Yet another elected Democratic official violently arrested and detained by Trump’s ICE Gestapo. This isn’t frog in boiling water. This fascism is happening quickly, clearly, brazenly.

Anti-cancel culture is worse than cancel culture and always has been for the exact same reason that the excesses of democracy are always less bad than the excesses of monarchy/feudalism/totalitarianism.

⚡️ A terrible night in Kyiv: Russia attacked the capital with dozens of kamikaze drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Russians destroyed a residential building, under the rubble of which there may be people. Officials report 1 killed and 40 injured.

The hilarity of Oliver North of all people ranting on Fox News about preventing Iran from getting missiles. Just ok Ollie...I mean only if you're the one selling them right?

Anybody claiming the MAGA assassin is anything other than an Alex Jones loving Trump voter, they’s a big fat liar.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Yesssssss… I love this 🙌🏼

HOLY SHIT, Philly showed up strong for No Kings Day! This is what democracy looks like! 🙏💪

More than 1 million in Boston! www.wcvb.com/article/more...

We should make June 14th No Kings Day permanently.

Current mood 🧪 #standupforscience #NoKings

it amazes me that to this day, we've got Fox pumping out a constant stream of blatant disinformation, and the MSM firing reporters who dare to express any obvious truth about fascism.

With Russia now holding over 200 square kilometers in Sumy Oblast, similar to that seized in the cross-border offensive on Kharkiv Oblast in May 2024, evaluations are torn between it being a limited escalation of fighting in the border zone or a major new Russian push, writes Francis Farrell.

Minnesota Gov. Walz confirms Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband are dead after an overnight "politically motivated assassination"

We will ruin your dictator day. All across America, the true patriots and the Meidas Mighty will engage in the largest peaceful protests in history. Enough is enough. You have pushed us to the brink, and we will not take it anymore. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

What a good look for Republicans The marines saved Los Angeles by detaining a veteran on his way to the VA. Doesn’t everyone feel safer now in our police state? Exclusive: US Marines carry out first known detention of civilian in Los Angeles, video shows

People needed at Tukwila ICE office tomorrow. #seattle #tukwila

We’ve heard reports of guidance for DHS to “pause” raids on agricultural worksites— and we’re skeptical. As long as Border Patrol and ICE are sweeping through farm worker communities making chaotic arrests like they did TODAY, they’re still hunting down farm workers.

I don't need to hear another word from anyone defending the NYT ever again and I have to assume the talented reporters and writers employed there will understand. This is Jenny McCarthy shit. Shameful and pathetic. Both sidesing scientists vs the stupidest people on earth. National Enquirer shit.

“Anti-Disease Lobby Launches Attacks”

I swear I am not making this up. Tonight Trump will go to the Kennedy Center to see “Les Miserables,” a play about a mass uprising against a tyrannical king. I hereby retire from satire.

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

NYT: “How will Trump’s illegal military takeover of LA play for Democrats?” I’m just a political communication scholar standing in front of our paper of record asking for them to not strategy frame an authoritarian takeover. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...

Just so we're clear, Donald Trump has deployed 2700 troops on US soil to deal with THIS... ... while providing zero assistance to our ally Ukraine, which is facing a hostile invasion from our adversary Russia.

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

Police in California appear to be violating §409.7 "The law now states clearly that law enforcement shall not intentionally assault, interfere with, or obstruct journalists covering such events," www.mediaguildwest.org/news/ryrx4zj...

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

The media needs to stop referring to RFK Jr. as a "vaccine skeptic." He is a conspiracy theorist and a vaccine denier.

#BillCassidy could have stopped this nomination.

As long as reporters in the briefing room and in the rope line etc don’t garbage Trump and Leavitt with this question - why did you pardon J6ers if you care about police safety? - they’ll continue to behave shamelessly hypocritically and won’t face any consequences.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

looks like an objective assessment to me

What country is this?

These militarist ICE raids are the actual government oppression that right wingers dreamed was happening during Covid. They are not up in arms like they were about masking, go figure.
