A United States Marine tells other soldiers to spoil Trump’s parade and not go to Los Angeles to go up against innocent peaceful citizens from protesting.

Donald Trump is good at one thing: fleecing people. Like spending $50 Million of our tax dollars for a military parade to stroke his, um, ego. Send him a message: #NoKings. Extra credit: paste ❌👑 into your Display Name! social.fieldteam6.org/s/BxNjF3jh

I’m not numb. I’m angry every damn day. At the lies, the cruelty, the noise. It’s in my face, in my ears, under my skin. I’m awake in a nightmare I can’t escape. And the worst part? They have every rotten trait a human can have, and they’re proud of it.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

State elections matter! Here's why. Your Attorney General is your legal representation in your state. Is yours working for you? Mine is. @atg.wa.gov Nick Brown is MY lawyer working for my interests.

New Jersey mayor sues Trump officials over arrest at immigration center. Mayor Ras Baraka, a Democrat who is now running for New Jersey governor, alleges in the lawsuit that he was wrongly arrested for trespassing without cause and maliciously prosecuted. www.reuters.com/world/us/new...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Supreme Court’s newest member, denounced on Thursday what she described as "relentless attacks" on judges, and an environment of harassment that "ultimately risks undermining our Constitution and the rule of law."

Wait, does Disney own the rights to Rocky Horror? Does that make Magenta and Columbia Disney princesses?

BREAKING: “The fact that we even have to introduce an amendment that says ICE cannot deport US citizens is batshit crazy.” —Ted Lieu & he’s fucking right. GOP is so far gone we now need legislation to stop the government from illegally disappearing its own people. This is fascism in broad daylight.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

What's the evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13? This exhaustive @rparloff.bsky.social review finds that the whole thing boils down to a vague, unexamined police statement that he "was confirmed to be a ranking member of the MS-13 gang by a proven and reliable source.” It's shockingly flimsy.

When Trump retreated on tariffs, his aides claimed this was his plan all along. It shows "what sort of people now populate the upper reaches of the U.S. government. They’re the sort ... you’d find in a regime like North Korea’s, willing to say whatever the great leader wants them to say that day."

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R): "We are all afraid…I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real."

"Every government lies now and then, but authoritarian regimes go further. They don’t just stretch or hide the truth. They look you in the eye and tell you that what you just saw didn’t happen." Propaganda is now part of our politics. New from @saletan.bsky.social:

It won’t ever make sense

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

The stupid... it b-u-r-n-s...!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

I’m not OK with what’s happening to our Country right now. Since silence can be interpreted as consent, I felt compelled to support today’s Prescott, Arizona #HandsOff rally.

What a day. What a country! 💪

I am so proud to be a San Diegan today! #handsoff youtu.be/3XgGFu5sOf0

We stopped being the greatest country in the world in 2016. No matter how many times Trump and his chain gang say it loud on social media, our country is not the envy it's the biggest joke.

Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people. Blazing your own path for the W 👏👏👏👏👏

Every life is a universe all its own. Mike Flanagan and Stephen King’s THE LIFE OF CHUCK See it in theaters- June. #HowDoYouDescribeTheIndescribable?

Someone got burned

Unkind men so often whither in the face of unkindness.

Huge congratulations to Susan Crawford on a resounding, well-earned victory tonight. Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election demonstrates Musk and Trump have gone too far, and any politician allied with them could swiftly face the end of their political career. My statement:

Today Wisconsin told Donald Trump and Elon Musk to fuck off.

Actually, quite flattering.

Sound up! WI Be Smart! Elect Susan Crawford!

Hey, Bondi, it cost Trump a $25,000 bribe to get you to keep Florida out of a class action suit against his 'University.' How much to allow Rep. Crockett to exercise her First Amendment rights?
