Call to action: farm workers and labourers across the US are planning a nationwide strike the #HUELGAPARALADIGNIDA translation #StrikeForDignity. They’ll announce it 3 days prior. If you work in other industries or are in a union organize to join the strike when it happens. #3E #NationalStrike

Every blue state should do this. TAX THE MILLIONAIRES!

The American Academy of Pediatrics has sued HHS Secy Kennedy for dismantling what they call a long-established vaccine infrastructure. Claims are brought under the Administrative Procedure Act, which means that despite SCOTUS's decision in Cava, there could still be a nationwide injunction here.

MAYOR BASS: “They need to leave right now. This is UNACCEPTABLE.” The mayor showed up as Trump’s Gestapo/ICE marched through MacArthur Park like an invading army. Ridiculous. They left. (h/t FOX LA)

Mexico sent more than thoughts and prayers.

Listen to this guy. This would change how people vote forever!

Americans have been duped. Every other advanced country has universal healthcare, universal education, paid family leave, paid maternity leave, at least 6 weeks paid vacation, living wages, and a commitment to green energy. That’s how you make America great.

Oh… this disconnect isn’t scary at all…😳😳😳

This needs to be stated over and over and over and over and over and over again UNTIL the midterms.

How embarrassing is this for us Oklahomans? Look at the rankings! No wonder every county in this state voted for the Orange Idiot!

Courageous young women should be celebrated for their heroism.

No FAFO comment from me. I’m glad some folks admit voting for Trump was a mistake, but if that doesn’t come with “I should’ve voted for Kamala Harris,” it’s not complete. We don’t need more non-voters. You have to choose a side or you’re complicit in the outcome.

Kerr County officials are giving another update on the central Texas flash floods that have killed at least 79 people. youtube.com/live/h6IUjt-...

Brandi Addison at the Austin American-Statesman has compiled a list of resources for all of us who are looking to help those impacted by the flooding. The article is paywalled, so I'm listing it all here.

BREAKING: A state court has again blocked enforcement of Missouri's abortion bans and certain restrictions targeting providers. This clears the way for providers to resume offering procedural abortion care in the state. We won't stop until everyone has access to the reproductive care they need.

Oops. Another Russian fell out a window.

DAILY MEMO: ICE takes a detainee to a Glendale Hospital and is waiting to re-arrest her, ICE raids, protests, and a closer look at the Declaration of Independence ~ @eltragon.bsky.social

NOT A CRIMINAL A veteran’s wife was arrested by ICE when she went for an immigration check-in. She was separated from her young children, even though she’s still nursing. I wonder who he voted for? That said, it’s odd he said “almost inhumane”. Being snatched from your newborn baby IS inhumane.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

As academic research is being destroyed in the US, France steps up. >80 years ago, as France was under occupation, America welcomed exiled researchers. Now, in a reverse of history, American scientists have arrived in France for freedom of thought and research.” www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Most Americans on Medicaid don’t know it! 36 States don’t call their Medicaid programs Medicaid. A lot of people are in for a rude awakening. For example: AK DenaliCare CA: Medi-Cal CT: HuskyHealth CO: HealthFirst HI: MedQuest NJ: FamilyCare www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/state-medica...

Correction: in the US. Spoke with Pauline, who stayed up until 5AM finishing the installation for today. She described an emotional experience pulling together the research of the missing. Family members still don’t know where some folks are being held. They were grabbed at work and on the street

From the Editorial Board: A naturalized citizen is no less than a U.S.-born citizen. On this Independence Day, we’re deeply troubled by the current administration’s threatened violation of that pact.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Mon dieux! Elle pleure.

AOC speaks for many of us. “I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. . . I’m sorry we have to live through this.”

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken legislature? Our corrupt SCOTUS? Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

I beg you to watch Stacy Abrams explain the nine steps to autocracy. We are at step nine.
