better for the economy. They need a unified message, simple and full of facts, and all of them need to repeat it over and over again.

They hate birthright citizenship because that is the bedrock principle that makes us something other than a blood-and-soil nation where the government can tell you whether or not you *really* belong.

Once again, I am just a small-town international relations professor, standing here, begging our media & our Congress to take our most important signed, ratified international treaty seriously & threats by the One Special Boy to violate it as the presidency-ending scandal that it should have been.

Social media makes the anti science, anti vax crowd seem much larger than it is. Surveys show it’s actually a very small share of the public greatly outnumbered by science believers. My new column: on.kff.org/4wthpni

Today is yet another good day for everyone in the national media to ask the 20 people in Washington who can end this all immediately - all of whom are Republicans in Congress - why they do not care about their oaths, US national security, or our most important signed & ratified international treaty

If you do a story on prison/detention commissary, include a comparison of minwage alongside incarcerated wage. If you're paid $1 day, it will take you 21 days of labor to afford 40 tampons. This math matters even more than markups.

Illinois is leading the nation with the strongest AI safety law for our people.

Texas AG Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he didn't live while voting in 6 elections in the past 2 years, violating election laws... ...maybe someone should look into potential mortgage fraud, since GOP is happy targeting Trump's foes on that. https://bit.ly/4vPC0lM

The US World Cup team went down to its worst defeat since the 1990s after opponents Belgium said they were fired up by a “sense of injustice” following Trump’s interference in the game. After the fourth goal, Belgium posted on social media “Overturn this”.

🎉WIN: A federal appeals court decision could make it harder for the DOJ to obtain states’ voter rolls in time to help them purge voters. The DOJ has yet to win a single court order to obtain unredacted statewide voter data.

Costs are now rising too fast for paychecks to keep up, but on the other hand Trump’s taxpayer-funded ballroom will have a helipad so he doesn’t have to walk on soggy grass anymore.

The USWNT has won FIFA Women’s World Cup a record 🏆🏆🏆🏆 times. They are THE MOST successful team IN the HISTORY of the tournament, earning second-place once & third-place finishes three times in the nine tournaments played so far. And didn't need to cheat to do any of it. Just sayin' #womenssports

“Nativism has proved politically potent enough to carry Trump to the Oval Office twice,” Idrees Kahloon wrote in 2025. Now, “it may be powerful enough to bring net migration down to zero, perhaps for some time.” theatln.tc/azTwXiQL

"As a historian, I know the past is complicated and rarely simple. But on this matter, there is moral clarity: The Nazis were evil, and D-Day was one of the moments of genuine heroism in American history."

Trump's America250 celebration nearly erased every historical accomplishment by anyone who wasn’t a white man. It doesn't (and shouldn't) be this way.

Our country's founding was the greatest experiment in world history. 250 years later, we can recognize that the history of our nation is complicated, and it hasn't been fair to everyone. But patriotism means fighting for the hope of our country – and for a better tomorrow.

The Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship came out the “right” way. So why doesn’t it feel like a win? bit.ly/4p7CUYx

Corporate profits are taking the biggest chunk of America's total income since the early 1950s. Worker compensation is at a historically low share. This is what decades of trickle-down tax breaks for the rich and corporations has given us. It’s not an accident. It’s a scam.

Last month I stopped by Milwaukee's Juneteenth festival—the longest running one in the US!—to talk to folks about what Juneteenth means to them. @civicmedia.us

“This is not ok. We cannot normalize the National Guard killing American citizens. They shouldn’t be in Memphis at all. The family deserves answers.” Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social reacts to the news 2 National Guard troops shot and killed Tyrin Johnson in MEMPHIS.

Baseless criminal prosecutions are the hallmark of Blanche's DOJ—together w/ slavish servitude to Trump That's why @democracydefendersfund.org & 100+ bipartisan fmr. judges filed an ethics complaint against him You expect this from a dictatorship, not the USA @onthelinemsnow.bsky.social -TN

America is done being divided. As one team, we’re unstoppable. Happy Fourth of July!

While the United States marks its 250th anniversary with rallies, parties and fireworks, history's first U.S.-born pope traveled to the Sicilian island of Lampedusa to pray at a migrant cemetery. https://to.pbs.org/4fjnInK

Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans often equate nationalism with patriotism. But this couldn’t be further from the truth.

They came for your ballot. A judge said no. They came for birthright citizenship. The Supreme Court said no. They tried to ram through voter suppression. Their own party killed it. This Fourth of July, the regime is taking Ls.

I haven't been this impressed with a candidate in a l-o-n-g time. If @jamestalarico.bsky.social is the future of the Democratic Party, we are in VERY good shape.
