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?

Sending Marines to face off against citizens on U.S. soil is fundamentally un-American, a MASSIVE waste of taxpayer dollars, and an insult to our servicemembers.   A dangerous and needless escalation by a wannabe dictator.   Everyone must speak out against this abuse of power.

from today's post, about Donny Convict's bloodthirsty spite-fueled police-state clusterfuck in Los Angeles. please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/43AfmSZ (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

For decades, Sec. Kennedy has spread lies about vaccines. Now, his misinformation will lead to preventable illness & death. Firing independent experts is a dangerous move that makes it harder for Americans to access vaccines that are safe, effective & essential to saving lives.

Turns out, as usual, it was all just talk.

But, but, but, the Founding Fathers wanted everyone to have an assault weapon… www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

Hm interesting bit from Sen. Cassidy's floor speech endorsing RFK Jr www.cassidy.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

“Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has taken the extraordinary step of firing the expert panel that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, saying the action is needed to restore faith in vaccines.” www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...

If Hezbollah or the Houthis captured a ship in international waters and arrested its crew, im pretty sure the press and politicians would be calling that kidnapping or hostage taking

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

ICE agents intentionally started the violence in LA.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

I still think it's pretty wild that corrupt oligarchs destroyed the entirety of U.S. consumer protection and corporate oversight and it's barely written about by journalists or policy folks just not really of any serious interest

Who the F in their right minds is going to come here for the Olympics in 2028?

“At best a National Guard solider gets 4 hrs of training on civil disturbances a year”—former Illinois NG Commander on NPR just now

In a world of Stephen Millers, be *anyone* else.

The greta video

Pretty incredible how the press amplified the “OMG EGGS ARE SO EXPENSIVE” narrative only to abandon it cold turkey post election. This is how they’ve failed us—simply repeating the Right’s narratives without ever questioning the facts or motives.

I do wonder what it costs financially to have an army occupying Los Angeles and why I keep being told the government doesn't have enough money to pay for public schools to buy supplies for their teachers

Five years ago today: Buffalo Police knocked down a 75-year old man at a George Floyd demonstration, putting him in the hospital for a month with a concussion. Trump went on Twitter to promote a conspiracy theory about it and say the man had it coming.
