The heat in Paris today.

Friends, please support the @aclu.org and their fight for all of our rights and their unflinching defense of the Constitution.

These goons are Border Patrol agents. They’re all geared up like they’re about to kick in doors in Kandahar but they’re actually coming out of a Hibachi restaurant in Bangor, Maine where they saved the nation from a couple hardworking dishwashers or cooks. Fucking prick thugs.

www.threads.com/@thetnholler... “They said is 1 o’clock ok? I said it’s fine.” Trump recounts giving Iran permission to shoot at a 🇺🇸 military base in Qatar. Let’s be clear: this is POTUS giving his consent to a foreign power attacking an American military base. Treason.

Let’s be very clear about what trump said on Truth Social and again stated on a live mic…that he was aware of Iran’s plan to attack our base in Qatar and agreed to it. Again: the President of the United States permitted a foreign power to fire on us in anger. This is treason.

For my fellow Tribe excoriating Zohran Mamdani for his Muslim faith, be aware you’re doing the same to him that’s done to us by the anti-Semites. Criticize his views, dislike his politics, but attack the man for his faith and you are no better than those who do so to us. Stop it.

Don Jr’s tweets are always a gift.

The answer is either yes or no. And we all know which of those “I dont recall” is.

Blissfully unaware that Donald Trump even exists much less is shitting his pants in the White House every day, Stella Blue sleeps the contended sleep of a well-loved and clearly well-fed house cat. 🐈‍⬛ #catsofbluesky #stellablue #stellathecat

This day, Juneteenth, is a great day in our history; a day when we got a little bit closer to the More Perfect Union and the ideals this country aspires to. We will never be perfect, not even close, but June 19th should be celebrated by all those who truly believe in the promise of this country.

As I start my consulting practice - been a Homeland and National Security contractor for 25 years - I have one rule: I will not work with anyone pursuing business at ICE or anyone who with existing business at ICE. #abolishICE

@jralmostdead.bsky.social wove in a trifecta for the No Kings march at Merriwhether: “Fortunate Son,” “Street Fighting Man,”and, “Pigs,” Here’s a clip of that searing bombshell for your eyes and ears. #nokings #joerussosalmostdead #JRAD

My friends, the band Skyfactor, celebrated their 20th anniversary and release of the new album, “Master Plan,” last night at The Cutting Room in NYC. They closed with some Zep. Do check out their new album available on all major music platforms.

Do not let this photograph of the epitome of feline magnificent fool you. Thor is gorgeous, but he is a complete goofball. #catsofbluesky

Ike’s legendary exhortation to the troops on D-Day. Always remember this day, always commemorate this day. Always honor the day the nations of the free world returned to France to put the lie to Hitler’s boast of a Festung Europa. #dday #ike #shaef
