It’s the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Whew!

Hey, @cnn.com, @nytimes.com, @msnbc.com, @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com and anyone else. How much do each of the "big beautiful " bunker busting bombs cost? Asking for a friend likely to lose their Medicare.

The New York Times covers trans issues the way Fox News covers ICE protests. Both lead the country to believe there is a conflagration by highlighting a few fires over and over, while ignoring the fact that most people just want to live their lives without the government in their faces.

BREAKING: ICE agents are run off the property at Dodgers stadium. Fans, protestors and the LA Dodgers themselves have refused ICE agents access to Dodgers stadium. Here is LAPD escorting them off the estate. More of this! Resist. (🎥 Kevin Takumi, Fox L.A.)

Your tax dollars at work!

every trans person is braver than every supreme court justice, cop, lawmaker, and ceo

The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

the Chinese practice their parades for months, sometimes years - this is not conducive to actual military readiness but it does look good! the sloppiness and half-assedness of this is indicative of both the general vibe of Hegseth's Pentagon and the lack of US tradition here.

Local news is reporting that the combined Boston Pride Parade and No Kings crowd exceeds 1 *million*

#NoKings. #NoKingsDay

White supremacist & Proud Boys leader showed up in Miami to provoke #NoKings rallygoers—threatening to “personally deport migrants.” DO NOT engage. Document from a distance. Don’t give hate oxygen. We move forward, not backward. Away from militias. Toward justice. We rise. Peacefully.

#NoKings in Salem, MA is lit!

The news isn’t being clear about this but to people hearing about these Minnesota shootings: Melissa Hortman is the Dem leader in the Minnesota House and was Speaker of the House 2019-2025. She’s probably the most influential state-level Democrat barring the governor.

It takes a village to create a safe environment and ensure an accurate record of events!

The @rcfp.org has published a letter calling on law enforcement to respect the rights of journalists covering protests, which is especially important today. @nenpa.bsky.social is among the signatories.

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year. Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally. I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data. Share widely.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

Trump just added another 2k NG Troops to LA.

RFK Jr. Removes All 17 CDC Vaccine Advisers in Major Overhaul — Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as head of HHS, has fired all 17 members of the CDC's vaccine advisory board, marking a significant policy shift. This controversial move reshapes vaccine advisory in the United States. #business…

unFREAKINGacceptable

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

All we want is healthcare.

Mike Johnson doesn’t think threatening to sic the Marines on American citizens is heavy-handed. Because Mike Johnson is heavily into fascism.

Prepare!

#AbolishICE Public safety alert: If you are family with a detained loved one, do not go to 300 N Los Angeles if ICE says they will let you see your loved one. It is a set up and they are detaining families.

Stop the ICE raids. Free SEIU California President David Huerta now!

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one. Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America. His words could not be more on point and timely. Please pass it on.

And this is why having American aviation communications rely on Starlink was always a terrifying idea

I’m not sure if you can overdose on schadenfreude but we’re about to find out

Rapid unscheduled disassembly.

Nature is the first Scripture of God.

Your periodic reminder that the Democratic Party assiduously avoided trans issues in 2024. I was there. There was not a two-sided conversation on trans issues. There was the GOP with their bullhorn versus Democrats largely pretending we don’t exist.

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries. Now she's running for state house. eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

only the best people!

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.
