This meme is everywhere.

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

here's today's post: "what the fuck is this" — none of it is normal — or necessary. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

For fans of motorcycle racing, race finishes don't get more exciting than Moto2 in Aragon this weekend. Simply, Wow 😳

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

This is true.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

I think we’ve found the source of the violence

Right now, the President of the United States is treating the citizens of the second largest city in the country as enemies, to be put down by the military. This from a guy who as sitting President sent a mob to storm the US Capital and did nothing to stop the violence that ensued.

The National Guard in LA is visibly carrying lethal weapons. If they use those weapons, killing protesting American citizens, the consequences will be unimaginable. Some in the media are predicting that Trump wants this to happen. Let's not give him that excuse. Keep it peaceful. (2/2)

There is talk in the media about not giving Trump what he wants by protesting aggressively against ICE or the presence of the Guard in LA. That's a tough argument in the face of the injustices of ICE, and the violent tactics they use. (1/2)

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN: "We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?
