Let's face it: ICE is *not* a law enforcement agency. It is a ragtag collection of angry, arrested development vigilantes and malcontents that has gone "Lord of the Flies" on us.

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED, AND THANK YOU,WARREN BUFFETT....

In case anyone is under the impression that things are getting back to normal here in the U.S., yesterday 🧊 grabbed a fruit seller off the street in broad daylight in my community. This was only one of several kidnappings in the area yesterday. Don’t let the circus distract you from the ongoing harm

The story is still evolving but this is the 1 year old killed. In my area, police aren’t supposed to shoot at cars. They are to get tag info & go later. To de-escalate. That’s ICE written policy also. They appear to be unaware.

They thought she stole DIAPERS. Pampers are among the most shoplifted items ever. What does that say about the thieves? The local fence won’t give cash for those stolen goods. They don’t feed any addiction but cleanliness.

Warnock: Right before they passed that ugly bill that cut $1 trillion out of medicaid, the Speaker of the House joined with other legislators and said a prayer, and then they went and voted for that bill. I just want to know what was in that prayer.

Michelle Obama appreciation post just because.

The stupidest president ever. 🤦🏻‍♂️

This is so true, and it’s doubtful that the dark genie can ever be put back into the bottle…

One-third of Americans already carry medical debt. Instead of lowering costs, Trump officials are floating a plan for people to borrow money from their insurers to pay medical bills. Families need affordable health care, not more debt. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/b...

They removed CD/DVD drives from PCs. -Made physical media harder to buy and use. -Removed expandable storage from phones. -Pushed us into streaming subscriptions. -Made always-online normal. -Made unlimited internet necessary. -Slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.

The work crew is really groovin’ as Trump’s name is ripped off the Kennedy Center. 😂 “Young man, pick yourself off the ground” … peak YMCA celebration vibes. 🎶 America is healing one scaffold dance at a time! 🕺 #YMCA #KennedyCenter

ABBY PHILLIP: “What about the law, Scott?” SCOTT JENNINGS: “What about it? Who cares?” 🤔 Refreshing honesty from the smuggest man in the world. The law does not matter to them.

In retrospect, we should've known the left would end up only caring about the marginalized when they can gentrify their struggles for their benefit when they decided the hero of Parkland wasn't the Black youth who ran towards danger, but the white rich kids who ran to the cameras.

It is almost too on the nose for the aging president to stage gladiatorial bouts and commission victory arches as his armies overextend their power in a futile effort to subdue the Persians. His mind cannot process winning as anything deeper than looking good. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

AOC: This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for…

Well said. I don't care if he's a card-carrying Cherokee, he can still be a racist.

Tribal membership is a complicated matter, culturally & politically And it's a family debate that outsiders shouldn't get involved in And, it's irrelevant What's relevant is: claiming that tribal membership gives him a Get Out of Jail Free card on the sins he's committing right now Is bullshit

Fact #1: Markwayne Mullin is a registered member of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma Fact #2: That doesn't mean he's not engaged in actively perpetuating human rights abuses and violating the Constitution as a member of this Regime and head of ICE, because Fact #3: Not all skin-folk are kinfolk 😑

Mullin: Are you calling me a racist? Green: Reclaiming my time. Ask him to shut up! Shut up! Mullin: No one will call me a racist. I’m Cherokee.

The President of The United States is a pathetically horrible excuse for a human being

The United States before and after the orange felon seized power. I’ll never forgive anyone who voted for destruction, corruption and chaos.

Wow. My book made the NYT list at #1. Thank you!!

Earlier this week, Oklahoma passed a bill raising the minimum age to marry to 18 and closing dangerous religious loopholes that enabled abusive and exploitative child marriages. We're proud to be helping lead the fight to end child marriage in all 50 states. Here's our statement.

WATCH — @kamalaharris.com to Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “They’re back-dooring racism through politics… If they thought they could win on merit they wouldn’t have to resort to cheating… your fight is for 🇺🇸, and everything we say we stand for.”

Scott MacFarlane slams the legacy media over its handling of January 6 coverage: They allowed the space and the void for Trump to step in and try to rewrite it, to craft a different narrative, to flat-out lie.

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

Seriously? Transportation Secretary Duffy: "It fits any budget to do a road trip." Yeah, suppose that's true-since the taxpayers are paying for his gas bills. Guess he doesn't share the same reality as the rest of us.

REP. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “This isn't coincidental or accidental. We're seeing the greatest purge of Black power since the era of Reconstruction.” (H/T @motherjones.com ) #Memphis #JimCrow @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

And hotels in US World Cup cities would be fully booked for more days, the surrounding businesses would make a bunch of money and the local economy would get a bigger boost because foreigners wouldn’t be afraid to travel to the US...🤔😏👇🏾

I was fuming for hours yesterday after TN House Bill 7003, so I decided to channel that anger in a substack article. VOTING has always been life and death. Our grandparents knew it because many of our ancestors paid for it in blood. Please check it and share🙏🏽 open.substack.com/pub/advocacy...

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but what’s going on in the south right now with voting rights and erasure, is a “kitchen table issue” — for Black families. And it should be for everyone.

Because of course he did. newrepublic.com/post/210174/...

😕🇺🇸

Zelensky issued an official presidential decree authorizing Russia to hold its Victory Day parade in Moscow tomorrow. He included the exact coordinates of Red Square. That's it. A+ trolling.

Katie Phang and Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky visit a new exhibition space in Tribeca where the Epstein files are bound in 3,237 physical volumes. “To see the person who scheduled me, who is still not behind bars—her name is here.”

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so
