"Trump, the isolationist president who vowed to avoid foreign wars, has walked slap bang into a trap prepared by Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu – a trap his smarter predecessors avoided. Netanyahu has constantly exaggerated the immediacy of the Iranian nuclear threat."

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

NEWS: In one of the first major federal prosecutions of an LA protester, the DOJ has moved to dismiss the case. Jose Manuel Mojica was accused of assaulting officers, but came forward to Guardian to recount how he was brutally attacked by agents. “I feel a huge relief. The truth always comes out."

Eau Claire, WI No Kings rally exceeds expectations. I am disabled and can’t march, but the line of marchers just never ends!

Alt Headline: “Trump Realizes deporting innocent hard workers in key industries makes no damn sense, but only after destroying thousands of lives and tearing the country apart” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...

How can the Guardian run consistent and immediate corrections on a "Live" page and it's so hard for others not to be just mouthpieces?

NEW: Here's a striking new amicus brief in support of California from 8 "former US Army and Navy secretaries and retired four-star admirals and generals" (inc. Michael Hayden, Thad Allen, Sean O'Keefe). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

AP footage of Senator Alex Padilla being physically removed from Kristi Noem's press conference about the LA @schiff.senate.gov @congresstran.bsky.social Thank you, Senator @padilla.senate.gov

So proud of Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes who refuses to cooperate with ICE or Federal immigration, vows to protect Seattleites’ 1st Amendment rights. “I will probably go to jail” he says, because Trump has threatened to jail politicians who oppose him #NoKings mynorthwest.com/local/seattl...

Double.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Southern Baptists, motivated by their success in overturning Roe V.
Wade, are now looking to overturn same-sex marriage. If you didn't see this coming, you haven't been paying attention.

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

“We served a nation—not a king, a bully, or a dictator.” — U.S. Navy Veteran Rusty Hicks Trump has federalized the Guard, threatened governors, and now wants active-duty Troops in our streets. This isn’t about safety. It’s about control.

I’ve seen a lot of “the left is blowing this race by uniting behind a socialist like Zohran” takes but not enough “the establishment/center is blowing this race by uniting behind a sexual harasser/corrupt weirdo like Cuomo” takes

Hundreds of Israelis and Palestinians marched in silence outside the Israeli Defense Ministry, holding portraits of Palestinian children killed in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Will just leave this clip here of Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings talking about what’s wrong with America from a 1991 interview and it’s still all very true today

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

I’ll say this as many times as I have to. No tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself. Not a one.

The word around town is that the next big thing is Artisanal Imagery, hand-made visuals that you simply have to own if you don't want to be left behind

Musk signed the death warrant for tens of millions of Africans and no one in this morally rotten country cares.

Russell Vought, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to introduce new rules designed to limit the ability of US data brokers to sell Americans’ most sensitive data, credit history, and Social Security numbers.

In what might be the logical endpoint of American Zionism, the Heritage Foundation has declared that pro-Palestinian activism is not just antisemitic, but is in fact a shadowy global conspiracy … led by Jews. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

This is a must-read: The Trump administration's use of anti-semitism to attack immigrants and higher education mirrors plans by a group of Christian nationalists in the Heritage Foundation (which produced Project 2025). 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

Massive anti-genocide protest in London today, hundreds of thousands demand justice and an end to Israel’s ongoing genocide of Gaza. #3E #EndImpunity #freepalestine

THREAD: We recently heard that the Trump administration was leaning on the government of Gambia to help Elon Musk. For weeks, our team made phone calls, wrote letters and knocked on folks’ doors to try to confirm it. But we were stuck. So our reporters got on a plane to Banjul. 1/

Save and share. Maybe email or tag Byron Donalds and Kash Patel.

Breaking News: The Trump administration is planning to send a group of migrants to Libya, in a sharp escalation of its deportation program.

Comedy skit fodder.
