Seen this going around but I’m Reposting it with the full alt text bc everyone deserves to read this glorious reply from Boy George

I rode in an elevator with Jamie Lee Curtis.

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU. Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS South Bay LA” - sign up now to join me! Find a protest near you at www.nokings.org www.mobilize.us/indivisibles...

BREAKING: Mamdani and Lander will cross-endorse. The partnership, which is being announced one day before early voting begins, would effectively turn Mamdani and Lander into something of a joint entry. They hope that one of them will eventually accumulate many of the other’s votes as a result.

Some are more outraged by my suggesting Democrats stop assisting Trump in advancing fascism than they are with elected Dems continuing to help Trump with their votes. Fighting 'dictator on day one' Trump isn't optional. Accountability for all is necessary to save our republic!

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey. Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work. It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

This fascism pure and simple. Any pundit, editorialist, or "journalist" who doesn't name it as such is a collaborator.

We kept telling Democrats that the crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists and the undocumented would be green light to go after everyone. Here we are, folks. Fascists come for everyone.

An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.

Oh my god. The federal government is really staging an armed fascist coup in Los Angeles

To hell with every other journalist or academic who's told me last few years "fascism" is hysterical. To hell with every grandstanding faux leftist who's insisted that none of this is new. To hell with "internal migration." To hell with denial. www.youtube.com/shorts/k2W39...

Hello from sunny, hot and bleak Los Angeles- we are down here at Pershing Square in DTLA, a protest is planned to kick off at 5. Small crowd building, cops cars cruising by.

👀 ABSOLUTELY UGLY numbers for Trump/MAGA's big ugly bill: ONLY 27% of voters approve it Just 67% of Republicans support it Just 10% favor Medicaid cuts 58% of voters want Cong to "act a stronger check on Trump's power" Spread the news around. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...

Ramos. Lmao

NEW POLL from Public Policy Polling, conducted June 6-7 Zohran Mamdani - 35% Andrew Cuomo - 31% Undecided - 11% Brad Lander - 9% This is the first poll to show Mamdani ahead of Cuomo in the NYC mayoral race.

Rest in peace, Brian Wilson. Loved his music since I was a kid. Was deeply affected by the documentary about him, I JUST WASN'T MADE FOR THESE TIMES. Bless him and his family and friends.

Hey, everybody! Join @chenoweth.bsky.social, @fieldsmeyer.com, and me at noon on Wednesday to talk about the past evolution and future trajectory of the concentration-camp regime we're now living inside—and how we can save the country. Virtual and free! But you must register.

oops

Tear gas can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses, including COVID. The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. What you need to know (published 2020):

Full riot gear, massive line of them, armed and trigger happy: all scared shitless of a woman in shorts trying to get home. Disgusting.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

ngl this map of scheduled protests for this weekend is *wild*

It took protesters to whoop Trump’s ass the last time he was in office, and it looks like protesters are the only ones up to the task this time too.

It is completely necessary to support Newsom as a governor fighting an authoritarian president and keep in mind that he has shown himself with incredible clarity to be an individual unworthy of trust who broke the sound barrier in normalizing authoritarianism for personal gain.

Lots of folks are expressing dismay over having to cheer on Gavin Newsom. So remember: We are loyal to the policy, not the politician. Oppose those who do the wrong thing, even when they are otherwise good people. Support those who do the right thing, even when they are loathsome shit weasels.
