The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

Survivors come first on my platform. Read my conversations with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein in my article linked below. #standwithsurvivors #releasethefiles open.substack.com/pub/realtime...

In memory of Virginia Guiffre 🦋

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

Thou Shalt Release The Damn Epstein Files!

De Georgiou: And to be clear, the only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing. You have a choice: stand with the truth or with the lies that have protected predators for decades.

Standing here in support of the amazing and heroic survivors of Epstein at the US Capitol today #releasethefiles

Heading there now. We must all support these brave survivors as they name names. #releasetheepsteinfiles

Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

Might be my best article yet. Its solidarity season people! #aflcio #freedc #laborunions open.substack.com/pub/realtime...

Omg, JD Vance getting heckled by people yelling ‘COUCH F*CKER’ as he visits Union Station to survey Trump’s militarization of D.C.

No one owns the Water. No one owns the Land. No one owns the sand. These are given by Our Mother. The Planet provides for Free. Only by the hands of the Greedy does the Earth require a Fee 🌺

If you need to steal, cheat or cancel elections to stay in power, it’s because you know how much everyone hates your guts.

DC — Press Conference & Rally TODAY The Trump regime has escalated their occupation of DC—Federal agents are now violently profiling, harassing, and arresting Black and Brown DC community members. Join DC community leaders to demand FEDERAL FORCES OUT NOW: 📍 14th St NW & U St NW ⏰ 3 PM FREE DC.

Same.

This is what is happening right now.

My God. This hit so hard. Because you know what they're going to choose. And it makes you feel like, as a species, we may be irredeemable. So many of us find just doing the basic decent thing an utter impossibility.

BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files. As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed. Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

BREAKING: Mike Johnson just canceled votes for Thursday and is sending the House home early for summer recess in order to shut down Democratic efforts to demand more votes on releasing the Epstein files.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.

3. Baltimore did not accomplish this by building more prisons. Mayor Brandon Scott (D) has done it by treating violent crime as a public health crisis. That means treating violent crime as a symptom of racism, poverty, and past violence. It means taking proactive and preventative measures.

1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows How did the city do it? Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue

Actual horror movie shit.

They’re eating the files, they’re eating the flight logs, they’re eating the list. 😉

Turns out the “I voted for this” crew was talking about voting to protect pedophile sex traffickers and their clients

Why so quiet, JD?

Ted Cruz’s Claim That He Returned as ‘Fast as Possible’ Crumbles Cruz says he returned to Texas as quickly as he could after news of devastating floods broke. Flight data tells a different story.

What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July? 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 Congress? Our corrupt Supreme Court? Our ridiculous buffoon President?

Patriotism isn't about building walls, punishing immigrants, cutting taxes for the rich, attacking the press, or dividing us by race & faith. True patriots don't pander to divisiveness or hate. They work to confirm the "WE" in "We the People of the United States."

Happy 4th of July. FDT.

There is no country I could go to that would be far enough to escape the utter helplessness I feel knowing Americans will suffer and die because of this bill. I would never feel peace in my heart again even if I ran far away from this horror. So I stay, and I learn how to fight.

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.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Mic drop.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

This thread was so refreshing to read. Great things are in store for these two men!

Three years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned our constitutional right to abortion care nationwide. No matter what, we're committed to fighting for reproductive rights, regardless of where we live.
