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

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Good morning BLUESKY 💙 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 www.veteranscrisisline.net

We need to start organizing to get people registered to vote and have transportation available for people who need it to get to polling places. Just think how many more voters we could gain in a year. And make sure that we vote in every possible election. Especially if you have an open primary.

Bernie, you rascal! You’re spot on here.

Pam Bondi wraps up her press conference by accusing Abrego Garcia of being a child-groomer human trafficker and gang member and the walks away

🚨BREAKING: Mississippi is asking the Supreme Court to uphold its mail-in ballot grace period. Mississippi is fighting back against a challenge from the RNC to strike down the law. Depending on how SCOTUS rules, it could change how over a dozen states conduct elections. Paige and I discuss.

West Virginia is warning that women who have a miscarriage could be charged with a crime unless they contact local police. Every woman in WV should call 911 every time they have a period. Gum up the system with malicious compliance. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/h...

MIKE JOHNSON: From the people who mandated mask wearing for years, it's absurd. They need to back off ICE & respect our agents Q: So you're ok w/agents not identifying themselves when they're arresting migrants? J: Why, so they can target them? So they can put names and faces online and dox them?

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

This administration will twist facts...dodge questions...and smear reputations....anything to avoid saying the one honest thing about Kilmar Abrego Garcia: “We were wrong.” The arrogance is staggering...and the damage they’re doing to justice is unforgivable.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back in U.S. custody after being illegally deported and will now face federal human trafficking charges in Tennessee.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is working to arrange a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at this month’s Group of Seven summit in Canada, Zelenskyy’s Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak said.

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Not every situation is going to match this so use discretion as needed. Use the systems for malicious compliance whenever possible to disrupt their abuse.

Are we great yet?

A nuclear reactor near Miami is threatening the drinking water of 3 million people

"I didn't know he would do this." Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad. Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.

I feel safer already.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

As a child, Shamsa Sharawe was brutally cut. As an adult, she underwent hours of reconstruction surgery. As a mother, she vowed to protect her daughter from female genital cutting. And now as a social media influencer, she is persuading others to do the same. trib.al/z8NU9U3

Here is my breakdown on the major voting rights lawsuits to keep an eye on in court this week. youtu.be/1nJxzdCUcwU

The new top voting lawyer at the Department of Justice was until recently an attorney and activist for a leading anti-voting legal group that has worked for years to spread fear about illegal voting and press election officials to tighten voting rules. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

your regular reminder that authoritarian populism will make your country corrupt and poor. look at Hungary

Let's shine a gigantic spotlight on this asshole. He shouldn't be able to step out in public without being recognized and castigated. Evil thrives in the shadows. We MUST drag the entire rat warren into the sun and expose them for all to see.

End of our democracy🗽🇺🇸⚖️💙🩷🍀

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

Taylor Swift announced on Friday that she had bought back the rights to her first six albums. Swift said that her record-breaking Eras Tour helped make her acquisition of the masters. She did not disclose the price. nyti.ms/3FgfXzZ

Gosh, those were the days. My wife says she's blowing cigarette smoke in Perry Mason's face.

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

Phang: If you see claims that those convictions have been overturned on appeal — it’s bullshit. They have not been overturned on appeal. I have no idea—strike that—I have every idea where that comes from. It comes from stupid, far-right people who don’t know how to read and don’t know the law.

Deranged chaos agent anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. just instructed HHS to cancel over $700M in funding with Moderna to help develop a vaccine for various flu strains that would trigger future pandemics including the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus. This would be called murder.
