trump & MAGA gutted a Biden rule that would've protected your private data. Why? Because letting corporations exploit you is “freedom,” & people protecting us are the real threat🙄. Who needs privacy when you’ve got vibes & vengeance? Enjoy more scam calls & getting your identity stolen.

😡 At what point does “stand your ground” apply to masked warrantless thugs?

Isn’t lying a sin, Pastor Greg?

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.

Put all the old centrist Democrats out to pasture. They have all failed to prevent the rise of fascism in America. It’s over for them.

Clinton, Clyburn, Summers, Palantir, Bloomberg, NYT, Wall St, AIPAC...all tried their best. The entire establishment went full racist and Islamophobic in the end. Still Mamdani won. Biggest F U to the Democratic Establishment and 1% since AOC win. Wow.

Also Today...

If you ever wonder if the fight is worth it, look at tonight. A billionaire-backed candidate—with every advantage, every insider rooting for him—lost to a campaign built on nothing but people power. The Democratic Party wanted to see him fail, but he won. And we will, too.

". . . and 'My Mother the Car' is considered the best written drama in television history."

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

- he posts from his golf cart that taxpayers have spent over $175M for him to waddle around on the green "Y'know.. Black people shouldn't have a holiday" #fucktrump #fdjt

Rubio on CBS: "This wasn't a regime change move." Vance on ABC: "Well, first of all, we don't want to achieve regime change." Vance on NBC: "our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change." Trump, not waiting even 24 hours to undercut and humiliate them:

⚡️ Russia preparing military operations in Europe, Zelensky says, citing intelligence. "We are observing a continued intellectual decline within the Russian leadership and have evidence that they are preparing new military operations on European territory," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

Gas and oil prices are going to skyrocket and so will inflation.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

It’s okay. People only care about the price of eggs.

The United Nations Security Council held an emergency session on Sunday following U.S. military strikes on key Iranian nuclear sites overnight and concern over the rapidly escalating conflict in the region.

🔥 She still has not received her $770 emergency money from the government almost six months later. Her FEMA papers are still being processed. If you can chip in only $10 or $20 or $30, we'll make up the difference that we don't think she'll ever see. Click on the "donate" button below:

Rümeysa Öztürk wrote an op-ed critical of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. She was arrested by ICE and was in detention for six weeks. This white nationalist student wrote a paper that argued the Constitution applies only to white people. He won an award.

not great that I can now adapt a classic Jewish joke, set variously in Tsarist Russia, Nazi Germany, etc ... two Jews, one without papers, are talking on the street when they see the police approaching. the paperless one says to his friend "Quick, run so they chase you!" ...

Your kids are stuck inside all day because Stephen Miller.

As I have argued for months: The person calling the shots in this admin was never Musk or Bannon or Susie Wiles. It's always been Shadow President Stephen Miller. Anything Trump says on e.g. immigration is cheap talk; Miller is the decider. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Sisu, this is a good idea. The people in the neighborhood should form a "Neighborhood ICE Watch" group and follow these thugs back to where they live. Stealthily and carefully, unmask who they are so people know their identity.

LOOK AT THIS SHIT: ICE smashed someone’s windows, yanked them out, and then arrested the United States citizen who filmed it. That’s not “immigration enforcement.” This government is out here punishing witnesses. Fascism is HERE.

😂😂😂🎯🎯

musk is genuinely not very bright and it's never been subtle, which makes the 15+ year tech press effort to mythologize him all the more embarrassing

I will add: ask them to kill the bill with parliamentary tactics. They know exactly how to do it.

Swalwell: I want to congratulate you. The attendance here tonight is bigger than what showed up for Trump’s birthday.

That’s not war that’s #genocide you stupid baby killer zionist donkey

Anything to make a buck.

WHAT IN THE ABSOLUTE FUCK am i READING?

Yes. Stephen Miller literally overrode the Secretary of Agriculture on worksite raids. She convinced Trump to back her, he publicly announced a new policy, and Miller got that entire thing overturned in a matter of days and made Trump publicly back his vision instead.

I have not called Southern California my home in a long, long time, but Bell is north of where I lived in Norwalk, in my cruise-around-on-my-day-off days, and this fills me with intense joy
