The first known detention by the US Marines in their recent Los Angeles deployment is of... a US Army veteran on his way to an office at the Department of Veteran Affairs building. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

The first civilian detained by U.S. Marines in Los Angeles was an ARMY VETERAN on his way to a VA APPOINTMENT

Defund every one of these specific cops. Remove them from their jobs. Melt down their weapons. Hire social workers and mental health outreach people with the money you save.

Is anyone shocked the first American detained by the Marines is a Black man? Yeah me neither.

“This year’s mayoral race has so far been a strange, frustrating exercise,” Eric Lach writes. The Democratic primary, usually definitive, is looking like a race between Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani—neither of whom is guaranteed to win in November.

None of this is sustainable. Republicans know it but they are too afraid to say it. All of this will come crashing down in the worst ways possible.

The Trump admin just figured out why Voice of America, who they want to eliminate, has served us well for many decades.

Gavin Newsom appears to be playing Trump well, clarifying that the toddler is naked & barely can speak. Suddenly, Newsom has surged as the leader of the democratic party.

Instead of protecting and defending the country, Trump has unleashed the military to terrorize Americans and march for his birthday. Congrats, Republicans. This is what you've enabled.

So the most immediately prophetic thing about the CIVIL WAR movie and the current state of America is this guy - this guy seems to be reigning supreme out there now.

Donald Trump doesn't care about law enforcement. He cares about power. It's why he's deploying military personnel to Los Angeles. And it's why he pardoned the violent criminals who attacked Capitol Police on January 6th.

The Trump administration will be remembered for being incompetent at everything except fascism.

USAGM today urgently called back to work the staff of the Voice of America's Farsi language service. All had been on paid admin leave for the past three months with the rest of VOA's silenced journalists.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

i wonder if James Gunn touches on this in the new Superman movie

About 2,000 transgender people are incarcerated in federal prisons, according to the Bureau of Prisons — a tiny fraction of the federal prison population. But they are disproportionately targeted for abuse and assault.

Israel is at war with Iran. Now what? slate.com/news-and-pol...

Don't let it get lost in your (justifiable) outrage the reprehensible treatment of Senator @padilla.senate.gov; He was attempting to speak out against DHS's statement saying they're in LA to "liberate this city from...leadership" They're talking about duly elected officials! This is a coup attempt!

President Donald Trump on Thursday pulled the federal government out of what Northwest tribes have hailed as a historic agreement to recover salmon in the Columbia River Basin.

Execs from the company that helped foment a genocide are now taking their expertise to the US Army.

New Reuters/Ipsos poll: - 35% of adults approve of Trump’s response to LA protests - 50% disapprove By net +9 adults say the president has “gone too far with arrests of immigrants” Other polls paint similar picture: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/all-the-po...

ICE abducted Moises Sotelo today. He is a trusted vineyard management business owner from Newburg, Oregon, who has been in the US since 1994. He has a wife, three children, and five grandchildren who need him to be returned safely to them.

“The largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history.” - @justinwolfers.bsky.social

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

It's a backboard-shattering slam dunk for whichever Democrat going on Meet the Press on Sunday to ask Kristen Welker why NBC News didn't say the video contradicts the White House in this headline. Holding the media accountable publicly has to be the responsibility of the party opposing fascism

Started / Going

This is a watershed moment. Senator Padilla getting thrown to the ground and handcuffed. Trump admitting his mass deportations are targeting hard-working people that are contributing vitally to the US economy. Trump sending troops into a US city that even local law enforcement didn't ask for. 1/

The worst president in history, Trump, is now the most unpopular president in history on June 11th of the first year of his second term in office. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

The Angels are reportedly calling up top prospect Christian Moore. Here's more on his promotion and the Angels continuing to aggressively promote their top Draft picks and prospects. www.mlb.com/news/christi...

Watching all this unfold and just thinking… We’d be in a very different place right now if Kamala were president.

Attention: @schumer.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov ‼️

If Pete Hegseth recommended mobilizing the National Guard, he needs to resign now. The job is too big for him. I'm concerned that these actions can come right here to Dalton, West Rome, Cedartown, and all the other small towns across Georgia.

I honestly think it’s time for some Dems to start dropping f-bombs. On national television. Let’s start acting like the crisis this is

Secretary @KristiNoem accusing Padilla of “political theater” is delicious

But he went to the Kennedy Center to see Les Miserables instead of the Situation Room. Dereliction of duty is impeachable.

Trump is powerless. Israel just stuffed one straight up his loose ass!
