fun watching two post-teens with "whatever racism Fox needs today" for a personality fly up to the tampa No Kings demonstration with their truck and "trump" and "gulf of america" flags and come to a dead stop for 15 minutes, trapped in traffic, flags hanging limp, as they got mocked by 1000+ people

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Analyst on MPR asked about whether political violence is a problem now, and talks about partisanship. No. The problem is an enormous and growing community of far right radicals, mostly online. They are encouraged by Trump and his cronies, and actively celebrate violence, without consequence.

Worth noting: There are two prominent Jewish candidates in the NYC mayoral election, Brad Lander and Scott Stringer. Neither of them are the ones leaning hard into "Mamdani is a scary Muslim dude." In fact, one of them went so far as to endorse Mamdani as #2.

There are no ways to not let this become the story. The media & the moneyed-yet-mediocre who are in bed with fascists will not stop calling any space that does not welcome fascists an echo chamber until they do. It is a rhetorical trap designed convince people to welcome foxes into the hen house.

It would do wonders for my sanity if the media would stop acting like RFK Jr is just someone with good motives but misguided, and instead transparently present him as someone actively trying to ensure the destruction of American public health and endangering millions.

I spoke with the LA-area pastor who confronted masked men conducting an apparent immigration action on church property — men, she says, who said "the whole country is our property." DHS claims ICE wan't there — but I have video, and it may've still been a DHS team. religionnews.com/2025/06/13/i...

After Sen. Alex Padilla was thrown to the ground and handcuffed at a DHS press conference, right-wing media is coalescing around the same false narratives: www.mediamatters.org/newsmax/news...

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”
