You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

Hey look at that someone read the statute! Just to put a sharper point in it, this means everything that’s going on with the national guard right now in Cali is illegal as well as horrifically unnecessary and harmful

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.

This piece was published while the administration was threatening to send the military into a major American city to crush dissent. The Atlantic is a speak & spell for babies who can’t handle reality at this point.

Not holding my breath but if anything should lead Padilla and Schiff to stop treating their work in the Senate like business as usual, it should be armed soldiers menacing their constituents without provocation.

WOW. Breaking news from ABC that has the potential to cast serious doubts on today’s indictment of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

I think whoever brought these charges should be fired (into the sun).

It’s sort of like the ending of Jurassic Park when the people are about to be eaten by the raptors and then the T Rex comes in and fights the raptors only we don’t have a helicopter and there’s a dinosaur majority on the island.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Just like I knew that Trump II was going to be bad, but not this bad, I knew the Trump-Musk break up would be fun, but not this fun

this is just like the parable of the scorpion and the scorpion

"I was this pedophile's biggest supporter until he was personally mean to me" seems like a bit of an own goal.

if two of history’s all time whiniest babies can’t get along then what hope is there for the rest of us

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

just superbly done. first round KO www.gelliottmorris.com/p/kilmar-abr...

"The reconciliation bill is a political opportunity for Democrats. But the allure of featuring Musk is at best a distraction—at worst, a trap. Sometimes the enemy of your enemy can be a useful friend. But sometimes the enemy of your enemy is just another jackass." www.thebulwark.com/p/dear-democ...

NEW: "Big Balls" is making big bucks. The infamous technologist is now a permanent federal employees (with a GS-15 grade), as are other DOGE operatives like Luke Farritor, who was closely linked to the destruction of USAID. This is by @makenakelly.bsky.social

It really is shocking, though not surprising, that the administration is doing everything we feared they would that they denied they would.

well now

Koh’s comments here are ridiculous. it’s not a deal with a gun to your head when other people have walked away from it! the whole point of the metaphor is that you don’t have a real choice! and the idea that Paul, Weiss could enter into some unconscionable contract of adhesion is just laughable.

Spread the word onemileatatime.com/news/avelo-d...

you racked up the highest kill count of anyone in the world this decade in Q1 2025, my dude

I thought more people would be into my article, but I think it was just fun for folks to believe Musk is leaving. And they didn't want to hear that he's probably lying, as usual. But there you go, Trump has another senior moment where the truth slips out. www.salon.com/2025/05/30/e...

New York is a sanctuary city and Mayor Adams is breaking the law by allowing this to happen on his watch.
