Congress died the moment they allowed 147 insurrectionists to remain in office instead of expelling them and charging them with sedition. That’s just my opinion.

Take note.

Journalist: “What’s your message to all other immigrants in this country today?” Mahmoud Khalil: “No one is illegal. No human is illegal. That’s the message.”

Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history. This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

Sen. Alex Padilla slammed Trump’s immigration tactics in an op-ed, calling them a scapegoat for his political failures. He warned the National Guard deployment to L.A. is a “warning shot” threatening civil liberties. www.rawstory.com/trump-267240...

Not to scare people but the US Court of Appeals gave Trump last night the okay to send National Guard Troops to any city and any state as long as Trump can show the slightest bit of evidence that people "impeded the ability of federal officers to execute the laws." Trump will abuse this ruling.

The only thing I have to say about the supreme court ruling: I attempted suicide for the first time at 7 years old. Protect trans kids.

Literally erasing people will push many over the cliff. Horrible. #MomSky

Trump - ordered to pay E Jean Carroll $88.3M for defamation. Fox - ordered to pay Dominion $787M for defamation. Rudy Giuliani - ordered to pay Ruby Freeman & Shaye Moss $148M for defamation. Mike Lindell - ordered to pay Eric Coomer $2.3M for defamation. Can you spot a pattern.

What's a matter with Judge? 0-4, 3 strikeouts. #Yankees #redsox

Favorite #nokings sign? Po boys not proud boys. Stars stripes and reproductive rights. And Trump as Marie Antoinette...let them eat birthday cake. #neworleans

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The death and destruction we're seeing now is 100% bc of Trump & Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

🇺🇸 In Los Angeles, Marines detained a U.S. Army veteran who was heading to the VA office at the federal building they were guarding. He wasn’t protesting—just crossing a taped boundary. He was zip-tied, held on the ground, and handed over to DHS. This is how we treat veterans now?

Wake up and protest! #Nokings #neworleans Now are protest will still have a parade flavor too. But the only king here is the Mardi Gras King!

Rain 3: Julie 2. Accuracy of the National Weather Service never be finer. #thankstrump

Us who are in the IRS are pissed. We are required to have degrees, sometimes multiple degrees. We are now being run by a college dropout, who took a tax scam weekend seminar with no real financial experience. #billylong is another idiot.

🦋 Trump's new head of IRS touted himself as a "certified tax & business advisor" after attending seminar Former Representative of Missouri, Billy Long, has been confirmed as head of the Internal Revenue Service He added CTBA to his credentials after a 3-day course with Florida firm Excel Empire 🦋

House members get into screaming match during congressional testimony following Sen. Alex Padilla's forced removal from DHS secretary Kristi Noem's press conference

Amazing how events captured on video are now a “he said she said” scenario. There is no objective truth. NPR reporting Padilla “ended up on the ground” with no clue as to how he got there

Calls grow for Kristi Noem to resign in the wake of Padilla incident

Major General Randy Manner, former Acting Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau, speaks out against use of National Guard in LA: open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

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."

Gavin Newsom full troll mode. #NoKings

Workshopping protest signs for our protest Saturday 6/14 at 1PM at 34416 Selva Road in Dana Point, CA. Wonder if Gavin Newsom would like it? TACO and he isn’t arresting Newsom after all. Gavin called his bluff and Trump chickened out again. #NoKings #5050Movement #ICE

Right-wing media can’t handle Gavin Newsom calling out Trump’s thuggery www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

YAZ!! #sfgiants Not sure if I want this one run record!

Donald Trump is spending $134 million to send National Guardsmen to Los Angeles and $45 million on a military parade in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, he is trying to cut hundreds of millions from Medicaid and SNAP. Don't let him get away with it.

Kimmel is doing a better job right now than ABC News. I hope he saw the Terry Moran stuff and decided to go extra hard tonight in response youtu.be/baR4logaaOQ?...

ICE is targeting day laborers because they can make them work in detention centers for $1 a day. Think hard on that.

Friend randomly made this for me and I LOVE it

Looking for a new podcast? Check out dickanddank.com. My brother & his partner Dick talk all things weed. It's funny & educational. He also tells stories about when we were growing up that make me smile...even when he's talking about walking bean rows. Listen and share!

This is a dictatorial provocation: Trump took extraordinary action on Saturday by deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to quell immigration protesters in California, making rare use of federal powers and bypassing the authority of the state’s governor, Gavin Newsom.

Facts: - Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass both publicly stated they did not request National Guard assistance. - Under normal circumstances, National Guard deployment requires state approval unless the Insurrection Act is invoked, which Trump has not done.

In Europe this morning, analysts are agreed that the next major elements of a fascist state are now being wheeled into place in the US: will military forces be deployed against civilian protesters? It's clear that Trump wants to do this. Before the DOD said "no." Now Pete Hegseth is SecDef.

Let's not forget Peter Thiel in all of this. Thiel is the man who put Pope-killer JD Vance into the VP seat. Elon says he has the dirt on Diaper Donnie, making Vance his "unnatural" successor. Basically, it's going just as Thiel planned. See also.

Okay Blue Sky. I definitely don't have video games selected as an interest. I never click on any related stories. I don't write about them either. Try harder.

Let's get loud SF! #sfgiants
