GCP go boom?

Food prices gonna be like ....

Breaking @propublica.org: Bukele of El Salvador has become one of Trump’s favorite authoritarians, and Trump touts him as a foe of MS-13. But a US investigation has found evidence he has colluded with the gang, even paying it for votes. www.propublica.org/article/buke...

worse: he used to be the leader of the American Identity Movement

LAPD appears to have kettled protesters around 7:45pm to prevent them from leaving, waited for the 8pm curfew to kick in and then mass-arrested them for curfew violations.

Balance sheet or gtfo. Also this is still a *tax on Americans* and doubt it will do nearly enough to incentivize US manufacturing.

The problem of AI chatbots telling people what they want to hear https://www.ft.com/content/72aa8c32-1fb5-49b7-842c-0a8e4766ac84

Via Dropsite News: Israel just allegedly got completely pwned by the Iranians. They supposedly leaked everything, mossad files, nuclear secrets, details on bribes, Netanyahu's personal files. If this is true, this is a historical failure of Israeli intelligence of epic proportions.

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

Wait what? This is in response to a question about a character in a book mixing raw egg into meat before making patties. Something I know you *could* do but have never experienced myself in a restaurant, recipe, etc. So … wait what? Am I insane?

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

It’s about an insurrection by enemies of the state JD. You’ll hate it.

Get ready for every right wing talking point to get its own series of articles, all filled with analysis from Chris Rufo and reaction quotes from “ordinary New Yorkers” who just coincidentally happen to be officials in the local Republican Party.

“And hundreds of FBI agents, including from counterterrorism offices.” That seems ‘not good’?

What’s going on wrt Iran?

You do not have to say “pro vaccine groups.” You can say the vast majority of doctors and scientists and the American Medical Association.

News updates from a taco business.

Is he an improvement of 47? Yes (vastly, but the bar is so low) Is he the POTUS I want? No Will I vote for him in a primary? No Is he the POTUS I would vote for in the general election if the other option was another GoP turd? Yes

It was only a matter of time.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

I went through all the protest bills in Congress this session. Most are brought by GOP & increase penalties for protest - save one named for a Jan 6 rioter that bars detention for political protesters. Only 2 Democratic bills protect protesters - both from Ilhan Omar theintercept.com/2025/06/11/p...

Seventy-five Democrats voted in support of a resolution that praises the deportation regime. This is not an opposition.

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

Hmm maybe I should get a street vendor permit and cook some street foods.

Reposting this:

Everyone should look on the bright side: We have no idea if Trump will send Seal Team Six after Gov. Newsom. But at least we know that, if Trump did it, he’d be immune from criminal prosecution for doing it.

A tank got stuck yesterday in DC so....

Why are we celebrating traitors that fired upon US soldiers in a bid to keep people enslaved?
