The artists responsible for last year's poop statue appear to have struck again. This time with a work called “Dictator Approved,” an 8-foot-tall sculpture showing a gold-painted hand with a thumbs-up quashing the sea foam green crown of the Statute of Liberty on the National Mall.

Pete Hegseth better make sure he gets a pardon Because it sure looks like he violated the Posse Comitatus Act "Whoever..uses..the [military] as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both" 18 US Code § 1385

The 9th circuit GRANTS a temporary administrative stay, keeping the national guard under Trump’s control for now. Hearing set for June 17. AFTER the No Kings rallies.

IRGC channels reporting at least six explosions hitting Tehran over the past hour.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Charles Breyer (brother of retired SCOTUS justice Stephen) hears arguments on whether to grant California's emergency motion to limit Trump's deployment of the National Guard in LA. 🧵

“Alberta's measles surge is so dramatic, the last time case counts were higher, Calgary did not have an NHL team, O Canada was not yet the official national anthem and gasoline would set you back 24 cents a litre.”

Efficient resistance means pushing back against fascism & pressuring it both on the streets as in the court rooms. Scenes from Tucson Arizona where protestors cornered Trump regime ICE troops, sprayed them in self-defence. Protestors kettled ICE & used their own riot control methods. #3E #StopICE

#Exercise improves #cancer survival — and a Canadian study leads the way. Brisk walking can improve survival as much, or more, than many modern cancer drugs. The implications for cancer care are profound, by @gillsharlene.bsky.social vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e... via @vancouversun.bsky.social

To the National Guard & Marines deployed to US cities: Our beef is not with you. It is with your commander in chief. Now is the time for you to decide which side of history you belong: the side of free speech OR the side of oppression. Time is running out. Soon the decision will be made for you.

Important context for coverage of Sen. Padilla's getting manhandled and cuffed today at DHS Sec Noem's press conference: Padilla is ranking member on the Senate subcommittee that oversees immigration.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge issued a sweeping order blocking President Donald Trump’s unprecedented seizure of California’s National Guard, calling the move illegal and a “dangerous precedent. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Supreme Court unanimously revived a lawsuit from a pair of Atlanta residents seeking to hold the federal government accountable after FBI agents mistakenly battered down their front door and held them at gunpoint during a predawn raid of the wrong house.

BREAKING: A judge has ruled the Trump administration must pull back on its use of military troops to deal with protests in Los Angeles.

The Department of Homeland Security has announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents will be deployed at the FIFA Club World Cup, which begins on June 14.

“Today’s civil unrest risks expanding into the sort of violence that kills lots of people and strains civic bonds for decades,” writes Conor Friedersdorf. “Stepping back from the brink is in America’s interest, regardless of where one attributes blame”:

While Trump and Homan are rounding up dads at Home Depot and waitresses with young children, Trump is making deals with drug cartel bosses to let their families move to the USA. www.cbsnews.com/news/sinaloa...

Trump let in cartel families while ICE tore apart hardworking immigrant communities. This was never about fentanyl or crime—it was always about fear and control. That’s why we protest. That’s why we resist.

Update: There are approximately 1,700 National Guard troops on site in the greater Los Angeles area, and another 700 Marines were activated to join them in their mission in L.A., the military says.

NEW LAWSUIT: Here is the California AG's lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's activation of the California National Guard. Complaint, Newsom v. Trump: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

President Trump and his top foreign policy team huddled in Camp David for hours on Sunday to discuss U.S. strategy on the Iran nuclear crisis and the war in Gaza, 2 U.S. officials and another source with knowledge tell Axios.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

NOW: 500 LA solidarity protesters are trying to March from the Texas Capitol to the local ICE processing center three blocks away and are being blocked by Austin PD.

Things are escalating fast on the freeway in Los Angeles. Tear gas canisters are being kicked back and forth

NEW: Lawyers for Abrego Garcia have asked Judge Xinis to consider the CRIME-FRAUD EXCEPTION to the government's privilege assertions in discovery. Plus, NEWLY UNSEALED DOCUMENTS. I don't think contempt is off the table yet. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/newly-unse...

National Guard: GI Rights Hotline 1-877-447-4487 If you follow an unlawful order, you will be prosecuted under the UCMJ.

Pete Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines into Los Angeles. Make no mistake: this is a declaration of war against the United States.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

With aggressive ICE raids, a new travel ban, Trump’s attacks on foreign students, and a trade war with multiple countries, I honestly don’t see how the 2026 World Cup happens in the U.S.

Thinking all is lost? It's NOT. Things are moving VERY fast. Ex: Here's one of the many emails sent to the FL Bar complaining about Bondi's abuse. This letter was written by ME on May 13. Complain✊LOUDLY. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic... @ryanbizzarro.bsky.social @brucecoffman.bsky.social

If you think he's mad now, wait until he finds out the resale price for Teslas.

Here is the full indictment. I also listened to Pam Bondi's press conference. They allege that he was involved in a lot of very serious crimes and reference multiple "co-conspirator" statements (likely jailhouse informants). Notably, however, he's only *charged* with the TN traffic stop incident.

Around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in the Middle District of Tennessee, the chief of the criminal division in that district posted this on LinkedIn: “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned…”
