A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Brian Wilson, musical mastermind behind the best of the Beach Boys, died Wednesday. His 1966 song "God Only Knows" has surprising depths of meaning (love, destiny, spirituality) and surprising musical complexities. Here's Joss Stone's wonderful cover. See you around.

Nice look for you, Facebook! Thanks, hometown paper! And more thanks to the people who advocated for the "permanently disabled" status of my account there to be overturned. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

NEW OVERNIGHT: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s attorneys ask Judge Xinis for severe sanctions against the Trump administration for violating court orders, saying officials stonewalled them for months, and outright lied. They want fines and an investigation. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Do you identify more with Dorothy, or the Wicked Witch of the West? Oh that’s a tough one. You better answer that one honey.

Thanks to reporters like @stevenbeynon.bsky.social, Military.com is becoming an absolutely essential news source in the second Trump era.

This is not a man defending the rule of law. This is a man continuing the project he began in his first term and tried to complete on January 6th: replacing the rule of law with himself.

a new washington post / GMU poll finds trump 15 points net negative on immigration, soft disapproval of his handling of LA protests (with lots of don't knows). the narrative that these protests are good for trump is not supported by data at this point. see: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/why-the-la...

I’ll be there, will you? No kings. No cults. Just the Constitution—and the people who hold the line.

WATCH: “It's not normal, says Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Russel Honoré on Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines to the streets of Los Angeles. “As opposed to de-escalating, I think it may have escalated the events.”

This shouldn’t be controversial. But yet here we are in 2025, with the cruelest administration in our nation’s history. Monsters.

At least 1,500 rallies so far expected across the United States. Steal the quoted tweet and spread widely. #3E #NoKingsProtest

Protestors shown stopping more instances of looting of community businesses. It is also noted that the would be looters across multiple videos in different areas are wearing matching outfits. #3E

"Hard line." "warning...would not be tolerated." The #BrokenPost is the fascist dictator's mouthpiece.

This was the plan the entire time and it was always going to be targeted towards Democratic run cities. It’s not about law and order. It’s about controlling by force the areas where Trump does not control by ideology.

🧵 I argue that we can understand the functioning of democracy through 3 core ideals, verification, deliberation and accountability. While no democracy fully achieves those ideals, this thread explains how MAGA destroys all three and inevitably results in democratic regression into authoritarianism.

It's absurd to debate whether militarized repression is a distraction or how hypothetical swing voters will react in 18 months. This is happening. Now. And we're less than 5 months into this administration. Wake up.

Hi All, Just sent this out, giving arguments why I believe that the US government is now actively helping the Russians kill Ukrainians. Personally, I think that point needs to be stated clearly, as the US people should acknowledge the actions of their government. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

That’s outrageous.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

He’s staying on Twitter because he likes that they pay people who spread child sexual abuse material and suggest white supremacist content when you sign up for a new account.

The Trump's DOJ is paying *$5 million* to the family of a woman who got shot because she 1) trespassed on federal property; 2) tried to break into a closed chamber of federal officials; and 3) ignored law enforcement commands to stop. 🎶 just a reminder 🎶

I urge you to read the full text of the the @governor.ca.gov speech tonight. It explains the facts of the situation, the president's dangerous recent moves and agenda, and the stakes for us all. It's excellent. Read and share with others wondering what's going on. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...
