Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.

ABC News is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller The road to fascism is paved with "objectivity" and "civility."

Something the Democratic Party is NOT doing right now, which it MUST DO, Is run ads on EVERY MEDIA PLATFORM KNOWN UNDER SUN, about the unconstitutionality of using troops on domestic soil. STOP ASSUMING people learned the Constitution in school. THEY DID NOT! You cannot

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Have ICE protests made Los Angeles too dangerous to live in? We asked three scowling retirees at a Shoney's in Branson.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

The President of the United States this week has: - Restored the name of Robert E. Lee to a U.S. military base (Lee fought against the U.S. military) -Deployed Marines to an American city. - Shipped military equipment to Washington D.C. for a military “parade.”

Hypocrisy anyone? 😤😤😤

Oh.

A piece of advice from an old retired soldier to the commanders and leaders currently serving: Review the regulations & policies addressing political behavior when wearing the uniform, and then address those standards with your teams.

Texans are protesting peacefully, and Greg Abbott has the National Guard on standby. 
Because nothing scares him more than the people standing up and speaking out. Let me remind y’all: the right to peaceful protest is in the Constitution.

This is... not how any of this is supposed to work. The military needs to be non-political. Checking soldiers for their loyalty to the President is offensive.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Starting to think these guys may not be entirely on the level.

DEMS: this is where the culture is at. You don't even have to lead. Just follow.

This is a map of Los Angeles. The arrow points to a red dot. That red dot (roughly) represents the protest area seen on TV. To me, the gross mischaracterization of what’s happening in Los Angeles looks like an excuse to deploy the military—to protect government assets like ICE.

Unless the President invokes the Insurrection Act, Marines cannot engage in law enforcement without violating the Posse Comitatus Act. Our Marines are the most lethal fighting force in the world. They’re trained for war, not for domestic civilian operations. taskandpurpose.com/news/marines...

Trump address at Ft Bragg a shameful politicization of active military. Their oath of loyalty is to the Constitution not a political leader. We are sliding into lawless behavior by the Trump Administration. Vengeance. Violence. Expel 11million migrants? A disaster.

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

A study from JAMA Pediatrics compares states that have permissive gun laws with others that have strict regulations. The states with tougher rules did not see a rise in gun deaths among children and teens.

State media celebrates the politicization of the military

all conservatives are bots

ICE detentions of people with no criminal records are up nearly 900 percent over the same period last year. Gift link: wapo.st/43DxcEB

It’s day five in Occupied California, and people are engaging in dangerous behavior like walking their dogs and eating lunch. Thank goodness the marines are on their way to put a stop to this.

What a great thread 👏

This country has gone mad. ABC News paid a historic bribe to Dictator Trump—begging him not to destroy it—and has now let go a beloved, celebrated journalist for... ...an *accurate tweet* whose accuracy is *confirmed* by *all prior reporting* on the life and times of Stephen Miller. We are lost.

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

Hypocrisy. Leave it to Leavitt.

“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived. The question, now, is whether Americans who hate tyranny can be roused to respond.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

Fascism is a big price to pay for making a few inadequate men feel better about themselves.

Has anyone heard from the NRA? Forming armed citizen militia to oppose troops being deployed by the Federal Government to control the civilian population was supposed to be their thing wasn't it?

Trump is now threatening protestors who might want to disrupt his birthday parade. Plans are for there to be nationwide demonstrations. Don't let this threat dissuade you from exercising your 1st amendment rights — in fact, this threat is all the more reason to show up in huge numbers.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced today that the Department of Justice is investigating Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia for his alleged involvement in the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby and the unexplained. disappearance of Amelia Earhart.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

“I’m one of the good guys keeping America safe,” I tell myself as I try to kidnap a six-year-old girl from an elementary school.

"An incompetent warning shot or the act of a coward, either way it needs to be properly investigated... how is it okay for your police force to be firing at unarmed Australian journalists?" Karl Stefanovic, an anchor for the Australian broadcast channel that @laurentomasi.bsky.social works for.

here's today's post: "a police state, but with morons" — Donny and his Sewer Clowns suck at fascism — like everything else they do. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

There's a lot to unpack here. But the "why do people in the developed world die from chronic diseases at higher rates than in poorer countries" is because we survive long enough to die from chronic rather than infectious disease. This is epidemiology 101. It's not a mystery.

A rule of thumb that will rarely lead you astray in this country is to assume that a riot was started by the people who showed up armed and dressed for a riot.

Gavin Newsom is responding to red state critics who represent states with higher murder rates than California, including Mike Johnson (Louisiana) and Tommy Tuberville (Alabama).

Elementary school kids?
