What timeline is this?! Here to be informed and trying not to lose my mind. (I want to be nice, but F*** Trump, Musk, etc., ad nauseum, ad infinitum). I know, I vent and rant too much...I'm angry right now.

This is one of the best - and most terrifying - images from my bird feeder. 😬

This is such police state behavior: Citizen journalists documenting protest quietly observing when a cop goads them: "Enjoying the show." One kid then replies, "Honor you oath, bitch," and cop directs his colleagues to swarm, berate and arrest them. I hope they sue. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPX7...

And this is how the Trump-aligned newspaper in Las Vegas reports this: Two matter-of-fact sentences buried in the middle of a long story with zero hint that there’s anything unusual about what happened. Journalists who report like this aren’t journalists at all.

NEW: A Biden-appointed judge sided with the Trump admin's last-minute argument to *DENY* Mahmoud Khalil's release. Trump admin argued he could be detained for a frivolous charge they gave him *after* his arrest. The judge agreed. Khalil will spend his first Father's Day away from his newborn boy.

Not a drag queen, not a trans women in your daughters bathroom!

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

Doge, the boys, have our social security information as well as almost every federal government agency that exists. Soon the IRS will be added to the list. We are literally living in communist china being tracked 24/7.

I mean, are you mad because this is your job and you don't get enough engagement? Get a different job then. Jesus.

Why are there big influencers on here whining about how bad Bluesky is and how many of us are "doing it wrong" ? Like, what? Really? I read, I react, I like, I post, I re-post, I get news, I get laughs. What the fuck else am I supposed to do here to make me a proper Bluesky user. Fuck off.

Millions in US expected to join ‘No Kings’ protests against Trump www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"How about a millionaire or billionaire who obeys the law and isn’t constantly, voraciously on the hunt for more power and more money? Who would prefer a more equitable society and would pay more taxes to make it so?" It's not just a dream:

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

Please listen to this. This is horrific.

Spotted in Houston today

If we can ever have real elections again, please vote out this freeloading, do-nothing asshat who doesn't know what his job actually is. Working for the people who elected you is NOT "political theater." Look to MAGA for real examples of theater. #jaredgolden www.axios.com/2025/06/12/a...

I am SURE this won't be enough $. Also, why remove a source of tax revenue and also spend tax dollars on this? Where is the savings? Fuxk this. "DHS claimed those who “self-deport” will receive travel assistance as well as $1,000 upon returning to their home country."

These were LEGAL immigrants, mind you, but "only going after criminals" was always a fake talking point anyway. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

This multi-topic, summary newsletter is always a good read, and full of snark. open.substack.com/pub/adampark...

As usual NO ACCOUNTABILITY, "...No service members are expected to be admonished in any way, with multiple Army officials explaining to Military.com that, despite rules very likely being broken, holding troops to account when goaded by the president, who is ultimately the boss, would be impossible."

Because, of course the Trump administration and his MAGAts are... JUST. THIS. GrOSS.

Jim Acosta has some advice for Terry Moran as he makes the move to independent journalism on Substack: “Don’t look back. This is the future.”

Predictably, after Gavin Newsom announces that a judge has ruled the National Guard deployment in LA illegal, we then learn that appeal judges have issued a hold on that order. The fact that Newsom had to seek a legal ruling against the president of his own country is surreal & appalling.

Fact check: TRUE

I would simply stop cooperating with Republicans on anything in the Senate until they hold the Trump regime accountable for these and many other actions.
