My relatives keep asking me how we're doing in the riots. I say, you mean the police riots? Cuz no one else is rioting.

No notes.

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California is not about the protests. It is about expanding his never-ending grasp for more power. It is about moving this country toward authoritarianism. All Americans must stand together against this gross abuse of power.

Where are all the gun-worshippers who’ve been telling us for years that we can’t regulate assault rifles because they might be needed to resist an authoritarian government? Now’s your moment, fellas. Where are you? *cricket sounds*

Footage of these ICE thugs terrorizing LA neighborhoods is insane. We really have crossed a line. America is a police state. And the GOP celebrates it.

Excellent Question! Answer: It Was Always A Lie!

Every union member in the country should be standing up to these jackboots. The Teamsters should bring it all to a halt in a hurry.

If Ehud Olmert - nobody's idea of a leftist, and certainly not an antisemite - can come to this conclusion at this moment in history, based on new evidence coming to light, then American Jewish organizations really have no excuse to continue to defend the prosecution of this war.

Do not underestimate the POWER OF EVIL.

News item: Haribo is recalling some fizzy soda bottle candies in The Netherlands because cannabis was found in some. Seems to me like an opportunity to up-sell.

“We” are zip tying children ! This shit has got to stop .

NEW: Get all caught up on Abrego Garcia, the men disappeared to South Sudan, and other DoJ news from the week. Free to listen and subscribe! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

People who believe in freedom don’t tell others where they can and cannot exist.

Unpopular opinion: Renewable energy is nothing but a tiny bandaid on the hemorrhage that is modern society that exists to convert life into “products” for “consumption.” The demand for ever-expanding energy sources will never end.

Russia still has the opportunity to surrender and withdraw fully from Ukraine, peace is in their hands if they want it.

Trump has admitted he has been protecting Putin.

"Some National Weather Service offices, including Jackson, no longer have overnight staff from midnight to 7AM. All three Kentucky offices - Jackson, Paducah and Louisville - are short-staffed. There is no meteorologist in charge at any of the three offices..." www.kentucky.com/news/state/k...

4 new words added to the script. I want my lawyer. Every day is shut the fuck up Friday

Oppose I.C.E. abusing their power. They are the front line of this fascist regime. Do not allow your community to be terrorized. Help the human beings they are preying upon. Demand adherence to the Law. Expose cosplaying thugs. Record and post everything. Stand together.

DeLAURO: Are you planning to break the law by impounding appropriated funds? RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?

Excellent NYT graphic. In the space of about 3 months, tariffs on China: -- doubled; -- went up ≈ 2.5X from there; -- roughly doubled again; -- went up ≈ 40% from there; -- and now have dropped ≈ 80% from the peak -- but are still 3X what they were in February. www.nytimes.com/article/trum...

ART OF THE FOLD........

Pam Bondi lobbied for Qatar & a private prison company, got paid $115K/month, then failed to disclose it during her AG confirmation. Now she’s gutted foreign lobbying enforcement under FARA and signed off on $400m planes. The corruption isn’t even subtle anymore.

The problem with for-profit healthcare and insurance, all in one simple post.

So many layers of corruption.

DOGE was never about "efficiency."

Once again, this is illegal.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

How long will it take for Trump to take credit for the selection of the first-ever American pope?

Today is day 50 since Andry disappeared, & we have no proof of life since the horrific photos taken as he arrived at CECOT. @immdef.bsky.social is so grateful to @lastweektonight.com for featuring his plight on tonight’s episode. We’re still fighting for his return, we’re holding on to hope 👑
