“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Marines in Los Angeles, remember, your oath is to the Constitution, not the sitting president. Maybe you're afraid to be the first to call out the treason taking place. When Marines ignore the law of the land, this country is doomed. Never forget your duty to your country and the people you defend.

Making signs for tomorrow? Many sites don't allow signs on sticks, but two layers of cardboard taped together with duct tape around the edges makes a sturdy sign that it comfortable to carry, and you can even pick a tape color that accentuates your sign. #NoKings

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

There's a fun little nesting doll of fascism in this, from -They tackled and handcuffed a US Senator -For asking a question of an admin official -Who had just stated plainly that the federal government wanted to "liberate" a city/state from its leaders

D.A.M. (Douglas, Ali, and Mary Pat) is back at the Super Legit Spectacular THIS FRIDAY NIGHT. We're up at 7:30, and you are highly encouraged to come see Rollin' in Riches at 7:00. Pay whatever you feel like paying and stay for the whole night. You need to laugh. This is a great excuse for it.

Admin ordered to return National Guard to control of California

Mike Johnson does not think that elected officials should be treated with a certain amount of respect. Noted.

What they are saying: Make America Healthy Again What they are doing: - Removing millions from healthcare access - Restricting vaccine access - Slashing the budget for medical research in half

I realize there aren't a ton of Hill staffers here, but if you're lurking, I think there is a huge opportunity for Democrats to shut down the Senate demanding that Noem resign.

Chicago, I do not wish ICE on you in any way. But if they do come, And if they try to get food at The Wiener's Circle Please, PLEASE send me the footage.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

Democrats in Washington should unite in doing whatever is in their power to bring this government to a screeching halt over this.

www.thedailybeast.com/jd-vance-cal... Oh, just two fellas hanging out, talking about fishing and Article 25.

When you’re Ukrainian , your sister sending you morning memes be like:

After all that, an even easier example: If no farm workers feel safe going to work and picking the food, NOBODY GETS THE FOOD.

It is wild to be dealing with policymakers who are so accustomed to never dealing with a consequence that they are genuinely unable to draw a line between their actions and a future result.

Senator Comer is so stupid and such an asshole that it can be impossible to tell which trait is dominant at any given time.

Trump cutting UC research grants will sabotage cancer cures, genetic breakthroughs, & medical tech advances. But it's worth it to own the libs by making sure Grandma dies sooner. These policies are like sawing off your head because your brain keeps disagreeing with you.

LA Tenants Union is saying they found where ICE is staying now, call and email ESPECIALLY if you often stay at Marriott and are willing to boycott the chain over this!

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

This provision is a disgusting attempt to undermine the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans by legalizing discrimination.  This policy underhandedly defies the values of the vast majority of Americans, who support marriage equality.

I feel like folks are missing the point of burning the Waymos and it's because the cops were accessing the Waymo data for surveillance. Of protesters. And that's a problem that's solvable.

Rep. Eric. Sorensen on Harvey Milk: "He stood up for the same people who are being targeted, persecuted, and vilified by this administration today ... picking and choosing who deserves that thanks -- it's not just wrong, it's un-American."

This is a key point. Passivity in the face of authoritarian violence actually provokes escalated and intensified cruelty. Whereas even in the worst case, fierce resistance creates deterrence and changes the calculus going forward.

How to use a platform:

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

Please make sure you do the following as quickly as possible, especially if you are immunocompromised: 1. Get every vaccine you need 2. Buy some high-quality masks (KF94, KN95 or N95). These fools that Kennedy just appointed are going to cause the reemergence of vaccine-preventable disease.

I am rewatching Breaking Away. (Recommended!) I just noticed for the first time that one of the student bike teams is sponsored by Arby's.

Some kind of helicopter currently circling #Koreatown in Los Angeles.

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...
