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

The stupidity is happening at ludicrous speed!

Stand back. Rescind this illegal, and immoral order. The absurdity of threatening the people of the United States with their own military— Act like the Commander-in-Chief. If you want to be president, at least try to play the part. Fake it, if nothing else. Stand back— We’ll clean up your mess.

A message to Marines at Camp Pendleton

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D) sued Alina Habba, U.S. attorney for New Jersey, for false arrest, malicious prosecution and defamation stemming from his arrest for protesting the Trump administration's deportation policies. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Please repost:

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

RIP to the great Sly Stone. A monumental loss. His PR just sent this out.

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

While are attention is diverted, this just happened. RFK Jr. Drops All Members Of U.S. Vaccine Advisory Panel In Unprecedented Move www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr...

Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me

"It gets somewhat lost in all the other high octane dimensions of this story that a raid on a Home Depot is literally an effort to arrest people who are eager to work and whose labor is in great demand. It’s about as far as you can get from just going after the bad guys, as the WH routinely claims."

So a white van with people wearing bulletproof vests pulls into a Home Depot. Masked ICE agents swarm out and ‘began handcuffing anyone they could grab’. Sounds legal, right? Canadians, don’t travel to the US, it’s not safe. You really could be grabbed and disappeared anywhere. #BoycottUSA #ElbowsUp

www.cnn.com/2025/06/09/p... US State Department ordered diplomatic posts around the world to “resume processing” of Harvard University student and exchange visitor visas on Friday after a judge halted Trump’s latest attempt to block international students from coming to the institution.

It’s at the point where nearly every time something happens, there’s a clip of her warning us it was coming 🤦

When I am on a flight, I would very much want the Air Traffic Controller responsible for my flight to be well rested and paid very well.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

Mike Lindell unwisely decided to take the stand in his own defense today in his defamation trial.

So...the ICE agents?

“We are witnessing the first stages of a Trump police state” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

FOX: Fox News alert… looks like a band is performing to a crowd in the street.. we see crowds building in Atlanta. You can see megaphones and signs

The President needs to explain why he took the escalatory step of activating the Nat’l Guard. As an Army vet, I know that using the military domestically should ONLY be a last resort.

It’s too early to say whether this particular incident ends up being the defining episode of the erosion of the line between the military and domestic law enforcement.

Seriously. #TheWorldHasBiggerProblems catchworld.etsy.com/listing/1080...

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Here's why you don't vote atupid people into the senate

Tom Homan says he was taken out of context by a reporter when he threatened to arrest Gavin Newsom. "The NBC reporter that interviewed me is very dishonest. We did a 20 minute interview and he cuts out a little clip and takes my words out of context." Jonathan Lemire: "NBC stands by its reporting"

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

You know, it would be a good day for some patriotic anonymous government worker who's likely to get fired anyway to release those unredacted Epstein files.

Downtown Los Angeles Free David Huerta rally just starting. Do not fuck with the unions, folks.

California AG Bonta: I, in partnership with Governor Gavin Newsom, are suing President Trump and asking the court to set aside the president's unlawful action federalizing the California National Guard.

Don’t be fooled. This “big, beautiful bill” will raise prices on most and cut and gut programs for working low income Americans all to give the fewer wealthiest a massive tax cut. This is wrong. youtube.com/shorts/gFkLl...

This is a pretty important point!

She was right.

Really, JD?

The Lt. Gov. of California has stated the State will sue the Trumpy Admin tomorrow for federalizing the National Guard. (CNN)

Republicans are complicit in the scapegoating of immigrants, while their employers, such as Trump himself, face no accountability whatsoever. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Yesterday, Trump said, "They get inches from their face and then spit!" about the L.A. protesters. He says he'll send the Marines. When insurrectionists tased Michael Fanone, causing him to have a heart attack, Trump called them peaceful protesters and pardoned them. He PARDONED THEM.

The hypocrisy is blinding!

Doocy: Gavin Newsom is daring Tom Homan to come and arrest him. Should he do it? Trump: I would do it if I were Tom. Gavin likes the publicity
