Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation. It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop. Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

Rounding up people at Home Depot looking for day work and small local restaurants means you're not raiding the factories, meat packing plants, and job sites of big Republican donors.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Fascists want to provoke violence so they can justify crackdowns and get some good footage to distort for state propaganda outlets

This is what's been driving me f'ing crazy about the Democrats. They ceded the immigration debate to the GOP for no reason. Immigration is a net positive to this country and it's not even close. We have a broken immigration system but the problem isn't the immigrants, it's the politicians.

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12

Perhaps Newsom should have spent less time chumming around with authoritarian buffoons on his podcast and more time preparing and strategizing for the entirely predicable thing that is happening in his state right now.

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

Calling it a "Bacon, Cheese and Egg" is psychotic. It's like ordering a "Jelly and Peanut Butter." This is worst thing Andrew Cuomo has ever done. (Remembers all the other stuff he's done) Ok well it's still bad.

A new report from @fwd.us Having a loved one behind bars costs families nearly $350 billion a year. They pay for emails and calls to their loved one. They travel to visit, and send money for the commissary. And they lose income, even long after the prison time ends. www.npr.org/2025/06/03/n...

Mr. Rogers would 100% have a drag queen come read a book and then turn it into the most heart warming message of inclusivity you’ve seen in decades while washing a trans man’s feet and half this country is just living their lives like Fred Rogers ain’t disappointed in them fucking daily.

I prefer when a sports trophy is the same shape as the ball from the sport in which it is awarded. the Wimbledon winner should get some 10x sized silver tennis ball.
