While everyone’s watching world records fall at SGDQ2025, I saw a different kind of save a woman on Facebook found a stray dog in Germany. His ear is necrotic, and he needs surgery. She’s raising funds to help him live. gofund.me/b7dcb077 #SGDQ2025 #AnimalHelp #PetRescue

This is just sick. via @ktla.com: Footage obtained by KTLA shows a young man crying, saying his mother had just been taken, and children and protesters running from tear gas that was deployed when a crowd gathered at an immigration raid at a Ventura County farm this afternoon

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

“If ICE was a military, it would have the 16th biggest budget in the world. You wanna talk about America First? Think about all the things we could do in this country, like giving a [hurricane] warning system to these folks in rural Texas, instead of plucking brown people out of their homes.”

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.  A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

"While the wildfires were raging in California, Ben and Ted Cruz had a podcast where they just attacked Governor Newsom and Karen Bass—that was while the fires were still raging. So spare us the grandstanding and virtue signaling about how this stuff shouldn't be partisan."

We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued. 66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job. Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone. Pay Black women. Period.

July 10th, 2025 So long, Old Man! The United States Court of Appeals, 2nd Circuit, bids thee farewell.

Phang: They never learn, do they? There’s a slew of federal district court and appellate court judges telling this administration that what they’re doing is illegal and unconstitutional—but they don’t care. In response, they just call them “rogue judges.”

PENCE: “TARIFFS ARE A TAX… American importers, businesses and ultimately consumers end up paying all of that $300 BILLION. We're paying that.”

“Then they started to talk about cuffing me, and that if the kids were here legally, what do they have to lose by answering. I told them that they still have their fifth and fourth amendment rights, and that they don’t have to speak to you or help with any investigation.”

A newly completed investigation by Wyoming’s largest county found no evidence of noncitizen voting in the 2024 elections, undercutting claims used to justify the state’s controversial proof of citizenship law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

On this date in 1776 the statue of King George III was pulled down in New York City. Because America didn't want a king who lived above the law.

Dersh weighs in on the Epstein controversy: “I know for a fact docs are being suppressed to protect individuals. I know their names & why they’re being suppressed, but I’m bound by confidentiality so I can’t disclose it. Files are being suppressed to protect them & that’s wrong.”

"All of these people, House Freedom Caucus included, predicated so much of their identities on not saddling future generations with all of this debt we can't pay off... All of these motherfuckers voted for it!"

Senator @johnfetterman.com — whose wife was an undocumented immigrant, and who said he was grateful that her family “broke the law” — now speaks up supportively of ICE as they terrorize others. What a tremendous hypocrite. WATCH:

A reminder that Brazil arrested and charged their former dictator Bolsonaro with planning a coup and trying to overturn the 2022 elections in their country. If only the United States had done the same instead of giving the plotter of a coup full totalitarian power of the govt.

Just saw this post — a dog found on the street in Germany, his ear necrotic, still waiting for surgery. It hit me hard. We talk about big emergencies under #FEMA, but this is one too. Quiet, painful, and easy to overlook. gofund.me/b7dcb077 #FEMA #KindnessMatters #AnimalEmergency

I think Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissents are an important exception to the "Supreme Court dissents don't matter" rule of thumb, because she is using them not to argue with the conservative justices, but to explain to the public that the conservative justices are liars and in the tank for Trump

TBH this could be a problem for them

Alligator Alcatraz. FL lawmakers are finally being let in—after Dems got turned away last week. Here’s the catch: the tour’s not ‘til Saturday They know the conditions are inhumane. Scrub the cages, hide the worst of it, and pray no one asks too many questions. Don’t let them sanitize the truth!

NEW: Sec. Noem has now admits "last mile" disaster communications weren't up to par in the Texas catastrophe. But while bodies were still being recovered on Tuesday DHS canceled a $3 million grant focused on improving precisely those kinds of "last mile" comms. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dhs-c...

BREAKING: Massive ICE raid ongoing at a farm in Camarillo, Ventura County, CA. Local news reports that an unknown number of workers have been detained. Almost 20% of US strawberries come from the county. US food supply at risk from Trump’s fascist thugs & Stephen Miller’s quota.

very proud to have pitched this headline lol

We are aware that immigration authorities are in the area targeting farm workers in the Camarillo CA area. We are on the ground doing what we can to help and will update you shortly. www.vcstar.com/story/news/l...

This is Cupcake. She overheard you describe something as having more rolls than a bakery. Thinks you better be talking about culinary school. 12/10

WOW: Trump weighed pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell for fear that she would spill secrets about his decade-long friendship with convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

‘Parishioners excused.’ That’s how bad it is. A Catholic bishop lifted the obligation to attend Mass because ICE might raid the church. Mass isn’t required “if a member of the faithful has a genuine fear of immigration enforcement actions.” The feds should be ashamed. Terrorizing the faithful.

I can’t believe this is real.

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

The rules are simple:

Note that the administration’s claim of a 700% increase in assaults on ICE agents is likely made up mostly of incidents like this: claims that a 71-year-old citizen “pushed” a masked armed agent.

Tear-gassing farm workers. Trump’s America. 😕🇺🇸

Fox News: "A shocking poll shows Texas Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is leading in the race for incumbent Republican John Cornyn's Senate seat."

This is the archetypal Brownshirt. Not even exaggerating. The literature describes them and the Stalhelm guys who preceded them in almost the exact same terms.

Former longtime Justice Department official: "We appear to be driving straight into an abyss... that holds no memory of what democracy is" =====>

This is what social media should have always been

It cannot be stated strongly enough that ICE is a Nazi organization that not only needs to be disbanded, but every single masked goon held responsible for their crimes

A local NYC baseball coach says he fended off ICE agents during a recent practice. Youman Wilder said caught feds questioning youth about where they're from & country of origin, so, he told feds to back off & kids to not answer! Shoutout all of our local heroes!

Delivering for the working people of this city is only possible through partnership with leaders like Congressman Espaillat, who has paved the way for immigrants like me.

DHS appears to accidentally confirm CNN's reporting in an unhinged reply to MeidasTouch on X, noting that "by Tuesday, FEMA had deployed" staffers. This aligns with CNN's reporting that Noem didn't authorize FEMA's deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday.

What if they just talked about his eyes?

This guy is hands down the worst congressional Democrat of my lifetime. Can’t get worse than this.

this would be active duty US troops deployed indefinitely on US streets? www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

not to be the flyspeck nyt copy as if it's the most important thing guy, but seriously wtf is this?

"Since the start of Trump’s second term, the Court has routinely allowed the administration to implement objectively unconstitutional actions by pretending that they’re simply making a narrow procedural ruling rather than blessing Trump’s wholesale destruction of democracy."

“It depends if you look Hispanic.” From Forbes: www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Hegseth paused weapons to Ukraine without telling anyone, and Donold's response was, “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?” That’s not leadership. It’s a confession.

Revenge of the Nerd.

Trump is pledging full support to Texas after its deadly floods – and rightfully so. But California has yet to receive $40 billion in aid to rebuild from January’s devastating wildfires. A president is supposed to govern for all Americans – not just those who voted for him.

Would love to know what’s going on here

The UFW is aware of the ongoing immigration enforcement activities occurring near Oxnard/Camarillo area. If you have a loved one that has been arrested call the rapid response network (805)870-8855.

Further confirmation from ICE HSI officers that they have been told to stop investigating pedophiles, human traffickers, and drug smugglers. Officers have been told NOT to take new criminal cases so they can instead go round up more random migrants. Morale is plummeting, especially at HSI.

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were a response to masked violent men who terrorized Black communities, violating their civil rights.The deployment of violent masked ICE ofcrs are tapping into this unique form of terror. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Mahmoud Khalil has filed a $20 million damages claim against the Trump admin — alleging he was falsely imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted, and smeared as an antisemite as the government sought to deport him over his role in campus protests at Columbia.

Paxton’s wife left him because he had a wandering eye.

Here is a list of reported conditions at the Florida Everglades immigration “camp”. These reports come directly from detainees and their loved ones.

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%. #NASADidThat

Over the past 6 months, Trump’s FEMA has canceled critical grants, fired folks left and right, and weakened its ability to actually do the job—including helping families prepare for and recover from the devastating floods in Central Texas. Texans are paying the price for his recklessness. (1/2)

What do you think is more likely, that Musk’s Nazi robot has made new discoveries in materials science or that Musk can’t tell when he’s being told scientific-sounding gibberish?

New: DHS tells police to brace for the anti-ICE movement to grow much bigger in threat bulletins last month that lists ordinary behavior, like riding a skateboard or livestreaming, as threatening to law enforcement. By me w/ records by @propertyofthepeople.org:

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

A former Justice Department lawyer has accused the Trump administration of “thumbing its nose at the courts,” saying his colleagues were being forced to choose between upholding the law and advancing the Trump’s agenda.

Associate Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson will end up being one of the heroes of this era if ever there are historians in the future who write about the fall of the United States She will almost never be in the majority on a major ruling, but she will have been the conscience of America

"'We are the federal government, and if we choose to take power away from a governor or away from a mayor, this is the new normal.' And my response is, I've seen this movie before. It used to be called a coup, and it happens in other countries." @mayor.lacity.gov‬ on the feds in LA:

This is my personal Sistine Chapel. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

All of the Trump administration officials in question who are attorneys must be disbarred. This is a sprawling conspiracy to undermine U.S. rule of law that involves attorneys, and that is something my profession cannot allow. There should be massive state bar investigations across the board here.

Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K. This is inexcusable. She should resign.

Don’t buy the polished crap from the White House. Texas flood deaths weren’t a surprise...they were the price of gutting services. Cut first responders...ignore warnings...and act shocked when people die? That’s not weather. That’s political manslaughter.

This is controversial for her career but the extent of the controversy, the extent of the provocation to anyone, is showing children being bombed as kids who deserve to live instead of faceless statistics, and if someone argues against that? Idk maybe that viewpoint should be the controversial one

This is extremely disappointing. When you've just admitted that a genocide is happening, it's bizarre to spend the rest of your post criticizing the manners and motives of the people trying to stop it.
