Timothy McVeigh seems like a forebearer of our current moment in many respects, but this license plate business is a bit too on the nose.

Using public land for homes isn't inherently bad since declining military bases and USPS real estate are near cities & could become mixed-use housing owned or leased by the govt. But Mike Lee wants suburban sprawl on land nowhere near where people work darrellowens.substack.com/p/will-selli...

But we're going to touch the stove and we'll be touching it more than probably ever before. And we're not going to get burned. We're not going to get burned

Pickup truck full of guys with machine guns. No markings, no lights, no sirens, no blinkers. Just rips through an intersection and causes an accident, guys jumping out with machine guns like an armed robbery

This could actually be a really good idea

And it shouldn't have taken a court to rule on it. It was clearly unconstitutional when it was passed. That didn't matter to our foolish state legislators. This is what they waste our tax dollars doing. What an embarrassment for our state. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Mike Johnson advocating for kidnapping children. Any Dem worth a shit will make it clear that anyone can buy a gaiter and a fake ICE vest. And he's saying go willingly with them. There is no reason a federal employee shouldn't have to show their face. And this should be an easy one to win.

FREE ANTHONY ORENDORFF PRESS CONFERENCE TOMORROW, Sat, June 21 @ 10 am - Anthony’s lawyers, family, & community members are hosting a presser outside Van Nuys jail LAPD arrested a local photojournalist during an immigration raid. This needs to be a bigger story. Please share!

Historians - when you start writing about the causes of the upcoming civil war, start here.

Everyone in the chain of command who allowed this — from the platoon leaders to the 18th Airborne Corps commander — needs to be reprimanded if not relieved. We don't ask soldiers their political allegiance and we don't assign them tasks based on political allegiance.

Did you know there are billionaires in this country who own farms - LOTS of farms - and that your tax dollars are going to subsidize them? www.ewg.org/news-insight... #WasteAndFraud

The reconciliation bill's hikes in farm subsidies "are brazen.... the GOP doesn’t just spare millionaire farmers from cuts, they aggressively expand inefficient farm giveaways by $57 billion." And they "lavished the biggest subsidy increases on GOP parts of the country." [Chris Edwards, @cato.org]

So the guy who can singlehandedly set US tariffs on smartphones is launching his own US smartphone company do I have that right

When Trump finally dies there will be calls for civility and “respect for the office” from even his harshest critics and I’m telling you right now I plan on saying things so harsh they might knock the earth off its axis

It was never about going after “undocumented criminals” and “undocumented illegals” and people who didn’t come here the ‘right way’. They are removing LEGAL DOCUMENTATION from immigrants, who did go through the process. The “right” way. It is racism, and always was, racism.

Folks, @resnikoff.bsky.social is right

Today has me laughing out loud at the regime as it seems more cracks are forming and they can't keep the circus together forever. States rights though!

If we had a functioning news media, they would be loudly pointing out these protests have been largely peaceful - and that Trump PARDONED the actually violent, actually insurrectionist mobs from Jan 6.

He's riffing on a specific poem with a very ugly history related to European colonialism in Africa. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxim_g...

See? If I simply *accurately describe* their behavior, I sound like an insane person. Anyway, here's the story www.thefp.com/p/exclusive-...

This is beyond delusional insanity, it needs its own new terminology for how devoid of reality it is. This man is a deranged lunatic. I live in L.A., am out doing errands. L.A. is exactly like it is on any other day, with a few hundred protestors in a couple of spots in a city of nearly 10,000,000

I am literally begging reporters to stop calling illegal shit “charting new territory” or other crap like that. Most of the public doesn’t know the law and they are counting on you and you are dropping the goddamn ball.

Both statements are from last night. Note difference between how Trump characterizes conditions in LA ("RIOTS AND LOOTERS"), vs how the LAPD does ("Peaceful Protests")

FLAG: the SEIU is holding rapid response rallies to call for the release of David Huerta and an end to the ICE raids TOMORROW at multiple locations nationwide

Here is the link to the letter I sent. Feel free to share it, send it, drop leaflets from airplanes - whatever it takes... @resist.bot #resist #immigration #NationalGuard #Constitution #handsoff #veterans #indivisible #ACLU #taco #misemssummerofaction resist.bot/petitions/PA...

it's absolutely important to couch every statement from this guy in the context that he hired a person based solely on the credential that the guy strangled one of my neighbors to death. no background in software or finance, just murder.

The California National Guard just tear-gassed and fired impact munitions at reporters, children, and community leaders. Multiple injuries. National Guard has now declared an "unlawful assembly" on the streets. Not clear whether NG has legal authority to enforce that far away from federal buildings.

In a former life a looong time ago, I commanded a National Guard unit. Although though we were very well trained in our primary mission, I would never have put my men on the streets in a riot. It is not what soldiers are trained for. Federalizing troops without training in LA is inviting chaos.

this is what the people of la are saying "no" to. this is what we're in the streets about.

The repeated use of ALL CAPS tells you this is a calm and rational decision

Happening right in front of us. .Could not be more obvious

CATO Institute Director of Immigration Studies

Totally normal stuff in a democracy with “states’ rights”: Trump’s border czar threatens California’s governor, and the L.A. mayor is warned they could face arrest.

Protests never work which is why the police gas their own citizens to stop them

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

Good lordy, this. this is such a common cop move that dozens with the Phoenix PD were caught passing around a challenge coin a few years ago that was referencing both a neo-Nazi slogan and shooting protesters in the groin.

JULIETTE KAYYEM: “Active duty Marines for this, Hegseth? I mean, we were just reporting on it. There's music. The traffic is moving. Most people in L.A. probably don't even know this is going on.”

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.
