PBS produced a segment with a U.S. correspondent inside Iran about the specifics of what happened to the school that was hit by U.S. tomahawk missiles in Iran. The U.S. government hasn't taken responsibility for the attack. youtu.be/QRSTJIIqzGM?...

The Trump administrations’s widespread and systematic attack upon civilians at sea continues. Killing for kicks and content.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

Happy to share our first campaign ad!! Www.Harrydunnformd.com

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

And there you have it!

1/ At 17 weeks pregnant, Emily Waldorf was suddenly faced with a life-threatening situation: Her baby’s foot was dipping out of her cervix. Doctors told her the longer her cervix stayed open, the higher her risk of infection. They knew how to treat her. There was one issue … 🧵

Livestream at Delaney Hall right now is here. Reporter was just pepper sprayed. www.youtube.com/live/Y4tVhdn...

Holy shit this cartoon.

The Party of We Are Very Serious About Fighting Antisemitism Please Clap folks

Say what you want about Donald Trump, but he never misses an opportunity to be a national fucking embarrassment.

My heart broke to see Americans fighting Americans in our streets yesterday. As I saw ICE agents tackling civilians and firing pepper balls into the crowd, I was overwhelmed by how broken we’ve become. We cannot normalize this violence. Here’s what happened at Delaney Hall: THREAD

Ossoff: "It makes a difference who represents us. When you sent me and Sen. Warnock to the Senate, we capped the cost of insulin at $35. And when Donald Trump and his allies took power again, they threw hundreds of thousands of Georgians off their health insurance. The contrast could not be clearer"

It's amazing, and honestly somewhat relieving, how little interest our audience has in AI. Columns like the one I wrote today just don't garner much interest. I hope this means most people hate AI. Anyhoo, read this column so my life doesn't feel like a waste. Thx! www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Vladimir Putin’s narrative that the war in Ukraine need not trouble Russia’s elites or middle class is “now unraveling completely,” Phillips Payson O’Brien argues. “Any pretense that Moscow itself can stay out of the war has vanished.”

When they go low, we go, “Again?”

NIH has allocated just 33% of its normal budget this year, putting critical medical breakthroughs at risk. Johns Hopkins President Ron Daniels and University of Kansas Chancellor Dr. Douglas Girod are calling on the government to release it before the damage becomes permanent. https://bit.ly/4f3GuzR

The more vindictive prosecution dismissals there are, the more evidence that they're on a campaign of vindictive prosecutions that will result in more dismissals.

This is not how democracy works.

ICE's treatment of detainees at Delaney Hall in New Jersey is the latest in a long line of abuses we've seen across the country.

When @kim.senate.gov stood up & called out these abuses, they pepper sprayed him.

Not another dime for this lawless agency.

Okay this is good

Historical perspective.

Trump's polling collapse is more significant than people think. As Trump bleeds non-MAGA Rs and alienates groups he made inroads with in 2024, GOP lawmakers are now genuinely fearing voters that lie outside the MAGA rump. That's something new. Some thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2108...

They want to preclude accountability and transparency. This is so wrong.

Legend drawn by legend.

Talk about reporting!

ICYMI — I went through more than 1,100 lawsuits and found hundreds of Minnesota immigrants detained despite living and working legally in the U.S.

GOP has "abandoned the idea of crafting policy. They are a full-time media operation, trolling and creating content. The president is checked out. There is no turnaround coming as long as Trump/GOP are in power." On the pod, @dceiver.bsky.social nails the moment: newrepublic.com/article/2108...

The opposite of what democracy looks like.

NEW: She Faced a Life-Threatening Miscarriage. Under Arkansas’ Abortion Ban, Even Calls to the Governor’s Office Didn’t Help. Emily Waldorf’s case shows how abortion bans have left hospital lawyers, not doctors, deciding who gets care — and how lawmakers and regulators have failed to change that.

“I talked with a woman who actually had a miscarriage in Delaney Hall and was not given any medical support. I talked with an 18-year-old high school senior who just wanted to be able to graduate this month rather than being in a detention facility.” trib.al/QDUe0bB

In case you have forgotten who Andy Kim is, he’s the rep who came into the Capitol building after Trump’s J6 goons had trashed it, got down in his hands and knees, and cleaned it up. And ICE have gassed him. They have peppersprayed the true patriot who thinks American ideals are worth defending.

Thread

On January 7, 2021, then Congressman Kim was in the Capitol, picking up trash. Mr. Rogers was talking about Senator Kim when he told us to look for the helpers.

Stop this crap. The Boss is a patriot and a hero.

Lunacy.

Why? And no.

This must end. Abolish ICE and free them all.

Again, straight from Delaney Hall in Newark NJ: ICE just tear gassed Senator Andy Kim.

ICE lied to a U.S. Senator and tear gassed him.

Taking the L … And Trump’s Long Iran Walk Into the Twilight

They didn't die while serving in the military, but they died protecting our freedoms from those who would destroy them, nonetheless. Remembering these heroes on this Memorial Day.

This, always and every day and no matter what, THIS. Right now many things are terrible, they would be a lot more so were there not so many people doing so many things in in hope, in defiance, in solidarity.

They did this despite the fact that Martin Soto has a no transfer order.
