Yesterday in Humboldt Park, ICE goons pulled weapons on teenage activists Ben and Sam Luhmann. Just a month prior one had shoved 16-year-old Sam to the ground for legally filming their activities in Joliet, IL. The courage of these brothers is unmatched.
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 2d agoAn initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
And this came after the groom had allegedly abused one of the president's aides, Stephanie Grisham?
Professa Murray@kalimurray.bsky.social · 3d agoTo the extent that the media is treating this as a horse story: Max Miller is not a some random candidate from Ohio. This is a picture of President Trump speaking at the wedding of Max Miller and Emily Moreno.

BASH: I want you to use your bully pulpit to tells parents who have not vaccinated their kids that they should vaccine their kids for measles. Will you do that? Look into the camera RFK Jr: I'll say it right now. Parents should get their children vaccinated for measles.
Follow-up: Iran just called BS and said Trump lied again. They reaffirmed once again that ships can only cross the Strait via IRGC-approved route with permission. Same old story, different day.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 4d agoTrump again backs down, claiming Iran (and others) are begging for a deal so he can cancel the attack. Same old story: “locked and loaded” threats, then pause for talks on Hormuz and nukes. Get it DONE… until the next time.
This is an outstanding article. Thank god for women who say, “where’s the opportunity?” Instead of rearranging the deck chairs on proverbial Titanic. “Foster is a leader in the movement that has revolutionized telemedicine abortion care” Our bodies Our minds Our power #Pinks

I have been called an alarmist and worse by well meaning people who want to think it will just all be ok. The truth is it doesn't always end up ok and we can't pretend it will. Donald Trump is targeting Black voters and women to rig this election. We need to stand up, call it out and take action.

Trump threatens to pull Todd Blanche’s nomination and renominate him after the midterms. This makes the Epstein Files, Trump’s slush fund for insurrectionists, and tax fraud immunity major topics heading into the midterms.

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%. In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets. This is only the beginning.
Reminder that on his last day of his first term, Trump awarded a commendation to Dr Fauci "in recognition of his exceptional effort on Operation Warp Speed"

Senate Dems just announced a $40 million ground game investment across 10 battleground states. I’m pleasantly surprised. Instead of blowing it on expensive TV ads, they’re investing in field staff, new offices, volunteer programs, and outreach to Latino, Black, and Alaska Native voters. 1/2
