Jeffries: "You got some people in the town who go to church and pray on Sunday, and then they come to Congress and prey on the American people. I'm not down with that kind of faith. That's not the faith that comes out of the Gospel."

Supreme Court clears way for deportation to South Sudan of several immigrants with no ties there The Supreme Court is clearing the way for the deportation of several immigrants who were put on a flight in May bound for South Sudan, a war-ravaged country where they have no ties.

This is a bizarre ruling by this corrupt SCOTUS. How could they agree to have people sent to any country outside its jurisdiction? How do those people appeal for justice?

Blow Out (1981)
Directed by Brian De Palma

With ICE's *enormous* new budget and its ability to hire *many* more agents, the United States is about to enter an era of brutal domestic terrorism that we've never seen before.

Bluesky has the juice

How did the poor guy mowing your lawn every two weeks become the biggest national security threat, rather than a Defense Secretary posting war plans on Signal?

Patriotism isn't about building walls, punishing immigrants, cutting taxes for the rich, attacking the press, or dividing us by race & faith.

True patriots don't pander to divisiveness or hate. They work to confirm the "WE" in "We the People of the United States."

There’s something SERIOUSLY WRONG with a political system like this.

A new mural in France depicting Lady Liberty covering her face in shame was unveiled one day before America's Independence Day.

Ghouls celebrating and jeering

MAGA rejoices as it strips 17 million US citizens of healthcare, basic services, gave over $150 billion to the regime's loyal ICE secret police force, and billions of dollars in tax breaks to billionaires. Look at them smile and laugh, so happy to destroy millions of lives.

The Bill Moyers that obituaries missed The “secular preacher” of TV journalism was also a ferocious critic of corrupt politicians and corporate titans—and the spineless media that enable them.

Few people have embodied the best of journalism—its ability to cut through BS, its capacity to uplift those who’ve been wronged, its burning appetite to tell the stories people need to know—like Bill Moyers.

We’ve never needed him more, writes @monikab.bsky.social.

Kyiv brutally attacked by a series of Russian terrorist attacks overnight as the Trump regime withholds agreed air defense equipment from Ukraine in an effort to aid the Kremlin.

"He predicted, I remember, that human slavery would come back, that it had in fact never gone away. He said that so many people wanted to come here because it was so easy to rob the poor people, who got absolutely no protection from the Government. He talked about bridges falling down and water mains breaking because of no maintenance. He talked about oil spills and radioactive waste and poisoned aquifers and looted banks and liquidated corporations. 'And nobody ever gets punished for anything,' he said. 'Being an American means never having to say you're sorry.'" - Kurt Vonnegut, Hocus Pocus

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

Firefighters from Mexico have arrived to help fight wildfires in Manitoba. We deeply appreciate Mexico's support and solidarity with Canada and Canadians. 🇨🇦🇲🇽❤️

Screenshot of a poster saying

‘Morning…Mourning 🌺💔💙🇺🇸🇺🇸💔

The image features the American flag in the background, with a prominent bald eagle, which is a national symbol of the United States, superimposed in the foreground. The text at the top reads "LAND OF THE FREE," and the text at the bottom reads "HOME OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST PRISON POPULATION." This juxtaposition of imagery and text seems to convey a critical commentary on the notion of freedom in the United States, highlighting the paradox of having a large prison population.

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.
