Every Elon Musk tweet is 1,000x more comprehensible if you read it in Phil Daniel’s voice and shout PARKLIFE at the end

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

In 1971 Nicolae Ceaușescu visited North Korea ... saw Juche in action and all the mass spectacles to the cult of the Kims and thought "I'll have a bit of that." Quite obviously Trump’s admiration for Putin and those shows of strength in Moscow every year have had a similar impact on turnip-brain.

Think the biggest area of gross negligence from Sunak and Hunt in the dying days of their govt was cutting NI *twice* when they *knew* how totally fucked the public sector was, prisons in particular. But we look back and are supposed to think they were the 'sensibles' in the Tory party. No thanks.

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

Fox News brings on Rebekah Koffler to talk about the military parade, but she seems to be heavily intoxicated so they cut away with quickness

LMFAO 😂 it’s zero people for the 🤡 clown show.

Shrink from it? He can hardly wait to deliver for his investors.

#NoKings New York

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

It is extraordinary, but grimly inevitable, that the people most responsible for hobbling the UK have become the loudest & whiniest critics of the consequences of their own actions. A big part of the process lies in people like ‘Lord’ Hannan actually being *rewarded* for their ignorant delinquency.

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

Israel has the world’s largest per capita nuclear stockpile, has never signed a non-proliferation treaty, has never been inspected by the IAEA — and their nukes are controlled by a man wanted for war crimes by the ICC. But sure, tell us more about “good guys” vs “bad guys”.

This pup deserves treats for life!!🦴💙🩵

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Why doesn’t Trump hire Americans?

BREAKING: Just reported on local news. The city of Lockhart, Texas has threatened to arrest any protesters displaying “No Kings” placards. This obviously is illegal and a violation of their First Amendment rights. Welcome to Texas, where the rule of law is for me, not for thee. Disgusting.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day.

Senator Padilla was thrown on the ground and handcuffed, all because he was exercising his duty as a senator. We need a full investigation into what the hell happened, and what's going to be done to see that this doesn't happen again to Senator Padilla or any American citizen.

BREAKING: Minnesota state politician shot dead, another injured after targeted shooting, Minnesota Gov. Walz says www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Mt Trashmore

Levin: I have to give a shoutout to MeidasTouch, because on April 5th, a lot of the corporate media, a lot of the legacy media, was not closely covering the single largest peaceful day of protest in years—but MeidasTouch was.

Let's all be the rain on this motherfucker's parade. #NoKings #NoKingsDay

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

This hits hard! An L.A. protest in the 1930s, pushing back against illegal immigration raids. During the Great Depression, thousands of Mexican immigrants and their U.S.-born kids were deported. Racism and economic fear drove it then, just like now.

Thames Water is now controlled by two US credit powerhouses: Silver Point Capital and Elliott Management. Their game - asset stripping, profiteering, slick PR, devour; to get high returns. Govt can put an end by bringing water into public ownership, but refuses. People's misery to deepen.

Trumpism proceeds by the successive breaking of taboos. Each time a new one is broken, the previous one is normalized, made to look not so bad by comparison. The cuffing of Padilla was a red-line moment. https://trib.al/soZ0D2H

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

House Dems are demanding that Noem testify before Congress after Sen. Padilla was detained by federal agents at her DHS press conference in LA.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

ICYMI — “LIE!!” Dems heckled Speaker Johnson as he tried to put all the blame on Senator Padilla

History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

I am ashamed of this country. We are supposed to be a melting pot of cultures. Celebrating eachother and our differences. I am sick to my stomach.

There are some days when the news can be overwhelming and leave you feeling sad and afraid. Today is one of them. Try to remember that the good in the world has always outnumbered the bad, stroke a cat and enjoy the sunshine x (Pic @imageplotter.bsky.social)
