Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Farm owner tells Fox News that even his employees with documentation are afraid to come to work because of how aggressive and indiscriminate ICE is being.

“Self-enrichment is exactly what the founders feared most in a leader—that’s why they put two separate prohibitions on self-benefit into the constitution,” said former federal prosecutor. “Trump’s profiting from his presidential memecoin is a textbook example of what the framers wanted to avoid.”

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Crazy how much of the population believes Biden rigged the election while Trump was president, but not that Biden rigged the election while Biden was president bsky.app/profile/atru...

Fiona Havers is resigning from the CDC "I no longer have confidence that these data will be used objectively or evaluated with appropriate scientific rigor to make evidence-based vaccine policy decisions" Not a household name - but a critical 🚨. a brief 🧵 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Holy crap. The US-UK trade deal is a blank sheet of paper and only Trump signed it. (Genuine screen grab).

This wouldn't be happening if Trump were president.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

This is gotta be intentional. But it’s also just weird! How many NYT readers were at protests? What % of subscribers? A substantial %! How can it not be seen as newsworthy, especially given the readership?

I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

Trump thought he'd be watching news coverage of his stupid North Korean style military parade. He thought American would cheer him and his fascism. Instead tonight he's watching every city in America, every town, rise up against him. Happy Birthday, Asshole.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

Trump has not only symbolically condoned political violence, he's *materially enabled it* with the powers of his office by officially pardoning the traitors against America of the January 6th insurrection. Every other unhinged right-wing lunatic can see that and do the math

Does anyone think these unspeakably evil political assassinations of Democratic lawmakers would’ve occurred without the vicious permission structure erected by Trump, Vance, Rubio, and their MAGAts? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

Two important things to note: 1) the most significant violence we’ve seen this year was not against ICE or Trump or members of his administration, but against Democrats 2) when ICE scoffs at people asking for warrants or for identification, THIS IS WHY THEY ASK www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

The Law and Order party is out here murdering lawmakers.

Breaking news: A prominent Minnesota Democrat and her spouse were killed early Saturday morning by a gunman impersonating a police officer. Another state lawmaker and his wife were shot overnight, believed to be connected to the same suspect, police said. A manhunt for the suspect is underway.

Codex is so good for side projects. Give it a task, go do other stuff around the house or play a game of chess, come back, make tweaks, repeat.

California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This week @ianlandsman.com & @aaronfrancis.com unveil the ultimate test for being a satisficer: Could you pick the first thing that sounds good off a menu and order without knowing what else is on the menu?!

This is insane. I’m trying to think what the reaction would have been if Mayorkas, DHS Secretary under Biden, had got his security folks to manhandle and shove Tom Cotton or Ted Cruz in this way.
