DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

I remember the good old days when Secretaries of Defense didn’t insert themselves unsolicited into domestic politics on a daily basis. Not what the job is supposed to be about.

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

Oh, honey . . . You can’t even get your wife back.

Here we go. He was just waiting for the chance.

The importance of ther tear gas defuser

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It is difficult to overstate how much I loathe such selfish dumbasses:

In a world of Stephen Millers, be *anyone* else.

I want an alternative to Twitter to survive and thrive I think it’s important for BS to grow as a way to offset or diminish the cultural and political impact that Twitter has. This is why I care.

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Here’s what we know about Russell Vought: He’s stepping in for Elon Musk to run DOGE, the faux-agency slashing the federal gov. A self-described Christian nationalist, Vought was one of the key architects behind Project 2025. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Oh, Canada.

FUCK ICE, with the intensity of one billion suns.

Here's the Washington Examiner piece that first quoted Stephen Miller ordering ICE to invade Home Deport a few weeks ago. This makes it clear that Miller himself ordered the escalation that has led to conflict in LA. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

Fact......

What country is this?

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Remember US Lieutenant Calley at the My Lai massacre? Remember the Nuremberg Trials? Do NOT obey illegal orders.

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

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

we can either earn martial law or it can be slowly implemented in the background but the result will be the same Peace has been off the table since January 6th. People reiterated over and over the dangers of allowing an insurrectionist to run and we did it anyway

Can you imagine the tea party reaction if Obama had federalized the Texas national guard for domestic law enforcement? Not one of those fucking cowards will speak out against this.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

"Uhh, just one more thing, Mr. President: If you knew he was a Ketamine addict why did you put him in charge of restructuring the United States Government?"

Listen, all I’m saying is that we’ve seen more pictures of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein together than we have of Donald Trump and his son Barron.

What’s ridiculous about this is how immature it is. The world‘s richest man and the world‘s most powerful man have no admirable qualities, they are immature, petty, rude, disrespectful, and unkind. This is not a person to look to as a prototype of anything but cruelty.

Kill the Crypto Bill too

- mexican man arrested for writing letters for threatening trump - letters were actually written by a wisconsin man whom the mexican guy was going to testify against for robbing him & slashing him with a box cutter - mexican guy still detained & facing deportation

Trump is such a pussy.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

It's been such a shitty week that last night I ate salad in front of my plants just to show I can dominate something.

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.

The biggest scandal in political history is a twice impeached, racist, rapist, a convicted felon is once again “President”. #SheShed

We've said it before. We'll say it again. Decriminalise abortion. Police checking period-tracking apps is Black Mirror-esque. Rather than compounding tragedy with fear, surveillance, and prosecution, the law should treat abortion for what it is: a healthcare matter. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...
