Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Masked men — presumably loathsome secret police from ICE or CBP — beat this guy bloody before disappearing him. Father of three U.S. Marines.

WATCH: “This is f*cking kidnapping! That’s not your badge… I do have a little bit of education… get the f*ck out of here, racial profiling is illegal…” A brave woman melts ice 🧊 💪🏽 www.instagram.com/reel/DLOWbEs...

This is Liz Oyer, the former Pardon Attorney for the DOJ. Trust me, you want to hear this. Pass it on, please.

WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.” Tucker Carlson embarrasses @sentedcruz as he pushes for war with Iran

MARYLAND’s @govwesmoore.bsky.social: “Trump is throwing a whole military parade for himself, because he doesn’t understand what it means to put country before himself.” 🇺🇸

Illinois follows the law — we expect the federal government to follow the law, too. We won't participate in abuses of power. We won't violate court orders. We won't ignore the Constitution. We won't defy the Supreme Court. We won't take away people’s right to peacefully protest.

This is heartbreaking and has to stop. These people are not criminals…

Found this interesting: After all those stories of people fleeing NYC during the pandemic, NYC had the largest population increase from July 1, 2023 to 2024. It gained 87,184 new people — more than twice as many as the No. 2 city, Houston. (from the U.S. Census Bureau)

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

This regime is gutting vital services relied upon by millions...all to extend even more tax cuts (and subsidies) to the super-rich. (Art work by @doodlebymeg)

Finally some good news

Conclave Selects First Chicago-Style Pope

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people? P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process

Corgis have many talents

This is amazing

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Now we know why he didn’t have his hand on the Bible when he took the Oath of Office.

Clueless

Julia Parsons, a U.S. Navy code breaker during World War II who was among the last survivors of a top-secret team of women that unscrambled messages to and from German U-boats, has died at 104.

The Worst Person You Know Just Made Some Great Points

WATCH: “You’re saying you revere a time when their ancestors were in bondage.” In NC, @davidjoy.bsky.social powerfully explains why it’s wrong to remove a “compromise plaque” without public input, and why revering the confederacy is offensive. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DI9vdzA...

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.
