this post is so mangled by weasel words and passive voice that i literally don’t understand what the fuck it means

The Washington Post is hopelessly compromised. They contact an expert to help them write a story and then they question his credibility in the same story (the parenthetical info suggests he can't be trusted because he donated to Democrats at some point).

Yet another lie. 🤥 www.mediaite.com/media/tv/lap...

Playing in a bipartisan congressional baseball game with the party enabling the fascist assault on multiple Democratic led cities is quite a thing.

It took THREE WEEKS to get this indictment. I have to ask; how many grand juries did they shop before getting the indictment? www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

FOX: “27% support, 53% oppose” 👀 #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

This is how you normalize authoritarianism.

Angus: Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in liberal democracy—he doesn’t believe in the rule of law. Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada. He is welcoming Vladimir Putin’s sock puppet.

💥 BREAKING: DICK'S Sporting Goods shareholders have voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal (tally TBA). Proposal asking DICK'S to report on "affirmative action risks" of "discrimination" cited lawsuits filed against other companies by America First Legal, a group founded by Stephen Miller.

Oh.

Idiocracy was a documentary.

Reporter to Leavitt: "I'm struck that the president has not at any point said 'the most important thing is to protect the 1st Amendment rights of peaceful protesters' ... why is he not out saying, 'all peaceful protesters will be protected?'"

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

I talked to @haaretzcom.bsky.social about Palestine and Israel, generational trauma, and how the far-right is trying weaponize Palestinian, Israeli, and Jewish pain for its authoritarian own agenda: www.haaretz.com/us-news/2025...

Los Angeles 2025

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

Thing I need all Dems at every level to absorb yesterday: if someone pulls a knife on you, you are in a knife fight, whether or not you want to be

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

The idea of a politicized military is terrifying.

www.newyorker.com/books/page-t... this is really good. A large percentage of people are quite stupid, or can be led to believe stupid things when it suits them. Also selfish and self centred. The pandemic proved that.

This dude who will “run” Doge now was the least important of the 3 founders of Airbnb by a long stretch. Brian & Nathan were the show when I took them all out to coffee 15 years ago after they launched, but Joe hardly registered, as inevitable extra founders do not www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...

Every elected Democrat - not just in California but nationwide - should be on TV and radio today telling this story to the American people and condemning Trump’s DHS agents for trying to round up first graders in elementary school.

The city of Glendale, Calif. is ending an agreement with ICE to temporarily hold migrant detainees in the local jail. NPR's A Martinez speaks with Mayor Ara Najarian about the decision.

🌻 Greta Thunberg being released... the internetWorld is gunna explode on this one c'mon lets make this interview statement Famous!!

LET THIS SINK IN: Kristi Noem wants FEMA gone—while the country burns. Trump’s team stood in the White House and said with full chest: abolish emergency disaster relief. Let it flood. Let it burn. Let it collapse. This is not governance. It’s arson.

Crowds at the LA Football Club chanting Fuck ICE! Music to my ears!

fox news was very triggered by gavin newsom's speech last night so they had to throw up smears of migrants while he spoke

LAPD shoot US woman with a rubber bullet for trying to get into her home, they were blocking her entrance and there was no protest in sight. “Holy fuck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” ( www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlore) #3E #StopICE

Well this is awkward

Terry Moran, if you’re reading this: the door is open.

This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.

Pam Bondi: "After the October 7 anniversary, they added new drinks to the menu. One was 'Sweet Sinwar' in honor, of tribute to the leader of Hamas... You can't do that. And so we've sued them & we're gonna stop this from happening. And anywhere in the country, if you do this, we're coming after you"

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

i just watched a clip of stephen miller talking to hannity from a few days ago and my god is that guy a stone cold freak. like, everything about him is profoundly off-putting, like a bug in an eggar suit

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past
