Juneteenth seems to have become the super bowl for covert racists who hope people get confused by assertions like "republicans freed the slaves" and that you don't know how to google "southern strategy" and that you can't read or remember historical context about anything.

GOV. ANDY BESHEAR CRITICIZES ICE RAIDS!!

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities. We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication. This is inhumane and illegal.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower court order that allowed the head of a key federal whistleblower agency to remain in office after President Donald Trump attempted to fire him without cause.

Happy Public Schools Week! As a former teacher, I know that public schools are not just where our kids go to learn - they’re the center of our communities. That’s why I was proud to make the largest investment in public schools in state history.

Listen to this powerful young woman speak. #JessicaDenson youtube.com/live/A-cleNp...

The U.S. Attorney for D.C., whose office prosecutes violent crime in the city (because of its lack of statehood), tweeted today that he and his staff were Trump's lawyers.

WATCH: Hegseth accidentally admits they fired all the military attorneys so they won’t be “roadblocks to anything” — then tries to clean it up and quickly move on

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Voters: maybe cheaper eggs? ICE: here’s some ASMR of us pushing Humpty Dumpty out of a helicoptor

Second round of layoffs at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency definitely happening now. I've heard from at least two laid-off employees tonight.

Trump is is giving Elon Musk $400M to build a bullet proof Tesla while also defunding school lunches and meals on wheels. Cool dude, huh?

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Keep speaking your truth. Be unafraid, & even if you are afraid, let that fear set fire to your heart. Know ur friends are right there with you, even if they’re quiet. So, be loud for them + for yourself, be loud as fuck for all to hear! Let them get sick of hearing you, and let yourself keep going.

In the last two academic years, 2022/2024, at least 17,600 jobs have been lost in UK Higher Education. 2024/2025 is set to be far worse. Had this been any other industry there would be outrage and gov action. As ever, young people don't count and neither do university workers. Labour doesn't care.

plot twist: there is no such thing as bluesky and we're all in the same psych hospital making typing motions into our mashed potatoes

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

The richest man in the world is sitting at the Resolute desk, about to defund your public school. Trump should stop him.

RUTHERFORD COUNTY Commissioner Michael Kusch (R): “Statistics are like a woman in a bikini — what you see is pretty interesting, but what you don’t see is what’s really critical.” 🫣 (He was saying he doesn’t trust MTSU’s economic impact study for the landfill)

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

protests are happening nationwide tomorrow at every state capitol if you’re able, you should be at yours

Scene at Treasury

Listen. I know we are all aware and vigilant, but WE NEED TO CHECK HIM. His ‘plan’ is to try & crash and burn this shit into the ground, but WE WILL NOT LET HIM, because we do NOT BELIEVE HIM. He actually does NOT have all the power he portends to hold, it’s sand in his hands and he knows it. 1/

Do yourself and democracy a favor. Support independent media.

This is exactly why we all need to support independent media.

Republicans want you to hit your kids instead of giving them health care

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

[restaurant] me: wow, my side salad is amazing salad I'm married to: you piece of shit

nearly twelve years ago, I tweeted “wook it up on googoo.” I no longer hold these beliefs. now I implore us all instead to go outside, finding the nearest vista. get on the ground, feeling the earth’s support, and take a vow to no longer seek answers. as answers can only be evident within siwence

Welp. Turns out electing an unstable maniac is a bad idea after all.

Oh. The LA Times is editing out negative parts of an article about RFK Jr. that say he's unfit for Secretary of Health and Human Services. If you haven't canceled your subscription already, you should.

It's actually theft of taxpayers money when websites go dark. We paid for that data

Oh look. A President, a Governor, a Mayor - all at the crash site at the Chesapeake Bay with first responders. Not swimming. Showing empathy and leadership.

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

At the EPA, employees hired within the past year have been notified that “the agency reserves the right to terminate you immediately,” without justification. Reports suggest that demonstrating loyalty to the current administration’s agenda may improve the chances of retaining employment.

NEW from NBC’s Vaughn Hillyard: “This week, USAID officials removed the artwork [of the agency’s various global missions] from the walls of USAID offices because…[officials] would be evaluating what appeared on the walls to ensure it aligned with the new administration’s ‘America First’ mission.”

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.
