"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now?

They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

Works for me! 👍

They Cancelled Colbert to Send a Message Free speech is under attack.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

Tiffany Cross called it exactly what it is.

Thousands have been disappeared. Immigrants are being sent to concentration camps while people debate the language instead of the atrocities.

They’re concentration camps. Plain and simple. This is state violence.

Trump pushed for it—here it is.

📌 Greg Abbott just called a special session for Monday, July 21, to redraw congressional maps and help Republicans cling to the House.

And the shady business didn’t start today

📌 TX-18, a Democratic seat, has been vacant since March. Abbott delayed it until Nov.

People died in his state, and the governor of Texas is making football comparisons.

NEWSFLASH: When the football team f*cks up, the fans don’t die.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

Couple things I learned today:
- Seniors are extremely fired up about this
- "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now
- People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA
- We all we got, we all we need

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

Newsom: "The notion that the US active duty Marines, these heroes, would be used to militarized the streets of an American city is an abomination. The Founding Fathers did not live and die to see that happen in this country for no reason whatsoever than vanity."

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

No Kings On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

The right to peacefully protest is fundamental.

It is in the Constitution.

No president can nullify it—because in the United States of America, we have no kings.

Why millions of Americans would lose health insurance under House GOP megabill With the Senate poised to consider the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, here's who may be vulnerable to health-care coverage losses if the legislation passes.

While Trump deliberately escalates tensions in vulnerable communities, don't forget:

He's also directing the Republican Congress to pass a budget that would abandon the very people who most need support. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/06/h...

Wow—this is what community looks like.

It’s heartwarming to see locals rally around Buona Forchetta after it was raided by ICE on Friday. In the face of fear and cruelty, San Diegans are showing up with solidarity.

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

How a real President honors fallen heroes.

Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US history—and it will result in hungry kids.

It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.

In times like this, integrity matters. Well done 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

Top lawyers walked out of Paul Weiss to start their own firm—right after the firm cut a shady deal with the White House to dodge an executive order that would’ve limited its business.

Some folks still have a spine.

Justice Sotomayor’s Message to Lawyers: Stand Up, Fight and Win In an era when judges are often assessed by their commitment to democracy, Justice Sonia Sotomayor stands as a stalwart in the pro-democracy camp.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”

It’s plain for all to see.

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

Pushing It In Our Face Trump wants us to applaud his corruption

This is the point: Trump’s corruption is no longer hidden or denied. It’s right out in the open. Flaunted and celebrated by the man who took an oath to uphold the law.

What does treason look like in its purest form?

The orange felon saluting and bowing to the murderous Dictators of Saudi Arabia, the same people who planned/funded the 9/11 attacks as well as ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
