Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Right in our backyard is a compelling red-to-blue race. NY-11 is the only district in NYC with a MAGA congressmember who supports Trump’s tariffs, wars, and violent immigration policies — while shielding the criminals in the Epstein files, the administration, and their corporate cronies.

This shooting belongs to every Republican who voted to shred our Constitution in exchange for tax breaks. There's one right here in NYC in Nicole Malliotakis. As humans, we must stand up to violent abuse of power; as Democrats, we must organize to send a resounding message in November.

Who's really paying the price for those killer Amazon Prime Day deals?

Again: It isn’t about antisemitism. It’s about Israel. Criticism of Israel is not antisemitism.

Hoods off.

We identified a network of at least 10 political nonprofits that raised more than $33M on the promise of supporting admirable causes, but that spent little on activities that could be construed as having a political purpose. (Published June 2024)

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

Alex Pettis’ mom’s message. 💚 We can’t believe it’s already been six months.

Oh look! Americans hate AI Data Centers. Shocking! Maybe we should, you know, tap into that anger? Nah, let's continue taking money from AI and Crypto and corporate super PACs. I know, I know, I'M A CRAZY LEFTIST MOSLEM! Forgive me for being so silly. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

CARTOON OF THE DAY #AbolishICE (From @dennisgoris.bsky.social )

WATCH — Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social on being detained: “The arrogance in the eyes of those settlers… the arrogance of those IDF soldiers that my tax dollars are funding… the arrogance of power, and no accountability. Total impunity.” (From @mintpressnews.bsky.social )

Trump charged U.S. taxpayers for every visit to his properties throughout both terms as president to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate…Nicole ignores the hypocrisy of her faux outrage as she covers for the GOP’s grift. #TaylorSwift

Xitter's community notes are working overtime calling out people trying to claim Mamdani's attempts to conserve power is socialist. This one might be my favorite.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ELECTION!!! WHERE: District 11: Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn (Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, and Bensonhurst) EARLY VOTING: Sat. June 13 to Sun. June 21 ELECTION DAY: Tue June 23

Democratic Party throwing NY-11 race. NY-11 is only seat in NYC that is held by a Republican. Why isn't anyone paying attention? Because SI Dems. are giving it away. and where is the DCCC? www.instagram.com/reel/DZD96-3... #DemocratPolitics

“Hey @mikiesherrill.bsky.social — I interviewed you last year. Do you remember?” @jesscraven101.bsky.social brings receipts as state police show Sherrill claiming to care about freedom and rights to get elected was hot air. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DZAn2GM...

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin — the third-richest man on the planet — is reportedly spending $57M to defeat California's proposed billionaire's tax. So he and his fellow oligarchs can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

A woman named Lonna Drewes at a news conference just now accused Eric Swalwell of drugging her drink and sexually assaulting her. Here's part of her statement.

Brian Laline, the Editor of the @silive.com , gave a warning to Americans: it’s time to wake up. It hasn’t even been a week since Trump called for completely wiping out an entire civilization. And it seems as if many people moved on. #Iran #Politics #Trump #NY11

Please don't forget this story. They deliberately dropped off Nurul Amin Shah, a blind refugee, in freezing weather miles away from home. Less than a week later, he was dead. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

His own inherited wealth ✅ Taxpayer dollars for what sure looks like a campaign ad ✅ NYS Democratic Party sending a mailer for him ✅ So many sketchy sources of money @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co is already using in his campaign. (1/2)

Steve Bannon: “We can use this, ICE helping at airports, as a test run, a test case, to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterms. Mike Davis: “I think we should have ICE agents at the polling places” Saying the quiet part out loud.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

ICYMI — @crockett.house.gov 🔥 to Bondi: “You’ll be remembered as one of the worst Attorney Generals in history.”

UTAH auto body shop owner: “You guys broke the fucking window to get in here! Where is your warrant??” Trump’s ICE goons: “Yes we did… We don’t need one.” 🤔 Rights are gone under this regime. (From Somali Snaps: www.instagram.com/reel/DUKpzuS...)

Omar: I instinctively tried to, like, punch him…, I was raised with three brothers who were older than me. You learn that maybe taking the first punch when somebody is bigger than you yields you better results.

Ilhan Omar: “He was saved by security”

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

“You raise your voice, I erase your voice.” 🤔 Trump’s America. 🇺🇸

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

I will give Suozzi more credit than he gives himself. He knew what the vote was. He just figured the way to "win" was to support the funding because that's more "centrist" and buck the Democratic majority. But morally, he knew what this was about. He ended up wrong morally AND politically.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.
