<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

I recently gave my first major political speech of this campaign season to retire Lauren Boebert. Like, share, follow, pitch in if you can. LET'S GO!!

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

The House is expected to vote today to allow the White House to claw back $9.4 billion already appropriated by Congress, including $1.1 billion in cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides funding to PBS and NPR.

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

In addition to their usual amazing work, our local animal shelter is currently housing dozens of animals from a recent hoarding case where over 160 animals were found living in a trailer. Please consider donating to my fundraiser for them if you can! givebutter.com/catsofyore

With SCOTUS allowing DOGE access to sensitive social security information (while shielding DOGE from having to turn over its info), I'm ... feeling pretty good about some of the stuff I said on @thedailyshow.com (ca. 9:05): www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBFE... & for more: bookshop.org/p/books/lawl...

This mornings standout at L.L. Bean's headquarters was a big success! It felt great to see so many L.L. Bean employees wave at us and honk their horns in support as they turned into the L.L. Bean parking lot. #LLBeanDropCiti #ActOnClimate @thirdactorg.bsky.social @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social

The President of California’s largest union, David Huerta, was targeted and kidnapped by ICE during their illegal raids in Los Angeles. Huerta is a US citizen. He stood his ground against the regime troops terrorizing the city. #3E

Do the right thing, Roberts. "one man, one vote." Sick of your fascism.

Critical BLS number- downward revisions for prior months. The economy is worse than reported

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

Trump to clear 113 Million Acres of National Forests Soon Forest Service will clear 90,000 acres of critical wildlife habitat-trees, native plants, chapparal, etc. in Los Padres National Forest for logging, mining, etc Oppose this now www.independent.com/2025/04/08/t...

Good @jilldlawrence.bsky.social focus on climate side of House GOP bill: "It would roll back Biden-era clean energy programs, resulting in increased climate-warming pollution and rising electricity prices...setbacks to US progress in clean-energy manufacturing." Not restoring manufacturing, then!

The stock market is going to skyrocket today, but this is not bc Trump is a great president, an economic genius or a master deal maker. It is simply bc he’s an arsonist who almost burned the house down and is now putting out his own fire by caving on it all. Do not forget any of this…

How much longer until till we get to the book bonfires??? Pentagon directs military to pull library books that address diversity, anti-racism, gender issues apnews.com/article/pent...

One year ago tonight, the night sky wow'd much of the planet with dancing colors in what was one of the best aurora displays of the last two decades. This was the scene all the way down on the freakin' Oklahoma/Texas border that night! Even had overhead pillars. Let's do that again soon, yeah?

"When you have a free *public* library in particular, you are providing an opportunity center to people of all walks of life, and you are giving them the opportunity to make choices on which entertainment, information, and inspiration mean the most to them." I found this so moving.

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

The idea that this administration is considering selling public lands, which belong to all of us, is absolutely abhorrent!

We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

It’s amazing how Trump’s ideological blinders, blind him to the plight of those affected by the climate crisis. Is it too much to ask that a president help people injured by heat and flooding?Trump administration pulls plug on UW climate research partnership www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Thank you @warnock.senate.gov for continuing to stand up for CDC employees and keeping this administration accountable for all the changes they're making to HHS: youtu.be/-wT_xbZx8OM?...

Sending love and support to our transgender service members. Thank you for your continued desire to serve and protect this country. I’m so sorry this pathetic draft dodger has any say in who can defend our country and the Constitution since he has no intention of doing either. 🤍🏳️‍⚧️

Too many Minnesotans feel like the bottom could fall out at any moment. I know what that’s like. My hardworking single mom relied on public schools, public housing, and Medicaid to get by. That's why I'm running for Senate - to be a loud, clear voice for families like mine. shorturl.at/zw6MH

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

John Fetterman has changed drastically, and I don't mean just his political views. It's a problem the Democratic party can't ignore. The 5 most shocking bombhells from The Intelligencer's report on Fetterman. www.mediaite.com/news/5-most-...

This is wild. The best resistance to fascism is explicit resistance.

Here’s what the KY GOP did this week.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.
