Trump denies acting like a wannabe king. Using the royal "we." "No, no... We're not a king. We're not a king at all."

Just a thought: hiring Steven Miller should be an impeachable offense.

"I'm Jack, from Cincinnati. I enjoy you."

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country." Don't let that slide by.

🧵Massive ICE raids in Downey today, San Pedro, Arleta, Desert Hot Springs, Bellflower People are being chased out of Home Depots, snatched from their cars, dragged out of their houses I want to know how they're finding them, getting their names & addresses Our country is being hunted down.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

"Liberate this city from socialists and burdensome leadership." If that's not regime change, I don't know what to tell you. The inflection point is now.

I have trouble believing any state employee would vote for Cuomo for mayor. He already got us two more painful hours of ethics training a year from his stint as governor. This is not an endorsement or anything, you do you. But I think about Cuomo every time I have to do that miserable training.

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

No Kings protests on June 14th need to happen. But July 14th Bastille Days have gotta be a thing. Even if it's a weekday. Stoo workage on Bastille Day. That's all I gotta say

Republicans BURIED a line in their "big beautiful bill" that would help Trump officials ignore court orders. One problem? It violates the Senate's rules. I’m going to fight to strip this provision out. And we need everyone in the fight against this bill.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

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.

The last time that a president sent in the National Guard without the Governor's request was to enforce the Supreme Court's desegregation ruling. This time it's to fight the people's constitutional right to protest state action. Let thar sink in.

Riley Gaines literally claims on Fox News that Simone Biles is trying to ride her coattails. "They believe the intention behind this is that Simone has a new docuseries coming out on Netflix. They believe it's an attempt to put her name, her profile, her face, her image back in the public sphere."

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.

Someone please check Susan Collins’ concern level

Some people write about protesters like they think there's a Protest Central issuing orders every protester must obey because the only organizations they belong to are profoundly hierarchical. They can't yet imagine a more decentralized way of being, one built on trust & solidarity rather than fear.

Anti-ICE protest in DTLA 6/6/25. For @calmatters.org

I love Kat, she's a STAR Follow and support her, she's running for Congress @katmabu.bsky.social katforillinois.com

LA needs the normies to join the protests. The elderly "Hands Off" and Tesla protestors need to show up

I really wanna see some reporting from South Florida Latine communities reacting to the Trump travel ban including Cuba. And just for clarity, that puts an end to the Wet Foot Dry Foot Policy, right?

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

The next US President should currently be making $100,000 I am not taking questions at this time.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

happy Pride month specifically to the artist and writer duo from page 148 of Scott McCloud's Making Comics (2006)

In his first term, it was the myth of the savvy businessman. As he ran for his second, it was the myth of the "strong leader." But now, Trump’s entire persona is crumbling in real-time as he struggles to hide his profound weakness as a leader.

ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.” He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

The Conflict now reached Wikipedia War page territory

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed fellow Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as her first choice for New York City mayor.

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?
