You know what’s annoying? Gavin Newsom is standing up and putting himself on the line. And the political press has to frame it as campaigning for president. Maybe he would like to be president, but that’s not really the point right now.

LOOK AT THIS SHIT: Jack Reed asked a simple question: “What is the price of that contract?” Pete Hegseth looked a U.S. Senator in the face and said: “That cannot be revealed.” This is what unchecked military power looks like—open defiance of the people’s purse.

Why accountability matters: “Civilians have impersonated ICE agents while committing robbery (Pennsylvania), kidnappings (Florida, South Carolina), sexual assault (North Carolina) and other forms of public intimidation (Washington state, California). Opinion”

I’ll be there, will you? No kings. No cults. Just the Constitution—and the people who hold the line.

"It was probably not the reception the president was hoping for with his debut at the cultural center he took over and now chairs — half full, half booing, and with a strong contingent of drag queens." www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

I stand with Terry Moran, courage to speak the truth about Nosferatu Miller. Fuck you ABC, complicit with the regime is not a good look

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

ICE agents intentionally started the violence in LA.

My husband shot this cool timelapse of the clouds rolling in over the mountains and the glow hitting the peaks at sunrise yesterday. Too cool not to share :) #timelapse #colorado #alpenglow #maroonbells #sunrise #aspenco

.. for a limited time only, life... limit one.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

👇🏾 This has always been the plan. Hopefully, both parties have learned not to force cultural issues onto others.

The guy that has back doors into every government computer system is feuding with the guy that has the nuclear codes. What could possibly go wrong?

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme... So SCOTUS should pay harshly for allowing this personal security breach, because it is a breach.

🚨BREAKING: Mississippi is asking the Supreme Court to uphold its mail-in ballot grace period. Mississippi is fighting back against a challenge from the RNC to strike down the law. Depending on how SCOTUS rules, it could change how over a dozen states conduct elections. Paige and I discuss.

I don’t think the cult will figure that out.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in Supreme Court history. It's allowed billionaires to completely take over our politics and destroy our democracy. There are days when we are reminded just how pernicious that ruling was. Today is one of those days.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

It's astounding that the US has devolved to this massive distraction. But don't let it distract you. Dominionist Mikey is making sure there won't be a midterm election and that's the central part of the 'Big Ripoff Bill'.

Bernie: "What that is all about is that if you're rich in America, you can make campaign contributions, you are entitled to massive tax breaks because you're superhuman beings. But if you're a poor working stiff, working at McDonald's, struggling to put food on the table, you're entitled to nothing"

Exactly!

The law in this country shouldn't need to wear a mask.

I wonder how someone with so many advantages and so much privilege still manages to feel oppressed, still imagines they are marginalized, still feels perpetually under siege by the world around them—a world that has always favored them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/an-open-le...

Ban congressional stock and crypto trading now. The American people overwhelmingly support it. Time to get it done.

We need to rouse every nonvoter out of their indifference! We must make them understand that Democrats & Republicans are not the same. No matter the disagreement, we are trying to move society forward.
