Here are things that happened at the DNC today: 1) Resolution calling to abolish ICE unanimously adopted 2) Brand-new early state calendar that reflects the full diversity of the Democratic base 3) Rejection of insider efforts to ban RCV from being used in presidential primaries Great results here

I proudly endorse this message from my grandparents ❤️

AOC on freezing her eggs: "In this political environment where this administration is denying reproductive care to women across the country, from abortion rights to the ability to carry out a healthy pregnancy, I think it's important for us as leaders to have these conversations and normalize them"

Fox: SOCIALISTS ARE EVIL Also Fox: This socialist is rad as hell

These electronic shackles—bound to a wrist and ankle—are a degrading form of modern-day slavery. Forcing a pregnant Haitian mother and her husband through this daily humiliation while they try to build a life is morally wrong. Digital incarceration is not freedom. Human dignity NOW! 🎥freedomnews.tv

Fuck I love AOC sometimes. She’s really matured and she’s great and communicating her thoughts clearly. Her saying “woke 1 was crazy” is going to earn her a lot of enemies on the terminally online loser left tho. But who cares, I think we all figured out by now they don’t vote.

AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins

Breaking News: Scientists have used A.I. to create new viruses for the first time, raising hopes for medical advances while also raising the possibility that the technology could someday be used to invent dangerous pathogens.

Pretty sure when you win the election it's a big election night. Pretty sure when your party's leadership all endorses the loser, it means the leadership is out of touch with the electorate.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.

Opposition to AI data centers is uniting Wisconsinites across the political spectrum. I’ve been on the side of the people since day one. As governor, I’ll call a special session of the Legislature for a moratorium on new construction. We won’t get Foxconned again.

"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

Horrifying footage out of Madison, WI. Multiple officers tackle a man off his bike, swarm him on the street, and fire 3 shots at point-blank range while holding him down in the intersection. Executed in broad daylight. This isn't policing—it's state violence. Demand justice NOW!

Hold them accountable, Madison!

Hundreds in Madison, Wisconsin are flooding the streets in response to Madison Police killing an unidentified man at point blank range. The police and ICE are the biggest threats to our community's safety. The people say ENOUGH is ENOUGH!

🔥DR. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social : “ICE has nothing to do with immigration. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets, weaponizing the idea of immigration against the Constitution. ICE cannot be reformed, retrained… ICE has to be ABOLISHED.” (And held accountable)
