were you in Portland? They have a peacock crossing sign in on of the neighborhoods!

Trump fires labor statistics boss hours after weak jobs report The president implied that the BLS commissioner, longtime federal employee Erika McEntarfer, manipulated the data "for political purposes."

Firing the person who reports the data on job losses isn't going to create jobs...

Ohh so with you on that!!!

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest Video from Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, 18, puts fresh scrutiny on the harsh tactics used to reach the Trump administration’s ambitious enforcement targets

It's only getting worse.

we gotta bring back Rick Mercer's Talking to Americans. i know it's inhumane but these animals only understand humiliation

State Department Revokes Bob Vylan's Visa Over Glastonbury Performance The Department of State revoked Bob Vylan's U.S. visa following their performance at Glastonbury, where the duo advocated to 'free Palestine.'

Revoking an artist's visa for their speech, no matter how controversial, doesn't make us safe.

The government should not be policing the artistic or political expression of citizens, visitors, or anyone else.

NYT alert: New York City Rent 20m ago Increases of at least 3 percent were approved for one million rent-stabilized apartments, despite Zohran Mamdani's call for a rent freeze.

this is so perplexing do they think that we think that Zohran is already mayor?

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL LOSE HEALTH CARE IN YOUR STATE? THAT’S 17 MILLION LIVES REPUBLICANS ARE PUTTING AT RISK @warren.senate.gov

Republicans want to rip healthcare away from 17 million Americans with Trump’s Tax Scam.

Every country should be like Spain.

Nice work Bezos. Why not wash your hands of it and sell the paper to someone who won't fuck it up? Fewer headaches. People will cheer you for once.

Senate Democrats are standing up right now for our constituents who will lose their health care, who will face rising energy costs, and who will lose access to SNAP benefits.

We have to do whatever we can to stop the “Big Beautiful Bill”.

Trump’s justice department issues directive to strip naturalized Americans of citizenship for criminal offenses Memo says those subjected to civil proceedings are not entitled to an attorney like they are in criminal cases

So now you are definitely not safe, even if you are a citizen. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Cartoon of a tree with the 3 branches of the US government. A Supreme Court justice is sawing off the judicial branch.

It’s Not Just a Constitutional Crisis in the Trump Era. It’s Constitutional Failure | Washington Monthly While Trump defies constitutional norms, Congress remains conspicuously silent and the Supreme Court has abdicated its responsibility.

the only thing keeping Trump v US from topping the list of worst Supreme Court decisions imo is that it hasn’t (yet) led to the dissolution of the United States washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/27/i...

Several of my books have been banned and challenged. I've never seen them on banned books displays. Being banned has, if anything, decreased my sales. Worse, it sends a message to the queer kids I wrote the books for that their stories are shameful and something to be hidden away.

It’s more critical than ever that Democrats do everything in their power to fight back and stop Trump’s agenda in Congress and in states with Democratic leaders in power.

In a 6-3 vote on Trump v. CASA, the MAGA Supreme Court ruled to narrow the scope of nationwide injunctions, limiting lower courts’ ability to broadly protect us against Trump’s onslaught of illegal and unconstitutional actions. 🧵

Burgess Everett on Bluesky: “News: Schumer + Democrats are considering having the Senate clerk read the entire GOP reconciliation bill on the floor. No decision yet on whether to do it.”

This is a no-brainer. @schumer.senate.gov must do everything in his power to delay and disrupt the upcoming vote on Trump’s Tax Scam.

Tell your Democratic senator to make this vote as painful as possible for the GOP: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Our pressure is working. Stay strong — keep calling, texting, writing, and sharing. We MUST stop this bill, and we CAN.

Attend a No Kings Protest yesterday? Thank you for showing up! An estimated 4-6 million people protested across the country. Wouldn't it be amazing if all of us picked one issue and used @5calls.org to contact our reps today and tomorrow?

Let's do it.

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco

Yesterday’s demonstrations across the nation in favor of democracy and against Trump’s dictatorship revealed the power of the people.

Millions reasserted the “We” in “We the people.” Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-5b2

Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

The New York Times front page.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.
