Just something to think about. Part 1 “The United States is only one superpower. Today they lead the world. Nobody has doubts about it. Military.They also lead economically but they’re getting weak. But they don’t lead morally and politically anymore. The world has no leadership.

Mexico messed up by trying to appease the US. They played by the US rules and still ended up getting screwed. Both Canada & Mexico have economies heavily reliant on the US, but Canada played the right hand; is now talking to EU, China, and beyond. It’s time to catch up, amigos.

And what's truly terrifying is that anyone can pretend to be #ICE. Anyone could go buy gear off Amazon and pretend to be ice and assault & detain people. And we'd have no fucking clue if it was the real ICE thugs or imposter thugs! This is already happening! Speak out! Call Congress: 202-224-3121

Abortion rates were expected to tank after Roe v. Wade was overturned. Instead, medication abortion became easier to get – and it changed everything. 🎧 The new abortion battleground; this week on Reveal

DOJ is now 0-20 in cases to obtain state voter files. Here is the list: Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Illinois Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin

God bless AOC. The idea that we’ll become a communist country when we can’t even raise the minimum wage? Silly indeed.

Every right-wing accusation is always a projection and a confession. @cbsnews.com @cnn.com @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com

You know the ICE officer who killed someone in Maine and was then accused by two ex-wives of abuse? Turns out he was likely eligible to skip a significant portion of training after ICE hired him, due to a policy change under this administration. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I want you to hear straight from me about what happened at Delaney Hall on Monday and what I saw inside the facility. ICE out of control. GEO Group profiting off of human misery. People living in inhumane conditions. Let me walk you through it.

Can you believe it’s already been ONE YEAR of the Katie Phang News channel on YouTube? I’m even more inspired today so thanks for supporting me on this journey.

Republicans aren’t buying Trump’s bullshit about his billion-dollar ballroom. If you’ve got a GOP senator or representative, demand that they reject the MAGA spending bill: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-yo...

Dementia Donnie: Featuring the current Donald Trump, but in the universe in which his father bequeathed his estate to the Ku Klux Klan instead of his son. By @rubenbolling.bsky.social

Turns out the House candidate endorsed by @hoyer.house.gov in MD-5 is a lobbyist for Ellison-owned Oracle, and didn’t initially disclose his six figure bonuses for that work. Vote for @libradunn1.bsky.social on June 23rd. wamu.org/story/26/05/...

Tennessee NAACP goes to court to stop "late-decade Congressional redistricting," and the law sure looks to be on their side.

Alien or Russian? you decide

I've been listening to a lot of older music this week. It's amazing how many artists warned about everything that is happening right up until it all started to come apart. It's like the last clear vision of things before the darkness. Art is more than art.

Arizona will be a key player in this year’s general elections. @marleneforaz.bsky.social explains why she is the right candidate for the moment:

One small town mayor decided to stand up to Border Czar—and all around fascist—Tom Homan. You love to see it!

Every journalist should be asking what the hell is going on with this guy's health that they aren't telling us.

I am seeking the appointment of a Special Master to assist in getting the DOJ to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. It's time that the lawyers in the Trump Regime actually follow the law.

How is it better for regular folks exactly?

Operation Epic Fail www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Looking forward to the next Democratic president appointing a special counsel.

I took a blank sign and asked everyone what did they want to work TOWARD?

Walz: We will never leave the side of our Somali Minnesotans. Here's our pledge to you, our Somali Minnesotans, your great grandchildren will still be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today. That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

No Kings in Utqiaġvik (Barrow) Alaska!

I like this No kings rally sign

Beyond inspiring to hear @brucespringsteen.net sing “Streets of Minneapolis” today at the Minnesota State Capitol for No Kings Day 3.0! Here’s a small clip from his amazing performance:

It was a good day. ☺️

I just interviewed economist Aya Ibrahim, Former Senior policy advisor at the White House and State Department under Biden. We talked about the various supply and price shocks that are coming as a result of Trump’s war in Iran, shocks about which most Americans are still completely in the dark.

“That just doesn’t make sense to me — when the richest people have the smallest effective tax rate, that does not seem like a very fair system.” #LiftTheCap

Democracy is not a spectator sport & @timothysnyder.bsky.social is urging us to organize and be activated. He and I discuss how we need to be aware of what’s going on in Europe, like Hungary & France. And why Democrats need a plan from Day 1 once they’re back in power. youtu.be/1RveF4hMjic?...

"A top deputy to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro acknowledged in a closed-door hearing that the Justice Department did not have evidence of wrongdoing in its criminal investigation of Fed chair Jerome Powell..." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

NEW: WOW: In their haste to discredit Jack Smith’s January 6th probe, Trump’s DOJ (maybe) inadvertently gave Congress a memo detailing Trump’s motive for hoarding classified docs - a potential violation of Judge Cannon’s block on material relating to Volume II. 1/ www.ms.now/news/trump-c...

146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

Mayor Mamdani with a master class on how government's can cut waste in government while keeping voters in the loop. DOGE pretended to do this and failed miserably.

Today with @hcrichardson.bsky.social & @timothysnyder.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/5kqslmq...

Democrats have now tried to pass TSA funding 8 times. In fact, they’ve tried to fund every department under DHS except for ICE and CBP over and over again. Republicans and Trump have blocked them every time. Why? Trump wants to suppress your vote so he can keep profiting off of the presidency.

The Rapture is a moronic 19th-century theological concept, primarily popular among inbred American Evangelicals, that Jesus Christ will return to suddenly "snatch away" (or caught up) all believers, both living and dead, to heaven before a period of global "tribulation". 😐😑

Dave McCormick, the recently elected R senator in PA, lives in Connecticut. He recently bought a house in PA but he doesn’t really live here. We lost our great democratic senator Bob Casey to this oath forgetting billionaire.

🤯 Russian intelligence plotted a staged assassination attempt on Viktor Orbán. The plan aimed to boost his ratings by shifting the campaign to security issues, The Washington Post reported, noting it’s unclear how far it went.

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

Doesn't the Golden Age feel good

This cruelty is being done in our name. Shame on this administration. Shame. 13,000 third country deportees so far. Many were ordered deported decades or even generations earlier, but no admin previously would have considered something as inhumane as this as a means of carrying out a removal.
