The dishonesty of right wing podcaster trolls like Ted Cruz is to be expected. Nevertheless, keep it calm. Hit ICE with words. Call them cowards, gestapo, fascists...whatever. But don't throw shit.

"They'll stop at abortion," the conservative pundits claimed. "They won't come after same-sex marriage."

June 14th...NO KINGS! Let's make it a day of joyous resistance. Let's completely ignore that embarrassment going on in DC that day. It's our day...NO KINGS DAY!!!

The overreaction here is amazing. What's happening in LA is a series of protests, with some bad actors on both side causing problems. Rioting? Ha! I grew up in LA and lived miles from the epicenter of the Watts riots, and remember the rioting after Rodney King. J6 was rioting. This stuff? No.

Those "riots" in LA? It was a protest that got a bit out of hand, briefly. Some idiots threw shit they shouldn't have thrown (eggs, people, even though they're expensive). I know riots, and that wasn't one. But ... 1/2

Are we watching the death spiral of college athletics?

Bad, bad, bad...

Fucking Kristi Noem and Homeland Security are running ads on LA television saying that under Trump, LA will be protected. They're attacking LA and using taxpayer money to fund TV ads promoting their criminal mastermind, Donald Trump.

This Kid > Chuck Schumer

Homan can cosplay with the best of them.

Short answer: No. Long answer: No.

Federal government-sponsored terrorism.

The key to America's manufacturing renaissance: drones. 😂🤡

Income is up? Just saw the memo from my former employer that the raise pool for 2026 will be ZERO. Prices are down? The car I bought last year now costs $5,000 more. The TV I bought last year? $70 more. All of the imported fruits and vegetables I bought yesterday cost more than last month. Lies.
