Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

NYC, don’t let the mayor’s election be bought. Make sure you vote; make sure your friends vote; make sure your colleagues neighbors dogwalkers baristas tailors cobblers coopers blacksmiths vote. TURNOUT MATTERS. The ultimate margin could be slim, use all 5 slots in your ranks.

DON’T RANK CUOMO.
If Mamdani loses to Cuomo (as is likely), center-left pundits will again claim progressive candidates never win Black/working class/older/non-college voters. Those blocs do tend to be less support of progressive candidates. But a huge factor in this race is money! www.politico.com/news/2025/06...
Bloomberg pours more cash into Cuomo super PAC, bringing his total contribution to $8.3M
The ex-mayor has emerged as the single-largest contributor to the group.

They staged a violent coup attempt where police were killed. Staged an assassination where a boy was killed. Pardoned the criminals and turned them back on the America people. and now an elected official has been targeted and killed! Stop talking about peace!!!

Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in Minnesota.
Shooters were dressed like law enforcement and this is exactly why I’m pissed about ice officers wearing masks, driving unmarked cars and not being identifiable when they terrorize communities

Corporate media claims Wes Moore is anti-reparations, or worse, lied that he was pro-reparations to get elected.

In reality Gov Moore vetoed the bill arguing that enough studies have been done, and it’s time to move forward on the actual process of reparations.

Corporate media continues to fail us

The Trump administration is defying the Supreme Court, arresting judges and mayors, talking about arresting congressmen, denying due process and openly musing about suspending habeus corpus too.

There’s no constitutional crisis coming. It’s here.

Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.

-You cannot legally deport people without due process.

-You cannot legally deport citizens.

-They are defining down deportation to break the law.
Leavitt confirmed that the WH is working on deporting US citizens to El Salvador

This country is not great. MAGA is a scam. He's scammed poor low information white people and Christians who think God sent a Thrice married,constantly bankrupt reality TV star to save America. What he's done is destroy it for at least the next 59 yrs minimum.

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs
America is over. There is no coming back from this.

If we're lucky maybe we claw back some small-l liberalism for our daily lives. But even that might be too much to hope for.

The rest of the world has to move on from us.

They now know that the American people can't be trusted.

They're right.
