Collective mental health hanging on by a thread as we watch the world fall apart in front of our eyes, funded by our taxes, but please steal an hour of our sleep too.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
No one will care what you look like as AI slop when we are in the middle of water wars.
I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...
#MI4 folks, here is one of the other Dems hoping to oust Bill Huizenga.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”
Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?
🚨 Trans people aren’t to blame for folks losing their SNAP benefits. 🚨
It’s Mike Johnson, the GOP, and the entire Trump administration.
This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.
This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings
Andrew, we're voting you off the island and back to the suburbs.
Our new ad just aired during Survivor.
Left: we want the Epstein files
Right: we also want the Epstein files
Trump: best I can do for you is the Amelia Earhart files
China purchased 54% of US grown soybeans last year for $13.2 billion
China has purchased $0 in US soybeans this year

Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
The weirdest thing about Trump deploying the National Guard to the Nation's Capital is that he still hasn't released the Epstein files despite campaigning on that pledge, probably because he's directly complicit in a massive sex trafficking operation that targeted children.
When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.
With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

This is what is happening right now.
The situation at the immigration detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz” has gotten so bad that detainees have been on a hunger strike for over ten straight days.
Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.
Trump: We are now respected around the world. 😂
The EPA is preparing a proposal that would revoke a critical 2009 legal determination stating that greenhouse gases are harmful to human health. That finding has been the backbone of U.S. climate regulations for over a decade.
Colbert has the highest ratings of any late night host.
"Financial reasons" my ass. This is political.
Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought."

I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Donald Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.
This is just sick.
via @ktla.com: Footage obtained by KTLA shows a young man crying, saying his mother had just been taken, and children and protesters running from tear gas that was deployed when a crowd gathered at an immigration raid at a Ventura County farm this afternoon
@zacbardsley.bsky.social and I talking about how everyone needs to wear the ice outfit. Black mask, sunglasses, black hoodie, etc. and then they won’t know who to kidnap. Imagine all of California dressed identically.
To call a member of Congress, you can find their contact information on their official website or use the U.S. House switchboard at (202) 224-3121. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov
Not at all perfect, but I finished my first bag and learned a lot. 🥰 🌈
A reminder as we enter into this heatwave, people are allowed to wear whatever tf keeps them cool and comfortable and it is none of your business. ☀️
