What Fascism Looks Like:

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

"As Waymo's former long-time CEO John Krafcik said about Tesla's effort: 'There are many ways to fake a robotaxi service." This is exactly what Tesla will do because it is in no way ready for this. electrek.co/2025/06/16/t...

As I've gotten older, I seen more and more men my age who are lost when it comes to the basics of life -- especially after divorce. I just saw a reddit post that is the kind of thing we need more of, "Can someone tell me how to clean an oven like I'm 5?" www.reddit.com/r/CleaningTi...

Another sign that the dollar’s dominance is in trouble: US importers are increasingly being asked by their foreign counterparties to settle transactions in currencies other than the US dollar, such as euros, RMB, Mexican pesos, and Canadian dollars.

Someone needs to be FIRED for this summary. The man working security inadvertently shot Ah Loo because a gunman with a rifle was setting up to fire on the crowd. NO ONE can be this stupid to write a summary implying a security person just decided to shoot him.

It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.

The profoundly unrequited love for Israel by American Reform Jews has survived insult after insult. Let's see if this continues www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

This is why I get so angry about cosplay leftists looking for a "glorious revolution." Down the street from me is a police office who is also a fascist. Any revolution in the US will be a fascist revolution because the police and military will go overwhelmingly for the fascists.

Not to mention that Dems ARE decrying violence. It's just that they aren't also supporting Trump's gestapo raids and escalation of tension by sending in the military. I guess they will only not be "annoying" if they fully submit to Dear Leader as Fetterman, Goldberg and Tapper apparently have.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

As long as reporters in the briefing room and in the rope line etc don’t garbage Trump and Leavitt with this question - why did you pardon J6ers if you care about police safety? - they’ll continue to behave shamelessly hypocritically and won’t face any consequences.

BREAKING: Israeli Forces Board Gaza Aid Flotilla and Detain 12 Crew Members Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg was on board the ship.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple European citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

This...is...not...honest. This pic is from five years ago and not even in Los Angeles. Immoral opportunists like James Woods and Ted Cruz trade on lies to promote other lies.

"Morbidly rich" is such a great phrase. I think we need a wealth tax and other measures to reduce inequality for the benefit of these people. Unfortunately, they have a lot of power and like drug addicts don't see that they are actually harming themselves.

The return of Abrego-Garcia to face due process in the US, after Trump officials swore he would never ever return to the US, is a reminder that politics matters and pressure works. Don’t give up. Don’t let the fascists relax.

Blood libel is the classic antisemitic monstrously false claim that Jews use the blood of Christian children, and has been an excuse for pogroms and persecution for more than a thousand years. Cynical, dishonest, and dishonorable people try to redefine it as “criticizing Israel’s policies.”

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...
