🤣 but also yes, release the Epstein Files!

Every single American will be paying almost $59 each to bailout Argentina. Is that what you voted for? #MakeArgentinaGreatAgain

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

So Trump gets DOJ to drop an obvious bribery case against Tom Homan, then fires the US Attorney who found insufficient evidence to prosecute Letitia James, then threatens to fire Pam Bondi and replace her with dunce Lindsey Halligan unless she immediately indicts his enemies.

George Carlin & his 7 words are rolling in his grave rn - we have volumes of case law re: comedic license, comedic right to satire & jokes, & the basic right to talk shit about public figures w/o fear of defamation lawsuits. Also if Cuban Rafael Cruz from Canada is against it, then it’s pretty bad.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

Unraveling our rights, our protections, our freedoms, and they’re using shadow dockets and threats of war on blue US cities to hide it from us. If you weren’t concerned before - you really really should be now.

Even insinuating war is deeply concerning. He will do literally anything to distract us while he takes more freedoms away, punishes innocent people, ruins our economy, and tries to revert the US to its colonial era where only straight white men had a voice.

The comments tho 🤣☠️🤣☠️ #ineededagoodlaughtoday

New Jersey Attorney General Platkin: As I sit here today, I don’t know who is in charge of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in my state…

@rokhanna.bsky.social: “Only 3% of the documents given to the [House] Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling.” khanna.house.gov/media/press-...

Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

California Dems’ proposed counter to GOP gerrymandering in Texas is here. Now, Gov. Newsom and the legislature have less than 3 months to get their proposal on the ballot and convince California voters to approve it. punchbowl.news/article/camp...

DC under military control. Texas detaining officials. ICE disappearing people. President attacking mail-in voting. Only California fighting back.

Today our sweet old gentleman, Duffy, crossed the rainbow bridge. We’re heartbroken and the last time we cried this much was when my heart dog passed a few years ago. Never gets easier to lose a pup. #chocolatelab #rainbowbridge #Imisshimsomuch

FDA held a “hearing” on antidepressants today. Here’s one of their slides. Link to the entire meeting is below. Remember RFKJ’S MAHA report where he said antidepressants are need to go? He wasn’t kidding. Call your electeds and demand RFKJs resignation before he causes even more damage. He must go.

A new report by Human Rights Watch and partner nonprofits released today confirms that migrants at the downtown Miami ICE facility were indeed shackled with hands tied behind their backs, forced to kneel, and made to eat from styrofoam plates “like dogs.”

Crockett: Earlier someone was talking about cities being hellholes. Los Angeles contributes almost 20 billion in taxes. That’s more than all states in this country except for four.

5 Florida state lawmakers who were denied access to the new Everglades immigrant detention center called "Alligator Alcatraz" sued Governor DeSantis on Thursday in state Supreme Court apnews.com/article/flor...

Thanks @jessicavalenti.bsky.social for breaking this down. The GOP’s latest bill would criminalize abortion providers for providing standard healthcare by punishing how fetal remains are disposed—based on false water contamination claims. It’s disinformation and it’s invasive. Read the full piece:

Pam Bondi has lost control of the most fraught relationship any attorney general has, the one with the director of the FBI who, while he technically works for her, has an enormous amount of power he can leverage for his own purposes. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Air quality in the D taking a dip. Be careful if you have to be outside!!

So grateful for the clear, unequivocal witness and voice of Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social who visited the horrifying detention camp in Florida. As he said, “I didn’t see any Russians who’ve overstayed their visas. Only Black & Latino men who look like me.” @maddow.msnbc.com

No hell hot enough.

Each week we hear more and more evidence that, if included in the original case, would have resulted in a “not guilty” for Adnan. Not-so-gentle reminder: wrongful convictions happen every day all around us. Criminal Justice system reform is absolutely necessary. #wrongfulconvictions

When tragedy strikes, Mr. Rogers reminded us to "look for the helpers." Scott Ruskan was one of those helpers, heroically saving 165 lives at Camp Mystic. We’re incredibly grateful to him and to @uscg.bsky.social for their courage and commitment to keeping our communities safe.

NEW: There is a hearing right now concerning Mr Abrego’s amended complaint in which he details his torture at CECOT prison in El Salvador. You can read his account here, but CONTENT WARNING. open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

Vete pal carajo Loomer.

I received this email from the SSA as well. It is a complete lie. Social Security income is still taxed — the Big, Ugly Bill did NOTHING to change that. Welcome to 1984, folks.

Mural of Statue of Liberty in shame unveiled in France the day before 4th of July

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

Coercive control laws take into account nonphysical tactics abusers use to trap their partners. But some worry the new laws will hurt victims.

I don’t care who you are, this is funny 🤣

Britians media overwhelmed by Foreign influence Russia, China, Iran, US and Maga, Oil companies, Oligarchs

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings.   This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

Been looking for my flippy floppies for like 20 mins, and who even cares that I’ve found them when the boys are snuggled up like this: #weimaraner #cocoalabrador #snugglypups

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson. Tilson sits at a whopping .8%. Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

Over the years, I’ve been testing several ways to make a neater fix of an accidental yarn over. Eventually, I settled on the way explained in this tutorial. www.10rowsaday.com/neater-yarno... #knitting #knit #knitsky #knittingsky #handknit #beginnerknitter #knitwear #handmade #justknitting

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

I keep putting up this article and personally given the CDC announced 1 in 5 in the US a few years back I think this is a big undercount. I don’t think there is enough information on what #Longcovid is. As it’s so frowned upon to even talk about it I think many more are not wanting to 🧵

To quote our teenage son: “Bro, WTF.”

@evidenceprof.bsky.social dropped the Bombshell and wow. Just wow. For everyone out there doubting Adnan’s innocence and claiming he already had a fair trial, do these new facts change your beliefs? Or are you so set in your ways that nothing will ever change your mind, even new evidence and facts?
