Donald Trump promised Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer last month that the two had struck a deal to "immediately" slash 25 percent tariffs on key UK exports. Yet the tariffs remain and there is no clear timeline for when they’ll lift.

This whole interview by @governor.ca.gov w @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social is the way you would *hope* your governor would sound, in response to historic, lawless over-reach. But if short on time, hear the final minute. Starts at time 13:40. A msg directly to Donald Trump www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/...

LAPD when they think no one’s looking

@mayor.lacity.gov @governor.ca.gov YOU MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

Nothing is ever smart or accurate with that particular “columnist.”

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

One argument I tried to make to centrist, right-leaning folks during 2024 was that if you really hate street protest and unrest and chaos, then you should absolutely not vote for Donald Trump, because he 100% guarantees more.

Obama’s legacy is complicated. Of the 2.8 million removals reported by ICE from Fiscal Years 2009-2016: - 1.51 million were migrants caught at the border. - 1.24 million were residents arrested in the interior. Most of the latter came in his first term, when he got the “Deporter in Chief” moniker.

Take it from Portland: Trump WANTS us to get violent.

congratulations assholes, you’ve bullied Gavin into getting off his right wing podcast circuit and back to pretending to care about his constituents again that’s a hell of a fuckup on your part

No lies detected.

Trump is trying to manufacture a crisis in LA County — deploying troops not for order, but to create chaos. Don’t take the bait. Never use violence or harm law enforcement.

Amen

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

"If you have the courage to speak, we are saved. If you fall silent, the country is doomed." Scott Pelley had some strong words to share on tonight's CNN special after the telecast of "Good Night, and Good Luck." I wrote up the highlights here >>> www.cnn.com/2025/06/07/m...

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

Rep. Gomez: LA County alone is 34% foreign born, 34%. So when he says they're going to liberate us, who is he going to liberate us from? Ourselves?

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

Thoughts and prayers to America's Gestapo, cowering in fear in the face of such violent [checks notes] . . . ur, dancing in the streets.

Legendary former NBA coach Don Nelson used what is perhaps the final crowning achievement of his career on Sunday as a chance to “protest” the Luka Dončić trade. Read more: www.nytimes.com/athletic/641...

Wayne Lewis, a founding voice of Atlantic Starr, helped craft timeless R&B hits like “Secret Lovers” and “Always.” His soulful legacy shaped generations of music and hearts. Rest in power, Wayne.

As a Marine once stationed at 29 Palms, I can’t imagine being sent to do this in an American city. I figured we would be here if there was a second Trump admin, but I didn’t think it would be this soon. Sadly, it’s only going to get worse.

1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

It’s Game 2 and I am already sick of seeing the Jason Kelce You Tube commercial.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:

Here we go again. Just like in 2020 right-wingers will be posting old videos or videos from other countries claiming it was today in the US. All for clicks and to fan the flames of division and hatred. It’s part of their standard playbook.

ABC 7 in Los Angeles cut away from a mayoral press conference to go to the NBA Finals. That came with an awkward transition from their announcement of that move, then more conference remarks, then a mid-sentence cut to commercials before the game.

This is all Merrick Garland’s fault.

If it was lethal to witness hypocrisy, I'd be dead.
