Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

I’ve spoke quite a bit over the past several days about proper firearm usage and how these “cops” have no clue how to properly handle and control a firearm. But here it is from a former OEF United States Marine, whose dad just happens to be the victim of ICE.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

The United States Supreme Court: Come for the corruption, stay for the human trafficking.

"Most of today’s superrich owe their wealth to their ownership stakes in companies that are de facto monopolies thanks to network effects," writes @pkrugman.bsky.social. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/inequality...

A director of an immigrant rights group said that his organization had received around 4,000 calls regarding disappearances since June 6th. “Some we just don’t know where they’re at,” he said. “We keep getting reports that folks are missing.”

This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Funny, that.

A feel-good story amidst the suck. He's always seemed like a good'un. Supporting handmade is A+! Jason outfitted himself and co-star Jack Black in matching colorful crocheted cardigans, which he was quick to point out were made by Treat Yo Self Crochet. www.countryliving.com/life/enterta...

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

So dumb and bad with money.

The Dodgers announce they are donating $1 million toward direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region, with more announcements to come.

New Yorkers have every reason to tell this guy to kick rocks anyway, but if he got bought for 25K they need to do it just on principle. Crazy Eddie behavior

Not unlike the percentage of Americans that support Trump. Guess we really aren’t exceptional. Just another another authoritarian country

it is funny how many people affiliated with the secret police have had to say "stop making fun of the secret police, the guy in the tac vest that covers him like a training bra is a hero, he tracked down and subdued two hospice orderlies using only the W-2 forms they file annually"

Jealous of swans.

One of the many horrifying Senate authoritarian fun add ins to the ‘we will kill all of you bill’.

Find your joy…

The people who think this bill will help their family are either very very rich, or very very stupid.

Instead of high-profile battles waged in key states, we’ve seen a handful of mostly smaller red states — many of which already weren’t making things easy for voters — pass laws imposing new restrictions, and largely escaping serious media scrutiny. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/red...

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

In Pasadena, protesters ran ICE out of a hotel. The hotel insisted ICE leave. Protesters slashed tires of many of the vehicles and local tow companies refused to assist. /

We’re #1!!!

Oops, all slaves

CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

Do the right thing: rank me #1, Zohran #2, and DON'T RANK ANDREW CUOMO.

Please god yes let’s do this

Make America… a collapsed economy

“‘Word got out that there were Homeland Security vehicles parked at the hotel. … People wanted to express their 1st Amendment rights and they did so in a lawful, nonviolent and respectful manner.’” apple.news/AjfQZ8rVTTxW...

NPR has heard from more than 50 veterans around the country who are upset about the VA cutting a program that was helping vets avoid foreclosure. Veterans now have worse options than most Americans. www.npr.org/2025/06/19/n...

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The billionaire Palantir CEO —the company building a database to track Americans, and helping ICE abduct immigrants, who proudly admits that his company kills people… … is a Big Money Andrew Cuomo donor. You won’t be an opposition leader when you’re owned by the opposition.

Fed's mortgage bombshell: crickets chirp. #econsky

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

This is disgusting and the unnecessary destruction of huge beautiful areas. One I’m camping in in 2 weeks.

We can't stop trying out the #TarPits Tar Pull 😮‍💨 Witness what it's like to be trapped in Tar—maybe you'll be able to escape! 👀

Republicans could have passed a clean extension of middle-class tax cuts without ripping health coverage from 17 million people or adding trillions to the deficit. But that wouldn’t have let them jam in backroom tax breaks like the $1 billion Golub carve-out for their rich donors.

“The true solution, perhaps, is more solidarity and more sincerity.”
