Zelenskyy: "Trust me, we understand the Russians much better, the mentality of the Russians, than the Americans understand the Russians. I know for sure Putin doesn't want to stop the war."

Trump and his fascist Republicans create fake emergencies to hide the real emergency — their plot to steal our freedom.

BREAKING: GOP Senators had 8 constituents arrested today because they’re scared to face questions about their disastrous spending bill. That’s because they know they can’t defend it. It cuts medicaid & food stamps, & raises energy prices — all to give handouts to billionaires.

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.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

If you smell smoke, maybe it’s the Reichstag

NEW: Lawyers for Abrego Garcia have asked Judge Xinis to consider the CRIME-FRAUD EXCEPTION to the government's privilege assertions in discovery. Plus, NEWLY UNSEALED DOCUMENTS. I don't think contempt is off the table yet. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/newly-unse...

People in ICE detention are being denied health care and adequate nutrition, often given spoiled food or nothing at all. Our government’s cruelty to immigrants is a moral failing — not a policy solution.

Meiselas: As we wrote on the MeidasTouch account—Trump lit the match, poured the gasoline, and now wants to use the blaze he created as a pretext to burn it all down.

There are many ways to resist a corrupt regime. Protest. Strike. Boycott. Speak out. But there’s no louder message than withholding our money. from a corrupt system hijacked by Trump and his billionaire backers. When democracy returns, so will my tax payment.

The Trump–Musk breakup is a mob war between two egomaniacs who tore down democracy for profit. It’s a crime scene. Their mob coalition is crumbling, and the lieutenants will be scrambling to save themselves. As the grifters fall, let’s expose the wreckage and mobilize to replace them all.

The United States of Fascism Who would've thought 6 months ago we would become a shit hole country. Don't be a spectator #Resist

Note from a human rights lawyer to members of the U.S. military: If directed to execute illegal orders, remember, declaring “I was just following orders” was not a valid defense during the Nuremberg trials, & it won’t be here either. Your oath is to the US Constitution—not to a 34X convicted felon.

Video from about an hour ago as less than lethal rounds are being used against protesters in Southern California

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

A truly sad sight. Trump’s America. 🇺🇸

đź’Ą BREAKING: ICE tries to raid Home Depot located at 6400 Alondra Blvd. Paramount, CA Protesters are able to successfully stop them. 6/7/2025 @12 pm #ice #raids #losangeles

The situation in Los Angeles is about to plunge us into a national emergency, except the people that normally solve national emergencies are the ones creating it.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

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.

See the difference? đź‘€

Light these mother fuckers up Los Angeles. They should never have tried California.

Whoa. Hit nail on fucking head 🗣️ A wealthy guy says the quiet part out loud. In Defense of the Middle Class: Scott Galloway breaks down how the billionaire class is destroying America. @kurtsh.bsky.social @nyupress.bsky.social @morningjoe.bsky.social #TaxTheRich mastodon.social/@kurtsh/1146...

🚨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.

SEIU-USWW President David Huerta was injured and detained by federal agents in Los Angeles today while observing ICE activity. This is video of his arrest. Statement from SEIU in next post.

@governor.ca.gov is such a fucking HYPOCRITE who claims to give a flying fuck about @seiu.org workers, while reneging on our lousy 3% legally negotiated and contracted cost of living wage increase. Go fuck yourself asshole.

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg GRANTS class certification for the people held at CECOT and gives the government ONE WEEK to explain how they're going to facilitate due process for EVERYONE sent there under the Alien Enemies Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
