Today: Tanks are being moved en masse into DC. Trump is deploying a state national guard over a governor’s objection to police protests. Trump threatened a major donor with “severe consequences” if they support his political opponents. If you’re still wondering what time it is, read this again

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

I hate that I can see this shit ahead of time. I really do.

Really worried about what happens in LA tonight. The cynic in me thinks that they wait until prime time to incite a riot.

Can’t shake the thought that having all this matériel in DC and provoking anti-ICE riots in LA, Chicago, and gods-know-where would make a handy little setup for declaring martial law. Meh, it’s probably nothing. 😬

With the Supreme Court now handing DOGE access to Social Security data, it’s becoming undeniable, the Trump administration is building the “deep state” themselves. Don’t get distracted by the noise.

I told everyone in my life that this was coming. Maybe 2 or 3 people took it seriously. Really hard not to be bitter about that, but I'm trying.

We truly live in the upside down

Across the U.S. we are seeing a stepping up of immigrant purges. This is presumably DHS's response to Stephen Miller's insistence on more. It's higher-visibility. It's more aggressive. And it's likely to spark clashes with civilians. Easy to imagine bloody scenes of horror this hell summer.

This has been public knowledge for years. It took an Elon breakdown for the Dems to figure out how to do politics. Yay? Better late than never, I guess.

This is the way.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Twitter: this is how men with huge balls fight. This is what masculinity looks like Bluesky: this is the first messy breakup of pride month

Nobody ever thinks the leopard will eat their face.

Wifey surprised me! Switch 2 baby!

Whew. What a read. Just fantastic work here by @mollymckew.bsky.social

The world's least cohesive game gets even weirder. Gotta love Hello Games.

If Democrats are unable to prevent Donald Trump from destroying the economy, I will have no choice but to vote for JD Vance in 2028.

this is perfect

👏👏👏

This country is totally ok and not spiraling at all.

Republicans "WE HAVE TO BEAT CHINA!" Also Republicans:

Doctors at the CDC say children should receive Covid vaccines. A disgraced ex-environmental lawyer who spent 20 years abusing heroin says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Weird decision to show up to court in the rapiest outfit possible.

#indiegamedev

The recent MAHA Commission called kids in America "the sickest generation in American history in terms of chronic disease" It failed to mention the HUGE progress we have made in childhood mortality over the past 50 years Deaths for every age group of kids down 50-75% Here's CDC's Data

Which news outlet is actually informing its readers about what happened?

I honestly thought I had seen all of the worst takes the internet had to offer. Humbled again. @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

But her emails

I think many people have a vague sense that Trump is racist, but they don't fully realize just how much the up and coming Republican staffer class is marinating in actual neo-Nazi propaganda online, because the media underreports this story. And it is only going to get worse in the coming years.

Perfect. IMO it shouldn't be hard for elected Dems to just say this.

If you're not willing to work across ideological coalitions to create a robust pro-democracy and pro-constitutional movement, you are on the wrong side of history.

Ummmm. Ok. 😂

I think an eagle took a 💩 on my van. Jesus 😳. FYI there's no tree or power line above. And it was perfect yesterday.

Are we allowed to call it a scam yet?

this fkn guy 😂
