Celebrating a time in our history when people of good character bravely took risks, spoke up and stood together for goodness and justice and overcame the loud voices of racism and hatred.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Monstrous: "They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

Waste, fraud and abuse, all three.

"A child is dying of malnutrition about every 15 seconds, and meanwhile, the U.S. taxpayers have already purchased 185,000 boxes of Plumpy'Nut that taxpayers own that is sitting in a warehouse in Rhode Island gathering dust." @nickkristof.bsky.social talks USAID and more with @timmiller.bsky.social

War crimes

Jacob Soboroff@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

Trump is having a hard time understanding why Panama, Canada and Greenland haven’t nominated Donald for the Nobel Peace prize.

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social

Trump is whining that he won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize “no matter what I do.”

Fox apparently overlying fake “crowd cheers” during the speech. Does Kamala get to sue fox for “ten billion $“ for this obvious fraud? I guess we know why trump hates pbs.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

This is why your Fox News-watching relatives think half the country supports Donald Trump. Notice Fox doesn’t turn the camera to the crowd. 👀

“Iran would never launch missiles if (trump) were president”, is holding up well.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Trump on Oct 1, 2024, saying that we are on the brink of WWIII and a “global catastrophe” because Iran just launched missiles at Israel, which never would’ve happened if he was president.

To be clear, ICE is disguising themselves and lying to elementary and middle school officials in order to infiltrate schools, and kidnap American citizen children so that they can abduct and deport one or more of the child’s immigrant parents.

Masked agents making warrantless arrests with a “do what you need to do” mandate. "In Irvine, Calif., ICE agents drove a phalanx of military vehicles ... seeking a resident’s son who had allegedly posted fliers alerting neighbors to the presence of ICE agents" www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

We said we wanted the government to “protect our kids from armed gunman”, not “send armed gunman to kidnap kids.”

Micah@rincewind.run

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This 147-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both Democracy and Personal Liberty.

Trump would love to see Gavin Newsome led away in handcuffs as a preemptive election PR stunt. Newsome supporters aren’t criminals in the way that trump supporters are corrupt criminals (Matt Gaetz, Epstein, 1,500 convicted J6 Criminals, …) and he’ll have to break the mold, and stigma, as trump did.

Trump-pardoned J6-ers literally sprayed bear spray into cops eyes and gouged out the eye of one police officer.

Steve Benen@stevebenen.com

It seemed like a simple and uncontroversial tenet: “Hit a cop, you’re going to jail.” Trump’s pardons for Jan. 6 violent rioters sure do get in the way of Republican talking points, don’t they? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

The Real Lyle reposted

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

Wow.

German Chancellor: "May I remind you that we are having June 6 tomorrow. This is the D-Day anniversary." Trump: "Not a pleasant day for you. That was not a great day." German Chancellor: "This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship."

#ProudBlue Every word that Scott Galloway said 👏👏👏👏👏👏 I feel it all to my core. I’ve been screaming this since Trump came down the escalator. Why are we excusing their abhorrent behavior? Musk & Trump are morally bankrupt. Kevin O’Leary doesn’t even know what to do with his face.
