I just want to see Leon testify under oath. He lied repeatedly to Congress, knowing that neither the Repugnican't Congress nor the Pam Bondage DOJ would care. This is different, it's state law and state court.

Somebody needs to remind the soldiers about how the 🍊💩 treats their military brothers, the veterans...

It's true. Looks like at least one Walton has a conscience...

Sure looks like a direct quote from the 🍊💩's #DaddyPutin...

Reporter to Leavitt: "I'm struck that the president has not at any point said 'the most important thing is to protect the 1st Amendment rights of peaceful protesters' ... why is he not out saying, 'all peaceful protesters will be protected?'"

“Democracy is under assault right before our eyes,” Newsom warned. “The moment we’ve feared has arrived. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

While working Americans are holding down two jobs, stretching every dollar and praying their kids don’t get sick, Trump and congressional Republicans are handing out billion-dollar tax breaks to billionaires and gutting Medicaid. That’s not governing — it’s looting. Speak up, Democrats.

Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana, for example, told Jewish Insider that “she obviously needs to change her meds.” Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who has a flare for classic understatements, added that Gabbard’s message was “very strange.” Now you know why the Dems didn't try to keep her...

Looks like the DOJ won't protect us from White nationalist terrorist organizations. Somebody please file an amicus brief... AFT...

One of the most targeted programs is the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, the landmark, bipartisan Bush-era global AIDS relief effort that has saved more than 25 million lives since 2003. DOGE cuts mean a death toll that claims another 103 lives every hour. AFT...

Concerns have been raised over U.S. Customs and Border Protection's announcement that it will be making its presence known at FIFA Club World Cup matches nationwide, stating it will be “suited and booted” for the events, NBC Miami reported Tuesday. FIFA should move all its matches out of the U.S.

In his address, Trump targeted California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), former President Joe Biden and the media, urging military personnel to boo reporters in attendance as he lashed out at what he called "fake news." Soldiers are just a photo op tool for the 🍊💩.

One state at a time... You go, Georgia...

PUBLIC LANDS EMERGENCY! If there ever was a time to call your Senators, this is it. #publiclands #parkchat #protectpubliclands

Double.

June 11, 2025 While the measure cuts almost $800 billion out of Medicaid over the next ten years, only 10% of registered voters believe the federal funding for Medicaid should decrease. That's okay. The 🍊💩 will use the Marines to change your mind for you.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with “non-lethal” rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.

[Peter Thiel] was neither the first nor the last to suggest that our current political system had set a trap that only a few skilled visionaries could free us from.

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.

The rain garden is tall (five feet) this year. The alexanders are past and hidden by the blooming fleabane. The coreopsis comes next, then the bergamot.

The generals must choose a side, too: Democracy or Fascism...

California Attorney General Rob Bonta points out that Donald Trump is making "deliberate and intentional" use of trigger words that suggest he is angling to invoke the Insurrection Act because he desperately wants the power it would give him. The 🍊💩 only wants to grab power and instill terror.

Trump couldn't answer the question and instead began slurring his words and going off on incoherent tangents that made absolutely no sense. Did he forget to take his meds? Or did he overdose on his meds? The 25th Amendment wants to know. AFT...

Madame Defarge is busily knitting away...

$2M price tag, boycotts expected at Trump’s Kennedy Center ‘Les Misérables’ attendance Wouldn't it be great if the entire cast boycotted...

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Well, we regret Leon... AFT for hiring him...

#DerangedDonald reduced to psychobabble: When a reporter asked what Newsom should be arrested for, Trump said, “for being elected” as governor. The 🍊💩 isn't a president but he plays one on TV.

June 10, 2025 We need millions to come and yell "Fuck Trump" so loud that the whole world can hear it.

The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the military from taking part in domestic law enforcement without the authorization of Congress.

Why does everyone who works for the 🍊💩 hate women? Our maternal mortality rates are already about the worst for any developed country, now #BrainWormBobby wants to take away what little medical care they have now. AFT for hiring him...

Doctor(?) Phil, Oz the Quack, and Kristi NoEmpathy are all headed to LA to film their latest blockbuster. They started the violence to enhance their action-thriller. AFT...

EXCLUSIVE: Trump team plans to send thousands of migrants to Guantanamo starting as soon as this week. Read details about the plan, according to documents obtained by POLITICO 👇

We need a couple million protestors in Washington this weekend. Can we count on you? AFT...

There was no problem in Los Angeles. There were people downtown (a tiny area) protesting cruelty. Trump sent troops in to pick a fight. Because he needs a Reichstag fire.

Like I said, LA is a manufactured event. Look up, Narcissistic Personality Disorder. This POTUS is acting erratically and projecting disorder where there is none. Enemy #1 is, the enemy of the people. He deployed 2000 more troops, why, based on what Intel? His need for attention controls him.

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.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.
