‼️‼️

so far this week: DHS vows to not leave California till it is "liberated" from elected reps Opposition leaders detained illegally Opposition leaders indicted Opposition leaders and families murdered to wrest control of a state military parade with tanks through US capital Red line here yet?

Republicans are unfit for office at any level

this statement was made just yesterday

Don't let it get lost in your (justifiable) outrage the reprehensible treatment of Senator @padilla.senate.gov; He was attempting to speak out against DHS's statement saying they're in LA to "liberate this city from...leadership" They're talking about duly elected officials! This is a coup attempt!

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984

As an exercise, try to imagine Ron Johnson being wrestled to the ground in Wisconsin; or Tommy Tuberville in Alabama; or Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. Yeah, neither can I. charliesykes.substack.com/p/no-kings-n...

I would say he follows her around like a puppy dog but so far he has survived.

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

It’s not a game, dipshit.

Israel is bombing Iran and we're on the verge of WWIII and none of this would be happening if Donald Trump was president

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Agree on both points. 1) States control most criminal prosecutions. Calif state charges for physical assault OF A US SENATOR in state's biggest city. 2) Dems in US Senate need to stand up on this one. This didn't happen even in days Faubus/Wallace/Maddox/Bull Conner resisted fed authority in 60s

Senator David Padilla should not have attempted to politicize DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference announcing that the federal government would liberate Los Angeles from socialism. Tomorrow in the New York Times

What we value in CIVILIZATION: Agriculture, Architecture, the Arts, Transportation, Communication, Health, Wealth, Security. All pivot on enlightened investments in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, & Mathematics. "STEAM". Without them, we descend into the Dark Ages.

This is how you normalize authoritarianism.

decades of “thank you for your service” thrown away in service of kidnapping day workers from Home Depot shit-ass trade for the military, I gotta say

I guess if you train AI on the New York Times Pitchbot account it could write something like this

All you need to know about Trump at Fort Bragg, from @radiofreetom.bsky.social: It was a partisan, angry and grievance-filled ramble that encouraged soldiers to violate rules, regulations and George Washington's ideals. And senior officers didn't say a word. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Here’s our National Guard sleeping on the floor because Trump and Hegseth have no idea how to lead. Their incompetence is off the charts. It apparently didn't dawn on anyone at the top that basics like food, water, restrooms and places to sleep might be necessary during an open-ended deployment.

Everyone who collaborated with the Trump administration deserves the kind of public humiliation that Vichy collaborators got. But instead they will probably all get CNN gigs like Scott Jennings.

Yes. This is like someone whimpering about the mean streets of the Upper East Side or the Hamptons, of Marin or Atherton, of Potomac or McLean, of 02138. S Miller is an embarrassment to all Californians.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

House and Senate leaders should demand resignations from both Major General Pat Work, the 82nd Airborne Division commander, and Colonel Chad Mixon, the Fort Bragg garrison commander. This was possibly the most partisan speech ever delivered by a commander-in-chief to U.S. troops.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

We are in the grip of degenerates.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

hey siri, does the military like it when they are subjected to open disrespect from civilian leaders?

PROTESTING 101: FFS, anyone who broadcasts where they are or what they're doing on social media is either showboating or an idiot. #StandWithLA Don’t be an idiot by implicating yourself in an age of digital surveillance. Judges don’t care if you were ‘just kidding.’ #GoodTrouble Please repost.

fuck off with the “waving a mexican flag while protesting ICE is a bad look” It’s Los Angeles not The Angels pinches pendejos no corremos y no nos escondemos 🇲🇽

Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...
