TIME to to get real. We must protect ourselves. This video of the tactics and tools protesters used in Hong Kong is very informative. Masks, helmets, Saran Wrap in skin, laser pointers, traffic cones and water bottles, garbage can lids and suitcases, as shields. WATCH youtu.be/V0iytr0qM90?...

Thank you to every Democratic Governor signing a statement criticizing Trump for abusing his power by sending the National Guard to LA without working or consulting with Governor Newsom.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the ICE raids, calling them “chaotic federal sweeps” that aimed to fill an “arbitrary arrest quota.” “Donald Trump’s chaos is eroding trust, tearing families apart, and undermining the workers and industries that power America’s economy,” he said.

I’ve decided to use my photos from my cruise down the Amazon River as a cleanser for these dark times. If my photos help give you just a momentary break from the horror in LA and in DC, you are welcome. A Northern Caiman Lizard, Amazon Jungle, Peru

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ORDERS NATIONAL GUARD TO LOS ANGELES TO STOP PEACEFUL PROTESTS AGAINST ICE This is the moment many of us feared. Remember, Trump wants violence; he wants the martial law that any violence would quickly result in. I urge protesters to be smart and cautious.

Trump is disenfranchising voters. He only supports free speech that praises him. He’s ignoring our right to due process. He’s destroying public education, public health, health care, welfare assistance & justice. He wants to control women and take away their rights. Unacceptable! Fight!

US govt opts to keep ICE agents in Djibouti than gets upset that its agents are in Djibouti. “This is a situation the government both created and can remedy if it so chooses,” said Trina Realmuto, a lawyer for the immigrants in the case. Full story: theintercept.com/2025/06/05/i...

I just got back from a cruise down the Amazon River in Peru, only to learn about the Trump-Musk breakup and a few good Court rulings. I was only gone for 10 days. Every week feels like another year. My gift from the Amazon.

I’m having a major disconnect. On the one hand, RFKjr blames the environment and toxins on poor health in children. On the other, the EPA is dismantling clean air standards, eliminating all limits on greenhouse gases from coal and gas-fired power plants. So is the goal to harm children?

I’m still sorta surprised at how thoroughly Target misunderstood its customer—or, at least, one of its most important customers. Relatively well-off, college-educated suburban women do a disproportionately massive amount of consumer spending, loved Target, and are statistically not Trump voters

Seth, we were hoping you could tell us! Is a general strike the answer? Most people on Medicare, who I have spoken with today, didn’t even know that the MAGA Budget may cut Medicare by $500 billion over 10 years!

This is horrific. Gastapo who show no warrant, no ID, and are wearing face masks are the ones who need to be locked up. Terrorizing American citizens! This is hard to watch.

How to piss off the richest people in the world, Who paid, ~2 million for a dinner with Trump. Some paid up to $20 million, for a total of $148 million straight into his pockets. Trump arrived, shook hands, danced on stage, and then left. He stayed less than one hour. Guests were NOT happy.

NEWSFLASH: A 25% tariff on iPhones is still cheaper than making them in the U.S. He’s desperate for deals, folks.

I cannot stress enough how dangerous HR1 is. Call your senators. Don't just ask them to oppose the bill. Ask them to utilize every parliamentary procedure possible. Demand they put every extraneous matter to a vote. Ask them to vote against cloture. Ask them to object to unanimous consent.

We need a Public Option. It’s the most efficient way to move to a single payer system. The idea came from a group of women health care leaders in CA. When modeled, ~80% of Americans would choose the public option over private or employer health insurance. www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/...
