The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Trump’s people are not interested, therefore facts such as these cannot penetrate the devotion to the cult. It is a hate filled ideology whereby DJT instructs his people as to what they must think & feel. The rendering of those who are considered to be the “other” will proceed. “Love one another.”

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

I know this has been done to death, but if Barack Obama had $300M set aside from the federal budget to go golfing. Part of which would go directly to him through golf cart rental etc, Fox would be wall to wall outrage until the mainstream media followed and it was the ‘only’ story for a week.

This isn't actually funny at all; it's a window into Trump's worldview, because he absolutely expected any German official to be upset over the Nazis losing. Because if Trump were German, he would be. Because things like "they were fucking Nazis" are way less important to him than "on my team"

Commentary: "Trump’s betrayal of the veterans community is unforgivable. But it is not unanswerable. We are answering. In protest. In court. In the media. At the ballot box." Today, June 6 — D-Day — thousands will rally across the country to protest.

The US & allies gave hope to the Europeans held hostage by Hitler & his minions with 1944 D-day. Nowadays the United States is squarely backing the Russian dictator who has invaded Ukraine. What happened to the Republicans; they worship a fool.

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

CSPAN could go public and become the media play of the century if it started covering Congress like this. ht: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social
