Just for shits and giggles, LA news helicopters, do a wide shot and show how big LA is and how small the protest area is… dare you. @ktla.com

Fight the Empire.

Every accusation is a confession.

The tech companies have massively overhyped the capabilities of AI and massively downplayed the dangers. And the UK government has fallen for it, hook, line and sinker.

George III’s power was limited by a constitution, established laws and conventions and in actuality, Parliament held significant power, controlling the budget & having the right to pass laws, which the King could not unilaterally override. So… congratulations, America. You’ve out-kinged yourself!

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

F**k

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Precisely. Farage and Tice are rich ex-public schoolboys. They know exactly what they are doing making you blame the wrong people for your woes. If you fall for their con, they laugh at you.

She was right.

@repmaxinewaters.bsky.social pleads with National Guard to not use their guns, yesterday.

The official DHS account makes a post that suggests they want to disappear the Menswear Guy, whose posts are so magisterial that they regularly eviscerate powerful politicians, because he told his story of his mother carrying him into the USA from Canada when he was a baby. Ghoulishly giddy stuff.

"Speaker Johnson – what a joke he is. Completely missing in action. He's got to clean up his own mess. He's got one of the most dangerous districts in America. Six times, I think, the murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's district." Gov. Gavin Newsom

this is genuinely insane. we’re going to need to jail people involved with this administration

Exactly.

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

👏👏👏

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

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.

"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?
