the Star Tribune just called me and told me they would not be publishing the obituary I wrote for my father as it is “unfair to him” and “in poor taste” so here it is and fuck the strib ✌🏻

mike johnson doesn't give a shit

The wildest part about us getting banned on instagram and threads and all meta platforms without warning or explanation is not even being able to get in touch with a human being about it. Dystopian, Orwellian shit.

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves. If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such. 🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

6/I managed to catch, just before I hit send that I had accidentally included a picture of my very good dog, Bella, in the post above & deleted it. But it seems wrong to deny you her smiling face this morning.

Mark and Melissa saw the humanity in everyone. Let’s honor them by doing the same.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

Bwahahahaaa

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

It’s wild that in the video DHS posted in an effort to make the beating of an innocent landscaper (with 3 marine sons) seem justified there’s a masked ice goon pointing a gun at a random car passing by and they don’t seem to think it matters at all

This is dark

VEASEY: You've credited the 12 steps in your recovery. What's step 4? RFK JR: Making a fearless inventory VEASEY: Of ourselves. Do you remember step 12? RFK JR: We try to help other addicts VEASEY: Does cutting off treatment from people still suffering align with step 4 or step 12?

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

AOC: "They have released chaos in LA by violently raiding & ripping apart peaceful public spaces, and now they are tackling & arresting US sitting members of Congress, while going on the record & lying about what happened.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

The Meidas Mighty showing up STRONG at today's NO KINGS protests!!!

NEW: The DOJ filed a lawsuit against the newly GOP-controlled North Carolina Board of Elections. It represents a troubling Trump administration tactic: Filing lawsuits in cases where the plaintiff and defendant are aligned, allowing for sweeping policy changes without the legislative process.

Trump parade vs No Kings march, San Diego

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

It’s that time again. Post your favorite signs from today for entry in my Top 15 No King sign contest!

Democratic governors seek to roll back state-funded health care for undocumented immigrants www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Here is the Right Wing Bullshit Machine kicking up again. It is the same playbook, and the same players, every. single. time. They twist funding and relationships. They use phrases like “ties to”. 🙄 Then,it was SIO’s right to do research on Trump’s election lies. Now it’s your right to organize.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

Now do ICE

NEW: Judge says Trump administration can continue detaining Khalil on charge related to his green card application, dashing his allies’ hopes of imminent release. w/ @eorden.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

The federal courts have held the line once again - for now. My latest for @contrariannews.org open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Big day today – another major legal win in federal court, this time prohibiting mass layoffs by Marco Rubio at the State Department We @democracydefendersaction.org are proud to be a part of the coalition of incredible lawyers, labor unions & nonprofit groups litigating this case

Rieckhoff: Trump, smartly—and maybe stupidly—chose to hit the military first. They’re using the military and the Pentagon as a test case for everything they want to do in America. And what I’d say is: if they can come after us, they can come after anyone.

From my column, linked below

TODAY 6/14/25, we peacefully make our voices heard... NO KINGS!* 🇺🇸 *Also NO: CONVICTED FELONS/PATHOLOGICAL LIARS/DRAFT DODGERS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS/SHORT-FINGERED VULGARIANS/MALIGNANT NARCISSISTS & ANYONE WHO INCITED AN INSURRECTION IN AN ATTEMPTED COUP AGAINST HIS OWN COUNTRY a/k/a TRAITORS ✊

Horrific political violence in Minnesota this morning, even worse because early reports are that the perpetrator was imitating a uniformed law enforcement officer.
