Here’s a joke circulating in Germany: What borders on stupidity? Mexico and Canada.

Stephen Miller should have to watch Sesame Street on a loop.

After the New York mayoral election, ICE has announced it will raid every polling station during elections for the foreseeable future.

So how long until Noem and Trump send the military to New York to rid it of the “radical socialist”?

Every conspiracy theory is “all the richest and most powerful people are trying to keep something secret and the only people who saw through it are the dumbest people you’ve ever met.”

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

I’m surprised he decided go to war on a second country. You’d think destroying America would be enough.

So… People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it? Oh, my sweet summer children.

So, it turns out we're treating fascism just like we've been treating climate change: – ignore warnings of experts – buy into bullshit "alternative explanations" - read "don't worry" media op-eds – deny it will really be that bad – start seeing major evidence – hope somebody does something

"Wearing their Illinois National Guard uniforms, Axel and Andres Reyes arrived with their mother at the immigration office Tuesday morning. "The men, 19 and 24, watched their mother, who has been in the U.S. for more than 24 years, enter the office..." chicago.suntimes.com/politics/202...

🤨

Fire crews are stretched thin as a result of Trump’s illegal National Guard deployment. He’s pulled personnel from critical firefighting missions just to stage his political theater. @calfire.bsky.social is stepping in to fill the gaps, but this is senseless and dangerous.

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

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

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Trump says mass deportations are urgent—but not if they mess with his donors’ pockets. ICE was told to back off farms & hotels 'cause it was bad for business. But LA and Chicago? Open season. Please be for real—this is the weaponization of government against cities that refuse to bow down to him.

I saw this mentioned yesterday and thought it was a joke. I guess I still retain a bit of naïveté… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

One of my biggest disappointments in American discourse over the past decade has been the mainstream media. With very few exceptions, they have failed the American people miserably.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

To Those in Power, We see you. We see how you treat the people you swore to serve. Power is temporary. One day, you'll be out. You will be remembered, not as you claim to be, but as you truly are. You may control the narrative now, but the truth always survives you. Sincerely, History.

They're kicking off the military parade a half hour early, presumably to get it over with

This is our city of Los Angeles and we brought a few of our friends. #NoKingsDay

Temu Putin

has that dude had his little birthday boy tank man parade yet? it’s hard to tell because the only thing the news is showing right now is how much people around the country hate him

Talked to so many people who were at the first protests of their lives today. Ex-Republicans, introverts, 90-year-olds and 3-year-olds. This was at an intersection in a 60,000 person town. Haven’t felt hope like this in my life.

🎯

They’ve woken up the bear

No kings corona California

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

2,169 events across 20 countries. Millions of peope are standing up tomorrow to say with one voice: No Kings!

As I noted in today’s post, this really was the most egregious thing that happened in LA yesterday and that’s saying an awful lot
