German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, walked away from his White House meeting with Trump yesterday with subtle but significant wins: softened tariffs, solidified NATO cooperation, and reinforcement of support for Ukraine. We were all so busy watching the circus, we missed the chess match. Merz won

LMFAO

Rep Al Green at the Mayday Movement rally today in DC “as a prosecutor in the House of Representatives I must bring a vote of Impeachment to the house” “We will not allow a tyrant to take over our democracy. This country was not built for dictatorship we were built for democracy” #3E

Young Israelis in Jerusalem marched against genocide during their pride parade, police and undercovers tried to take their signs unsuccessfully.

ICE raids hit across Los Angeles today—and locals are rising up. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏾 This was about an hour ago…

BREAKING: Abrego Garcia is being returned to the United States to face criminal charges, according to three sources familiar: abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

If you need a breather from all this bullshit, here's a photo of Earth. From Saturn. We're that slightly brighter star at centre right.

Former U.S. attorney Damian Williams leaves Paul Weiss for Jenner & Block {gift link:} wapo.st/3HIdsXK

Is anyone surprised that the Department of Homeland Security, under the direction of a convicted felon and a human hair extension, are using the Terrorist Watch List for brazenly political purposes? #NHPolitics www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/2...

Elon Musk is not an ally to the left (or anyone). He’s a fucking Nazi. Any Democratic leadership trying to co-opt Musk should be laughed at and run out of office. He’s responsible for thousands losing their jobs, income, and security, and for killing hundreds of thousands more w/cuts.

Here's Trump looking at a graph they gave him, reciting what he sees, but unaware that he's looking at it upside down.

This should be a national debate, not an executive power grab. 📌 The Posse Comitatus Act prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

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.

ANYONE who thinks ANY group should accept fewer human rights than everyone else is totally unfit to serve as an EHRC commissioner.

I’m old enough to remember when the craziest, most outrageous thing to happen in the White House was a tan suit…

Is anyone surprised?

And to think we could have had Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. What the actual fuck!!

In order to meet quotas, Honolulu police wrongfully arrested at least 129 people for drunk driving whose blood alcohol levels were 0.000 between 2022 and 2024. The ACLU of Hawaii is taking the police department to court.

Good to see that the exodus and humiliation of Paul Weiss continues.

“Why is the beyond meat account wading into current events” I just think that if men are too emotional to hold positions of power, we should leave it up to cows

Wow Paul Weiss Loses Another Prominent Lawyer in Wake of Trump Deal www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/b... Gift article.

🚨BREAKING: Mississippi is asking the Supreme Court to uphold its mail-in ballot grace period. Mississippi is fighting back against a challenge from the RNC to strike down the law. Depending on how SCOTUS rules, it could change how over a dozen states conduct elections. Paige and I discuss.

I searched through four major news sites for any story that wasn't overwhelmingly depressing to no avail. Then I found this. It's kitten season and the @apnews.com is doing their part. Some adorable pictures here. apnews.com/article/kitt...

Very Well Said…..😊💙

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

Thank you to all the incredibly brave soldiers, sailors, and airmen who, not so long ago, gave so much to rid the world of Fascism and Tyranny. Let us not drop the baton, lest their sacrifices be in vain.

Kristi Noem less than a month ago: "There is no scenario where Abrego Garcia will be in the United States again." (No matter what happens, bringing him back to the US is a climbdown for the administration)

The falling out between Nazi Musk and the orange felon is quite scrumptious. I need more wine and snacks.

The Epstein files haven’t been released because lunatic Kash Patel and bribe for hire Pam Bondi are currently doing their best to cover them up for their disgusting boss because he’s in them.

MAGA hasn’t been this visibly upset since a black man was elected President or when First Lady Michelle Obama wanted children to eat healthier in schools or when black people were given the right to vote or when the first black President created a healthcare program.

It was all downhill from this shitty display.

After MAGA Commerce Secretary Lutnick replies to Congresswoman Madeleine Dean’s comment about Walmart increasing prices for bananas by 8% with “If you build in America, there is no tariff,” she humiliates him with her response: “We cannot build bananas in America." 🤣🔥

Maybe it goes without saying, but Linda McMahon is a total fucking moron as well as corrupt AF so it makes perfect sense that she’s the MAGA secretary of education since she is only tasked with destroying the U.S. education system.

LMAO, the orange felon is selling the trashy red Tesla that was gifted to him by Nazi Musk which is currently sitting in front of the White House since he doesn’t drive. This petulant feud between two fragile thin skinned deranged con men is getting funnier by the hour.

Trump is now boycotting Tesla. He is reportedly getting rid of the Tesla he bought from Musk, plans to sell it or give it away. #TeslaTakeDown

Russia has carried out more terrorist attacks on Kyiv, Ukraine, even targeting first responders who were trying to save victims. This is what Ukraine endures daily. Ukraine hits military equipment with 0 civilian casualties, Russia hits innocent men, women and children.

Chaos at a US Federal Courthouse as ICE abducts a man moments after his immigration hearing, people bravely tried to block the abduction. #3E

Elon Musk palling around with top Russian government officials as they carry out large scale terrorist attacks across Ukraine

Trump pressures the US senate to ease up sanctions on Russia while Russia bombards civilians in Ukraine.

You can't even begin to wrap your head around the Epstein files without first looking at this.

Trump is now targeting states he sees as "democrat". Trump is preparing to cancel federal funding for California, however, California sends more than $80 billion to the Federal government yearly to keep nearly a dozen Republican majority states from collapsing.

Trump works for Russia. One of Russia’s objectives is to balkanize the US, and they’ve especially targeted California, to push destabilization and ultimately secession, aiming to trigger a civil war. It’s a far-fetched plot that probably won’t succeed, but that won’t stop them from trying.

Trump just sent an emergency appeal to SCOTUS to let him dismantle the Department of Education and fire hundreds of staff. This isn’t reform—it’s a full-blown assault on public schools, teachers, and students. He and his fascist regime truly want to destroy education. tinyurl.com/DOE-Trump
