Trump actively working to inspire every activist in the country to take to the streets is pretty amazing.

Kind of glad I happened to be out today (looking for ICE in Chinatown btw, couldn't find them, all is well) when I looked at Instagram and saw the notice about an immigration protest. I went, so I got to be there and call for David Huerta's release, before he was released.

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

One nice thing about Musk being gone, for now, is that we can focus on Stephen Miller, until Trump uses him up, too.

I was just thinking about the time not too long ago when you could buy a MoviePass and just see movies whenever you want. You could go to movies just to get out of the heat. It made no sense. But it was awesome.

The reaction against AI is amazing to me. It's like I don't know people who own horses claiming locomotives use a lot of coal, or are owned by big corporations. Yep that's true. So what.

The government doing nothing about the Chinese hacking into our telecom system and controlling TikTok, even though both those things are illegal, seems odd to me.

It's not fascism you dweebs it's populism. Oh wait, it really is fascism.

I guess the friend I have who actually read the Project 2025 report and who has been talking about Trump invoking martial law should have been taken more seriously.

I'm glad to see the Democrats fighting back. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

Of course, it's "the girls are fighting", not the boys, because, well, it's more of an insult to say girls than boys because girls are weaker and inferior to boys. Do I have that right? Can we stop saying that? And also the thing about them breaking up during Pride month.

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high-agency males going at it and it really shows.

You know that African expression, when elephants fight, the grass suffers? Gaza is starving. Hundreds of thousands, mostly children, have died because of Musk's chainsaw attack on USAID and PEPFAR.

When we Democrats respond to Trump's attacks on our institutions it sounds like we're defending the status quo—everything is fine!—and that's not the message we need. The status quo is not working for a lot of people. We know that. We also see it. We can't be the ones for incremental change.

Every time Trump does something outrageous people say it's because he's trying to distract us from the last outrageous thing he did. So, right now, what's he trying to distract us from? The bill in Congress? Which Musk called an abomination?

As great as it is to see Trump and Musk breaking up, it's important to remember that Musk, in the 129 days he was in government, let loose a chainsaw attack on USAID and PEPFAR, resulting in the deaths, so far, of hundreds of thousands, mostly children. His legacy is blood.

It is amazing to me that apparently intelligent people are, over and over, fooled by Trump. Musk now has poisoned the market for his car company, and will now lose access to lucrative government contracts for his rocket company. After donating hundreds of millions of dollars to Trump.

It's great and worth paying attention when people manage to get someone out of ICE detention. Butt what about the people who just aren't well-known or liked enough? Don't they have civil rights? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/u...

Probably the most annoying thing I do to my cat is clip his claws. The second most annoying is when I walk into a room and he runs ahead of me, then I remember I forgot something and he ends up sitting there in the room by himself like a doofus.

I'm looking forward to Trump's attack on Musk. Wonder what nickname he'll come up with.

I subscribed to Disney for a month to watch Andor and now I'm watching other Start Wars stuff. It strikes me that The Force, almost absent from Andor, drains all interest from the story. It motivates characters to do things that make no sense, but which are necessary for the plot.
