One of the quiet bright moments of lockdown was Sam Neill serenading us on the ukulele. This type of tenderness feels rare nowadays, how lucky we were. Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️

“The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.” Fleeing. The vehicle was driving away. That’s murder. A legal resident of the United States is now dead. The threat to public safety is ICE. It must be eliminated.

This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.

Oh, honey . . . We’re not even going to be talking about Lindsey Graham next week.

Scientists and medical professionals have done the research: permanent standard time is healthier and safer than permanent daylight savings time.

TRUMP going to announce some bullshit about foreign election interference in the 2020 election on Thursday. Probably so he can attempt to interfere in this year’s election. Drop a follow if you think he stole the 2024 election.

ICE continues to murder humans Any moving vehicle is now considered a weapon "weaponized" Basically Anyone with A car A phone A camera A voice A cardboard sign Are ALL WEAPONS That they use to justify their brutal actions, their fatal actions ICE - GESTAPO apnews.com/article/ice-...

It's not radical to believe everybody in the richest country in the world should have healthcare. It's not radical to believe we shouldn't send our money abroad to bomb people when we need money for our schools here. It's not radical to believe corporations shouldn't be able to buy politicians.

I can pretty much post this every week after each new death where there remains zero accountability for any of the agents or their supervisors. Lowered standards, unqualified people, rushed through shortened training, toxic culture & leadership, lots of weapons. A perfect storm.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

If you think this is a real photo, I have a bridge in Kentucky to sell you.

Write a horror story in 6 words. I’ll go first: Mike Lee’ll be Judiciary Committee chairman.

California AG Rob Bonta is holding a press conference now about his lawsuit challenging Paramount-WBD. The twelve states bringing the suit say the combination is the "largest in Hollywood history" and just plain too big

Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing for AG is Wednesday. World Without Exploitation put up billboards in Texas, North Carolina, and Louisiana, targeting senators seen as most likely to break ranks. The message: Vote no, over Blanche’s mishandling of Epstein survivors, and release all of the files.

Nicole Kidman, who starred alongside Sam Neill in ‘DEAD CALM,’ pays tribute to the late actor. “We met when I was just 18 and he took me under his wing and we stayed friends for life. He was charming, kind, funny and intelligent. He will be greatly missed, and my heart goes out to his family.”

Marco Rubio: “That’s the law. It’s an international waterway. No country is allowed to charge tolls on an international waterway. That’s international law. That’s the way it is all over the world, and that’s the way we expect it will be here.” Trump: “We’re charging tolls.”

We should have learned that you can’t manage a public health crisis by ignoring it. Politicizing science and weakening disease surveillance doesn’t make threats disappear, it only makes us less prepared to respond.

We must unlink the US & Netanyahoo's regime. We can support Jewish people, but not him and his ilk.

A border wall through Big Bend would be a monument to corruption. Local law enforcement opposes it — because it won’t make anyone safe. It’ll only make out-of-state contractors rich. We don’t need a corrupt wall. We need common sense border security.

ALERT: More trouble for Todd Blanche today. Attorneys for @katiephang.bsky.social ask Judge Emmet Sullivan to issue a $1000/day fine against Blanche until Blanche adheres to court order to release more Epstein files (Blanche refused to do so by July 2 deadline)

Fresh vision. Bold leadership. A brighter future for all Coloradans. #Philforgovernor #COpolitics

Rest in peace to one of cinema’s most outstanding artists; the legendary actor Sam Neill (1947–2026)

Ana Navarro: Let’s remember that lCE has kiIIed before, just kiIIed again today. A lot of times has lied about it, has explained it in a way that does not fit the video that we see and, testimony from people on the ground. Over 52 people have died in lCE custody.

CARTOON OF THE DAY #AbolishICE (From @dennisgoris.bsky.social )

We need to BAN,, the Republican Party,, for the VERY SAME REASON,, Germany had to ban the Nazi Party. ————————— MIDTERMS ARE ABOUT ENDING THE LUNACY!!

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

⚡️ ‼️ Ukraine stopped losing the war the day it stopped sharing intelligence with the United States. 🤔 🙅‍♂️ No, that wasn't a coincidence. 😠 🐶

Why shouldn’t senators vote to confirm Todd Blanche? Let me count the ways. (also, some procedural trivia on the steps for confirmation, starting with the committee vote which is a little less certain following Lindsey Graham’s death). open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Democratic leaders spent the weekend praising Lindsey Graham's "wit." Not one of them mentioned the people his budget helped bury. Their voters wanted a fight. They got idolatry. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

I hate to say this but I agree this is what they want to do!! 😡

Now we’re going to charge tolls for the Strait of Hormuz? It would be funny if it weren’t so sad. He’s flailing. Absolute fucking clown show:

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Let’s do it. Fuck ‘em. - We can build a wall. - Remove all military bases. - Sever all rail, road and air traffic. - Forbid them from using the dollar. - No FEMA, Social Security or Welfare money. - Cancel all passport held by Texans. - Withdraw U.S. citizenship from all Texan insurrectionists .

BREAKING: the Judge in the bogus Trump v IRS case that resulted in the $1.7b slush fund has SANCTIONED the attorneys, referred Blanche, Woodward, & Brito to the Bar, nullified the “settlement”, and awarded monetary sanctions! More to come… storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Note: in some of the pictures there appeared to be bullet holes in the car, Windshield. It is against ICE policy to shoot into a vehicle.

More questions than answers right now. Mainers deserve a full, transparent investigation and clear answers about what happened. THIS is why federal immigration agents must be required to wear a body cameras. How many more people will be gunned down by this lawless, unaccountable agency? #ICEOUT

ICE is a menace to democracy and its murderous conduct should be soberly considered. But we should also recognize that these people are weak and sad and ought to be made fun of. Read more: www.theverge.com/policy/96430...

Laura Dern pays tribute to Sam Neill. “Sam was my beloved lifetime friend. He showed me the depths of loyalty, protectiveness and love, always with the driest wit. He was a true and noble gentleman, wrapped up in my dream leading man. I will love you forever, Dr. Alan Grant.”

Saw a few GOP lawmakers recently. The level of hate for Nancy Mace is much much higher than I ever knew. From members of congress to staffers. I’ve never threatened to sue a former staffer. She basically does that daily. The country will be better off when she leaves

Tonight the Senate is voting to start debate on the annual defense bill. It's essentially an Iran War authorization bill. A totally unprecedented 50% increase in spending to fund the war without any meaningful restraints. I'm voting NO.

BREAKING: huge victory for our 35 judges in the slush fund case *Knocks out any legal basis for the $1.8B *Also undermines the accompanying settlements *And opens the way to ethics & financial SANCTIONS H/t to cocounsel @democracydefendersaction.org, Platkin LLP & Susman Godfrey

Second body in a week. Houston? Wrong guy…just driving his crew to work. No bodycams, naturally. Now Maine…the eleventh ICE killing since Trump took office. Ask "why are you here?" and you get silence. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s a firing squad…with a budget.

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED, HILLARY....
