If Google map devs can change Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America at whim, should be a breeze to flag border-crossing bridges with clear & cautionary GPS warnings www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/n...

Nailed it

We have exactly one Greta Thunberg in this world and no, Netanyahu, you don’t get to detain her.

This administration needs to stop targeting international reporters, they’re the ones helping spread the truth. In multiple videos, officers are seen aiming directly at them, fully aware they’re members of the press. These so-called “non-lethal” rounds can absolutely be lethal.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Stop yelling at regular people for YOUR FAILURES.

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

👏👏👏👏

So much this…

The US National Academy of Sciences, established by Abraham Lincoln in 1863, is completely independent & non-partisan, created to give scientific advice to the nation. Trump is cutting $40 million in research grants forcing as many as 300 layoffs. www.statnews.com/2025/05/23/n...

True story bro.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

JUST IN: The Israeli military has boarded the Gaza-bound aid ship carrying Greta Thunberg, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition says.

Whatever happens in Los Angeles tonight is the playbook they’re going to deploy on blue districts across the country. And we warned people for months leading up to the election about exactly this.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Be careful andđź–•ICE

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Breaking news: In a rematch of their 2023 U.S. Open final, Coco Gauff beat top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka to win the French Open. She is its first American champion since Serena Williams in 2015.

White House security staff warned Musk’s Starlink is a security risk

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

Bernie, you rascal! You’re spot on here.

How much are they paying ICE agents for each person they deport? I know they’re evil and would do it anyway, but I’m just saying, I watched some videos and got a feeling about the way they try to SNATCH as many people as possible…it feels like a bounty system is in place.

Maddow: I think we both have the same instinct: quote the ruling, quote the deposition—show the document. The audience is smart and capable of taking in primary source material. We can give it to them straight and then talk about it from there—based on this kind of non-pasteurized document

Maybe too fine of a point but something can be better than the status quo or good or whatever without being land back. Land back has to do with fullest sense of Indigenous sovereignty, not just limited transactions under and within a supposedly superior settler sovereignty.

If you need a breather from all this bullshit, here's a photo of Earth. From Saturn. We're that slightly brighter star at centre right.

Chicago fighting back against ICE. You love to see it đź’Ş

DEAN: Did your department have any worry about the president growing his own business while on the job? LUTNICK: My trip to the Middle East was extraordinary. It was amazing. DEAN: I'm sure. I'm asking you, did the question of conflict of interest come up? LUTNICK: No DEAN: It is grotesque

San Antonio police have walked back on a previous statement that there was no evidence of a hate crime in the killing of actor Jonathan Joss, with the police chief now calling the statement “premature.”
