Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

ICE crossed a line in LA

submitted 23 hours ago • 766 comments

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

It's possible that future historians will mark the Federal government's use of California National Guard troops against American citizens in Los Angeles as a precurser of the Second American Civil War

A #painting for yeh. "Wishing Arch" came from one of my cycles along the extraordinary Antrim coast. I was very slow because I kept stopping to look at rock formations and to see if my outstretched arm could touch Scotland. I stared for so long I got stuck in the dark. Worth it. #Speirgorm #ArtYear

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Have a #painting "The Lodge" was my grandparents' home, the lodge house of the Phoenix Park Racecourse in Dublin, which I painted in another lifetime in 4 very long days of love. My mother took it off me and framed it for Dad and her. Which is why it hangs opposite me right now. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

Anyway, back to sharing a #painting with you. I'd cycled to this corner of west cork previously, but "Galley Head Rocks" came from when I spent a day there with friends, clambering over the rocks and silently letting the wind and the waves do to us what only wind and waves can. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

So. Steel production is relatively small slice of the American economy. Steel itself? *Very widely used throughout the American economy. See the problem? (I mean, see the problem beyond the entire global economy being held hostage to the whims of one guy who doesn’t understand the economy?)

I’ll say this as many times as I have to. No tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself. Not a one.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

Have yourself a #painting. "Rossport" came out of a time in a beautiful corner of northwest County Mayo where I was cycling along the tidal estuary of Sruwaddacon (Sruth Fada Con). I took a long time because I was also dreaming, and healing, and other things people do in beauty. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

When he showed up to an immigration meeting in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen. Then ICE arrested the Mississippi father of four, not even giving him a chance to say goodbye to his wife, whisking him away to a prison. @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

She's a "teenager" now. Nearly as tall as her parents and foraging for herself, but still under their watchful eyes. She has nearly all of her mature feathers and flaps her wings to test them out, but I've not seen her fly yet. She will remain with them for nearly a year

Just to document another way that tariffs hurt Americans. Mrs. McCullough's company will likely not be paying out merit bonuses this year, a substantial part of her income, because of the unbudgeted expenses incurred due to tariffs. Her company does a large part of their purchasing abroad.
