LAPD radio chatter about "protesters arming themselves with shields" and I will point out "arming" only applies to weapons, not PPE

Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock on Trump deploying troops to Los Angeles: “He is using the symbolism and the uniforms of our service members in a campaign to do what he's been doing for 10 years, and that is to convince us that we are at war with one another.”

BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom delivers a 'major address' in response to the Trump admin.'s actions in L.A. "Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but they do not stop there," Newsom said.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

This tiny device can shrink dangerous blood clots. It’s called the ‘milli-spinner’ and its invention was partly an accident…

what’s genuinely wild about all this is that we have people on tv talking about LA as this apocalyptic hellhole they must invade with military force and I’m here and I haven’t seen shit all day, not even an abnormal number of helicopters I drove to D&D tonight, I’m just hanging out! it’s fine!

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

Here is Trump’s DHS Secretary calling Los Angeles a “city of criminals”

#GVerse #BreakingNews: NYPD & ICE mistakenly arrested a Chilean woman who was on vacation in New York City, leaving her 12-year-old daughter on the street alone. This is what happens when you embolden ICE to act with zero oversight. #Shitface47’s America. Share this far and wide! Repost!!!

See, the money goes into his personal account, so it's not a conflict.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

NSF just cancelled ALL grants to Harvard researchers. That’s right - physics, astronomy, bio, CAREER - ALL. Professors won’t get paid. Postdocs won’t get paid. PhD students won’t get paid. This is insane! If they can do this to Harvard, they can do this to your school.

Yes. This is amazing. Thank you, Episcopal Church

“Russia is giving us a very fine, very big wooden horse statue on wheels and we are bringing in right now past the defensive gates,” Trump added www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

“We had no choice but to make the lady that called the disabled Black kid the n-word rich, because you kept insisting Black people deserved to be treated as equals.”

Sesame Street had him pegged back in 1988.
