I always just assume this is where all cops are mentally all the time and up until now they've been forced to suppress it because of pesky things like laws and rights.

When I catch the “anti-war” crowd opposing war

The U.S. must push for a ceasefire. This war helps no one but to give Netanyahu a little bit more time in office. We mustn’t engage in yet another war. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

The rule of law has come to an end.

It seems every poll I see lately has Pete Buttigieg at the top of the field with AOC nipping at his heels. It’s a sign that primary voters want fresh young faces with progressive ideas. Both would propel the party to new height. Change isn’t coming — it’s here. floridapolitics.com/archives/742...

Best Pride gift ever 🌈

Protesters have entered the office building where Peter Thiel’s West Hollywood office is located:

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command" - 1984

Former Republican David Jolly is behind current Republican Byron Donalds in a general election march up. An ex Republican didn’t work last time, doubt it will this time. The Democratic primary here is ripe for a progressive to surge Mamdani style. floridapolitics.com/archives/742...

Police forces that threaten their own community are threat to maintaining a civil society. Wayne Ivey is calling for chaos and should be removed from office. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/06/13/b...

Yes, Zohran Mamdani’s rise has national consequences for the Democratic Party. Even if he doesn’t win, the fact is the party base is increasingly rejected the politics of the old guard. Just as Obama ushered in a new era, the next one is about to begin.

These are the 7 Democratic senators who voted to confirm Sen. Padilla’s assaulter, Kristi Noem: Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.) Sen. Maggie Hassan (N.H.) Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.) Sen. Andy Kim (N.J.) Sen. Gary Peters (Mich.) Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) Sen. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.)

Elon Musk’s solution to the youth unemployment crisis:

re the piece below it was so terrifying to me as someone that has reported on fox news for years now to read about der sturmer and how they would play up lurid stories about supposed jewish crime and think to myself, "yeah, thats just how fox pushes narratives about transgender/migrant 'crime'"

NYC’s mayoral primary seems to have accidentally become a turning point for the Democratic Party. All the old wisdoms from the “it’s just a messaging problem” wing of the party are being disproved. Democrats thought they could ignore their own voters. They were wrong.

Kristi Noem has that rare ability to shoot her dog in the face and it *still* not be the worst thing she ever did in her sorry, lying life.

It’s a dangerous game to go after Mamdani for his support of Palestinians. By hyping up this difference while Mamdani keeps gaining in popularity, it disproves the idea that pro-Israel policies resonate with primary voters. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2025...

I’ve noticed media pushing a bizarre narrative claiming Zohran Mamdani is not “experienced.” This didn’t stop Obama or Trump. I think voters understand a 33 year old won’t have as lengthy resume as the fossils in power — for voters that’s likely the point.

No, Blue States are not safer than Red States. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Senator Padilla was violently assaulted for doing his job. If this is how federal agents treat a sitting U.S. Senator peacefully asking questions, how far will they go?

Great minds think alike. www.semafor.com/article/06/1...

Student loans will cripple the economy. Democrats should stop saying it’s a loan and call it what it really is: A crushing tax on the middle class. www.latimes.com/business/sto...

being told in my mentions that democrats are fighting very hard against the right while also scrolling past pictures of democrats playing baseball with pro-fascism republicans last night. make it make sense.

The U.S. economy shrank slightly in the first quarter of 2025, while jobless claims continue to climb. We are likely already in a somewhat mild recession that was likely avoidable. Trump’s insanity not only got us here but will certainly make it even worse. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/06/12/u...

NEW: third poll (AP) now out in as many days showing Trump under water on every issue including immigration (53% disapprove). Trump’s overall approval rating now down to 39% Bonus: 60% think Trump’s dumb tank parade destroying the streets of DC is waste and abuse. apnorc.org/projects/mos...

1. In an extraordinary public flogging, the Florida State Board of Education repeatedly threatened a school superintendent with criminal prosecution unless he removed a Judy Blume book from all library shelves. One member called the district librarians "child abusers."

For those that don’t understand: Police are incentivizing armed protests. This is dangerous and reckless on their part. Maybe not act like an occupying army when dealing with unarmed protesters.

The sad thing about the peaceful protests is how police respond. In Charlottesville, police said they focused on deescalation because the protesters (Nazis) were armed. In LA, there is video of police shooting rubber bullets at unarmed protesters for daring to ask for their badge number.

All gas, no breaks. Only you can make this poll a reality: zohranfornyc.com/events

Zohran Mamdani surges ahead of Cuomo in this non ranked poll. It’s looking more and more likely he will pull it off. It’s shocking, the Dem establishment says voters want DINOs so why is Mamdani winning? I just don’t understand 🤣🤣🤣 www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Boomers shut so many doors of opportunity behind them. Now the final door to opportunity is closing. A college degree once meant a fast track to a career. Today it means debt and joblessness. The end of entry level work will be the end for these companies. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Doesn’t look like Elon’s gettable Dems. Told you so. Anyway he’s a monster and a fool. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The DNC really earned the party its 19 percent approval rating today. Democrats found one of the few young people willing to help the party and they pushed him out. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...

trump's numbers suck on immigration. takeaways: - he should have been attacked on this issue all along - gop lite on immigration aint it (and is also immoral) - immigration aint an issue where you just pray it goes away

Dear WSJ, Yes, Focus on the Family is a hate group. Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈

No matter what a peaceful protestor may intend, it’s police who decide when to use violence and whom to use it against—and nothing we saw this weekend indicates their violence was confined to those who were not “peaceful.” https://trib.al/TLL9x8a

Liberals are trying to shift the atrocities ICE has committed onto Trump’s minions. Don’t fall for it. ICE agents have long been accused of heinous actions. It is an institution rotten to the core and liberals can not reform it into something useful.

American institutions and businesses are chicken shit loser weaklings

NEW: Despite a $1.3 billion investment that Portland said would improve the safety of homeless people, deaths in Multnomah County have quadrupled — from 113 in 2019 to more than 450 in 2023. With @streetroots.bsky.social‬

I keep saying LLM’s are mislabeled as AI and the hype around it all should be investigated for fraud. After Apple’s report on AI’s breaking down and ChatGPT’s inability to beat a 50 year old Atari console at chess, maybe it’s time for the AI bubble to bust. www.extremetech.com/computing/ch...

Miami Beach elected officials purge its city of the homeless and poor while giving the city away to developer Michael Stern. The city is one of countless across this country forcing out the poor and have created the housing crisis we have today. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...
