I am not okay. But I'm not on Twitter, either. So I've got that going for me, which is great.

Far from the first one to say this. But agrobusiness regions, even in blue states, are generally in red areas. They're heavily dependent on undoc'd labor. Take the dairy industry in Kristi Noem's home state or in CA. we're not seeing any of these raids there. not zero. but they're getting a pass.

Me as I walk down the steps from my office to get a second blood pressure pill because it feels like my skull is a pressure vessel: "You knew this was coming, that worse is coming and that things will have to get a lot worse than this before anything gets better. Stay calm and carry on."

"An incompetent warning shot or the act of a coward, either way it needs to be properly investigated... how is it okay for your police force to be firing at unarmed Australian journalists?" Karl Stefanovic, an anchor for the Australian broadcast channel that @laurentomasi.bsky.social works for.

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

“This could poll well with midterm swing voters in Ohio” I remark sagely as I watch a fourth grader get bundled into an unmarked van at recess by armed and masked agents of the state.

FUN FACT: When fascism came to America all of the 2nd Am. ammosexuals stood all the way the fuck down. Not a peep out of the “don’t tread on” me crew. Not a word. It was the uber liberally hippy avocado toast betas of California who stared down the GESTAPO and said “not the fuck on my watch!”

the proper way to fight fascism isn't protesting, you have to write soft op-eds in the atlantic and scold people for being angry on MSNBC

Whether it's Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference or Trump using the military to attack American citizens, both presidents crossed some dangerous red lines for democracy.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

my main takeaway after spending the afternoon at the national history day competition is that the kids are pretty alright. also, that reactionaries are right to fear the consequences of kids learning the truth.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Maybe if the media hadn't forgotten that constitutional rights aren't a fucking cafeteria plan and given the same five-alarm coverage to the GOP's assault on the rest of our rights it gave to even the most minor impingement on their presumed privileges, this wouldn't be happening to them.

Our Founding Fathers would have had a word for calling up a battalion of Marines for regular domestic law enforcement: tyranny.

As the USA descends into chaos, we are witnessing what happens when a populist government is in power. When the BBC’s constant promotion of Reform leads us down a similar path, they will no doubt bang on about hindsight. #r4today

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

I’m afraid it’s up with the Constitution game; thanks to the Supreme Court I no longer know what it means. No instead of arguing from 1787 principles, we need to argue from 1776 principles: the revolution was fought because of the supposed tyranny of a king who was milquetoast compared to this joker

I am really pissed off about the ABC gratuitously throwing the word “riots” around. “Los Angeles is experiencing its second day of significant riots, with the National Guard being called in on Saturday night, local time” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...
