Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

This is the language of dictators.

Check it! 🙌

I am begging political editors at legacy outlets to wait for confirmation before publishing misinformation that contributes to targeting vulnerable people. You don't need to be first on this. I promise you there are things more important than being first. Like your integrity.

Immigrants are not the villain in your story @repcasar.bsky.social

Epstein survivors deserve justice. No matter how powerful the perpetrators

Hate, intolerance, and polarization are rupturing relationships and communities @perilresearch.bsky.social‬ @sethlimmer.bsky.social‬ explains why an all-in public health approach could help end the scourge of targeted violence

The largest rally of Epstein survivors is happening right now. The system tried to silence them, but they’re louder than ever.

Kinda hard to avoid the feeling that the military flyovers taking place over D.C. right now are intentional as ordered to interfere with the Epstein survivors press conference on the Hill. Survivors have paused their remarks until the flyovers pass.

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car. BIG crowd of people shouting at police. "Fuck you!" "What is wrong with you!" "You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.

Berman: Was the President right about the polling? Enten: No. If we are comparing him to other presidents at this point in their presidencies, he is the second lowest on record compared only to himself.

The Brazilian Supreme Court has ordered the house arrest of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is on trial over an alleged plot to overturn the results of the 2022 presidential election.

Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

Why are young boys in school telling their female peers “your body, my choice?” Dr. Cynthia Miller-Idriss joins Jen to discuss the far-right misogyny, influencer culture, and neo-natalist rhetoric shaping young men.

I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing the cost to consumers, and 3) the repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.

To be clear, this now a massive cover up involving the President, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, and the GOP Congress.

the most notable thing about the Politico/Mamdani/Jeffries piece imo is the framing that Mamdani lost somehow. Mamdani is a rising star with broad and enthusiastic support. Jeffries needs him a lot more than he needs Jeffries, even if Jeffries doesn’t get that.

Here’s the real danger for Trump with the Epstein client list and his MAGA base: They’re starting to think, if he lied about this, what else did he lie about?

An endorsement from the largest local union of professional musicians in the world sounds a little different than the others but the meaning is the same: solidarity forever. Thank you Local 802 AFM!

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

Hakeem Jeffries' brother endorses Zohran Mamdani ––>

Speaker Johnson should just take the L on this vote. Most of America doesn’t want this bill to pass anyways. It’s it both the worst and most unpopular piece of legislation in modern history.

People are surprised that Cuomo isn't dropping out of the general election, but it's actually pretty on-brand for him to ignore the consent of others.

It’s not just that Zohran Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo. It’s that he and the voters beat an entire transnational criminal syndicate of power brokers who have had a stranglehold on NYC politics for a very long time. And they’ll be coming after him hard. He’ll need a lot of support—and protection.

With all the turmoil in the world, the urge to tune out, to become desensitized, to accept apathy becomes increasingly compelling.  This week’s Democracy Index explains why we mustn’t give in. @joycewhitevance.bsky.social‬ @joshuakolb.bsky.social @lilyconway.bsky.social‬

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy. Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

We are not a distraction we are real people facing real existential threats

Breaking News: Senator Bernie Sanders endorsed Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor, calling him a “visionary” leader.

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

I, like many of you, am not only devastated but furious at the assassination of two Minnesota lawmakers this morning. This isn’t some isolated tragedy. It’s extremism, it’s fascist violence, and we have to treat it that way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“The road to authoritarianism is filled with people telling you you are overreacting.” @governorwalz.mn.gov speaking at @americanprogress.bsky.social right now

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics. Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

NYT: “If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived.” 😳🇺🇸 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

The videos of an endless line of flatbed train cars carrying tanks into DC have not done wonders for my mood, no.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

More parents and teachers are seeing the signs: boys echoing the darkest corners of the internet. Not Just a Joke is a new guide to help trusted adults intervene before it’s too late. Pasha Dashtgard explains.

I just think there needs to be more attention paid to the uniquely creepy, mendacious, awfulness of Speaker Mike Johnson. Don’t underestimate the depth of his ambition and breadth of what he is willing to do to never return to Shreveport.

Weigel: Authoritarian—that’s a fine word to use. If we were watching Canada do this, or France do this, right now—say, ‘We’re not letting any Americans into the school for political reasons’—we’d probably use that word. So I don’t know why it would be anathema when it’s happening here.
