No biggie. Just masked ICE agents in full tactical gear with automatic weapons (who typically don't have a judicial warrant) assaulting civilians in Minneapolis while attempting abductions to send residence to third world prisons without due process. You know, standard. For 1938 Germany.

A Stephen (Nazi staffer) Miller Once covered his bald spot with filler Now he's misplaced his wife (Oh sad, lonely life) Who found her a new racist feller?

Apparently the increase-the-debt by $3.8 trillion and make 10-million-people-lose-health-insurance-because-of Medicare-cuts-after-2026 GOP Deathburger budget didn't have enough subsidies for Tesla and SpaceX.

In fairness, under an authoritarian regime, you can sometimes get darkness at noon.

It's Trump's economy now:

Ron DeSantis stranded drivers at a bridge with no warning just to stop rainbow colors from appearing on it.

What are your plans for June 28? We're throwing a global party to celebrate our progress so far and dig in for a long fight. Musk is just as dangerous today as he was before he "quit" DOGE. #teslatakedown is staying in the fight because #MuskMustFall actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

COOL!

Your quiet reminder: There was a "Jews for Hitler" organization in 1930s Germany. (Verband nationaldeutscher Juden) Their members were among the first rounded up and sent to the camps, because Hitler's regime had their addresses.

BREAKING: Area man, clearly high AF in recent oval office video, says it wasn't ketamine. (Also, he separately admitted, a year ago, he was still taking ketamine.) Did whatever drug it was make you lose your memory, Phony Stark?

Love it!!! 🇺🇦

In honor of Pride Month, I refuse to shop at Target. In honor of any given month, I refuse to shop at Target. In honor of every day that ends in "-y", I refuse to shop at Target.

As an indication of the upside-down we are now living in, a Ukrainian friend who lives in Kyiv under the daily threat of aerial bombardment reached out to me today: “Are you doing OK? I’ve been following the news about American universities and it sounds bad.” 🙃

This is what is called leadership with clarity. Nice touch they punked the FSB too!

Some countries still remember that those repeatedly throwing Nazi salutes are the bad guys. #Teslatakedown

We have two more promotions this spring, Dean for 1st kyu and Daniel for 3rd kyu on the next two Sundays. You can see the full list here. @deangloster.bsky.social aikiarts.com/upcoming-doj...

Wrong, Turdicus. Zelinsky want peace. Putin, however, apparently doesn't want to have any more strategic bombers. 🤷‍♂️

Trump: Zelinsky has no cards. The morning news: Actually, Russia has about 40 fewer completely irreplaceable strategic bombers.* *Including an A-50 Mainstay AEW&C aircraft, of which Russia only had 10 remaining.

In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.

Weird. A meticulously planned military operation that wasn't leaked in time to prevent it. Hegseth didn't inform everyone on Signal, so they must have kept the corrupt Trump administration in the dark.

Stop sugarcoating the unhinged actions of that immature, mentally unstable, reckless clown in the Oval Office.

At our booth at the Bay Area Book Fair—Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.

Stephen Miller is now insisting that ICE must arrest enough women and children every day to allow him to maintain an erection.

Someone referred to Karoline Leavitt as Taco Belle, and I just couldn’t resist.🤭

When your entire staff thinks you're too much of a soft TACO to even get briefed about the term.

Senator Joni Ernst

That moment when you realize she's in the Eva Braun wing of the Republican Party: She just like f**king Nazis in power.

Oh, look, this Cybertruck got the aftermarket Roman customization package.

Is this a Taco Tantrum? A reminder that for every one US worker who makes steel, 80 fabricate steel products. The result will be to raise steel prices domestically to the tariffed price. And there will likely be net job losses. Trump will likely have to raise car tariffs.

When someone reminds you that ethnic cleansing is an international war crime.

Congratulations, GOP. You've made our schools a cross between Au Revoir Les Enfants and Fahrenheit 451. 1st Grade student has panic attack over having been caught bringing a Magic Treehouse book from home that wasn't on the DeSantis approved list.

🎵"And I'll be high...as a kite by then." 🎵 --Rocket Man, by Elton John and Bernie Taupin

When Elon axed USAID programs this year, he killed an estimated 300,000 people. 200,000 of them were children. www.forbes.com/sites/sarado... And he slashed other agencies looking into his violations of numerous laws.

When you ask Google images for a picture of "a soft TACO". (Well. They're not wrong.)

Michigan's GOP former Speaker of the House is going to go through some things. (On trial for embezzlement. It's a state prosecution, so even TACO Trump can't pardon it.)

Hegsethtastic.

Breaking: TACO Topo Gigio just found out there are black and brown people with portraits hanging in the National Portrait Gallery. And even (*gasp*) women.

And it's an accelerating trend, under GOP leadership! (RFK Jr's new slogan: "Dirt naps for _all_ the kids!")

Imagine it’s 2016 and someone says, “in 2025 there’s a list of thousands and thousands of nonwhites and political agitators, and the US government sends masked agents in plainclothes to kidnap them, detain them without hearings, and then sometimes they send them to a torture prison in El Salvador.”

Senator Susan Collins: "He'll grow into the role." Nope. And vote Senator Collins out, in November 2026 (if we're still allowed to have elections.)
