Don't be part of the problem Be the whole problem

ABC News suspends Terry Moran for branding Trump and Stephen Miller “world-class haters” on social media. The jet set at ABC preach objectivity, only to muzzle raw truth. Irony bites: guardians of impartiality silencing their own for a sharp tongue. #3E

I support the use of the National Guard to stamp out lawlessness so, yes, dispatch them immediately to the White House

Trump's National Guard deployment to crush LA immigration protests masks a cruel irony: 2,000 soldiers to "protect" by terrorizing vulnerable communities. ICE raids snag street vendors the ruling class sleeps safe. It’s a war on the desperate, not crime. #3E

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP DECLARES L.A. RESIDENTS TO BE IN “REBELLION AGAINST THE AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES” This declaration may well be a prelude to martial law. He’s illegally federalized the Guard in California and this looks very like the pretext he was waiting for.

abolish ICE and lock these agents in a dungeon.

What if putting the stupidest people in charge was a mistake?

We need details on this.

Honestly kind of fitting that this level of catty public breakup between two aging divas is happening during pride month

We’re still years away from knowing the full effects of even a single infection. I find it hard to believe that everyone just forgot that some viruses take years to fully manifest. #CovidIsntOver

BREAKING: ICE agents have deployed flash-bang grenades against Americans in San Diego as they continue their racist, haphazard roundup of non-whites. This will only get worse. And it will get worse because Trump wants violence. He knows violence begets violence, and that he—only he—has a military.

Look what Jake Tapper did to us. His garbage book—which contains none of the proof it claims to include—is the foundation a vile madman will now use to justify ending our democracy by undoing actions he’d otherwise not be able to touch. Democracy dies as Tapper swims in gold, Scrooge McDuck-style.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled the Trump administration must give the men they deported to an El Salvador mega prison the chance to challenge their detention in court.

This is why you need an Otterbox case for your phone!

It's time for the Pride Birds! #lgbt #pridemonth

An oldie that was partly inspired by a conversation with the great birder Laura Erickson. The name Bufflehead actually comes from the buffalo.

"Wishing all the homophobes a super transformative, educational month; a chance to put down their prejudice, listen and develop empathy and allyship."

Ukraine just carried out what may prove to be the most strategically devastating insurgent attack on military assets in the 21st century, an eighteen month cross border drone infiltration / raid potentially destroying a third or so of Russia's best long range bombers

BREAKING NEWS:

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?!

love to have people arrested by a private shadow police force in my functioning democracy

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

WE ARE RELIEVED TO HEAR A U.S. COURT HAS RULED THAT TARIFFS AGAINST OUR ISLAND WERE ILLEGAL AND A SPECTACULAR MISUNDERSTANDING OF GEOGRAPHY, BIOLOGY, AND REALITY. FLIPPERS UP UNTIL WE ARE PERMANENTLY SHOWN DUE RESPECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER -PM Tuxley II

Neither federal judges nor presidents have the authority to impose degrading conditions as punishment. The proposal to send certain people to a notorious supermax prison to intentionally inflict pain and suffering is a clear violation of this principle.

NEW: Court orders the release of the Russian scientist who entered the U.S. with inert frog embryos.

Carl Sagan speaking at MIT in 1987 on lowering our C02 emissions. Apply these words to any technological problem our world faces today and it holds up.

“Why did burning girls matter in Vietnam but not in Gaza?” The 'Napalm Girl' photo shocked the world and helped end the Vietnam War, writes @jehadabusalim.bsky.social for Zeteo, but a child surrounded by flames and other similar images in Gaza can't even provoke a ceasefire. Read/share/subscribe:

You know, you don’t really hear a lot of alien abduction stories anymore, and I think that’s a pretty good indication that we, as a species, really need to get our shit together

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Crockett: It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity, and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally. We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve, but this is just absolutely deplorable.

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

Please don't take me to an animal shelter or a bookstore unless you wanna see me full-on ugly cry until I get to take something home with me

shocked to hear that “...AI chatbots have had no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation" based on a study of 25,000 workers at 7000 companies by the National Bureau of Economic Research www.nber.org/papers/w33777 fortune.com/2025/05/18/a...

Defense Secretary Hegseth, once a Fox News personality, now barricades the Pentagon from the press. Leaks haunt him, so he locks doors and demands escorts. Transparency? A relic. The Pentagon Press Association calls it an assault on press freedom. #3E

Malinowski: A couple of years ago, Vance gave a speech.. The title was universities are the enemy. He said explicitly, we cannot achieve anything in this country as a conservative movement unless we aggressively go after the universities. That's what they're doing right now

Huge story. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/n...

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

NEW: The Pentagon has officially accepted the illegal $400M emolument from Qatar. abcnews.go.com/Politics/pen...

The absolute disgrace taking place today in front of cameras in the White House is yet another reminder that for all the talk of Joe Biden's failures, the people who failed America the most are our citizens. Empowering this guy (again) was a foreseeable disaster we'll be lucky to survive.
