Alan Jackson is KILLING IT IN THIS CLOSING. (I’m listening to it now, afterwards.) Karen Read is innocent. He wasn’t hit by a car. Period.

"I trust to luck and do nothing but work, hoping that all will end well." Today has been her birthday.

Breaking: A federal judge ruled Thursday that President Donald Trump unlawfully federalized thousands of National Guard troops to Los Angeles and ordered the administration to return control of the troops to California. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Newsom's press office on the Padilla incident: “DIDN'T IDENTIFY HIMSELF!? It’s the FIRST THING out of his mouth in the video. You’ve detained a mayor. A judge. A union leader. Now a U.S. Senator. You’ve deployed Marines on U.S. soil. If a President did this abroad, we'd have a word for it: DICTATOR.

DHS defended handcuffing Padilla at Noem’s presser, saying Secret Service believed he was an attacker and accusing the senator of “disrespectful political theater.”

Shut down the Senate.

Democrats in Washington should unite in doing whatever is in their power to bring this government to a screeching halt over this.

We should keep our foot on Gavin’s neck about all his bad governing but I will also enjoy him talking to republicans the way all democrat politicians should

*star trek: that thing totally happened, more than once, here’s a bunch of intergalactic characters, settings, storylines about opposition movements that portray a vision for how to avoid the thing from happening in the real world so we can live long and prosper 🖖🏽

Back when I lived in California, I was usually proud of the stance my senators took. Now I’m proud to see neither of my CT senators on this list.

Yesssss

The first step to making a difference is probably to stop being so cynical. (I need to remind myself of this, hence posting it.)

She’s a pos.

I deeply hope Sly Stone and Brian Wilson rest well. They gave us whole worlds. 💚

"There's a very clear distinction between the two."

The second I heard the news about Sly Stone I wanted to read what Wesley Morris would have to write about him, which is always the correct impulse to have. [giftie] www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/a...

Obligatory

I’m watching a Hulu doc (Hey Beautiful) about a romance scammer and I’m so distracted by the fact that this German woman appears to have a foldable smartphone?!

MORE OF THIS PLEASE.

I keep thinking about that. Although in fairness the crisis was America becoming a minority majority country. We aren’t white nationalists so we forget that.

If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities. Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.

The two stories that got this bullshit rolling were both published by Politico 6 days apart. It’s a perfect example of a Beltway pub conjuring up a narrative for ragebait and everyone falling for it.

It’s literally California’s money

The ‘don’t feed the trolls’ ethos has almost completely disappeared from this website and honestly it makes me sad.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

I went back and created an account on the other site to see stuff directly and felt so dirty I immediately deleted my account. Now I need a shower.
