This is so validating for everyone to the left of the Democratic Party who has consistently said that authentically left positions—including on Palestine—are the way to win. They are the way to defeat Trumpism and Muskism too. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

We don't really have a free or functioning press if they are required to pretend not to know conclusively that Stephen Miller is an avowed white supremacist

So many of our loudest First Amendment enthusiasts have no idea that freedom of assembly is right there in it, on equal footing with freedom of the press or freedom of religion

are you fucking kidding me

Putting yourself on a list for a protest is a bad fucking idea and anyone organizing one should understand that

I’m just glad the elite media spent the better part of a decade telling us that powerless college kids and their trigger warnings were a national threat to our freedoms.

This is getting deranged

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

"Dem governed places are nicer, wealthier and safer than Republican governed places" is a layup Dems are weirdly average to taking.

We are in the middle of an existential battle with an authoritarian regime. Stop calling for “decorum.” Stop blaming the people defending themselves for the violence and abuse. Stop kicking the can down the road and get into the fight. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/authoritar...

this whole idea that protesters have to look like white nationalists marching in bumfuck Ohio towns is patently insane

they never miss

We have been trying to tell Dem leadership they don't have the luxury of talking up kitchen table issues to set themselves up for midterms in a year and a half. The Trump regime will destroy democracy and free elections far before that if Dems don't reorient as a whole toward civic resistance.

If your news channel includes commentators who — citing no sources — talk about other people’s state of mind is if it was knowable fact, then you’re not watching the news. You’re watching fascist propaganda.

LAPD when they think no one’s looking

thinking back to the election whenever someone said they were voting trump because he’ll “fix immigration” and they were asked how immigration has negatively affected them personally, they literally couldn’t name one actual experience. all they could do was recite ghost stories

This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.

You can’t even take back your wife

there's a non-zero chance that Bill is going to be at the barricades and i don't know what this says about the current political establishment

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

This is feeling disturbingly like the discourse around the college protests last spring: media and elected officials painted a picture of chaos and violence (supposedly committed by protestors) that was practically unrecognizable to anyone on the ground.

Surrendering to Trump‘s framing on what’s going on in parts of LA County right now is malpractice. There’s been more violence after Dodgers games and when intersections get taken over for sideshows then what has been going on this weekend. And the Senator knows this.

It's telling that a democratic senator seems to be more inclined to scold his own constituents, who are currently under attack by ICE and local cops, than place any blame whatsoever on the people doing it. None of these people are going to lift a finger to stop any of this shit.

The fight between Musk and Trump is fundamentally all about people losing their healthcare. If you don’t know how to capitalize on that and you keep insisting it’s all a distraction you need to find another line of work.

The most alpha thing of all time: two old men typing on their phones while crying

gentleman, gentleman, please, there's no need for this! you are both in the epstein files.

Me watching two loathsome oligarchs go at it

Has Jake Tapper seen this? The cover-up was worse than we thought. Early 2020 robots were notoriously janky and White House staff just pretended it was fine.

Newsom is doing an incredible job running for president in 1992.

Putting the merits aside, it’s wild how the media treats GOP hatred of the majority of the country as normal. If democratic leaders said “We can all agree Mississippi is a shithole” we would never hear the end of it.

this is like 65% of the way to infowars shit

very cool that for ten years people at the heights of political commentary insisted to the point of rage that the paramount threat to free speech was “censorious” college students
