The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

Superintendent of Iowa's largest school district detained by ICE Des Moines Public Schools confirms that Superintendent Dr. Ian Roberts has been detained by federal immigration officials.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

Rep Eric Swalwell (D-CA) asks Kash Patel if Patel told Attorney General Pam Bondi that Trump's name was in the Epstein files

This was what happened next =====>

This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.

Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

State Department slashes its annual reports on human rights Required by Congress, the reports no longer single out things like rigged elections or sexual violence against children as human rights violations.

Today, we arrive at full-on Orwellian foreign policy. Once a proud statement on the best of our ideals, the annual State Department Human Rights Report issued yesterday reads like it was penned by the worst human rights abusers. Because it was. 1/🧵

This is how democracies die.

Step 1: Dislike the facts.
Step 2: Attack the fact-finders.
Step 3: Replace them with loyalists.
Step 4: Control the "truth."

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.

We are living in precarious times.

They bend every law, they break every law, they hack voting machines, they deploy roving gangs of thugs to steal people off the street, they openly embrace racism, they lie nonstop, they incite political violence, and much more. Their evil knows no limits. Then they claim to be followers of Jesus.

Rick Steves on Iranians:
“I cannot remember filming anywhere with more gracious people, more friendly people… I care about the Iranian people. That’s 90 million people. That’s a lot of good people.”

This is a devastating ruling. You can read it, and Sotomayor's biting dissent here: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Starting to think these folks aren’t the “free thinkers” they think they are

We’ll never know what could have been, but we do know they chose to believe him and not her, and now they are making up excuses for their votes that put us all in harm’s way.

Don’t think this is a one-off.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

You know what’s more American than installing 88 foot flag poles at the White House? Following the Constitution.

Love this man and his music ❤️

It wasn’t just embarrassing for Trump. It humiliated our military, all because a wannabe dictator wanted a birthday parade to feed his authoritarian ego. NO KINGS DAY

Protesters formed a human banner at Ocean Beach during the "No Kings" protests in San Francisco. The protest is among thousands of nationwide demonstrations that took place today against Trump.
