The protests will stop when the kidnappings stop.

Rounding up people at Home Depot looking for day work and small local restaurants means you're not raiding the factories, meat packing plants, and job sites of big Republican donors.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

The feds kidnapping and trafficking people is a violent crime. Protesting it is fighting back against abuses of power. The government claiming protestors started the violence is DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s what abusers do when they face consequences.

How now-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem felt about a president potentially federalizing the National Guard one year ago:

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

CATO Institute Director of Immigration Studies

Of course the LA Times makes it look like a full on riot instead of showing that the mostly peaceful protesters were literally and constantly assaulted by ICE agents. The majority of fires that were started weren’t by the public but by ICE firing into the crowds and canisters starting fires. 🧵

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

The videos coming out of the Gestapo terror raid in Los Angeles today are absolutely horrifying and really should wake you up to the new reality of American fascism. It’s here it’s coming for us all and unless we fight for one another we will not survive.

"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...

The Chief of the Criminal Division at the US Attorney’s Office/Middle District of Tennessee RESIGNED the same day the Acting US Attorney signed the indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He writes: “do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons.” There are no coincidences.

9 out of 10 agencies targeted by DOGE for layoffs are liberal-leaning. Every single proposed GOP budget increase goes to conservative agencies. They're not cutting fat—they're performing ideological surgery with a chainsaw.

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.

Real missed opportunity for Giant Meteor’s 2028 campaign, ngl

Keep track of any Democrat or commentator or personality who advocates for Musk to be welcomed back into the fold. These are people you cannot trust and should be kept as far away from the levers of power as humanly possible.

The argument that Musk might face *personal* liability for some of the shit he did in government should get renewed interest right about now.

No. Way. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Four Democratic members of the SJC - Blumenthal, Hirono, Padilla, and Booker - didn't even bother to show up. Booker! Trump is shoving Emil Bove down Booker's throat, and he can't show up? Is he too busy hawking his new book? What a complete failure to meet the moment.

When you realize you transposed the area code of your phone number on your resume.

if you want to see a real financial crisis watch what happens if trump starts cooking the books on official govt data

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is preparing to rename Navy ships named after Harriet Tubman, Thurgood Marshall, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Medgar Evers, Cesar Chavez, Harvey Milk, and other prominent Americans who are not straight white men. www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-ne...

When people say that LLMs are not actually capable of doing the work that they’re advertised to do, this is a good demonstration of what they mean

The United States Justice Department micromanaging how the Harvard Law Review’s internal reprimand of a student editor is insane

A community that is willing to fight together and for one another wins against fascism. Fascists are cowards. We can and must make these forces afraid Solidarity to all those on the ground in San Diego fighting back ice and the Gestapo.

Yup, and Dems need to start saying this. It's a great time to be a criminal, there's no more fed law enforcement, they're all sipping coffee cosplaying in military gear while waiting for law-abiding migrants on their way out of immigration hearings.

The California Interscholastic Federation "has let trans girls participate in girls’ sports since 2013 statewide and in some school districts for 20 years or more. It was never a problem before Trump," writes Scott Ostler. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/ostle...

if it takes years, has to be consequences for all these people, and even more for those who gave the orders.

Our space program was spearheaded by a team of ex-Nazis led by Wernher von Braun who designed Hitler’s V1 & V2 program- the first missiles. Of the V2 it was said if you could hear it, that one was not for you.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will

Trump pardons drug kingpins even as he escalates U.S. drug war rhetoric www.npr.org/2025/05/31/n...

But everyone tried to call those of us on the academic and research side conspiracy theorists when we pointed out the fact that they were building a system of control and domination that would keep them in power indefinitely, using digital authoritarianism and fascist violence. Believe the experts

As it turns out, Mike Johnson is wrong. Who knew.

New York has a higher per-capita income, a lower crime rate and a functional insurance system.

When Trump started saying "America First!" everyone said "Doesn't he know that was Charles Lindbergh's pro-Nazi group?!" and my response was, you bet your life he knows, it's exactly the point.

Andor nails it — Many of Nazism's earliest supporters ended up in the camps. The man who wrote 'First They Came For' was an anti-communist Minister who cheered the incarceration of socialists. The poem is a warning about the dangers of supporting authoritarianism that you think works for you.

"7 of the cited sources don’t appear to exist at all." NOTUS: Epidemiologist Katherine Keyes is listed in the MAHA report as author of a study on anxiety in adolescents (and) was surprised to hear of the citation. “The paper cited isn't a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with."

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Jeffrey Dahmer is literally one of the most popular people in history. 89% of Americans say they like to eat red meat. But they put him in jail? I can’t believe this.
