"You can't be beautiful and hate." ~ Bess Meyerson, Miss America 1945

Millions flood the streets to protest Trump while he can't even fill the bleachers at a parade. You are not crazy to doubt he actually won. @susangreenhalgh.bsky.social joins me to discuss machine breaches, a greenlit lawsuit + the election criminal Trump wants freed www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk1A...

#NoKings New York

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Signs from today's No Kings rally in Denver. #NoKings

I was excited to be featured in this week's edition of La Nacion, Argentina's paper of record, regarding the demise of the rule of law and the rise of authoritarianism in America. Spanish speakers, I hope you will check it out! www.lanacion.com.ar/ideas/asha-r...

When NO KINGS reigns over your parade. #SAD 🤣

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

That’s not what the military is supposed to do. That’s called a military coup.

Funded by your tax dollars.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

At no point in world history has the side with the secret police been the good guys.

Trump‘s legally dubious move to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles won’t be the last city he tries this with. His proclamation declaring he has the power to do this did not specifically cite Los Angeles. It’s open ended. Which means he’s going to try this anywhere he wants.

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.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

How many times am I allowed to repost this?

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Silence Is Complicity Straighten your spine Speak & live your truth

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.

We were warned. People chose to ignore it. Now this is our reality.

We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

MAGA that supports and praises violent insurrectionists on January 6th now lecturing America about people protesting ICE. LOL. OK, Karens.

Law Professor @rgoodlaw.bsky.social catches DOJ in a contradiction in the Abrego Garcia case. A major one.

They are wearing masks in the hopes of avoiding identification and consequences when the day comes that America has its version of Nuremberg trials. They wouldn't hide their faces if they thought what they were doing was right and lawful.

💥 @repdangoldman.bsky.social speaks out about his confrontation with “plain-clothes ICE agents” wearing masks. “You can’t require Columbia University to ban masks in order to get federal funding while you turn around and have federal government enforcement law enforcement agents wearing masks.”

“So long as human beings live in freedom, it will rank as one of human civilization’s most monumental days. The scale of the endeavor was epic. In fact, it may be the most complicated one ever executed by human beings en masse.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/day-of-days

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

Crowds of brave people have surrounded the ICE detention centre in Los Angeles. They are trying to liberate victims kidnapped by Trump’s regime forces. Victims were abducted and thrown into the basement of the building without due process. #3E

🧪 Just found this quote from 1791. As true today as ever. “You count on the force of truth; but truth is all-powerful only over minds accustomed to recognize it and cherish its noble accents.” —Marquis de Condorcet

🧠🧍‍♂️ Mild face blindness, major impact A new study shows even mild prosopagnosia can make daily life difficult – including recognising close friends or family. Calls are growing to recognise it as a form of neurodivergence. 🔗 theconversation.com/even-mild-fa... #SciComm 🧪 #FaceBlindness

🧪 White nose syndrome in North American bats appears to have been introduced from a cave system in the Ukraine back in 2006. Fantastic new research shows that European bats are affected by two separate clads of the fungus, but only one clade has (so far) been introduced to N-America: rdcu.be/epN7x

Illinois Congresswoman and notorious bigot Mary Miller posted an Islamophobic tweet this morning, realized she had made a mistake, and then posted an anti-Sikh tweet. She has since deleted the anti-Sikh tweet.

81 years later, we honor the heroes who fought for freedom and changed the course of history

Honestly, who could have predicted this falling out between possibly the two most unhinged narcissists on planet earth? Was it everyone, or just almost everyone?

Today is a day that illustrates the human spirit for freedom. It is always there. It is the spark of the divine. We should honor the sacrifice he made against the evil, totalitarian regime he lived under…that is still there to this day.

Meiselas: Their justification for that is, “The reason we voted for this is to hand it over to the Senate.” Moskowitz: Oh yeah. Yeah, we just need to get some piece of shit out of here, right? To give it over to the Senate, and they’re going to make it beautiful.

So it seems like Bukele *is* willing to release detainees if there are pending proceedings in the U.S. The habeas/due process the courts have ordered for the Venezuelans are pending proceedings. So when are they coming back
