The dictator of one of the United States' enemies is using the President of the United States to announce military attacks on a United States ally.

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg GRANTS class certification for the people held at CECOT and gives the government ONE WEEK to explain how they're going to facilitate due process for EVERYONE sent there under the Alien Enemies Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

You Don't Get to Play Victim Now... You don't get to cry terror when you're the ones who have institutionalised terror. You don't get to moralise about violence when you send Hellfire missiles against tents. 👤 Shahid Bolsen

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Brilliant——absolute legends 😎🇮🇪

Last night, Hillsborough County Public Schools held its first school board meeting since letters from state officials ordered books off shelves. Two parents made particularly poignant statements that must be heard. You can watch the whole meeting here: www.hillsboroughschools.org/Page/6365

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

Murray: Those funds were appropriated by congress and your department was to allocate them and it looks like the department is illegally impounding funding…

"Harriet Tubman, along with Black soldiers, took part in a daring Union raid of Combahee Ferry near Beaufort, South Carolina. She became the first American woman to lead a major military operation when she and at least 150 Black soldiers helped to rescue more than 700 Black Americans..."

Trump bragged about spending $1B bombing Houthis while getting Reaper drones shot down and losing two fighter jets to the bottom of the Red Sea while accomplishing nothing and leaking it in Signal, while “you don’t have the cards” Zelensky wipes out 40 bombers deep inside Russia.

This week, my niece comes to mind my kids and I reminisce about the many deprivations of my own babysitterless youth. On chores, child endangerment, and chainsaws. observer.co.uk/style/featur...

Spare us the fake outrage.

Ukraine could’ve launched the attack on civilian population centers, like Russia does to them daily. Instead, they chose a strictly military target - the very bombers being used to kill Ukrainian civilians. A brilliant operation solely designed to defend their own people.

i did not make this but lmao

It’s baffling that Trump can justify tariffs against Mexico by citing the cartels while simultaneously cutting a deal with Sinaloa allowing 17 cartel family members safe harbor in the United States.

We’re speeding towards the moment when one of these ICE kidnappings ends in bloodshed.

"The Trump administration deported a 31-year-old Salvadoran man minutes after a federal appeals court barred his removal while his case proceeded, the government admitted in a court filing this week." This will continue until courts arrest Trump officials for contempt www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

The entire point.

Contempt charges, come on

Joni Ernst, at her town hall last night. When the crowd said people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, she said: "well we all are going to die." 🫠🫠🫠🫠

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Stunning new musician, Aaron Rowe, doing Ireland proud. Just brilliant ✨❤️🇮🇪✨

LEFTIST: Dude, you need to grow up and get a hobby. Start treating women like people and find a useful role in society. RIGHT WING INFLUENCER: You’re a pussy. You’re a beta cuck. You’re poor because of the soy in your blood. Suck my dick, simp. YOUNG MAN: the liberals have left me no choice

Said it before, I’ll say it again. We shouldn’t privatize NASA. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/s...

Look, I know that The Testaments is in the works at Hulu, but I want to talk about the ending of The Handmaid's Tale show vs the novel. When I first read the book, the epilogue blew my mind & is such a pivotal part of the story—I was reallllllly hoping the show would find a way to include it.

Israel is trying to replace the humanitarian organizations that bring aid into Gaza. It has long claimed, without providing evidence, that Hamas disrupts supply networks to profit from aid.

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Have you guys noticed that Trump still hasn’t even mentioned the storms in Kentucky that killed at least 30 people? Republicans are pretty quiet about the lack of response too. Outrage under Biden, silence now that he’s president. That’s how you know he never really cared.

NEW: In a late filing, an ICE official answers only some of Judge Murphy's questions about how "N.M.," a Burmese citizen, came to be designated for deportation to South Sudan—and then suddenly redesignated for deportation to Burma as soon as he had a lawyer. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I hope legacy media covers the connection between last night's memecoin dinner and this morning's social media tariff threats. He's manipulating the stock market.
