"“A masked agent in an unmarked car killed Lorenzo in his own neighborhood where he lived for 35 years working and raising a family...This is what unaccountable, unrepentant, unconstitutional enforcement looks like.”

Lena requesting thunder off

Traffic stops or slows for a massive car crash, that's human nature. But we have a chance to amplify and have as Senator an actual GOOD DUDE. Let's look here.

"You don’t pressure witnesses to a shooting to self-deport if your goal is to get to the bottom of what happened." In the same way that the government did not investigate the Minnesota shootings, they will not investigate these shootings.

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Between this and the national guard in Memphis it’s kind of disturbing me (yes I know I’m a member of the media) the degree to which these killings aren’t really breaking thru rn

Trying to pick apart a woman's text messages to prove she's lying about being raped is gutter behavior. Consent can be revoked at any time and reading insinuations into text messages that the sender denies were there is ACTUAL journalistic malpractice. I would not trust a man who does this!

If Dems overcome a tough map & win Pennsylvania’s Senate, they could pass: • Same-day voter registration • Expanded automatic registration • In-person early voting • Expanded mail ballot drop boxes PA could also give the National Popular Vote Compact an Electoral College majority with AZ, MI, & WI

ORGANIZING GETS THE GOODS Trusted sources in Minnesota, Maryland, Kentucky, and North Carolina have told us that @governorwalz.mn.gov @govwesmoore.bsky.social @govandybeshear.bsky.social and @ncgovernor.bsky.social are instructing their National Guard troops to leave DC.🧵

Today, more than two dozen national and local organizations wrote to Governor Whitmer and asked her to recall the Michigan National Guard forces that she sent to Washington, DC, at President Trump’s request. 1/11 www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Maine law gives Graham Platner until 5 PM ET on Monday to drop out of the Senate race in time for Democrats to be able to choose a substitute candidate. If Platner were to try to quit after Monday’s deadline, Democrats would have very limited options for replacing him.

TRINITY RODMAN WINS IT IN STOPPAGE TIME 🚨🚨

Cabo Verde we are with you. thoughts, cheers, and many prayers

underappreciated that the racist and lawless position adopted by 4 justices in the birthright citizenship case a few days ago was considered and rejected by justices in *1898* who were like oh woof that's too racist and lawless even for us ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

With nearly all votes in, Sen. John Hickenlooper won his primary just 53-47. This got far less attention than the left’s outright wins, but it’s historically bad for an incumbent. Only two Dem senators since 1972 have lost renomination to challengers to their left, & he massively outspent Gonzales

I think #bikedc can pump up these numbers

Where are statements from MN progressives @repower.org, @takeactionmn.bsky.social, @ilhanmn.bsky.social, @repilhan.bsky.social, @isaiahmn.org, @faithinmn.org, @keithellison.bsky.social, @mnaflcio.org, anyone opposing the MN National Guard to DC?

#Statehood for the people of DC!

America, the capital city is under military occupation. It’s not about the fountains. It’s not about the Fair. This task force has killed people. They are reinforcing ICE. They are making arrests without legal authority. WAKE UP

There is no team over the years as diverse as the #USMNT

Nineteen retired senior defense and military leaders who served under presidents of both parties have sent an extraordinary letter to 18 governors expressing concern over other governors’ recent deployments of National Guard forces to DC at Trump’s request. 1/8

We limit the speed of ebikes "for public safety", yet this study shows we'd need to limit SUVs to 5.7 km/h for them to pose the same risk to other people #motonormativity findingspress.org/article/1587...

Updated: Over the last 8 days, I'm counting 15 Democratic incumbents who have lost to a challenger to their left. —3 congressmembers (2 NY, 1 CO) —4 state senators (2 in NY, 2 in MD) —8 state house members (5 in NY, 1 in MD, 2 CO) Here's a thread for you to know about all 15 results:

Lena agrees no booms please

I'm so thankful to Becky and her mom for their trust, generosity, and strength in front of the Supreme Court. No matter what the Court says, Becky is a hero for standing up for herself and trans girls like her. Doing what's right, even when the odds are against you, is the definition of courage.

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

The same agents who approached a volunteer at a polling place, again harassing someone over clearly protected speech.

Betrayal of the residents of DC by @demgovs.org - Gretchen Whitmer, @michigandems.bsky.social, @governorwalz.mn.gov, and @andybeshearky.bsky.social. Unconstitutional for Trump to send troops to your states and to police civilians. National Guard is not welcome here. Statehood for the people of DC.

This is always it when it comes to Haiti. They are still mad.

These are the actions of an authoritarian regime, where their agents come to intimidate you if you share public information about how they have killed American citizens

It’s not the whole reason these candidates won, but @indivisible.org deserves huge credit for taking a stand, supporting primary challenges against incumbent Dems. They did this to try to change Congress. Most orgs didn’t have the courage to oppose incumbents. This👇is leadership. 👏

MAZEL TOV @bradlander.bsky.social, THE FIRST JFREJ MEMBER TO BE ELECTED TO CONGRESS!

RESULT: Claire Valdez has won the open Democratic primary in #NY07, and so is virtually certain to head to Congress in 2027. Valdez is the second of the Zohran Mamdani-backed congressional candidates to win in tonight's major Dem primaries, after Brad Lander.

Gawker, bless it, tried to warn us. www.gawkerarchives.com/gawker-was-m...

why do we have to navigate this, EVER. no justification for this casually militaristic police state. i will not ever consider this normal.

🇺🇳 The UN Commission of Inquiry has found that Israeli security forces and authorities have directly and intentionally targeted Palestinian children as part of an ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people and in what amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Just now, Park Police chasing another vehicle a day after killing someone with their reckless illegal car chase in the middle of the city at 17th and U St. DC Police working with CBP and unmarked feds at 17th and Florida moments later.

Park Police are a menace to the peaceful residents of DC and we have no accountability because the person who would prosecute them is Jeanine Fucking Pirro #FreeDC

On the heartbreaking death of Lebanese environmental activist Mona Khalil in Tyre. Her house was hit during Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon two weeks ago. In the words of her friend, "She absolutely refused to be displaced, which was fitting for someone so determined."

U.S. Park Police killed someone today in a high-speed chase near Woodley Park. DC leaders prohibited these chases — but last year, Congress overturned DC’s law as part of this regime’s psychotic desire to hunt people. DC leaders know what DC communities need. When Congress interferes, people die.

When your birthday (gotcha day) aligns with DC pride

FREE SPEECH UNDER ATTACK: Marco Rubio just had a man arrested and jailed, and is seeking to deport him, because he publicly supported Petro and opposed a presidential candidate in Colombia that Donald Trump would prefer to be elected. He committed no crimes and had an asylum application pending.

Thus far, 113,000 ballots have been counted, with potentially tens of thousands still in the mail (about 130,000 ballots were cast in the 2022 primary, a far less competitive election). The Board of Elections has said it expects to publish round-by-round results on Sunday, June 21.

liberal democracies will never be safe with musk this powerful—they must unite to break him my latest with @newrepublic.com c/a @gregsargent.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2119...

Big news: Georgia Republicans have dropped their plans to pass new gerrymanders targeting Black Democrats today over fears of energizing Dem turnout this fall. They planned to pass new maps for 2028 in case they lose the 2026 governor’s race. They could still do it in the lame-duck period though
