Punk af.

Just more HYPOCRISY from the right…👇 Nothing more. Enjoy. 😎✨

#TechCoupDaily evening edition: #Starlink was installed at the White House over objection of security officials who feared foreign hacking -- and still do. WH claimed Starlink would fix "dead" zones at complex; but Post sources say it was so #DOGE could transmit reams of data. #Resist

Of course the LA Times makes it look like a full on riot instead of showing that the mostly peaceful protesters were literally and constantly assaulted by ICE agents. The majority of fires that were started weren’t by the public but by ICE firing into the crowds and canisters starting fires. 🧵

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

The ACLU weighed in on Trump’s decision to federalize the National Guard as an “inflammatory abuse of power. This action puts Angelenos in harm’s way, exposes troops to legal and ethical consequences, and shreds a fundamental democratic principle, that the military has no place policing civilians.”

Here's the Washington Examiner piece that first quoted Stephen Miller ordering ICE to invade Home Deport a few weeks ago. This makes it clear that Miller himself ordered the escalation that has led to conflict in LA. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Excellent question.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

ICE surrendered their presumption of legitimacy when they kidnapped and internationally trafficked dozens-to-hundreds without due process and defied courts who have demanded their return. It’s cash now, no credit. GTFO of our communities and don’t come back until you have proof.

LAPD STATEMENT: “The protests remained peaceful… without incident…”

This is the cycle: raid, escalate, criminalize the response, send in troops. ICE raids are not neutral, they’re psychological warfare on communities, and now they’re using military backup. This isn’t enforcement. It’s state-sponsored intimidation.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked President Trump's executive order prohibiting transgender people incarcerated in federal custody from receiving gender-affirming medical care.

State Department briefing today - Opening announcement: Hey guys, from now on we're gonna go ahead and arrest the family members and any "sympathizers" of those who engage in whatever we feel like defining as an act of terror. Cool? Moving right along.

This is why people across the country need to remain engaged and not give up in the face of oppression

Donald Trump just approved the largest meat company in the world to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange—completely ignoring its history of corruption and bribery. Why? Maybe because they donated $5M to his inauguration. I'm pressing for answers.

There's a special place in hell for those who hide behind scripture.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

I couldn't agree more.

This article is absolutely wild.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

These men are trying to kill me

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

muy divertido

Instead of simply wishing people well this Memorial Day, here are five concrete policies that will protect servicemembers abroad and on the home front:

In a press release last week, the Trump Dept of Justice bragged that the sentencing of Scott Jenkins, a Virginia county sheriff convicted of selling sheriff's badges, demonstrates that it will not tolerate corruption in law enforcement. Today, Trump announced he had pardoned Jenkins.

The feigned helplessness and apathy of the world continues to baffle me.

President Trump's new pardon attorney, Ed Martin, described the men convicted of plotting to kidnap Gov. Whitmer as "victims just like January 6" and said that "on the pardon front, we can't leave these guys behind." www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

“The silence of America, the silence of others in the world only encourages Putin,” Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram. “Every such terrorist Russian strike is reason enough for new sanctions against Russia.” Don't financially support Russia, boycott everything. #NoMoneyToRussia

The extremists House GOP actually passed this bill with this language buried in it. Let that sink in folks. A bill promoting #autocracy. Call your senators first thing Tuesday morning. #Resist #BudgetBill

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino on his podcast last night: “The only thing that matters is power. Power. That is all that matters. A system of checks and balances? Haha! That’s a good one.”

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

People have the right to legal representation, which is why we submitted an amicus brief in support of Jenner & Block’s case when the Trump administration targeted them. This decision affirms that the government cannot target lawyers simply for being perceived political enemies.

“A construction worker in south Alabama says he was forcibly detained Wednesday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who claimed his proof of U.S. citizenship was fake.” www.al.com/news/mobile/...

While many Americans were still asleep, Republicans in the House of Representatives passed Trump’s huge, horrible mega-bill. It might be the worst, most damaging piece of legislation I’ve seen in my nearly 60 years in politics.

The state cannot have this power

I’d be curious to see how many attendees of Trump’s crypto dinner last night shorted the market today

BREAKING: Trump gave a gold watch to Chinese foreign national Justin Sun, who up until he invested $75M into Trump's crypto company, the SEC was investigating him for FRAUD. After then pouring $23M into Trump's meme coin, Sun got VIP ACCESS to Trump’s dinner last night. Imagine if Biden did this.
