Oh wow this is cool

China’s J-15 jets buzz Japan’s patrol planes, flirting with disaster at 45 meters, while Beijing plays innocent. Hypocrisy so thick, it’s a new Pacific fog. If this ain’t aerial roulette, then the sky’s just a casino for tyrants. #3E

I’ve been working on a flowchart to help people figure out how to fill out their ranked choice ballots, but suddenly it’s a two-man race, so the algorithm just got real simple:

Almost 20 years ago, I wrote this profile of the man who basically founded the contemporary anti-immigration movement. inthesetimes.com/article/keep...

Dow’s Lake is a Community Destination! Come Swim!

He is finally at peace. An unmatched talent.

Trump's regime ravages Miami's soul, deporting dreamers to authoritarian hellholes like Cuba with ruthless abandon. Cuban-Americans watch, betrayed, as ventanita whispers turn to cries. #3E

I recently gave my first major political speech of this campaign season to retire Lauren Boebert. Like, share, follow, pitch in if you can. LET'S GO!!

Trump's White House hiding transcripts echoes a grim pattern, from Martha burning Washington's letters to missing rally records. History demands truth, not curated snippets. Transparency shapes how future generations judge leaders. #3E

Pakistan’s regime unveils a Chinese warbird in combat, a grim debut during May’s cross-border strikes with India. This metal beast signals a darker arms race, mocking peace with every roar. #3E

“My daughter has six friends, last year I went to 235 children’s birthday parties.”

Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social : “Trump is not telling the truth. Local officials can handle this… we have to point out the danger of what he’s doing in LA while also keeping our eye on the ball as he pushes an unpopular bill that will transform our economy and ruin a lot of lives.”

Way to engage young voters, DNC. Not a good look… www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...

🇺🇦🗣️ We are in the midst of the Russian offensive: it has been going on for 18 or 19 days, — Zelensky in an interview with BILD ❗️He said that the Russians wanted to break through, but so far they have not succeeded. We have defeated part of their army.

Supreme Court's ruling lets Trina Martin's family sue over a traumatic FBI wrong-house raid in Atlanta. Justice demands accountability when power invades the innocent. Hold the line for rights, even against giants. #3E

My strong instinct is that Trump's threats against Americans' first amendment right to peaceably assemble is going to massively juice attendance at Saturday's protests. www.nokings.org

Team transitory was right!

There's a real attentional trap that all protest movements face and have faced for a long time. If you pull off protests that are polite and civil, even if large, they will struggle to get coverage. Reporters will dismiss them as not newsworthy.

Mayor Karen Bass reacts to Trump calling Los Angeles a "trash heap" during a speech at Fort Bragg. “I have no idea where he’s talking about,” says Bass.

Today's #WITHpod. @chrislhayes.bsky.social: I am having a hard time tracking the tariff story. My dude, my job is setting list pricing at an electronics distribution company and *I'm* having a hard time tracking the tariff story. open.spotify.com/episode/3nlH...

Real world: - Trump team trying to create a Reichstag moment. - Trump telling military audience that LA is hellhole full of "animals" - Officials in Calif trying both to calm things down, and stand up PUNDIT world: - Is it smart politics? - Is Gavin running? - Doesn't Trump look strong!

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: The overwhelming majority of protesters in Los Angeles have been peaceful. But you would not know that from watching Fox News.

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

WATCH: “It's not normal, says Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Russel Honoré on Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines to the streets of Los Angeles. “As opposed to de-escalating, I think it may have escalated the events.”

Hey look! Some actual good news.

My favorite line here is "applying for those jobs"

This letter comes from the guy who literally raised his fist to the mob outside the capitol on January 6th!

States and communities Trump won in 2024 will be especially hard hit by looming cuts to public media News deserts will be starved Just filed www.cbsnews.com/news/pbs-npr...

NEWS: A group of reporters covering the Supreme Court sent a letter to Chief Justice Roberts last year urging the court to stream live audio of opinion announcements. He never responded - now, the journos are publishing their letter. @courthousenews.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/scotus-strea...

The CIA has released nearly 1,500 pages of previously classified files about the life and death of RFK.

Moscow plays the long game in Ukraine, while Washington pushes for a quick fix. Trump’s peace-in-a-day promise crumbles against Russia’s stonewall strategy to rewind Western gains in Eastern Europe. A chessboard where pawns bleed, and kings don’t rush. #3E

No Taurus missiles for🇺🇦: Q:"Given the intensification of shelling of all Ukrainian cities,Kyiv in particular,over the past week,are you considering supplying Taurus missiles to us?" German Defence Minister Pistorius:"In response to your question about whether we are considering it,my answer is no"

Repost @goffin_king_foundation • In 2006, Brian Wilson invited Carole King to his recording studio for sessions that turned out to on his 2008 album That Old Lucky Sun. Among the B-sides on the deluxe version is their rendition of the Goffin/King classic “I’m Into Something Good.” Continued…

Giorgia Meloni's government admits using Paragon spyware on activists, yet journalists like Francesco Cancellato and Ciro Pellegrino are also targeted. Hypocrisy stinks when press freedom is at stake. Power must protect, not persecute. #3E

Man, oh man. While Prime Minister Carney surrounds himself with all the right people, it’s hard not to cringe at the thought of the Star Wars bar scene creatures a Prime Minister Piffleswipe Poilievre would have appointed. 🤷😳🤷

I joined Nicolle Wallace to discuss Trump's weaponization of the Justice Department to indict political opponents like Rep. LaMonica McIver, the military’s deployment in Los Angeles and the president’s weekend birthday parade. I hope you watch, learn and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnZC...
