It's kinda crazy to remember that the mass protests today got their start (and name) from a tweet about congestion pricing

By orders of magnitude

it is, again, intensely funny that the entire country threw a massive "fuck that guy's birthday party" party in response to trump's birthday party

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

Remember: every day is shut the fuck up Friday. You do not need to speak to law enforcement. you do not need to identify yourself to law enforcement. if the cops come to your house, if the cops come to your car, if the cops come to your protest, shut the fuck up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWEp...

Seems bad?

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

If you're in or around NYC and dig LIVE ROCK MUSIC, hooboy have I got a show for you: Friday 6/27 at Baker Falls (in the former Rockwood space) THE PINEAPPLES will take the stage at 7pm, with an incredible night of music following…check out the music in the replies!

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

If you're a NYC voter, I'd like to ask you to picture Mayor Andrew Cuomo's response to this. ... Right? Do not rank him.

Not surprised, not shocked, still trying to keep a cool temperament. But I was taken back by this one. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/u... Where do you go after you're both sides-ing and family feuding something that hasn't happened since the fight over the Civil Rights act?

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.
