Watching Rachel Maddow's documentary on civil right's legend Andrew Young is firing me up for tomorrow's peaceful No Kings rally.

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

There is a stink emanating from the House of Reps created by the refusal of Johnson to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva. Very reminiscent of the stench that rose from the Senate in 2016 when McConnell refused to hold a hearing re Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court.Someone please file a law suit.

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrantsβ€”even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

🚨NEW: CBS is cancelling the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. This comes after the network caved to Donald Trump and settled a lawsuit.

REPOST if you stand with Colbert against CBS and Donald Trump!

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

Literally created by two Jewish boys, the children of refugees fleeing oppression in their home countries, one of whom was born in Canada before moving to Cleveland as a young child. And don’t forget one, the writer, stuttered, and the other, the artist, had bad eyesight.

Moskowitz: "Kristi Noem doesn't know what she is doing. She has no idea what she is doing when it comes to FEMA ... what she did is she broke it, and she broke it on purpose so that when it fails this summer, she can say, 'Oh, see, we told you -- FEMA doesn't work.'"

'A Slap in the Face': Missouri's GOP Governor Repeals Voter-Approved Paid Sick Leave | Common Dreams "The governor's action today demonstrates the absolute disdain Republicans have for working Missourians."

Last year, a majority of voters in Missouri passed a ballot initiative enacting paid sick leave.

Yesterday, Missouri's Republican governor signed legislation repealing it.

Do Republicans ever listen to the will of their voters? https://www.commondreams.org/news/missouri-paid-sick-leave

Trump loves ICE. Its Workforce Has Never Been So Miserable. A β€œmission impossible” deportation campaign has left many employees burned out and morally conflicted.

β€œThe frustration isn’t yet producing mass resignations or major internal protests, but the officers and agents described a workforce on edge, vilified by broad swaths of the public and bullied by Trump officials demanding more and more,” Nick Miroff writes.

Tom Homan (Border Czar) is enabling ICE’s racial profiling and kidnappings.

Todd Lyons (ICE Acting Director) said mass deportation should be like β€œ[Amazon] Prime, but with human beings.”

Stephen Miller (architect of ICE’s policies) is a known white supremacist.

ICE is a Nazi organization.

Trump administration will continue a program that allows certain employers to pay workers with disabilities less than minimum wage, effectively ending efforts to bring their wages in line with those of nondisabled workers.

Vice President Harris and Douglas Emhoff watch fireworks at the White House on July 4, 2024.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.

But I love our country β€” and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

About 3000 protestors showed up to the No Kings rally in Pepper Pike Ohio today, one of many protests in Northeast Ohio today.
The rain even stopped shortly before the protest started!

Stay safe everyone.
