This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

The road to a ring has never looked less familiar. With superteams long gone, there have never been more paths to title contention. Latest from me, at The Ringer: www.theringer.com/2025/05/30/n...

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

So it seems like Signalgate was just the tip of the iceberg...

All of this is a powerful reminder that Trump is both a fuck up and a lame duck.

Just a thought... On a day that remembers our fallen, this SCUM uses it to belittle & denigrate U.S. Citizens and create a hostile U.S. Obviously a poke, like so many others to try and start something bigger. I wonder what our military personnel think about following a Authoritarian Bully?

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

New pod with my bestie Logan Murdock - Caitlin Clark’s injury, Aliyah Boston’s opportunity, stress testing your hot takes, MVPhee… and… should A’ja Wilson test free agency? open.spotify.com/episode/0DD9...

Elmo has become a carrier of the Trump curse. From now on everything he attempts will result in ignominious failure, followed by the taunts and jeers of millions worldwide. gizmodo.com/watch-live-a...

Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:” “It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” Nailed it! 🔥

Yep. Kamala nailed it.

The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

Ready for the NBA’s Summer of Trades? Let this banger from @jakelfischer.bsky.social set the stage: tinyurl.com/3tsj69pf

BREAKING: The Tate brothers have been charged in the UK with rape, bodily harm, human trafficking, & controlling prostitution for gain. A European arrest warrant was issued for the two last year and Romanian courts have issued an order to extradite the two to the U.K. apnews.com/article/tate...

Trump fumes at a reporter for asking him about Wall Street investors banking on the "TACO trade," which is that "Trump Always Chickens Out" with his tariff threats. "Don’t ever say what you said. That’s a nasty question... To me that’s the nastiest question!"

So Much Access

UK prosecutors say they have received approval to charge the Tate brothers with twenty one charges. This news is breaking. More to follow. www.bbc.com/news/article...

We never went into their religious schools and demanded they teach real history, science or math. But they’re coming into real schools and universities to demand we teach their allegiance to Donald Trump. This is the result of government complacency in the face of rising Christofascism.

CBS reporter Scott Pelley: This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”. If you haven’t already shared this, please do.

Jesus worked in Salinas CAs fields for 14 years. He's skillfully removing lettuce plants so the plants do not grow too close together and they grow large. It takes a lot of experience to know which plants to leave. Walking the fields all day long makes him very tired. #WeFeedYou

Trump’s been lying about prices dropping since he took office. Don’t believe your lying eyes, right?

"I already know you're in hell right now." 😳 Ramona Shelburne writes on Lu Dort's defensive impact for the Thunder and what it's like inside the "Dorture Chamber" 👀

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them. They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather. We cannot allow them to terrorize us. Eyes open. Phones on.

George is a 💯% right. 👍

I hate it when I RSVP for an event and can’t make it. Anyway, here is the link to free tickets for Captain Bone Spur’s military parade… events.america250.org/events/250th...

This is deeply disgusting. Wearing his pathetic campaign hat to the West Point graduation.

The treatment by Trump of South Africa's president was disgusting. In our Oval Office.

Republicans killed the bill to do this very thing during the last administration. Elect Democrats and end the Republican Party.

Slashing Army Corps funding for blue states isn’t about policy-it’s about petty revenge, punishing millions just because they didn’t vote for him. This thin-skinned move is a blatant abuse of power and a continued assault on Americans who don’t fit his political agenda #MomSky

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

The FBI’s Washington Field Office is folding its federal public corruption squad, the same unit which aided Jack Smith’s special counsel investigation into now-President Trump, sources familiar with the matter tell NBC News.

What the fuck is happening?

María sent this vid from where she was thinning peach trees in the Redley CA area: I barely work 8 hrs a day & earn CA min. wage. The hot season'w about to start. I worry about high temps & how we could suffer heat stroke as there are little protections for us. #WeFeedYou

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

people need to bring this up more about reagan

JPMORGAN: “.. The trade war shock is still material. .. we now estimate an effective ex-ante tariff rate of 14.4%. This is akin to a $475bn tax hike on US households and businesses, worth 1.6% of GDP (still sitting close to the largest tax hike in the post WWII period).”

I'm just sitting here doom scrolling and waiting for the Shams tweet. At least misery loves company, because I know thousands of Celtics fans are doing the exact same thing.

Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners? TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country

Trump's Department of Justice serves three purposes: Declare that whatever Trump wants to do is legal. Dispense favors on Trump's political allies. Investigate and punish Trump's political opponents. It is a dangerous three tiered system of justice that is leading our country down a dark road.

Josephina shared this pic from the sweet potatoes in Merced County. Cutting and packing these young seedlings who roots will eventually become sweet potatoes is hard, intensive work. "My wrist and neck get tired from from being bent over all day to cut the plant." #WeFeedYou

Pillar 3: Expand Legal Pathways to Fuel Economic Prosperity The border isn’t just about security, it’s about the economy. We need a system that allows hardworking people to contribute to our communities and grow our economy.
