#Truth #Timely #TrumpisaDictator

My JFC emoji is way too small.

Keep protesting. Keep going, everyone.

Australian reporter Lauren Tomasi was shot in the leg with a rubber bullet by an officer in Los Angeles:

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

Tin soldiers and TACO coming, We're finally on our own. This summer I hear the drumming.

So very not transparent with our money

Justice for all

Maddow: Donald Trump is a weak president with no ideas and no skills to turn around his declining popularity, so he has skipped to the last resort.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

What's with shooting members of the press?

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Taking potshots at the freedom of the press in the midst of going after the right of the people peaceably to assemble.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

seems like a military response in search of a riot

Will defer to lawyers, but deploying active duty Marines to suppress domestic dissent is almost certainly a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act and illegal. It's very possible this would represent an unlawful order that military leaders would not be bound to follow.

“States’ rights” apparently don’t apply when Trump wants control.

This is an ominous step toward martial law. The time for mobilizing peacefully but massively against this dangerous progression is NOW. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

Don’t look to these extremist justices to save us.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

I wrote about the contrived, retconned allegations against Abrego Garcia in April. There is absolutely no reason to think that the government is charging him based on anything other than the administration trying to save face. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

headline construction masterclass

Morons Are Governing America

Who wore cognitive dissonance/complete detachment from their populous' suffering better?
