Protestors shown stopping more instances of looting of community businesses. It is also noted that the would be looters across multiple videos in different areas are wearing matching outfits. #3E

The entire board tasked with overseeing the State Department's Fulbright Program has resigned — claiming political interference from the Trump admin.   The Board voted "overwhelmingly" to resign "rather than endorse unprecedented actions … impermissible under the law." substack.com/home/post/p-...

harris yulin was one of my all time favorite character actors. from ghostbusters 2, to scarface, to his legendary turn as aamin martiza/gul darheel in star trek: ds9, he elevated everything he did and always brought his a-game. one of the greats is is gone. deadline.com/2025/06/harr...

This is not a deal. It is replacing a band aid on a massive self inflicted wound. We are back in the bad place Trump unilaterally and recklessly put us in earlier this spring.

NYT even has a euphemism for "sane people".

Is all this making America great?

Guard Soldiers Deployed in Trump's LA Crackdown Aren't Getting Paid Yet www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

A scene from the explosive police-protester clash on Buford Highway this evening CONTENT WARNING: Video begins with officers throwing a man to the ground, causing his head to hit a concrete embankment

While Trump is supposedly “honoring the military” on his birthday this weekend with tanks rolling through through the streets of America’s capital Soviet-style at taxpayer expense, will his speech include partisan remarks, and will ANY cowardly Republican say a word if he does?

Bruce Springsteen speaks on the American moment

Sources said that even at the start of his second term, Trump was discussing with multiple advisers where & when it would make sense to send in federal troops, either for supposed crime control or in response to larger-scale public activism against his agenda. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Important steps towards what may end up being litigation against the immigration courts' decision to turn away members of the public and the press. They are looking for information from anyone who's been turned away (see the second post).

Everyone needs to do this: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Offline, LA residents report normalcy. Trump says there’s mass carnage. This article is good - it describes the alternate realities on divergent platforms. The feeling of not being able to trust your eyes. But it uses the word “misinformation” and that’s not it. www.cnn.com/2025/06/10/m...

Things I learn: I'm not a journalist. BECAUSE I correctly pointed out that LaMonica McIver was charged weeks ago, with the same felonies. Gotcha, honey.

In light of this week’s unprecedented law enforcement escalation, now is a time for all Americans—documented or not—to know their rights. Here is what to do if you are stopped or feel threatened by immigration authorities:

Order is stayed until Friday morning at 9:30am to give the government time to obtain appellate relief from this order; otherwise, Mahmoud Khalil is to be released from detention.

Don’t threaten us with a good time!

More performative BS from Pam Bondi. January 6th is NOT the LA protests. Don’t let her lies stand without pushback.

The sixth round of Iran nuclear talks, which were scheduled to take place on Sunday in Oman between the foreign minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran and U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, are increasingly unlikely, U.S. officials tell WAPO.

Breaking news: Harvey Weinstein has been convicted by a New York jury of one charge of committing a criminal sexual act in his sexual assault retrial, a decision that comes more than a year after his 2020 conviction was overturned.

Another fantastic article from @radiofreetom.bsky.social, and the fine chap made it a gift article.

The U.S. government drifted further into red ink during May, with a burgeoning debt and deficit issue getting worse, the Treasury Department reported Wednesday.

According to their immigration attorney, 5 of the 6 had their paperwork and work permits in order, nowhere close to expired. No criminal records. They got rounded up anyway.

So proud of Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes who refuses to cooperate with ICE or Federal immigration, vows to protect Seattleites’ 1st Amendment rights. “I will probably go to jail” he says, because Trump has threatened to jail politicians who oppose him #NoKings mynorthwest.com/local/seattl...

Wednesday newsletter: I’m not going to gild this lily, lipstick this pig, or polish this turd. What happened yesterday was ominous: a glimpse not only of Trump’s politicization of the military — but also of his attempts to radicalize the troops. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

I think Newsom is succeeding bc: 1) he's a dick 2) he's male 3) his day job is dealing w/unrest (& fires that Trump made harder to fight) 4) he's got staff Compare Newsom's job with Jimmy Gomez--who spent much of Friday at the Federal building (and who organized a presser most lefties ignored)

for anyone who missed it last year — “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had,” Trump said in a private conversation in the White House, according to two people who heard him say this. “People who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders.” gift link 🎁: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

We feed you. They hunt us.

LAPD: THEY PUT FLOWERS AT THE FEET OF THE GUARD! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Oh.

A President of the United States is going to the theater tonight in the midst of what is shaping up to be a civil war I will have no further comment at this time

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

If it sounds like a dictator, gives orders like a dictator and blames his own citizens for pushing back on illegal and immoral orders, he just might be a dictator.

"Crisis is Trump's brand," writes @adamliptak.bsky.social, and the president certainly sees a lot of it out there as he declares one national emergency after another to expand his powers, testing the limits of the law and Constitution. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...

I would love a drone footage of these troops guarding the federal buildings against no one. @dprzygoda.bsky.social know anyone?

The “states’ rights,” “don’t tread on me,” “fight tyranny” crowd is now cheering on authoritarian power grabs—from a guy who can’t even walk up a flight of stairs. If you care about the Constitution, you should care no matter who is in office.

Something the Democratic Party is NOT doing right now, which it MUST DO, Is run ads on EVERY MEDIA PLATFORM KNOWN UNDER SUN, about the unconstitutionality of using troops on domestic soil. STOP ASSUMING people learned the Constitution in school. THEY DID NOT! You cannot

BALDWIN: What assessment did the DoD prior to implementing a trans ban to evaluate the impact that this policy would have on our national security? HEGSETH: Thankfully recruiting is not an issue BALDWIN: What analysis did you do? HEGSETH: We did extensive analysis B: Please provide it to me

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.
