Funded by your tax dollars.

Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”

You got exactly what you voted for you rotten pig asshole, I hope you never forget it and that it haunts you to your grave

Angus: Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in liberal democracy—he doesn’t believe in the rule of law. Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada. He is welcoming Vladimir Putin’s sock puppet.

Politicians need to be sure to frame this in concrete $ terms and not income deciles. In 2000, Al Gore noted that Bush's tax cuts would go to the "top 1%" but a poll after the election showed about 20% thought they were in the "top 1%" and another 20% thought they would be there within five years.

At least four people are dead in San Antonio and dozens of water rescues were made around the city after heavy rains flooded highways and stranded motorists, officials said.

Trump just admitted that his mass deportations are bad for farmers and the economy, and crucially, also admitted that workers who are getting deported are "almost impossible to replace." That's a massive repudiation of MAGA ideology:

Someone put this on a T-shirt

2nd Battalion, 7th Marines training for deployment in Los Angeles.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Newsom on Trump: "He's lost it. He hasn't lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he's incapable now of even a train of thought. He's making things up and he's putting people's lives at risk."

#GVerse #DamnRight - Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov just slammed the media for not reporting on #Taco47p’s clear cognitive decline. #LetsFuckingGo Repost!!!

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..."

I didn’t see Trump throwing a shit fit about the Irish flag on St. Patrick’s Day even though the Irish sympathize and empathize with people who have been oppressed. Gee I wonder why.

if you're a family member of a National Guard member or Marine deployed to L.A. and want to talk please get in touch.

New euphemism for authoritarian lawlessness just dropped

"The story of Les Mis is inspired by the June Rebellion, an 1832 insurrection by republicans against the authoritarianism of a newly established French king. No one is expecting a replay from Republicans in June 2025." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Democracy has officially died in darkness. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Fascist grifting president grifts again. #LosAngeles #ICE www.military.com/daily-news/2...

A President who pardons violent Jan 6 insurrectionists and attacks peaceful protesters in California is no President at all. He is but a vile occupier of our White House. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Even members of Netanyahu’s own Likud party have broken ranks over the issue. religionnews.com/2025/06/10/u...

NEW: The Trump administration cut research funding that sought cures for future pandemics, examined the causes of dementia and tried to prevent HIV transmission. ProPublica heard from more than 150 researchers to understand the work that’s been lost.

Gov. Gavin Newsom tells Fox LA that Trump has "lost it."   "This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago, and he's incapable of even a train of thought. He's making things up."

Marco Rubio is the weakest and most subservient Secretary of State ever. What a pathetic Russian lapdog — kissing Putin’s feet on a daily basis! Rubio is certainly NOT speaking on behalf of me!!! 😡

9 years ago today, a 29yo with an AR15 hunted & killed 49 people & wounded 53 others in a mass shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Click to email your Members of Congress to urge them to #BanWeaponsOfWar! secure.everyaction.com/tQceIFM-V0Ot... @newtownaction.org #GaysAgainstGuns

For the first time in 20 years, the International Atomic Energy Agency has passed a resolution of noncompliance against Iran, claiming they are not adhering to their nonproliferation obligations. In response, Iran says they will up enrichment. Not good. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/w...

Yet another lie. 🤥 www.mediaite.com/media/tv/lap...

From the New Yorker, 2018. I was so ahead of my time.

“Powerful algorithms that fuel social media platforms are feeding users days-old & sometimes completely fake content about recent unrest in LA, contributing to a sense of nonstop crisis that doesn’t exist beyond a small part of the sprawling city,” write @brianstelter.bsky.social & Sean Lyngaas. 🧵

This is — and I cannot stress this enough — a real government website right now. It is hosted on the Department of Commerce website (the Department of Commerce has no immigration functions whatsoever that I am aware of).
