Two Democratic members of an independent privacy board were unlawfully removed from their positions by President Donald Trump, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday. On @therecordmedia.bsky.social therecord.media/intel-oversi...

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

MEMPHIS — YESTERDAY: “He’s not a criminal!!” ICE agent clumsily PULLS A GUN on the daughter of a man they grabbed. Original post: www.facebook.com/share/v/12LM...

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

ABC reports Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being returned to the United States abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

California, btw, is a donor state - it pays almost 90 billion dollars more in federal taxes than it gets back

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

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.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

once again I must tap my own sign

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Mission Accomplished? 🤷🏻‍♂️ #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Musk calls for Trump's impeachment Who saw that coming www.axios.com/2025/06/05/m...

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

"If it involves handcuffs on wrists, it’s probably worth pursuing," [senior longtime Ice official, Francisco] Madrigal added. The point is not, and has never been, to protect U.S. citizens from 'dangerous illegal criminals.' The point has always been to fuel the fascist rage machine.

Repost if YOU are going to a No Kings Day rally on Trump’s birthday, June 14th. This is a great summary of what the events are for and why it’s important to TURN OUT! Please watch and share.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

If I said every hour of every day for the next year that Joni Ernst can go fuck herself, it wouldn’t be often enough.

You don't get a job in the Taco Administration unless you know jack-shit about fuck-all for the position you were given.

New Founding (NF)—a Claremont spinoff funded by Thiel ally Marc Andreessen—is disturbingly cozy with The Harvard Republican Club led by Leo Koerner. The anti-DEI crusade against Harvard echoes the anti-CRT crusade led by NF partner Josh Abbottoy against Grove City Christian College in 2021. 1/

I still want to know why Biden's age was a detriment but not Trump's. Nobody has ever offered anything approaching a decent explanation why this would be the case

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

"If Crater Lake were fully staffed this summer, it would have eight park rangers, said a current park employee who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. Instead, it has three...." www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

The temptation to always frame things as merely approaching but never actually crossing a red line has inured us to the reality that they are already defying court orders on a scale and as official policy to a degree unprecedented in American history.

Something I really miss about traveling abroad is actually the difficulty of communicating I can speak basic Spanish, but because I only have basic Spanish, it creates a fun challenge to connect with another person using basic vocabulary Colombia was a dream… a dream full of tanagers 🪶

This part

Never has any leader had so many people wanting to make the argument that “not wearing any clothes actually makes the emperor better dressed if you think about it.”

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

WATCH - @jessicatarlov.bsky.social on Fox: “If that was a Democratic dogemaster who showed up with a shiner and there was a report he did so much Ketamine he couldn’t pee straight… you would be leading your show with it.”

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

This is strange on fox, but good.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

Scoop: Texas police used Flock's license plate cameras to search *nationwide* for a woman who had a self-managed abortion. Claim it was "about her safety" www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...
