NYT Musk’s xAI getting sued in MEMPHIS: “Near predominantly Black neighborhoods, xAI has been operating natural-gas-burning turbines without the proper permits, NAACP alleges.” Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “Shut down the turbines, use clean energy.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/c...

Don’t listen to what Republicans say, watch what they do.

Donald Trump's military parade can be described in one word: sad. Meanwhile, millions turned out across the country for the No Kings Day Protest. The contrast could not be more stark.

MSNBC dug up the clip of former Trump Sec Def Mark Esper saying that Trump asked him in 2020 to shoot protesters -- an order Pete Hegseth wouldn't rule out following if Trump asked him to do it today

You lose healthcare. They gain yachts. Keep spreading the word.

The Trumpists talk a lot about representing “real America.” How much of a bizarre propagandistic lie this is was on full display yesterday - when a vast, heterogeneous coalition of people mobilized in protest while all the regime offered was an embarrassing, lame, sad excuse of a military parade.

Chicago ✊

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Shout out to MSNBC for making the protests the primary in the 2/3 shot all day

What if he threw a $45 million parade and nobody came? Boring. Low energy. Sad!

We the people... have had enough. #nokings #nokingsday #resist #june14 #nokingsday

NOOGA… #NoKingsDay

Downtown Miami now, biggest protest crowd I've seen since 2020 (not including the solidarity protests for Cuba in 2021)

Tucker GA. Cars all honking in support. This is a MUCH larger crowd, and more diverse in every way. Thanks to all who could turn out! #nokings @altnps.bsky.social @meidastouch.com

NEW: Chicago right now. Every time, this city turns up. Thousands refusing to bow down to Trump authoritarianism. 👏👏 #NoKings #50501Movement

Hundreds, maybe more, in Des Plaines, Illinois. The middle of this country fucking hates this guy.

👏👏👏 #nokings #nokingsday #resist #june14

The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.

Two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota shot in their separate homes

He hasn’t posted here in a while but this is @filmthepolicela.bsky.social helping out LAPD with some riot control tonight. Pretty funny.

Ukrainian Defense Forces launch counterattack, pushing Russians out of Sumy YouTube video by Kanal13 www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5E2...

Why doesn’t Trump hire Americans?

Trump wants to look strong. What he doesn’t understand is that true power comes from the people. And today, we’re going to prove it with thousands of peaceful protests: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #nokings

FLASHBACK — ROGAN: “If taking a baby from her mother doesn’t freak you out you’re not part of the team, man. You’re missing it… You’re an as*hole.”

@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."

Fox 9 Minneapolis reports that two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were shot by someone impersonating a police officer. Their conditions are not known. www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

This is disastrous.

Good point here from Stanley: lack of GOP representation occurs in fields beyond humanities and social science. It's not about universities abandoning the GOP, but the GOP divorcing itself from science.

"The painting of a man (George Washington) voluntarily walking away from the leadership of a powerful army rather than becoming a dictator hangs today in the Capitol Rotunda." We are a country of "No Kings". We will resist tyranny! #Resist

A federal judge won't order the Trump admin to release pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil from detention despite finding that the basis for his arrest and initial detention was illegal.

Insane cruelty. And incredibly stupid from a national security standpoint.

2,169 events across 20 countries. Millions of peope are standing up tomorrow to say with one voice: No Kings!

“The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.” Katie Phang and veteran Paul Rieckhoff discuss Trump’s strategy to take over the US military, including co-opting the US Army’s birthday for his own, and how Americans can outsmart Trump.

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

Secretary Noem loves dressing up in costume and pretending like everything is reality TV, but the fact of the matter is Senator Padilla clearly identified himself and should not have been thrown to the ground and detained. Even *Corey Lewandowski* knows that.

Tucker Carlson says in his newsletter that Trump is "complicit" in an "act of war"

The neighborhood is getting ready for tomorrow

The Trump admin just figured out why Voice of America, who they want to eliminate, has served us well for many decades.

Trump on Oct 1, 2024, saying that we are on the brink of WWIII and a “global catastrophe” because Iran just launched missiles at Israel, which never would’ve happened if he was president.

Paying crypto so I mean is that really paying lol
