1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

Amazing turnout in DC today! ✊

Huge shout-out to Cliff Cash and the whole Removal Coalition! Definitely bigger than Trump’s inauguration.

When is The View going to have me on the show or are they just going to continue to let an abuser spout lies on their show?

Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18. There are currently over 2,000 events planned nationwide. More details here: https://www.nokings.org

Today's #WeAreAllDC rally in Washington

Lawlessness has no limits. Make it stop.

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well. We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

Note on historic context and #Juneteenth — Many of the articles and social media posts today will correctly note that in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, approximately 250,000 enslaved Blacks in were informed of their freedom. Here’s a few important details about that number…

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

A message of support to those protesting today and some tips drawn from the history of resistance.

Exactly!

I will provide an update on last night’s targeted shootings shortly: youtube.com/live/VHtHNAb...

Y’all may want to check to see if you are following Jake Tapper @jaketapper.bsky.social here on Bluesky and if you are then unfollow him. He has 291,000 too many followers. Then pass it on.

Employees at DC’s Kennedy Center have had enough of their new leadership under President Trump, and have decided to form a union in response. Unions have no problem being a thorn in Trump’s side – and we love to see it! www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

THREAD: We recently heard that the Trump administration was leaning on the government of Gambia to help Elon Musk. For weeks, our team made phone calls, wrote letters and knocked on folks’ doors to try to confirm it. But we were stuck. So our reporters got on a plane to Banjul. 1/

It’s an American Pope! www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

MADISON, Wis. – Yesterday, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and other publications reported that Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan apparently attempted to protect a defendant from ICE agents trying to detain that defendant. (1/6)

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

This should be the top story in Axios’s morning read. But it isn’t. It’s the FIFTH top story. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/04/23/t...

Anyone who hates doge please help us. We need 35K fighters like at a AOC rally.

Please send your comments. Please.

Chris Krebs is America’s next profile in courage. The entire nation should support this honorable and courageous fellow citizen.

Gee?! If only lawyers followed some kind of code of ethics?

With the help of four Democrats, House Republicans just voted to pass H.R. 22 — one of the biggest threats to voting rights that we’ve seen in a generation. If you’re represented by Reps. Case (HI-01), Cuellar (TX-28), Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03), or Golden (ME-02), they need to hear from you today.

So lots of countries weren’t begging for lower tariffs. It was a lie.

👏👏👏

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

SCOOP: DOGE has been clear about its plans to fire tens of thousands of employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Now WIRED has new info on the specific DOGE operatives at the VA, and the ways they’re trying to infiltrate and change the agency.

Gee. If only the Senate had done something? Just more words Senator. Your words are empty and meaningless without the required action to stop this impeachable corruption.

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

As always. Too little. Too late.
