Yesterday Me left Today Me a few slices of pizza. He's not such a bad guy after all. 🤓

In a world full of Stephen Millers, be a Terry Moran.

I would say ABC should be ashamed of themselves but I spent enough to time in TV to know networks have no shame. What they have are shareholders & corporate owners. We have a POTUS who refers to a Governor as ‘Newscum’ and it gets accepted by news orgs but calling out evil isn’t.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Same for scientists, researchers, doctors, etc. Indeed, anyone who works within a value-based profession... what is more trustworthy? People who tell you their values and explain how that leads them to advocate and/or communicate? Or people who pretend to be value-neutral?

If history is any guide, fake emergencies are intended to lead to real crackdowns.

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

I wanted to share this so that people know how dangerous these less lethal munitions are. I left the protest early last night to take my friend and coworker, Nick Stern, to the ER. He is having surgery this morning to remove embedded shrapnel. These protesters came to his rescue when he went down ❤️.

Massive battle between protesters and DHS is happening on the freeway

45 minutes ago in LA. Peaceful is good. Don’t give the N**zis any excuse. Well played Los Angeles. 📢🪧 #CANADA #USA #LA

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

I've covered many "riots" in my 20 years of photographing anti-fascist activism in America...every single 1 of them only turned "violent" when the cops started attacking people. A distinct difference to all of the rightwing protests I've covered. Cops protected RWingers as they commited violence.

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.

😭😂

Goldman: Both of the issues Marjorie Taylor Greene raised—were widely publicized and thoroughly debated in committee and on the House floor. If you’re publicly admitting that you didn’t know what you were voting on and now regret it—you’re not competent or qualified to serve in Congress.

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

i can’t tell if i just have a little cold and i’m being a really melodramatic stupid little baby about it or if i’m gravely ill and it was very brave of me to get out of bed at all. it’s gotta be one of the two, there’s no middle ground here.

See the difference? 👀

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

A fairytale in Tuscany. Fun fact: Taken with my smartphone

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

The ritual worked

Has Joni Ernst canceled her family’s health insurance to hasten their reunion with the lord yet?

The dipshit who owns this vehicle came storming up to me when I took a photo of it, demanding I step away from it in a loud and officious voice that he had obviously been dying to use. I said, “You put this great big flag up because you wanted people to see it, didn’t you?” He was totally stumped.

Pride is a celebration. Pride is also a powerful statement about courage, community, and determination. We honor the trailblazers who came before us, join arms with those leading the fight for equality today, and empower the next generation to live boldly, freely, and with joy.

The Incompetence Is Believable!

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

This is Lola. She is one of the most skilled soccer dribblers we've ever seen, so it makes sense that she's already capturing footage for her documentary. 14/10

DEAN: Did your department have any worry about the president growing his own business while on the job? LUTNICK: My trip to the Middle East was extraordinary. It was amazing. DEAN: I'm sure. I'm asking you, did the question of conflict of interest come up? LUTNICK: No DEAN: It is grotesque

*referring to the most impulsive, short-tempered man in existence* The media wants you to believe this man is impulsive and short-tempered…

bluesky needs to extend its character limit so i can add more Ls to the lolllllll required here

VARNEY: 8,000 manufacturing jobs were lost in May. That's not what you wanted to see. CHAVEZ-DeREMER: Well, we're certainly holding steady. VARNEY: But how could we're losing those jobs? CHAVEZ-DeREMER: Well, we're certainly holding steady.

🏆 I love LA.

We have an official ruling

Mission Accomplished? 🤷🏻‍♂️ #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer
