Happy 1984 Day. Author George Orwell, published 8 June 1949.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

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.

American billionaires often pay just 0–3.4% in effective taxes, while in Scandinavia and Germany, the wealthiest pay 45–60%. Those countries use the revenue for healthcare, education, and childcare. Meanwhile, U.S. billionaires hoard wealth as millions struggle. This is injustice, not freedom. 💸🔥⚖️

While we were all enjoying the stupid "I know you are but what am I?" nincompoopery, what were we missing? msmagazine.com/2025/06/04/t... In one, fell swoop. I fuckin' hate this timeline.

Vote this awful human right out of office.

I lived in the city (proper) of Chicago for almost 40 years and it wasn't nearly as loud as the lawn and tree trimming brigade of the west side of Madison, WI. Jeebus, bad enough it's a freaking stroad riddled suburb pretending to be a city that lacks public transportation; the noise is awful.

CSPAN could go public and become the media play of the century if it started covering Congress like this. ht: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social

"Current U.S. stock value is over$50 trillion. Just a two percent tax on that amount would return $1 trillion. Each one of America’s 127.5 million households would earn nearly $8,000 per year." ~Author, P. Buchheit www.nationofchange.org/2025/06/02/p...

The Felon sees Canada as the woman he lusts for but can’t have. As a predator he both taunts her and threatens her. When he offers her “protection” it’s laughable because she only needs protection from his actions. No means no. The rapist needs to be in jail, not in power. I stand with Canada 🍁 🇨🇦

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

Excellent and important investigative reporting by @jasonaw.bsky.social and @awinston.bsky.social on the #DissidentRight and #NetworkState proponents who wet-dream about thousands of small #CompanyTowns replacing nation states. #FarRight #Techno-Feudalism www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"...this is where it starts, and this is also the one chance you get to stop it." John Oliver explains what this current administration is doing to undermine freedom of the press. youtu.be/07JQr5W3970?...

"Trump isn’t a president. He’s the head of a criminal syndicate, and he should be treated accordingly—now and, even more importantly, when he and his accomplices are finally out of power." newrepublic.com/post/195324/...

Norm! 😓❤️ Thank you for all the laughs, dear man.

UPDATED: topline talking points about the Republican tax scam bill. Please read & share!

A truth

Today is the anniversary of the Women's Suffrage Movement. Happy Suffrage (or reasonable facsimile thereof). youtu.be/K0SDECwO54E?...

We better pick up the pace of resistance.

After Shiloh Hendrix raised over $600K after sharing a racist rant, activist Kiandria Demone is working to stop the payout and hold platforms accountable for upholding white supremacy thegrio.com/2025/05/07/s...

Do ya hear that? That really awful grating sound? That's Rupert Murdoch laughing his ass off.
