The Four Assholes of the Apocalypse

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

This is sick! Have you seen ICE’s TikTok page? Propaganda on steroids, targeting young dudes chasing a sense of power. Edited like war games, built to thrill while dehumanizing immigrants. RECRUITMENT VIDEOS—for state-sponsored vigilantism.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

BREAKING: Federal appeals court blocks a Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in all public school classrooms.

NEW: Trump calls for a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election. The same guy who spent over a year arguing in court that special prosecutors were unconstitutional. apnews.com/article/trum...

Masked men who didn’t identify themselves, pulled up in an unmarked car and pulled a landscaper out of his vehicle as he was leaving his job. They threw him into their unmarked vehicle! His boss is threatened with bodily harm by the armed men who will not identify themselves!

So “pro-life.”

🚨 STAGFLATION WARNING: The Fed now predicts a brutal mix for 2025: — Inflation UP to 3% — Growth DOWN to 1.4% — Unemployment UP to 4.5% They’re holding rates steady for now—but still expect 2 cuts this year.

The new “All-American” smartphone being sold by Trump’s family is reportedly manufactured in China. The just-launched Trump Mobile is selling a gold iPhone lookalike for $499, despite the device’s base model—albeit without the gilded trim or Trump branding—being available on Amazon for just $169.

Shorter Alito's concurrence: "The majority said the law doesn't discriminate against transgender status. I disagree. I think it does discriminate against transgender status and that's good." He's just completely given up on the game and is happy to tell everyone what the majority really believes.

“.. Initial Claims 4-week Average... up to 245.5k.. highest since August 2023.” @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.

New York city comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was just arrested by masked ICE thugs at 26 Federal plaza for asking to see a warrant when they were detaining an immigrant appearing at their court hearing.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Doctors, psychologists, dentists, and other occupations at VA hospitals nationwide can now refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new guidelines imposed after an executive order by Trump. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A traffic stop is causing outrage, after a young man born and raised on Long Island was pulled over and searched by ICE agents. He said it was simply because he’s Latino. When ICE found out he’s a U.S. citizen, they let him go—without giving an explanation or apology—but the damage was already done.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Here at the #NoKings rally in Nanuet, NY with @indivisrockland.bsky.social. Turn-out is INSANE and the energy is off the charts. THOUSANDS of people, with more streaming in every minute (video below is only a *fraction* of who is here). An inspiring display of democracy!

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

This is a shocking development. Two leading Democratic lawmakers and their spouses in Minnesota were shot in their homes early this morning by a man possibly impersonating a police officer. This is the kind of violence we have been warning about. www.fox9.com/news/brookly...

June 14 is President Barack Obama Appreciation Day. Here’s one of my favourite clips to celebrate! 💕 #ObamaAppreciationDay #NoKingsDay #NoKingsProtest

Happy Obama Appreciation Day.

Hit the streets tomorrow. Be nonviolent. Be joyfully defiant. Be defiantly joyful. Ridicule him. Condemn fascism. Oppose I.C.E. Affirm diversity. Embody America. Love your neighbor. Refuse to be intimidated. Be safe. Be loud. Be encouraged. #NoKingsDay

These agitators have been organized by Trump to turn peaceful No Kings protests into deadly riots so he a score political points. It's disgusting. It's anti-American. And it's impeachable. Proud Boys and Other Far-Right Groups Buzz With Violent Talk on How to Respond to ‘No Kings’ Protest - WSJ

Nights of BLUE SKIES (sound up) DAY 13 JUN 2025 HAPPENING NOW OUR UNITED STATES VETERANS THERE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS Protesting Trump's military shakedown of our Country They wanted to sit on the Capitol Steps That's all Now being arrested by Capitol Police NO KINGS WE MARCH

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

The first known detention by the US Marines in their recent Los Angeles deployment is of... a US Army veteran on his way to an office at the Department of Veteran Affairs building. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Here 👇🏼 we go... let's see 👀 what's happening. 🤬

Oil prices jump 7% and the Dow falls 1.8% on worries about the flow of crude after Israel's attack on Iran.

Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

I told you we’d be back

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Double.

There are THOUSANDS of protests planned for June 14th all over the country to send a message to Donald Trump that no one wants his birthday military parade in DC that will cost taxpayers millions. #NoKingsProtest You can find a location here: www.nokings.org#map

This is my friend's video from Santa Ana, CA in OC. The Santa Ana PD had this situation totally under control. It was peaceful. Then ICE came in to provoke & attack. ICE is a terrorist secret police Gestapo-style band of thugs, posers, mercenaries & miscreants Speak up Call Congress: 202-224-3121

a woman just trying to get home gets shot

My strong instinct is that Trump's threats against Americans' first amendment right to peaceably assemble is going to massively juice attendance at Saturday's protests. www.nokings.org

Land of the free.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

“Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has taken the extraordinary step of firing the expert panel that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, saying the action is needed to restore faith in vaccines.” www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...

The LAPD whenever they think no one can see

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.
