No Kings Day this Saturday. “Americans need to show up.”

Between all the right wing think tanks (funded by billionaires and foreign interests), a sycophant GOP, and a corrupt & mindless SCOTUS, the U.S. finds it gave a criminal conman permission to destroy democracy and the nation. “American Exceptionalism” was but a rallying cry for fascism.

If Trump succeeds in “taking” Calif, he will demand every governor in every state report directly to him. Elbows up California.

Millions are watching Trump and his admin destroying democracy. It’s quite horrific in a county that once lead the world.

From weak democracy to autocracy in. 4 months. WTF?

THIS A UNITED STATES SENATOR ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA BEING PHYSICALLY SHOVED OUT OF A MEETING ABOUT WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING TO THE BIGGEST CITY IN OUR STATE.

This is Trump. Except somebody will be funnelling funds to him for this spectacle.

Join an anti-Trump protest

Know what else was fake. His fricken wall. How much of that money found its way into trump’s wallet? Everything he does ends up as profit for him. And now he controls the treasury. Dumbest voters ever. www.texastribune.org/2020/10/27/b...

“We encourage people of color and ethnic groups to sign up for maximum perception control”

Telling it like it is.

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

This is the insanity Trump is inflicting on LA. Read thru the thread and comments. Personal injury for political gain. Unforgivable.

The insanity epidemic is at critical mass. Unless something changes soon, better start figuring out how to dissolve the U.S.

Craigslist for the bigly parade.

Seems a lifetime ago when the NRA was the worst political organization we had. That was just partisan pre-school.

Pretty sure Carney knows nothing is enough for Trump. Simple difference is Canada is working to improve its economy and Trump doesn’t give a shit about his own. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Way back in 2018 Trump tweeted, “When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win.” Now he’s raising tariffs higher than ever and resolving nothing. Improving trade was never his goal.

Trump’s not worried about lawsuits. They’re not a problem. Doesn’t matter how big or what laws he broke, the DOJ and Supreme Court will work for him. It all costs him nothing - not a penny, not a vote.

Before American democracy lost to the extremists, people gave their trust to corporate owned media. That media set the state for this disaster. It wasn’t just cable news or Limbaugh. It was all the insane reality shows and ads. Constant propaganda with no benefit to Americans. A culture gone bad.

This is upsetting.

JUST IN: Governor Newsom seeks a restraining order against Pete Hegseth and the Department of Defense. The filing says the administration “intend to use unlawfully federalized National Guard troops and Marines to accompany federal immigration enforcement officers on raids throughout Los Angeles.”

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but the Speaker of the House calling for the Governor of California to be tortured seems like it should be a pretty big story.

More than 6000 scientists have signed a declaration condemning "Administration policies that undermine the NIH mission, waste public resources, and harm the health of Americans and people across the globe" www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

Los Angeles is a BIG place. For the idiots who think the whole city is on fire (it is not), please see this handy map from Craig Miller. Look for the red highlighted circle. Any Angeleno not *there* is perfectly safe. This escalation by Trump is for his own political purposes. PERIOD.

Things are so bad that Newsom is making good points.

Wasn’t there once a thing called abuse of power? Where did it go?

- Trade is under attack - DEI is under attack - Healthcare is under attack - Medicaid is under attack - SSI is under attack - Immigrants are under attack - Public education is under attack - Science is under attack - California is under attack - Democracy is under attack

A f’ stupid poser president, intent on destroying his own country, thinks he’s so clever.
