If Trump's immigration policies drastically reduce foreign students coming to US colleges and universities, small liberal arts colleges and regional universities will be forced to close. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

His plans are to remove Gazans by whatever means necessary so he can build beachfront property with Bibi and Jared. We've long known this.

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

@repgaramendi.bsky.social Team sent me these videos of the walkout on the steps of the Capitol of many House and Senate Dems after hearing about Padilla. Shout out to Garamendi’s team cause not a single source I have can find the full video anywhere. Here is @pelosi.house.gov 4/

NEW: A group of minority voters in Tarrant County, Texas file a lawsuit accusing local GOP officials of racial gerrymandering, a day after they approved a new map to shrink the voting power of Black and brown residents. From: @jenrice.bsky.social‬

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Crawford: Today, Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections, and our Supreme Court.. Wisconsin stood up and said that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale

"There is one obvious problem with the prospect of the Supreme Court allowing Trump to move forward with his authoritarian project: The justices themselves could pay the high price of discarding what is left of their own already impaired legitimacy."

This!

And the 2 idiots behind him, Mike Johnson and JD Vance just keep standing and applauding to all of his stupidity, because they’re just as stupid‼️

Trump Tax is the largest tax increase on working families in US history, and it is also unique in that he did it by decree, bypassing congress, necessary due to its unique mix of cruelty, stupidity, and damage to hard working families in the US and world.

Yes, Trump just rescued the Russian economy

Pre-game fact checking has arrived!

"I used to fear centralized control. But now I understand that true oppression isn’t the federal government taxing my diesel F-150. Oppression is NOT having a billionaire tell me what to think about immigrants, free speech, and which letter of the alphabet is the coolest."

Vance to Zelenskyy: you don’t say thank you. Truth:

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.

First time hearing this demo/archive tape of Joni Mitchell’s Help Me. Dazzling genius. youtu.be/Jx1UBDNzyLw?...

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Senate rules were explicitly designed to protect the minority. Democrats should exploit them mercilessly to slow Trump and Musk before they destroy the country.

"In hindsight, the first year may have been the entire ballgame — even if no one quite knew it at the time..." Really good explainer by Zack Beauchamp here. Worth reading: www.vox.com/politics/398...

Russell Vought, the co-author of Project 2025, has said that we live in a post-constitutional time and has proposed hundreds of billions in cuts to health care and other essential programs. Now, he’s nominated to run the Office of Management and Budget.

Reaching back to 2018 for this interview with Professor David Honig of Indiana University about Trump's negotiating style. Basically, he is very predictable, even in his brash, threatening nature. This means he will often be, unwittingly, on the losing end. www.npr.org/2018/07/04/6...

Just because it is in plain sight does not mean it is not what it is: A hostile takeover of the U.S. government by an unelected and unfettered power monger. Believe what you see, do not see what you believe.

My brother Jordan Engel spent nearly a decade working w/ tribal leaders and researchers to produce a map of North America in its native languages. I could not be prouder of his work w/ the indigenous community. The free map is here: decolonialatlas.wordpress.com/turtle-islan...

BREAKING: Acting FBI director confirms DOJ has ordered him to fire 8 FBI executives & share the names of every employee who worked on the January 6th insurrection cases. What a world when the Nazi who wore the "Camp Auschwitz" shirt is pardoned & the people who convicted him are punished. Horrific.

Hey if anyone is considering backing up any datasets for some reason today, the Open Science Framework has free storage up to 5G/private repository, and up to 50G/public repository. (The OSF is run by a 501c3 (Center for Open Science), so if you do this you might also consider making a donation.)

The property insurance industry knows what’s up with climate change and socio economic risk. It’s just about math and science to them. So it’s interesting to see what they have to say www.insurancebusinessmag.com/us/news/brea...

Roger Hallam is serving a five-year sentence for advocating direct action during a videoconference. It hasn’t stopped him. newrepublic.com/article/1904...

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation. The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ? Suggestions ?

Bingham started doing these drawings two days after the fires began. She realized she couldn’t afford to donate to all of her friend’s recovery funds. So she put out a call on Instagram asking people to send her pictures of their homes, which she'd draw for free. via @kcrw.com
