The Villages, Florida today: https://youtu.be/Ju2lJhgGKFQ

Amazing… it just keeps going…

One person was shot at the protest in Salt Lake City and is currently in critical condition. One individual is in custody. Please keep the victim in your prayers.

The right wing claims that: 1. Both Trump assassination attempts were done by the left 2. The Minnesota assassin is a member of the left On both LIES we must push back HARD. Because the TRUTH IS: 1. Both Trump assassins were Trump voters 2. The Minnesota assassin is a right wing extremist

Newsom’s social media team is killing it. (This isn’t an old picture. It’s from right now. I asked.) 😂😂😂😂

Cannot stress enough that the protest in DTLA was completely nonviolent until the local police departments showed up Been in contact with multiple indies currently on the ground who confirmed this. Cops pushed, then started firing riot munitions indiscriminately

Literally the Russian flag in the post. Two of them

Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.

The fairytale romance continues …

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Posted for an audience of one fragile ego.

This is so great!! Rural America is fighting the fight to save our Democracy. Thank you!💙

It is an absolutely incredible stretch to see in person

They're exactly the Nazis you think they are. Trump, Musk, Miller, Vought—the whole lot. Their game is to gaslight you into feeling shame and doubt over your accurate, wholly evidence-based assessment that they're Nazis. Trust yourself. You have it right.

it's Saturday, and it's time for "this week in stupid: June 14 edition" — Kayleigh explains it, ICE goons detain it, and so much more... thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

We’re proud to announce, today’s turnout has already surpassed the Hands Off protest! Over 5.5m people and counting across the U.S. Get out there, be seen, and be counted. This is history in the making. Take plenty of photos and videos and post them publicly. Let the world see what’s happening.

Melissa Hortman was a Democrat. Murdered for being a Democrat. Every headline should say so. This was political terrorism.

Trump on Oct 1, 2024, saying that we are on the brink of WWIII and a “global catastrophe” because Iran just launched missiles at Israel, which never would’ve happened if he was president.

We’re at war with Iran, Trump’s gone into hiding, nobody will tell us our objectives, plan or end game, our Sec of Defense is a useless dipshit, our Sec of State lied about it, our DNI loves the leader of Iran’s greatest ally, & tomorrow we’re having a parade for Trump’s bday.

Tomorrow is Global Obama Appreciation Day! June 14, 2025 #ObamaAppreciationDay PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE!

This is hilarious.

I remember the old days like 6 months ago when MAGA accused Democrats of being warmongers for wanting to provide aid to Ukraine, claiming that the real motive for it was to use them to fight a proxy war against another country for US interests. I guess proxy wars are ok now.

Israel is a rogue nation in the midst of committing genocide in Gaza. They were teed up for the bloody war they've almost certainly now dragged us into by Trump unilaterally withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal when it was working just fine during his first administration. All this was avoidable.

The foreign policy knowledge of anyone who claims this war is anything other than a Trump-Netanyahu joint couldn't *possibly* extend past the last 48 hours. Because if you've been following Trump since 2015, you knew *years* ago his actions would lead to a war in the Middle East.

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

This new war works out *so beautifully* for Trump and his family friend Netanyahu. This war will divide U.S. progressives, provide cover for domestic fascism as eyes turn elsewhere, and give Trump endless "commander-in-chief" earned media to blame Obama and Biden for a war he and Netanyahu plotted.

😕

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge issued a sweeping order blocking President Donald Trump’s unprecedented seizure of California’s National Guard, calling the move illegal and a “dangerous precedent. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

TACO Trump now wants to make sure his rich Republican friends have enough migrant labor for their corporations.

Lynch: "Deploying the military against a civilian population is wrong. And if we don't step up, this will continue. If we don't step up & declare what is right under our Constitution, then other cities, other citizens will meet this same fate..Trump is a wannabe gangster..I'm fighting today's Nazis"

Senator Alex Padilla of California was removed by force from Kristi Noem’s presser and handcuffed for his free speech. This is what a fascist regime does that rejects the laws of the US. It should horrify every American. Let’s stop pretending we are approaching authoritarian rule. We are there.

Everything is escalation now. Taking a step back is considered weakness. Consider that when thinking through strategy.

One aspect of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that isn't getting enough attention?  It would give ICE tens of billions in additional funding to conduct more violent raids and abductions across the country. A big, ugly, authoritarian nightmare.

Governor JB Pritzker said to Rep. Mary Miller: "I am not going to be lectured to by somebody who extols the virtue of Hitler." Finally, someone says it to their faces.

here's today's post: "we need to talk about this vampiric shitweasel" — what’s happening in LA is this fucker’s fault. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

The root cause of Trump's radical new ICE policy is very dumb Trump successfully brought border crossings to a halt. But this caused his deportation numbers to fall below Biden's. So ICE is terrorizing longtime US residents until Trump can say he's got the bigger number www.vox.com/politics/416...

Watching Republicans try not to talk about a US Senator being manhandled, pushed to the floor, subdued and then forced out of a press conference--after wanting to ask questions of a US government official, might be the most chilling moment of the last 5 months.
