It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

LA PROTESTERS: How to annoy ICE, cops, Guardsmen & Marines “patrolling” the streets? Blast “IN THE NAVY”, follow & dance party around them with BIG Pride flags, glitter bomb them & shout “Happy Pride Month”. Believe me, the ridicule they’ll get will make them LOATHE being in LA. #NotJoking

Quick note to everyone pretending that Zohran Mamdani somehow favors communism, here’s the Republican president literally saying on camera that he wishes America were more like Communist China.

Let's be clear that this will be deployed not just against immigrants, but against anyone seen as providing support to immigrants. Illegal support at first, but the definition will inevitably expand to include indirect support, mutual aid, and eventually even rhetorical support.

Trump believes in American Non-Exceptionalism. His claim that America is as amoral as authoritarian regimes has long been false. But he longs to make it true.

In light of stripping Harvey Milk's name from a Navy ship, on this anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, & in the sad aftermath of the assassinations of Melissa Hortman, her husband, & her dog, I need to observe that Milk and Mayor Moscone were also assassinated by a white male conservative.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

Allegations like these exemplify exactly what's wrong with America's immigration policy under Donald Trump. People lack critical medical care, response times are too slow, and migrants experience horrific conditions in facilities. It cannot continue. www.wired.com/story/ice-de...

The last few days have truly been a low point for the American news media. And it’s all because journalists in this country—and their corporate masters—lack the courage to say what they all know and say endlessly in private: That Trump is stupid, and nuts.
