Peggy Flanagan: "We need to rip ICE apart and stop from them from terrorizing our communities"

Friendly reminder

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

Well said, Doctor! 🙇‍♂️

that’s fucking right

JUST IN: Amy Klobuchar will win the Democratic primary for Minnesota Governor, per projections.

i burst out laughing

If you have enough money that you can blow $100,000,000 on avoiding taxes, you have enough money to pay $100,000,000 *on* taxes that will help your fellow citizens, you self-centered prick.

A big thank you to all of Minnesota’s poll workers and election judges working today’s primary. You make sure our elections continue to be safe, free, and fair.

He pays more to fight a wealth tax than he pays in taxes. He pays more to fight a wealth tax than any of us would earn in 10 lifetimes.

When it comes to your children’s health, listen to doctors. Not a president who once told Americans to inject bleach. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ immunization recommendations have not changed.

I am truly honored and humbled to be Minnesota’s Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. Thank you, Minnesota – for everything.

This is how you know we need a wealth tax

Dr. El-Sayed puts it plainly: “ICE has nothing to do with immigration.” I agree completely.

If we haven't been reminding you enough, vote because your life depends upon it.

With everyone obsessing over a handful of DSA candidates, the broader trend that might be getting missed across the country is that lots of Dem primary voters seem to have decided it is time for a new generation of younger nominees in lots of places.

BREAKING NEWS: The Seattle City Council just passed legislation that will (eventually) ban landlords from charging pet rent. Congratulations to everyone, especially my dog Lou, seen here asking me to cover him again for the 72nd month in a row.

Good. Now we need action. Tax fossil fuel giants to pay for firefighting helicopters. A cool space in every community. A maximum working temperature. And no new oil and gas extraction in the North Sea. We cannot negotiate with the science. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

Whatever happens in Clacton tomorrow Farage is going to end up looking absolutely ridiculous He wanted to prove himself to be the hero of the hour, taking on and taking down the mythical "establishment". Instead he's going to look like an absolute clown - surrounded by clowns at a clown convention

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

So proud of my friend @peggyflanagan.bsky.social tonight! Let’s go!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Devastating repost

I’ve heard a lot about airlines colluding with ICE and TSA to inform on migrants. Sickening betrayal. If anyone wonders how Germany got to where it did, it’s because of these kinds of collaborators.

Okay, this is funny—especially since it’s pretty much true! 😂😂

Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.

“Socialism is a scareword they have hurled at every advance the people have made… socialism is their name for most anything that helps the people. 1952. Truman. This is how stale their desperate fearmongering is. cc: @MarshaBlackburn

Newsom: "That $400m Qatari plane? That's not a $400m gift. It cost you $936m. That was what was appropriated as he's cutting food stamps and cutting your Medicaid. He put a billion dollars in the Pentagon budget to retrofit his private plane because that's going with him after the presidency ... "

EVERYTHING this man does is to divert the focus from the EPSTEIN Files. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

new chart for people to start arguing about

Climate breakdown isn't a political negotiation. It's a scientic reality borne out in lives lost and wildfires. Tax fossil fuel giants to pay for firefight helicopters, a cool space in every community and a maximum working temperature.

School meals should be free for everybody. Charging children to eat somewhere they are legally required to be for the entire day is crazy!

Guess I'm relaying this in a big part because "I agreed reading the title alone" ; but the heavy lifting was made by actually enjoying the article itself : how a dev get to reluctant to use a new tool, at adopting it full blast, to getting deeply disillusioned and have stories to back it up […]

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Great news, My Pillow seditionist and deranged fraudster Mike Lindell has lost the GOP primary for Governor of Minnesota, dealing another major election loss for the orange felon. Love this for them both.

Watching all these men try to shoot their shot with AOC is reminding me of that poll where a large percentage of men thought they could beat Serena Williams at tennis.

This is absolutely WILD. Here's the dashboard video posted by @fritschner.bsky.social. Fast forward to about 1 minute. An ICE officer jumps out of a van and pulls a gun on this woman immediately before lying and claiming she "almost ran us over." *profanity warning if watching in public.

SCOTUS seems to have forgotten this

Lake Mead lowest ever. Siberia hits 90. Vienna 105. Northwest on fire. Ocean heat record. Nothing to see here folks.

Prosecutors cited Andrew Tate’s own social media posts, in which he bragged about having multiple passports under different names, as evidence he and his brother Tristan are flight risks and should remain in jail.

crying laughing bc i know there are people who will see this and get so pissed they throw up

My office has been in contact with the woman who recorded this video of an ICE agent drawing a gun on her. She is a Northern Virginia native and a mother.

ABOLISH ICE, PROSECUTE THE MFS

NEWS: Trump BLOCKED. A federal judge granted a nationwide preliminary injunction stopping USPS from carrying out a key part of Trump’s executive order targeting mail-in ballots before the midterms.

I hope AOC finds love BUT “hot single president” would incite some of the most insane content ever produced by human beings

these guys need to go to jail for this, theres no coming back from this without it

The catering cart memes are doing me in ☠️😭 Please add any I missed in the replies. We need this laugh.

This is whole story is horrifying, and as a journalist covering ICE flights, I was struck by this sentence: “We were shipped to Texas overnight from Los Angeles in horrible conditions that I won’t elaborate on in this letter.”

The push for Harry Potter the TV show is going to be completely enormous—they're debuting it on fucking Christmas—and it is the responsibility of TV critics to contextualize this as rewarding the world's most transphobic billionaire (which is saying something) in everything we write about it.

Actress & producer Viola Davis is one of the few performers to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar & a Tony (EGOT). She is on TIME's 100 most influential people in the world, 2012 and 2017 & the NYT ranked her 9th on its list of the greatest 21st century actors. She was born #OTD in 1965. 🎈 #MovieSky

I hereby halt your doom scroll to show you this natural phenomenon known as a Light Pillar on a ski run in Austria. Kind of feels like you're being visited by god.

I love this. Senate candidate Annie Andrews says she decided to jump into the race the day RFK Jr was nominated to lead HHS. She’s a pediatrician. Saw what was coming & decided she couldn’t sit on the sidelines. THIS is what I’m talking about. Feeling called to serve & actually following through.

Every day I'm more vindicated than the last. They were sending me death threats for this.

Oh no 🤭

beeeeeeg stretch

The U.S. Healthcare System is Already Mostly Socialized And there's nothing radical about wanting to end insurance company parasitism.

DON’T FUCK WITH A FREE PRESS 🔥

I don't want to be judgy or mean but seriously, fuck transphobes forever, they are awful.

As Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said yesterday, “the original J/Z isn’t doing so well.” That’s why we’re working with Governor Kathy Hochul — using congestion pricing funds to renovate Chambers Street and partnering with the MTA to tackle extreme heat in our subway stations.

NEWS: Trump-endorsed Mike Lindell will LOSE the gubernatorial primary to Minnesota Speaker of the House Lisa Demuth. This marks yet another high-profile rejection of a Trump-backed candidate.

Daydreamer anatomy! Head in the clouds, prone to escapism☁️

Now, everyone do this.

OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's the Department of LOSING.

@jaketapper.bsky.social President of the United States does not have the Constitutional authority to suspend elections. You should know this. Maybe a remedial Civics class would help.

must’ve been terrible to date AOC as a regular man because one minute you’re dating a bartender who’s a bit out of your league and the next there are tabloid stories like “you’re not gonna believe how ugly this guy is”

Thank you, CD5 ❤️

You don't hear people saying "the most moral army in the world" so much these days

you perverts like staring at wisconsin, huh? you like looking at maps with all of our stupid little counties? you can't help yourselves but whisper "fond du lac" and "shawano" while reading about ballot drops. you want to taste a cheese curd? huh?

Lol My Pillow guy lost

He always announces in advance his intention. There won't be a free/fair election. And you know what the most amusing part of this is? Red State governors will instantly comply. It's over folks. We do not live in a Constitutional republic We already now know in advance what's up.

I’m glad that there’s been more coverage of this, but I must also point out that we - the actual Lebanese - have been saying that Israel’s goal is to make south Lebanon unliveable for nearly 2 years. I said this myself multiple times. We are simply not believed *because* we are Lebanese.

NO PARKING FOR ICE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS! 🚨 Organizers and Tribeca neighbors in NYC are rising up against ICE using local facilities like 35 Harrison! We demand community safety, accountability, and an immediate end to federal abductions in our city. ICE out of NYC. 🎥 VoteBeNyee

Put a sociopath in the White House and he’ll not think twice about using his own staff and other humans as decoys/potential collateral damage when he learns that HIS safety could be at risk if he flies on the ill-equipped Qatari bribe/lux AIr Force One. Not surprising, but utterly disgusting.

Next Senator from Minnesota btw

Remembering Robin Williams on the anniversary of his passing. His humor, kindness, and incredible talent continue to touch our hearts and inspire us every day. (July 21, 1951 – August 11, 2014)

This bit just now with Kornacki getting word Wisconsin election officials fucked up was pure cinema.

California just cemented our status as home to the strongest battery energy storage system in America with 21,000+ megawatts plugged into our power grid. We're powering the fourth-largest economy with clean energy that lasts long after the sun goes down.
