“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

What country is this?

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

The blowup between Elon and Trump hasn’t ended DOGE, it’s still expanding. Russ Vought now plans to institutionalize DOGE across the federal government, and Elon’s staffers are embedded deep within key agencies.

New in PN: Adam Serwer on America's "new dark age" "They see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control — a docile population that can be easily manipulated." — @adamserwer.bsky.social

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

Excellent question.

🚨BREAKING: Mississippi is asking the Supreme Court to uphold its mail-in ballot grace period. Mississippi is fighting back against a challenge from the RNC to strike down the law. Depending on how SCOTUS rules, it could change how over a dozen states conduct elections. Paige and I discuss.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

not enough said about how, by turning the national government against states on the basis of ordinary political disagreement, trump is undermining the idea that the union is worthwhile. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

Around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in the Middle District of Tennessee, the chief of the criminal division in that district posted this on LinkedIn: “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned…”

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

West Virginia is warning that women who have a miscarriage could be charged with a crime unless they contact local police. Every woman in WV should call 911 every time they have a period. Gum up the system with malicious compliance. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/h...

NEW: LAPD just declared ICE protesters an unlawful assembly. A few moments ago 👇🏾

This resignation is a warning sign. Hands off Crater Lake. Hands off our national parks.

Welcome to the gold-plated age of idiocracy by autocracy.

Totally not fascist.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Slowly coming to the conclusion that being informed about what’s going on in America is bad for my mental health.

We need details on this.

KENNEDY: Harvard is in many respects violating federal law SCARBOROUGH: What federal law is Harvard violating? KENNEDY: Harvard practices ideological capture

VAN HOLLEN: I'm simply asking you to provide the committee with a reorganization plan, and your response is 'maybe yes, maybe no.' Am I getting that right? LUTNICK: We're going to follow the law VAN HOLLEN: The law requires to you to submit these major changes to the Senate

The ignorance of this administration is jaw-dropping. On Wednesday, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) asked Education Secretary Linda McMahon if teaching the Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges counted as “illegal DEI.” McMahon wouldn’t give a straight yes or no. That says everything.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre? McMahon: I’d have to get back to you Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is? McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

There’s probably not an open bar. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Are we great yet?

Read? The Gazpacho Police and Peachtree Dish lady?

MURRAY: Will you allocate the $220m for literacy programs that Congress appropriated? McMAHON: We're looking at the unallocated dollars to determine which of those programs we can best spend on MURRAY: Those funds were appropriated. It looks to me like the dept is illegally impounding funding

I cannot get over these cops wearing night vision to arrest a dude on a Southwest Airlines flight in broad daylight.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I feel safer already.

Spare us the fake outrage.

BASH: Is it fair to say that what you are doing now is in part enacting Project 2025? VOUGHT: No, of course not. (This is a blatant lie.)

peter theils palantir becoming the worlds most powerful military system and data harvester is going to usher in a new, worse age of humanity. i hate to say it but this is complete libertarian cultural victory

What's in the Trump/GOP big, beautiful bill? -Tax cuts skewed to the rich -Medicaid & SNAP cuts -Ends IRS Direct File -New powers for Trump over the courts -Blocks state/local regulation against AI, including rent-gouging software like RealPage It's a big, ugly nightmare.

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

The entire point.

Hiding their faces, hiding their names by using pens to hold their pocket flaps up, hiding their names. ICE agents have “consciousness of guilt,” know they are committing crimes. They need to be unmasked, named, and charged #UnmaskICE

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will

Thou shalt not tie up children in zip ties and then deport them, for that maketh thou a MONSTER. A MONSTER! THE PEOPLE DOING ZIPTYING CHILDREN ARE MONSTERS!
