It can happen here. It is happening here.

this is good

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

True story bro.

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn

Horrible

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

ICE crossed a line in LA

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

Meanwhile, at the White House…

Read? The Gazpacho Police and Peachtree Dish lady?

It wouldn’t be hard to protect Medicaid and funding to rural hospitals and still reduce our nation’s ballooning debt and deficit. The Rs would just have to make the wealthy and corporations pay slightly more in taxes. (PS Rs are never serious about the debt and deficit when they are in power).

I think a lot of of those folks dressing up like ICE are not even cops much less federal agents. The way they carry themselves. The way they are dressed. Something is off.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

🏳️‍🌈HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!!❤️ LOVE IS LOVE.💙

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

📌The Cabinet of the United States of America is a collection of the worst, most incompetent morons in history, and we are supposed to just suffer through it as if it was just another cloudy day.

Our team of CDC'ers and public health supporters, thought this moment was notable, too! We are proud to have you, @drtomfrieden.bsky.social, with us in the fight for public health and CDC. #CDCsaveslives #saveCDC

@warren.senate.gov: "They're fighting over how many children should go hungry so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island."

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Phang: And you’ve got to appreciate that the congresswoman was able to say, “Look, this ain’t Fox News, buddy. This is Congress.” So if you’re going to be here and you’re going to try to make an allegation somewhere publicly, you better be able to back it up.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

“I will not yield to disrespectful men.” - Rep. @aoc.bsky.social

He’s got private golf resorts, personal jets, and towers with his name on them and yet he’s still begging oil despots for a luxury plane instead of helping people working two jobs who can’t make rent.

They were seashells. A picture of seashells.

Are we great again yet?

Sounds like Gabbard fired them for telling the truth. Not much “intelligence” going on here… www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Bruce Springsteen opened up his new tour by roasting Trump, saying the US is “currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.” “Rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring.” Read: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/todays-gre...

Trump Surrenders Again.

👇🏽

Wait, I’m just catching up. The Press Secretary thinks the Library of Congress lends books out to children?

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

It was never about immigration reform. It was always about white supremacy. If you still don’t see it you’re either in major denial, or complicit. This is fascism. Support my human rights advocacy here: www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

Kind of seems like this should be the minimum, and there shouldn't be anything controversial about any of these.

This is Trump’s America on this Mother’s Day. This is the GOP’s lawless, merciless shock-and-awe campaign against not just illegal immigrants, not just undocumented people, not just criminals, but against families, children, spouses, fathers, mothers. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-hell-wi...

Update: the WaPo lost a cartoonist with *three* Pulitzers rather than let her make fun of Jeff Bezos.

Despite promises of cuts from Trump and Elon, the U.S. spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than it did last year. We’re spending far more and getting far less. So where is all the money going?

Raskin: The lowest 100 day approval rating since polling began. He controlled the agenda. He controlled the House, the Senate— he’s got everything going for him and his numbers are in the gutter

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

There it is, in a nutshell.
