Gulag Barbie had no choice but to sick her goons on a U.S. senator /snark www.politicususa.com/p/homeland-s...

She puts Baghdad Bob to shame.

Brownshirt legislators line up to do Dear Leader's bidding: #immigration www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/u...

But the question is: when ordered to fire, will they refuse? #Tyranny www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"Harvard’s own complaint and legal filings perpetuate a pernicious fiction: that protests against Israel’s actions in Gaza stem from prejudice against Jewish students rather than moral opposition to the systematic destruction of Palestinian life." #Harvard www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hegseth is a braying ass. The research to which he refers is intended “to develop revolutionary new treatment approaches for spinal cord injuries that integrate injury stabilization, regenerative therapy, and functional restoration.” #Idiocracy #kakistocracy www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

Spineless cowards and hypocrites

Trump says anybody who protests the military parade on Sunday will be met with “very heavy force”

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

I mean, a 91% majority is about as bipartisan a result as you can hope to get, innit?

If Tr*mp succeeds in overthrowing militarily our constitutional democratic republic, this will have been the week when he launched the coup. #StopTheCoup #Tyranny open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Correction: Portland was the dress rehearsal. This is an overture for the big opera. #tyrant #StopTheCoup www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

This he will do, presumably, without legal justification. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Well duh www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/u...

This is the cycle: raid, escalate, criminalize the response, send in troops. ICE raids are not neutral, they’re psychological warfare on communities, and now they’re using military backup. This isn’t enforcement. It’s state-sponsored intimidation.

But state’s rights But state’s rights But state’s rights But state’s rights But state’s rights

Can Tr*mp seize control of the National Guard and deploy it against the citizenry? If no one stops him, sure! So: who will stop him? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Can it be that Tr*mp has already alienated the crown-and-altar integrations?

Die Fahne hoch, die Reihen sind geschlossen.

Also worth noting: Gor would appear the person in charge of sacking presidential appointees, including a considerable number of agency heads who are not in fact presidential appointees, most notably among them the Librarian of Congress.

In other words: this a battle over the power to replace professionals with hacks. My hunch is that the Russ Vought / Heritage Foundation wing of the movement will prevail over the broligarchs. With what consequences is anyone's guess. #muskvtrump

It appears the peace treaty hasn’t been negotiated yet.

So Musk got played by the hyperloyalist director of the Presidential Personnel Office, Sergio Gor. Smells like a power struggle over who will re-populate the federal bureaucracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

In an act of integrity and resistance, a supervisor in the Nashville federal prosecutor’s office resigned over how the Abrego Garcia case was being handled. The charges are bogus, pure political theater meant to justify a wrongful abduction.
