Help me understand: what does it mean Coinbase sponsored the military parade? Are they footing the $ 45 million bill? : )

On the latest @mollyjongfast.bsky.social Fast Politics podcast Molly says, “Trump believes ICE is his Gestapo. It is not”. I don’t think this is anything worth writing home about. The real issue is that ICE believes there should be a Trump Gestapo, and that it actually IS their job.

Andy Young, a civil rights giant and mentor of mine, told me this story which often comes to mind when I reflect on this moment. It's the people that create the context for change through peaceful protest. Don't let anyone tell you your voice doesn't matter.

Okay this is absolutely horrifying - this young man posted a statement against everything going on with ICE, and now they’re threatening him with a psych hold

While I remain horrified at the cruelty of this administration & the ignorance of those who support them, I am bolstered to see how many people showed up here in SF and all around the country to say No and show their support for democracy. “We must all stand up…”

A Republican found a magic lamp and rubbed it. The genie said, "I will grant you one wish." The Republican said, "I wish I were smarter.” So the genie made him a Democrat.

Thank to all the @dailybeanspod.com listeners who reserved trump parade tickets but went to #NoKings protests instead. It’s because of people like us that they expected 200K but got fewer than 10K - generating images like this.

To mobilize the National Guard, Trump cited 10 U.S.C. 12406, which authorizes the president to do so when the U.S. faces foreign invasion or rebellion or when he cannot otherwise execute the laws. This is NOT such an occasion. So today’s coup is manifestly illegal and must be stopped judicially.

Kent State, where unarmed student protesters were gunned down by National Guard troops, offers stark warning. The federal deployment of military personnel now risks causing the same escalation, tragic error and lasting damage to what’s left of our democracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/o...
