Footage of Israeli air defense trying to intercept incoming Iranian missiles. Two hits are visible.

The Israeli Air Force has allegedly carried out a missile strike directly targeting the residence of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. This information has not been independently verified.

Democrats in Red states face this shit all the time. Especially non-whites. But Florida is particularly evil. www.cnn.com/2025/06/13/u...

Get real and get over it.

Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., U.S. soldiers are rehearsing for Trump’s wasteful military parade tomorrow, which is being held to celebrate his birthday (and allegedly to mark 250 years of the U.S. Army). All this to soothe the ego of a five-time draft dodger. Embarrassing.

And replaced them with conspiracy nutcases. A group of us are planning a Sept vacation in Vancouver, and hopefully to get our flu and covid boosters.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

To quote Mark Harris, "when it all goes South for these guys and they plead for a return to civility, remember how they acted when they thought it didn't matter."

Ohman nails it again!

“When the Trump administration moved to shut mine safety offices and shutter a program that protects miners from black lung disease, miners demanded it reverse course. It quietly did.”

How does benefit anyone but his gas guzzler buddies??

History says that there was no imminent threat from those weapons, which is why RFK said (and JFK agreed) that striking them would be the Americans basically executing morally indefensible Pearl Harbor on Cuba.

11 states would be eligible: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming. Notably, Montana is exempt. MT Republican Rep. Ryan Zinke was instrumental in sinking another proposal, stating that selling public lands is a line he wouldn't cross.

In a functioning democracy, senators are not arrested for trying to ask a cabinet member a question, nor are the senator’s staff prevented from filming. Yet both happened here. This is as big a red flag you can get about our government being fascist. bsky.app/profile/jaco...

Yikes

Better save a copy of this now

🚨DHS fucking lied they said Padilla “lunged” at Noem. Bullshit. There’s video. He identified himself, stood peacefully, and they tackled a sitting U.S. Senator like he was a threat. This is fascism in broad daylight, and they’re gaslighting the entire country to cover it up‼️

If this is political theater, then Alex Padilla is Judi Dench and Kristi Noem is Corky St. Clair.

Get offended, yes. But do more than that — go on offense. Stop allowing business as usual to proceed in the Senate. Grind the chamber to a halt.

Today in Conversations with a republican "immigrants don't pay taxes" Immigrants pay about $100 billion in taxes annually. "They can't pay taxes they don't have a social security number" They get a social within two weeks of filing USCIS "They don't file" Over 90% file The ignorance is palpable

These people are completely ill equipped to meet the moment and have entirely failed to take a single concrete action to prevent any of the things they’ll try and fundraise on opposing.

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.

And the Democrats who have been elected to govern California need to assert their authority over local law enforcement agencies and order them to use any force necessary to prevent unconstitutional and illegal actions by the Trump Administration in their jurisdiction.

For Trump, violence against the police is just fine so long as it’s committed in his name.

"Constitutional Sheriff" of Brevard County, FL, Wayne Ivey, threatens to kill anti-ICE demonstrators.

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

There has long been zero fucking excuse for Senate Dems to cede the power they have to slow or stop that body’s work from proceeding and now there is less than zero

Rather than apologizing and trying to resolve a problem she helped create, Kristi Noem is now lying about what happened and making it worse. This is unacceptable behavior from a Cabinet official. Noem clearly does not have the credibility or integrity to continue serving.

This is the Republicans’ plan. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

What we all must do right now: 1. Protest peacefully. 2. Register to vote. 3. Protest peacefully. 4. Get others registered to vote. 5. Protest peacefully. 6. Call/email your Democratic representatives & tell them to FIGHT. 7. Protest peacefully. 8. Engage in civil disobedience.

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.

Charlie Sykes on Sen. Padilla incident: "The fact that they are embracing and celebrating this shocking episode tells you the direction that we're heading in... they are trying to desensitise us to these kinds of abuses."

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.
