On the first day of civil war go up to the biggest state in the yard and lose a fight in front of the rest of them.

First, Israel cut Gaza’s last internet cable—blacking out 2.3 million people. Then it bombed Iran with no UN approval, no imminent threat. As eyes shift to Iran, Israel will escalate its ethnic cleansing in Gaza—and create more regional instability.

BREAKING: Iran has launched over 100 drones toward Israel, IDF spokesperson says

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

@universalhub.com Diane Guerrero is a BPS grad.

BREAKING Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has issued his first statement in response to the Israeli military and intelligence operations within Iranian territory.

Billy Long's sole qualification to run the IRS is that, in 2023–24, he ran a large-scale tax fraud operation. I am not making this up.

As @eltragon.bsky.social goes around the city speaking with business owners and seeing more owners choosing to close, he’s seeing the economic impact of these ICE raids on the horizon. ~ reporting for @lataco

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

Everything in the news today was insane

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Almost 35 damb years later…

Israel unilaterally & preemptively attacked Iran. If history has taught us anything, this is one form escalation that happens when a government faces no consequences for committing genocide UN & all countries globally must uphold international human rights law & force the Israeli government to stop

I thought Trump said there would be no more conflicts when he was president since he blamed every conflict everywhere in the world for the last 4 years on Biden & said that none of them would’ve happened if he was president. I thought he was going full Art of the Deal with Iran?

Imagine how crazy it would have been if Orlando or New Orleans won the NBA Finals this year, and then realize they had better preseason odds than the Pacers

Another weak dictator now escalating a crisis. This time it's Netanyahu

Lost in history is how good Cornbread Maxwell was.

All the brown folks who voted for Trump.... All the people who said he'd bring peace in the Middle East... Sigh.

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely *political* reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.

INSANITY.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

HERE IS A THING that EVERY American can do: 1. Call your Senator. 2. Say the following: "I am requesting that you place a hold on the nomination of Bill Essayli as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of CA for directing federal agents to assault a U.S. Senator." 3. Call other Senator, repeat

A lot of falls in these 100 meter hurdles heats…

yep! unpaywalled:

Update: We've removed the paywall for all ye who enter.

You GOTTA be kidding me, man…

The growing number of protesters will change the world. A single snowflake... #BettyWhite

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey. Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work. It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

10 years ago today, my old record label imprint Producers I Know put out a well received beat tape by Detroit’s Nolan The Ninja titled “lo-fi l∞ps” with digital distribution by SoulSpazm & physical cassettes distributed by Fat Beats. Here it is: producersiknow.bandcamp.com/album/lo-fi-...

EXACTLY

Remember jean shorts?

and then folks wonder why viewership is down when the league still only promotes one player at a time.

Great talk. I was there! It’s thrilling to see this vital organization in action despite adversity It’s more important now than ever to support The Internet Archive

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

A quote that sticks with me is "senate democrats need to make 2008 Senate republicans look like 2008 senate democrats"

Wanting to stay informed, but not wanting to lose my sanity has me like

And the Democrats who have been elected to govern California need to assert their authority over local law enforcement agencies and order them to use any force necessary to prevent unconstitutional and illegal actions by the Trump Administration in their jurisdiction.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla. Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

HE LITERALLY SAYS “I AM SENATOR ALEX PADILLA.”

NEW: Second apron concerns will likely play a large role in the Celtics' offseason... but NBA sources (one in particular) think that, even with the Tatum questions, they'll still be formidable if they are able to stand pat. bit.ly/43SSs89

If we still have the rule of law, the "officers" who attacked Sen. Padilla and their supervisors who ordered them to do so should be immediately arrested and charged with assault, stripped of their badges/weapons, and banned from conducting any government business whatsoever.

Shut down the Senate. While you still have the members free to do it.
