Musk promising to cut $2T by "running the Govt like a biz"—but succeeding only in starving 300K people to death by gutting US Aid—proves again that billionaires don't know how to manage money except to exploit & kill low income people. Stop trusting billionaires. Start taxing them out of existence.

Some good news: the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers reached a landmark tentative agreement with CBS last week. The workers secured major pay increases, provisions over the use of AI, and other historic wins. Unions can give us hope even during dark times.

Trump just got SCOTUS to rule that 500,000 previously documented people are now undocumented. A reminder that whenever MAGA cultists claimed they only opposed "illegal" immigration and not "legal" immigration, they were lying. They oppose non-white people, because MAGA is a white supremacist cult.

Statement from Buona Forchetta about the ICE raid last night. 💔

Everyone knows Trump doesn’t read, but this is bonkers… Tulsi Gabbard is considering bringing in a Fox News producer to turn Trump’s daily intel briefings into Fox-style broadcasts to compensate. NOTE: Trump’s only taken 14 briefings as of May. Biden took 90. Obama took 63 in the same time frame.

Trump is ominously obsessed with crushing Harvard. #harvarduniversity #Harvard #Trump #cartoon #satire

Bravo, PSG.

Three children zip-tied by ICE at the San Antonio immigration court, ages 9-12

It appears ICE did not present a judicial warrant, had no right to enter this restaurant, no grounds to demand IDs, no authority to search computers or people, and no legitimate basis for arresting these two workers. Worker solidarity means refusing ICE demands. timesofsandiego.com/crime/2025/0...

Watch #JoniErnst dig the hole deeper. She is absolutely ghoulish here. She knows this is about healthcare. She knows how she’s voting and she knows she’s going to hurt her constituents and she does it nonetheless. That’s a description of someone who’s in it for herself not ordinary people.

I wrote a new thing about Bobby Kennedy's crusade against vaccines in the context of H5N1. He trashed Moderna, and if there's a pandemic, he'll cash in on that decision. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/great-week...

Meanwhile, in opposite land, vaccinating vulnerable people is eugenics. Jeffrey Tucker, the proud child labor advocate behind the GBD agrees.

Ton-That co-founded Clearview AI w/ $$$ from Peter Thiel. In Oct 2016, Ton-That “partied with…Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, who initiated new members into his gang as Ton-That watched.” Ton-That “huddled at this event w/ Jeff Giesea, a Thiel lieutenant... 1/

Curtis Yarvin goes on @cnn.com, confirms that he wants a monarchy to replace democracy, says racist things and informs @hadasgold.bsky.social that he's in touch with Trump staffers. Nice to see the mainstream press catch up on this dangerously weird ideology. www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/p...

Yes. The Panda Express. A new fusion transport that serves orange chicken and tacos.

ICE is raiding restaurants and disappearing workers. Communities can––and are––responding to stop them. Know what to do if ICE pulls up to your restaurant or bar. Read Raeghn Draper, executive director of Chicago hospitality worker org CHAAD, on exactly this issue. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

Elon Musk has an illegitimate position in the government and has committed countless crimes against the United States and its citizens. He’s also a racist, misogynist, trans hating, Nazi and overall loser.

Alan Grayson was right.

Asset tests should not be reinstated. They are a predictably ineffective and cruel administrative burden that make it impossible for the very poor to have basic dignity. From @pamherd.bsky.social and I in the @aeajournals.bsky.social‬ Journal of Economic Perspectives www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

In April, we took to the streets for the biggest day of civic protest in years. No Kings Day on June 14 is going to be even bigger, with more events in more places to reject Trump’s authoritarianism. Please join us at your local No Kings Day event in two weeks: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

DOGE’s biggest efficiency? Reminding us that billionaires should never be allowed near federal power again. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

President Trump has promised to attack drug gangs and called for the death penalty for street dealers. But he has also pardoned more than 20 people serving time for serious drug crimes, some involving violence.

I drew Trump as a chicken back in 2016. Nothing has changed.

I grew up in the US in the 1980s, so exceptionalism is a defining trait. My default setting is USA #1. I can’t accept that making America great again means voluntarily stepping off the podium and relinquishing our medals. It’s the least American thing we could ever do.

This is so out of control. ICE is acting like an invading army. It must be stopped.

The use of inappropriate clothing and weaponry that makes them look more like military cosplay terrorists than actual government agents performing a garden-variety low-risk domestic police action is both intentional and incredibly dangerous.

BREAKING: ICE RAID reported at Buona Forchetta tonight about a mile up the road in San Diego. Smoke bombs were used to disperse the crowd. FUCK ICE. WTF?!

Damn. This is dramatic. I had heard a couple days ago that a Nadler staffer had been arrested but was waiting for confirmation. So now we know what happened; ICE officers barged into the district office trying to arrest other people, handcuffed a staffer who pushed back, then let her go, no arrest.
