The Colorado AG said “this attack appears to be a hate crime given the group that was targeted.” He added, “People may have differing views about…the Israeli-Hamas conflict, but violence is never the answer to settling differences.” 100% agree. Shocking:

How many more rivers of Palestinian blood will it take for Western citizens to shame our gvts to sanction Israel? "Israeli tanks & drones open fire on Palestinians gathered at US aid distribution site, killing more than 30 people in Rafah alone." www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Hey DOGE!

Abolish ICE

This man, who has human rights lawyer in his Twitter biog!, is hoping that Israel attacks the flotilla & hurts (kills?) my Zeteo colleague, & legendary activist, Greta Thunberg. To call this tweet disgusting & violent would be an understatement. But they keep telling on themselves:

Read this horrifying testimony from Israel's massacre of people just trying to get food:

“We are watching a systematic starvation of 2 million people. A live-streamed genocide & the world's silence is deadly. That is why we have to keep trying everything we can, even if the odds are against us.” Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg shares moments from the Madleen.

With summer right around the corner, we’ve updated our merch store to include everything from t-shirts to water bottles so you can rock your Zeteo merch all year round!

I can’t think of a presidency that has done more open and undeniable damage to this country, and the wider world, in such a short space of time, than this one. Shocking, despicable:

For four long years I was told not to call what’s coming our way fascism but here we are:

"The outcry from the MAGA faithful underscores just how deep the delusion runs. If someone like Bongino, one of their most trusted champions, can’t pierce through the conspiratorial noise, no one can." Read @passantino.bsky.social's latest in @status.news: www.status.news/p/dan-bongin...

“Was it all bullshit?” Trump asked aides. I love that even Trump, the king of bullshitters, eventually realized that Musk had been bullshitting him on DOGE. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Radical Liberal Judges

Imagine if Joe Biden had said ‘where do these three judges come from?’ and one of them had been appointed by… him.

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Come join me and Tommy Vietor, Brian Tyler Cohen, Van Lathan, and Nithya Raman in LA at the Zeteo live event, part of our ‘Bold and Unfiltered’ tour. We’ll be talking politics onstage & taking questions from the audience. Thurs June 19th in Los Angeles. Tickets: www.eventbrite.com/e/zeteo-live...

⚠️ For those unfamiliar with the term “remigration,” it does not only mean deportation of undocumented immigrants but also the expulsion of non-white people to the country of their racial or ethnic ancestral origin without regard to their citizenship, legal status, or place of birth.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

As it turns out, Mike Johnson is wrong. Who knew.

He was born in Massachusetts and lived for decades in California.

Shot. Chaser. (So many examples like this from the GOP!)

Charlie Kirk called Martin Luther King Jr. “a bad guy” and called anti-segregation legislation a mistake. Trump hosted him at the White House yesterday.

Now that we know the TACO thing bugs the fuck out of Trump, a coherent left media machine would swing into action & make sure that every single left-of-center person on a TV shore or podcast used that term repeatedly for the next several weeks, making it inescapable.

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil alleges that the Trump administration and pro-Israel groups coordinated to target him. His team demands records of the government's communications with doxxing groups, a controversial Columbia alumni chat, and Senators John Fetterman & Ted Cruz.

Beyond parody.

If you want to understand why this country is in the state it’s in, and why we have no real functioning opposition party, consider this: Rubio has been the most dangerous and dictatorial member of the Trump cabinet. And yet every single Senate Democrat voted Yes to confirm him.

In plain sight:

Raise your hand if you didn’t see this coming? lol.

[Staring at a pile of vomit a family of performers have just deposited on the office floor] “So, what’s the name of this act?” “THE MERITOCRATS!”

"The whole Tim Snyder thing, 'Do not obey in advance,' but I've seen a lot of that here [in Hollywood]." Oscar-nominated director Ava DuVernay speaks to me about Trumpian authoritarianism, Hollywood bending the knee to him, Kristi Noem's cosplaying, & much more. Full intv: zeteo.com/p/dont-obey-...

This is what happens when you put internet conspiracy theorists in charge of major government departments.

I know it ain't over, and a lot of damage was done, and little is fixed. But if you had told me ahead of Indivisible's "Musk or Us" town halls in February and March that this would be the headline in May, I would have described this as a wild success.

To be clear: CBS offered to pay 15 million to Trump for editing an interview with his opponent in a way that he didn’t like. The world has gone mad. (Also, shouldn’t Harris now sue Fox for their editing of Trump interviews that she didn’t like??)

Surprise!

"Apologists for Israel might want to reject the charge of genocide [and] suggest its hyperbole or even antisemitic, but the actual experts on genocide know a genocide when they see one - and they see one in Gaza." My receipts on all the experts who say Gaza *is* a genocide. zeteo.com/subscribe

A student said to me at an event today, ‘I’d love to speak out and say stuff but I can’t because I’m on a visa.’ What has happened to America? Trump and Rubio and MAGA have killed free speech and the First Amendment in this country.

I am about to talk media coverage of Trump and Gaza at the City Club of Cleveland. Watch live: Cityclub.org

A reminder that none of this is true about AOC, it’s demonstrably and provably untrue, and it’s being pushed by the kind of C-list (ok, D-list?) celebs who flock to Trump and MAGA:

My take on the cruel and all too usual Republican budget: Ignores reality, endangers everyone, and makes safety-net remedies as complicated as possible—knowing and perhaps even intending that the result will be stunted and wrecked lives. @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/republican...

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

We live in a world where mainstream journalists are apologizing to members of the Trump family. Kill. Me. Now.
