When you’re just grabbing brown people

He was detained outside church. “He was in chains at his feet,” Alondra Sotelo-Garcia told a local news outlet about seeing her father arrested. “Shoelaces were taken off, his belt was off, he didn’t have his ring, he didn’t have his watch. Everything was taken from him.”

Start to think Musk buys his parts for SpaceX from Acme …

L.A. Taco has confirmed with the family of 20yr old Adrian Andrew Martinez, who was taken by ICE while working at Walmart in Pico Rivera, is a US citizen who was speaking up for his coworker that was detained. ~ @eltragon.bsky.social

Very phallic!

Manipulative neocons exploited Trump’s jealous hatred of Obama to convince him to rip up the JCPOA, precisely so we’d arrive at the crossroads we’ve reached today. He’s giving them what they used him for, because he’s exactly the mark they thought he was. www.offmessage.net/p/18-thought...

Hooded monsters!

Who are we surrendering to?

Sunday: "The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT... Today: "We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran ... Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT... He's not a hawk. He's not a dove. He's just a moron.

Masked federal agents just illegally arrested New York City’s elected Comptroller. Outrageous. The Trump Administration went after Brad Lander for asking this simple question: “Do you have a warrant?” By asking this question, Brad was standing up for the basic rights of all Americans.

it is genuinely insane that we have just kind of acclimated to the fact that we have masked secret police now

The eye roll speaks volumes 👀

Trump to the G7: 🎶 Hello, I must be going I cannot stay, I came to say, "I must be going" I'm glad I came but just the same I must be going, la-la!🎶

“I find it unconscionable that someone could step up to serve, voluntarily, in our military and be willing to sacrifice their life for our country only to have their families torn apart.” This article first appeared @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social

Providing just the sort of modern-day complication that a neo-Rom-com needs …

Proof that Stephen Miller, the architect of mass deportation, dictates policy and gives orders to Trump …

The President does not have the authority to make this decision. There is no imminent threat to America from Iran. He cannot take this action without congressional authorization. I will not vote to give him that authority, and I likely represent the majority of Congress.

really bad look for Schumer and Jeffries that they spent Saturday at a billionaire’s wedding in the Hamptons rather than linking arms at No Kings marches like real opposition leaders www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!

“Does the US President’s social media post mean people should evacuate Tehran in a serious, bombs-are-imminent sort of way or a silly, he’ll forget about it in the morning sort of way?” is an insane, nightmarish situation to be in

Meanwhile, the TACO-in-chief evacuates the G7...

Trump irresponsibly and maniacally telling 9 million people in Tehran to evacuate immediately apparently only merits one stenographic paragraph in the NYT. They are incapable of summoning any outrage, no matter what he says. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

FIFA Club World Cup ticket sales tank dramatically after the Dept. of Homeland Security bragged that agents would be “suited and booted" at the stadium in a now-deleted social media post

"I've sat on this bench now for 40 years. I've never seen government racial discrimination like this." That's what a Reagan-appointed judge said about Trump cancelling hundreds of NIH grants. We can't stop fighting Trump's assault on science, the NIH, and our values.

This is the sort of “Have you no decency?” cry that led to Joe McCarthy’s downfall, but sadly I don’t think it will have the same impact today. Hope I’m wrong …

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 93 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

😜

Hopefully, the turnout at today’s protests will give some Dem politicians a little more spine, throw some fear into the middle-of-the-road Republicans — and annoy Trump.

When the laxative isn't kicking in...

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

they're having a hard time hiding their boredom

Fox can't even give the "parade" its full attention — it's running images, but cutting away from the official narration and music in favor of its yammering commentators, who are so giddy with excitement they're going to have on-screen orgasms any minute now.

Where is General Hershey Bar when we need him?

Georges Seurat’s head would probably explode at the thought of painting this scene…

Perhaps they can also perform an exorcism on JD Vance …

Yeah, he heard the cries of innocent corporate farm and hotel owners…

Remember, we *had* a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear issue, thanks to the JCPOA that Obama put in place after years of hard work, but then President Spiteful Shithead withdrew the U.S. from the pact in 2018 and everything fell apart. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

If Trump were President, this never would have happened…oh, wait…
