when no one attends your shitty dictator parade

AOC: "They have released chaos in LA by violently raiding & ripping apart peaceful public spaces, and now they are tackling & arresting US sitting members of Congress, while going on the record & lying about what happened.

As I noted in today’s post, this really was the most egregious thing that happened in LA yesterday and that’s saying an awful lot

I just emerged from the deep state woke Marxist meeting to control the weather for tomorrow’s small dictator parade. I can report things are on track and we are ready for space laser deployment. More soon.

A very important story. Pam Hemphill, who is a hero, was disinvited from a rally because the organizers would not “forgive” her. This is how oppositions fail reedgalen.substack.com/p/dear-rally...

Hit the streets tomorrow. Be nonviolent. Be joyfully defiant. Be defiantly joyful. Ridicule him. Condemn fascism. Oppose I.C.E. Affirm diversity. Embody America. Love your neighbor. Refuse to be intimidated. Be safe. Be loud. Be encouraged. #NoKingsDay

Let me get this straight: They hate Iran because it’s a theocracy. Meanwhile, the GOP’s dream is to turn the U.S. into one. Is this foreign policy or just theocratic success envy?

If you’re reading this, push your tongue to the roof of your mouth to unclench your jaw… This is going to be a long fight.

I recently learned about cello pants.

"[Troops] have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they do not want to join." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

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

...and another!

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Very stable genius.

People in L.A. are waving Mexican flags—not because they hate America, but because the Trump regime is disrespecting immigrants. The Mexican flag has become a symbol of resistance and solidarity in these times. Make no mistake: they love what this country stands for—just not what it’s turning into.

The lack of total outrage at the indictment of Congresswoman McIvey is truly frightening. Hakeem Jeffries ought to be causing high holy hell over this. She is indicted because she is Black. Half of the GOP caucus engaged in sedition and Garland felt arresting a member of congress went too far.

Active duty military to the streets of an American city A military parade to celebrate the President’s birthday An emerging police state with secret police who cover their faces & disappear U.S. residents *Our democracy is in a red zone. We must mobilize to stop this.

i am not being pollyannish when i insist that the people who sign up do not sign up to advance a president’s domestic political agenda www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I just heard the phrase “news-like information,” and hoo boy is that a perfect phrase to describe what passes for news on television right now.

My read on this trend is that it reflects the “We’re living in a hell-hole, world-wide, dystopian nightmare, nothing matters and we’re all going to die soon, so who gives a fuck” prevailing attitude. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/m...

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out after our last post. We’ve received even more footage of police and ICE brutality. Tonight, the LAPD opened a formal investigation.

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

Idiocracy was a documentary.

Find your closest rally on Saturday and go. You can tell your kids where you were on the other side of this. Outnumber him everywhere. www.nokings.org#map

Dear Lord, As you know, these are tough times, so, if you wouldn’t mind, please don’t take any additional octogenarian music legends for now. We need them here a while longer. Thanks in advance. Doug

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

A terrifying escalation:

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

Well this is awkward

World Cup and Olympics cannot be held in the US.

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Cops-- pathetic. Fuck off. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/youre-a-bu...

ICE was "responding" to the chaos ICE itself created. It was not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE. And now the National Guard is "responding" to the chaos ICE created. It is not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE.

Which GOP Senator wants to be remembered as a hero after a lifetime of crimes and sees an opportunity in defending the constitution - you’ll get a miniseries at minimum, possibly a feature film with an attractive lead actor dressed in whatever unbecoming clothes you currently favor

I know I dont have to say this but I will. STAY FAR AWAY from the PARADE on Saturday. There will BE TONS of places to protest and the PARADE is NOT one of them. Base on his words this afternoon he is DARING us to show up so he can use force, DONT FALL FOR THE BAIT

Oh.

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

Report: Voting Machines Were Altered Before the 2024 Election. Did Kamala Harris Actually Win?

"ThEyRe FlYiNg MeXiCaN FlAgS In ThE StREeTs" Give me a break Police were beat with American flags on January 6th Ohh not to mention the confederate flag being waved in the rotunda
