Kennedy appoints the worst to make judgments about what vaccines we should get. They are working hard to maximize death and destruction. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/11/n...

Move left and fight. I don’t know how many times it needs to be said.

So ABC’s official position is that Stephen Miller does not have hate in his heart?

Thou Shalt Not Fire Reporters for Standing Against Fascism.

ABC News suppresses any opposition to the fascist takeover of the country. That makes them complicit. Always remember who aided the scoundrels.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

MURPHY: Do you think it was right to deploy Nat Guard to defend the Capitol on J6? HEGSETH: All I know is it's the right decision to be deploying the NG in LA M: So you do not support the decision to send NG to defend the Capitol. That speaks to the worry many have that there's a double standard

A vital warning for all who fight against fascism (or anything else):

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

RINO traitors.

#OtD 11 Jun 1998 students and teachers occupying a school in Athens, Greece resisted riot police attempting to evict them. The next day protesters began blockading exam sessions and denouncing the timid union officials stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8327...

Is this the weekend where Trump (tries to) proclaim martial law?

Chris Hedges: The Last Days of Gaza x.com/ChrisLynnHed...

"Violence is never the solution"

Hatch Act violations? Apparently, no one cares any more.

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

ICE Invaded Child’s Birthday Party Claiming It Was a Gang Meeting Federal immigration agents bust up a birthday party on grounds that it was a Tren de Aragua gathering. They still have no evidence for their claims. This is state sponsored terrorism.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

<thread> Hegseth expands Guard's orders dramatically today Declaration by California Military Department (CMD) Deputy GC: "CMD was informed ... Guard units would be providing support for counter-immigration operations across Los Angeles, in communities during immigration enforcement operations..."

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

LA has the LAPD. How much worse could ICE, or the National Guard be? They all hate freedom and protest with a passion.

“Authoritarian regimes treat scientific evidence not as a tool calibrated by research, collaboration, and the free exchange of ideas, but as an obstacle to overcome.” UCS’s Melissa Finucane explains how today’s attacks on science echo a dark history, and why they pose a threat to democracy & us all.

What are the odds that someone tries to run out in front of a tank during this weekend? And if so, would Chinese media cover the image?

Profiles in Courage

The Anti-Vaccine coup in progress. We don't know what, if any, vaccines will remain available now that the Secretary of Death and Destruction is in control.

Hypocrisy. Leave it to Leavitt.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced today that the Department of Justice is investigating Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia for his alleged involvement in the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby and the unexplained. disappearance of Amelia Earhart.

Newsom: This is a national order. We’re talking about you and your state, your own backyard, all depending on the whim of a president who’s unhinged. Depending on how he’s feeling on a particular day, or who’s offended him because he didn’t like what they said on a Fox News clip.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social

The contrast and absurdity is so brazen. They're literally raiding Home Depots to find whatever guys are there to get work as day laborers. People eager for work. And the ICE agents has zero idea who they are or any criminal background.

Other criminals copy ICE criminals.

I like this Gavin more than podcast Gavin.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

MAGA is addicted to lying. Authoritarians hate the truth.

More murders by Israel at supposed Gaza aid distribution sites. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

US renounces "two state solution" fig leaf and openly supports a Greater Apartheid Israel, including the West Bank. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

These cops are protecting order, they are promoting disorder.
