⚡️UPDATE: Pentagon spokesperson Kingsley Wilson says Hegseth does think women should vote. What a relief! (Still no apology or explanation for why he approvingly shared a video where the pastors he follows say they shouldn’t🤷🏼‍♂️)

SpaceX, Elon Musk’s rocket company, has most likely paid little to no federal income taxes since its founding in 2002, even as it’s received billions of dollars in federal contracts, according to internal company documents reviewed by The New York Times. nyti.ms/45wGKkn

I love having Samuel Garcia on my side. “Being honorable means doing the right thing.” And “How many of you are going to get arrested for breaking the rules?”

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

I see Jasmine Crockett has had to drop out of the race for leadership of the Oversight Committee. I am so sick of terrified, mediocre, old, white men standing in the way of the future. But I suspect I won't live to see the day when a smart, fierce black woman is given her due.

This is a good history lesson, and it may help you find reason for hope.

I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years. So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

Wilhelm Reich’s 1933 book - The Mass Psychology of Fascism - concluded that a key characteristic of fascism is the ability to derive joy from inflicting cruelty.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

This is happening in the United States of America.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Moments ago at the Russel Senate Office building Medicaid activists in wheelchairs were arrested by Capitol police for staging a sit in. Their banner was snatched and their wrists tied with zip ties.

It’s not enough for Stephen Miller to orchestrate Trump’s deportation agenda. Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target and round up immigrants. He’s cashing in on his own cruelty.

This.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

They’re cranking up the propaganda machine again: claiming Brad Lander “unlawfully interfered” and that ICE is just “enforcing Trump’s policy.” Reality: Lander stood up for civil rights. ICE’s conduct reflects a deeply troubling use of federal power.

This is where we live now. We must make it stop.

Breaking News: Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who is running for mayor, was detained by ICE agents at an immigration court as he tried to escort a migrant out of the courthouse to prevent his arrest. nyti.ms/4jWkANE
