The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

ALL THE PROTESTS IN LA HAVE BEEN PEACEFUL. PLEASE DO NOT IMPLY OTHERWISE. Only the robocop brigade is inciting violence, being violent, using teargas, etc. Also, reminder: Homan and others have "deputized" god knows who as part of their deployment. Many of these "officers" look out of control.

fascism is here already. fuck ICE fuck nazis!!!

Now everyone will go look up the book and it will make NY Times. #sighs #booksky #writingcommunity

Reports that ICE ran a barricade and hit protesters in LA

As I said yesterday, they are now just using the Palestinian people for target practice. SHAME!!!

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Next to Trump and Musk, Shatner and I look like adoring newlyweds.

This tweet aged like milk in the sun

The straightest thing you can do as a man is to think a lot about two other guys' balls.

WE NEED TO SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE BOTH SIDES HERE

Oh.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

Totally not fascist.

ICE = cowards

That's why.

I refuse to apologize for who I am or the love I share with my husband. But living proud in a world that wants us silent is exhausting. What happened to Jonathan Joss was a reminder that being visible can cost us everything. What is the balance between being proud and staying alive?

It’s on record.

He is disgusting.

Are we great yet?

Harvey Milk signed up to serve a country that deprived him of his liberty. He served admirably in the Korean War on the USS Kittiwake, a rescue submarine. Milk was a diving officer in the war and later a diving instructor and lieutenant. He was an officer who saved lives. Continued...

The DNC commissioned a taco truck to park outside the RNC’s D.C. headquarters, inspired by Donald Trump's new TACO nickname: “Trump Always Chickens Out.” https://trib.al/NDbNRfE

Hegseth has ordered that the USNS Harvey Milk, named for the iconic gay rights icon, be renamed. Harvey Milk served as a diving officer and later as a diving instructor for four years in the U.S. Navy. That this would happen at the start of #pridemonth is intentional.

Stephen King knows horror better than anyone.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Waking up to Ukraine absolutely shredding Russian military and air force Is amazing Slava Ukrainii

He’s such an embarrassment. And like so many self-professed straight Christians before him, we may one day learn he’s a regular on Grindr and been in the closet for years. www.huffpost.com/entry/indian...

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

A viral post is spreading fear on all platforms, supposedly from Liz and Me, about a nonexistent bill—just like the far right used to do. We cannot become what we’re fighting. The truth still matters. We win by being better, not louder. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/dont-fight...

You can act on false conspiracy theories about the government, and violate numerous laws, and that is fine. But if you suggest that government is not dysfunctional, you will get fired from DOGE:

“The COIN-operated Presidency” 🤡 @nytimes.com @karaswisher.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

George Floyd should be alive today. He should be raising his daughter, living his life. 5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags. His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.” Let’s stop failing her, and him. Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

The GOP was supposed to cut through the deficit. Instead they’re slashing our social safety net while ballooning our debt.
