Would a 2028 Harris campaign mean reliving 2024? Pete Buttigieg says no. “This is about bigger things than whether somebody gets their feelings hurt by a page in a book,” he said. “This is about the trajectory of Western civilization.” 🔗 politi.co/3RSLiin
Senate to confirm a rioter sympathizer as AG?? PATHETIC!! Full breakdown — rioter payments, Max Miller, Todd Blanche, Epstein survivors: www.standingourground.us/p/theyre-pay...
They're paying the rioters. They're protecting the abusers. And nobody's stopping them.
A typical week for the Republican Party

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."
Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington
I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

People actually need to prepare for delays due to bomb threats. Republicans are desperate and evil.
Indivisible ❌👑@indivisible.org · last wk.Stopping Trump’s election sabotage means preparing for all of the threats we could face — and being ready with community power, not panic. We're organizing in all 50 states so every eligible voter can cast their ballot and have it counted. We are democracy’s strongest line of defense.

Thus far Dem primary voters have been impressively wise in selecting their 2026 nominees. With a few exceptions, they’ve chosen further left candidates in safe blue races - giving their ideas a seat at the table - and more traditional candidates in tougher races. Let’s keep that wisdom going.
Escapism is extremely healthy in today’s America. If you need a pleasant morning read, this is it. 🌻

Question: Are Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil infrastructure having a real impact, not only undermining Russia's war machine but also making regular Russians feel costs of war in unignorable ways? Answer: Picture of car line waiting to get fuel, so long that there are port-a-potties along the way.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

Next week Senate Republicans are poised to give ICE and CBP tens of billions of dollars to funnel right to private, well-connected companies like GEO Group. What’s are they offering to help you? Nothing. For them, Delaney Hall is just the start. Their corrupt & cruel agenda will be up for a vote.
Last Memorial Day was the coldest on record. This year, we might drown if these heavy rains don’t end.
Masked federal agents tear gassing & pepper spraying children is a feature, not a bug, of Trump's America. Devastating @propublica.org report about the harm ICE has inflicted on kids. Sickening stuff. You can't reform an agency this evil or violent, you must abolish it.
Kids Are Being Harmed by Tear Gas, Pepper Spray Under Trump. There Could Be Long-Term Consequences.
In several cities, judges have chastised federal immigration officers, saying they used excessive force. One former DHS leader called ProPublica’s findings a “bright red flag.”
