John Roberts will always be known as the co-conspirator in the destruction of our democracy! www.alternet.org/amp/john-rob...

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

LETS. DO. THIS. 😎✨

Today's Mic Drop

The more they overreach and strike at us with an iron fist of fascism, the bigger the tsunami will be to wash them away.

Apparently, California will be the national flashpoint. Probably because it's the wealthiest state, and the most vocally anti-TACO. For those committed to peaceful protest, PLEASE practice de-escalation techniques, like this one. Film EVERYTHING. Share this widely with your groups, and be careful!!

If you are arrested during a protest or action against ICE or CPD in Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. (This is an offer for criminal defense; I unfortunately don't do immigration law.)

Israel’s former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has denounced the war his successor, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been waging in Gaza. In a piece for Haaretz, Olmert referred to the current government as a “criminal gang” led by Netanyahu. As a proud American Jew, I agree. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

When wealth gaps explode, the ruling class always underestimates how close people are to revolt. Add in their open loyalty to genocide, white supremacy & empire—and it’s clear they’ve learned nothing. Universal law still stands: ALL. EMPIRES. FALL.

It’s provocation. LA didn’t ask for the National Guard. We don’t need it, and won’t be safer because of it. Stay home, everyone.

😕

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

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

People wear the static electric second skin of darkness. Down in those ditches where only Iggy Pop can lift you back out again. Digging for Jesus or Hitler or Osama Bin Laden down there where it still hurts. Under the red carpet, where the ground is still concrete. Where you can still bleed.

Fuck everyone who stayed home and couldn’t vote for the well-qualified black woman. This is on you. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

happy pride month!

Many Border Patrol vehicles and other unmarked cars just exited the anti-ICE protest area in Paramount, California. They were met with fierce resistance from protesters, with a number of vehicles being visibly damaged.

HEAT ADVISORY in Washington State. People in other parts of the country must laugh at us....

They run health care LIKE A BUSINESS. This is an ABOMINATION! Short-staffed. Nurses and Doctors are dangerously overworked. Patients are pushed out the door as quickly as possible. Shareholders see patients as but a source of revenue. It is morally wrong, is it not?

Footage from Minneapolis and LA resisting ICE should remind us; there aren’t enough pigs on the planet to put down a working class uprising.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.
