FIFA Club World Cup ticket sales tank dramatically after the Dept. of Homeland Security bragged that agents would be “suited and booted" at the stadium in a now-deleted social media post

Culty Kirk croaks.

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!

Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:

Remember: this is only happening because of Trump. He is the arsonist. He is to blame.

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

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.

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

Trump is trying to manufacture a crisis in LA County — deploying troops not for order, but to create chaos. Don’t take the bait. Never use violence or harm law enforcement.

"They had Mexican flags!!! People should only be allowed to to have the Stars and Stripes, not flags of a countries we were once at war with!!! They should be arrested for this!!!"

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

This draft dodger, who liked to pretend he was in the military by wearing this cute little costume in high school, is planning to use our real military domestically against US citizens. This violates the Posse Comitatus Act enacted in 1878 to stop our military being used as a domestic police force.

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.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Keep the pressure on the very few republicans who know none of this is okay

Oh, honey . . . You can’t even get your wife back.

Warning: ICE is planning 30 days of immigration raids across Los Angeles County. If you or someone you know may be impacted, now is the time to set up a support system, identify a safe place, and stay alert.

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

It is difficult to overstate how much I loathe such selfish dumbasses:

“Anyone”

This is big! Yayyyyyy.

Musk and Trump are a great example of why men are too emotional to lead.

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

Hey, this is me! I'm reading two of my poems from Disheveled Histories (Wet Cement Press). Not the best reading, but hey, I tried. Thanks, @johnmadera.bsky.social and @bigothermag.bsky.social.❤️

I heard there are going to be nationwide 'No Kings' protests on Trump's birthday, so that's fun. Remember, one 10,000 person march is ineffective. Ten 1,000 person marches spread out all over the city is the way to go.

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded: “Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

The Felon and Chief #McDope Who ever made this is genius. Let's share this all over bluesky.

No wonder the Senate is hesitating. Martin has fraternized with neo-Nazis, has no experience as a prosecutor, has failed to make required disclosures to the Senate & on & on. He is not fit. Don't just take my word for it, a leading conservative org has condemned him punchbowl.news/article/sena...

Granddaughter of a Navy vet. Daughter of a Navy vet. Mother of an Army soldier. Not one damn dime should be spent on a military parade for a draft dodger…

Donald Trump is not well. Not physically. Not mentally. And it’s time for the media to start talking about it.

Mass deportations are very bad for the soul of our nation, but they could also be catastrophic for our economy & national security. Think about it. 1/2 of all fruit & nuts & 80% of US wine is from California & 76% of CA's farmworkers are undocumented & 50% across the US. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP86MtAg1/

Not all heroes wear capes.

It’s time to stop pretending Pee Wee German isn’t the acting President.
