Odd, how MS-13 gang members are all ALL OVER California during elections, but conspicuously absent when ICE is rounding up "criminals" in that state. Instead, ICE goes to Home Depot to arrest helpful people looking for home improvement jobs. It's *almost* as if everything Trump tells us is a lie.

She was right.

Who actually believes the tanks will leave DC when this event is over?

“Corporations have been pulling back on sponsorship of Pride rallies in response to the (Trump) administration’s attacks on diversity,” said Stephen Gaskill, a strategic communications consultant and former president of the Florida LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/06/07/c...

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

On Flag Day, we're reclaiming patriotism. 🗽 Join Indivisible’s No Kings Day of Defiance—a nationwide push to say loud and clear: we are a democracy, not a dictatorship. No immunity. No coronation. No kings. 👑❌ #NoKings #FlagDay www.mobilize.us/noki...

I just want to know whose side Big Balls is on in this fight.

These people are just not serious.

Trump has picked 2022 law school grad Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate (such “physical prowess”) who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK. 1/

For all his professions of piety, Mike Johnson is a gifted liar

There’s a reason beige isn’t on the Pride flag.

A reminder for everyone who thinks that government service is a cushy, do-nothing job. Serving the public takes commitment, especially if you’re a political appointee. Will this experience change his mind? Probably not but at least he knows what being a government worker is really like.

i’m here you fuckaas bitch

The Times finally makes a first step

Typical of this type. Lots of bluster until you call them out. Then just stammering looking for a way out.

No man more beneath contempt has lived in America in my lifetime. Donald Trump is across the board the worst human in my country; our inability to educate our population to any decent standard is what led to this monster—and he is, daily and unabashedly, a veritable monster—becoming our dictator.

One of the biggest enemies to authoritarianism is education. Harvard adds some more free online courses 👏🏼 pll.harvard.edu/course/ameri...

Our media is failing us.

Enormous Abe Simpson energy here.

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

A story about why Democrats are losers, in four parts.

Sen. Rosen discovering what Floridians already knew: Marco Rubio is a fraud.

These are clearly not the “experts” we think they are if they can’t see the obvious writing on the wall.

The president is using the power of his office to line his own pockets, and doing it in broad daylight too. This is a five-alarm fire.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Since mid-2022, 1.2 million callers have been routed to 988’s LGBTQ line. The Trump administration aims to gut it.

Oh.

Our president was old with memory problems, but was committed to serving the American people and had a 50 year career of public service to prove it. Their president is old with memory problems, is a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and con man, and uses the presidency to line his pockets.

My Saturday PSA: Joe Biden isn’t the president anymore. Instead, we’ve got a mentally deranged and ethically compromised old man with the nuclear codes trespassing in the Oval Office. Stop talking about Joe Biden. Start talking about the Convicted Felon, Donald Trump.

someone tell jake tapper and the rest of the dc media club that theres an elderly out of touch man with his hands on the nukes. oh wait, he's a republican. doesnt count.

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

BREAKING: The Eleventh Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, holds that Florida’s anti-drag law is likely unconstitutional and upholds the injunction barring enforcement of the ban. media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

Who I feel sorry for is America’s homegrown racists, who have worked hard for decades only to be forced to compete with Afrikaners for their jobs.

"The American Civil Liberties Union tracks "anti-LGBTQ bills." The group says the bulk of them contain restrictions on transgender people and that a record 575 bills had been filed in states through April. Last year, there were 533 and there were 510 in 2023" JFC they're obsessed. Lunatic behavior.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

"How, then, can we tell whether America has crossed the line into authoritarianism? We propose a simple metric: the cost of opposing the government. In democracies, citizens are not punished for peacefully opposing those in power. "

Love this!

Well deserved. www.axios.com/2025/05/07/d...

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, who was pushing junk science from an official position way before RFK Jr. got the chance at HHS, is once again doing his best to make sure we all get sicker. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/05/07/a...
