A decade later I still don't understand how the response to stuff like this isn't "What the hell is wrong with you?"

This worker is thinning peach trees in Central CA. It takes skill to do this while balanced on top of a ladder. He's currently making CA min wage. It's hard to support his family on this. He's eager for harvesting to start when he could get piece rate and earn more. #WeFeedYou

BOYLE: It's not just Musk. It's the CBO, conservative-leaning groups like Tax Foundation, CATO, left-leaning groups, and nonpartisan groups. But they're all wrong and you're right? BESSENT: Many do not include the pro-growth measures BOYLE: Tax cuts that mostly go to billionaires such as yourself?

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history. The anti-Robin Hood.

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

submitted 5 days ago • 1693 comments

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

On Day 62 of the tariff pause, the run rate required to hit 90 deals in 90 days is now just a bit over 3 deals per day, which would be [maths it out...] roughly 3 deals per day above the current rate.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Trump wants a confrontation, wants to see the situation erupt. No American president should behave like this. No kings.

Each time a protest is violently shut down, a university is defunded for political reasons, or a person is deported without a fair hearing, the foundation of our democracy cracks just a little bit more. We must all raise our voice in opposition before the damage is irreparable.

Less than 45 minutes after President Donald Trump thanked the National Guard "for a job well done!" Mayor Karen Bass clarified on social media "the National Guard has not been deployed in the City of Los Angeles."

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

The LAPD says there was no violence and they had things under control. The National Guard never even made it to their armories no matter clearing the streets. He’s declared victory and thinks he can dictate masks are illegal. This is a 2:41 AM lunatic post.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

if you want to know what it would have been like in the 1960s during the civil rights movement to have George Wallace as President and Sheriff Bull Connor as key assistant in the White House, then tune in today watching President Trump and Tom Homan.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

President Trump's proclamation hands significant authority to someone who lacks a cool head. Here's Secretary Hegseth's first statement: False statements below and then this: "If violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert."

ACLU: “Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops in response to protests is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power. By taking this action, the Trump administration is… recklessly undermining our foundational democratic principle that the military should not police civilians"

Hell of a sentence from the guy who valorized & pardoned violent criminality against Capitol Police on the job: "The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs."

We never had to worry about the U.S. military being used against our own country when Biden was president. But that’s exactly what’s happened under both Trump administrations.

For those of us who’ve spend the last 6 months discussing how the Trump would use deportations to create chaos is the Blue states and then use that chaos as an excuse to declare a national emergency and seize total power, things are right on schedule.

Hegseth wants to rename the USNS Harvey Milk because it doesn’t fit the “warrior ethos” he’s pushing. He served, was forced out for being gay, and still came back to fight for the country that tried to erase him. THAT is a warrior.

the great thing about this point by @kateshaw.bsky.social is that it’s blatantly obvious to the point Hawley is either intentionally obtuse, dumb, or both; it would be like holding up a chart of every sandwich spokesman & wondering why the criminal charges bar was so much longer for Jared Fogle
