Also, apropos of nothing in particular, if anyone tries to tell you that the protests in LA are a distraction from the budget bill, kindly remind them that the bill will MASSIVELY expand ICE’s budget, so the two things are very much related.

LAPD out there like

In 2020, Secretary of Defense Esper and Gen. Mark Milley refused Trump's suggestions to "crack their skulls" and shoot protesters in the legs. That helps explain why Trump was so eager this time to appoint officials, such as Hegseth and Caine, that he viewed as more compliant. bit.ly/4jGDpnS

NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Anyone else walk through art exhibitions imagining which pieces they’d take home if they could? This one is a little bulky but worth the effort in my opinion. “Staircase in Capri” 1878, John Singer Sargent. Private collection. Currently shown in “Sargent and Paris” at The Met through Aug 3, 2025.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

Goodnight, BlueSky.💙

A friend sent me this, and honestly, yes.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

The government is returning Abrego Garcia to the US where he will face criminal charges. In other words, due process, including an opportunity to defend himself in court. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

The really critical thing to know about the Trump/Musk throw down is that the “Big Beautiful Bill” would explode the debt, exacerbate economic inequality, and cause cruel and grievous harm to the most vulnerable Americans and we really should be talking about that a whole lot more.

🚨 ‼️ 🚨 ‼️ 🚨

Full transparency, we prefer leaders who actually read the bill before voting on it.

13-yr-old Camarria Williams made a remarkable discovery when she found a compound with potential cancer-fighting properties in goose poop from Garfield Park, Chicago. This surprising find happened while participating in the Chicago Antibiotic Discovery Lab, a STEM program in collaboration with the

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

Raise your hand if you’re not even a meteorologist and you still know there’s a hurricane season.

This one hurts my heart and fills me with rage. Jonathan Joss was murdered last night by some bigoted, dickless piece of shit who couldn't stand to see two men love each other with all their hearts. Today, I stand with everyone in the LGBTQ+ community who mourns the loss of this kind soul.

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

He nailed it!

JFC 🤦‍♀️

A Palantir database on all Americans is a frightening step towards fascism. Musk gets a lot of attention—rightfully so—but Peter Thiel is the techno-fascist billionaire hiding behind the scenes pulling the strings to end democracy. Thiel and his techno-fascist followers are threats to the world.

For the zillionth time, they called this thing PALANTIR and just like it says on the tin it is an evil thing created by an evil being and has driven its possessors insane

Palantir has received more than $113 million in federal funds from Trump, including additional existing contracts with the DHS and the Pentagon. Defense also gave Palantir a $795 mm contract last week. Thanks to Palantir tech, Trump can finally get all that data. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

Palantir’s federal data platform links millions of Americans’ sensitive records across agencies like IRS & Social Security, raising major privacy concerns. Critics warn it enables unprecedented surveillance, fueling legal battles, employee dissent. economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/interna...

Seeing as Emil Bove personally fired me from DOJ in retaliation for prosecuting January 6 rioters, I don’t think he should be confirmed to a lifetime seat as a federal judge. But that’s just me.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

I want the names and countries of those that attended his grift dinner.

We can keep discussing these societal issues year after year, but nothing is likely to change. Instead, it’s up to you to take proactive steps to protect yourself and your family and live with the reassurance that you can protect your life if the threat arises—plain and simple.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

There that's better lol

In U.S. v. Lovett (1946), the Supreme Court held that not even Congress, in a bill signed by POTUS, may cut off all contracts with a named individual or organization: that’d be an unconstitutional bill of attainder. Only courts can decide who deserves to be punished. SoTrump can’t do it with an EO!

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

Honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. 🇺🇸 #SomberMemorialDay

Memorial Day thread, honoring the fallen. May they rest in peace and power. 🕯️ Wishing above all for peace. “When two tigers fight, one is killed and the other is injured.”

"I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom." - Abraham Lincoln

For those who sacrificed all, and the ones who will never forget them.

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.
