share.google?link=https:/... From LA Fox affiliate. Trump’s Goons beat up a U.S. citizen, arrest him and lie that he punched them first. A security camera caught the whole thing.

To me, Juneteenth is about discovering the truth about our history. Scholars like Dr. DjeDje are doing tireless work uncovering the myriad stories that animate our unique culture here on Turtle Island, and that is how I like to celebrate - by educating myself.

Notice how George W. Bush, a man who went AWOL, and Donald Trump, a man who dodged the draft five times, are so eager to send *your* children to die in wholly unnecessary wars?

When you realize that what you were taught in school was selected so it wouldn't inconvenience you.

Events of the past week reminded me of this one: Saddam Hussein's on-camera purge of members of parliament. Let's not go there. youtu.be/kLUktJbp2Ug?...

I’d vote for this guy. Brad Lander Is Arrested by ICE Agents at Immigration Courthouse www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/n...

The attorney general and the Proud Boys have the same initials. Coincidence? HAWK TUAH, Pammy.

Yes, and the estimated cost of doing it fairly was lots less than this pogrom.

It's all upside down.

Required reading. Know what horrors are coming. Thank you, Timothy Snyder.

The man on the left is defending his nation's capital. The man on the right plotted an attack on his.

Such a deal! Mom pays $1 million to Trump. Trump pardons son. Son no longer owes $4.4 in restitution for $10 million of stolen payroll tax. Son can pay back mom and keep the $2 million yacht. MAGA!! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Exactly wrong. Has the Reality TV regime morphed into the Costanza (Do the opposite) regime? www.msn.com/en-us/video/...

The administration wants $140 billion added to immigration enforcement. Last year, Trump, in a tweet, killed a $118 billion immigration reform bill that among other things would have paid for due process and paths to citizenship. This isn't about public safety or saving money. Thoughts?

Building and fire inspections are a necessary precursor to “national security.”

C’mon people

A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and …

If you’re okay with bribery, say so.

To all the MAGA people gloating about arresting a judge by saying “no one is above the law:” Girl, you elected a multi-felon who skated all consequences who appointed an Attorney General who took a bribe without any consequences. Please sit down. And stay there.

The guys in the White House talk all day about how soft the Europeans are. But when there is an actual war in the actual world, the Trump people immediately submit to what they think is the stronger side and complain that everyone else doesn’t do the same.

Having lost any adequate expertise on Russia, Washington seems to be completely devoid of understanding of Ukrainian realities. Occupied Crimea is not Alsace, which we can talk about later. It is basements, torture, electric shock, rape with rubber truncheons. Like everywhere in the occupation. 1/2

I do have “criticism is treason” on my bingo card.

WtF!? `On April 17… Secretary… Burgum… assigned… control over the Department of the Interior… “(which in normal times would require Senate confirmation) [to] DOGE operative Tyler Hassen, the CEO of a Houston-based energy company” … “Elon Musk is now effectively in charge of America’s public lands.”'

This, as the Department of Education, now on life support, will use its remaining power and staff to begin collecting on student loans paused since the pandemic.

How the Regime is doing in the courts.

Justification for this? Of course not.

Yeah, Russia is terrified youtu.be/VCX9hMw55pE

This is the budget resolution that Republicans have voted for. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.
