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).

"Crime, boy, I don't know."

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Aside from being just plain wrong, this is so tacky and cheap. Just like Trump.

Lmao.

Just some regular fashion advice for going for a little walk in your city! Share this so others can improve their style :)

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

"Whatever the nature of the crisis, it forces the revolutionaries to make a choice. Give up—or radicalize. Find compromises—or polarize society further. Slow down—or use violence" The logic of revolution is always the same www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

By failing to defend against Russian attacks on the free world, we’ve ceded advantage to our enemies We’ve also made it harder for our democracy to deliver to Americans at home The survival of America and the survival of Ukraine may be inextricably linked www.greatpower.us/p/thin-blue-...

This is so hard to watch. Just terrorizing people who feed us. I will never forgive and never forget the brutality of this regime and the cruelty every voter who put this evil into power. And when the price of food escalates -- you know who to blame: every single Trump voter.

Pretty much all of us covering the protests over the last week have gotten targeted by police in some manner: Shot at with "less-lethals", illegal searches, harassment, forced to disperse despite penal code 409.7, detainment, etc.

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

I hear calls for “civility” I believe that many of us are mistaking docility for civility

This takes courage Trump and his idiots hate truth

“What does he have on us?”

We knew that some immigrant-citizen couples would choose to leave everything behind to start anew in a foreign country. We may never truly know how many families have made that wrenching choice, or what finally pushed them to do so.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

This president is forcing troops to support him or reveal their political beliefs to their superior. "If soldiers have political views…in opposition to the current administration and they don't want to be in the audience then they need to speak with their leadership. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

“The president of Glen Valley Foods, the company that was raided, said they had followed the law and used the E-Verify system, a federal database to check the immigration status of employees. When he told ICE agents that…they told him the E-Verify system is broken.” youtube.com/shorts/tGyp1...

If protesters really want to deface public property they’ll glue spray painted gold rococo shit all over it.

Can’t imagine.

Donald Trump invented Bluesky in real life

It took protesters to whoop Trump’s ass the last time he was in office, and it looks like protesters are the only ones up to the task this time too.

New York protestors attacked by NYPD as protestors tried to stop the Trump regime's ICE ethnic cleansing vans. #3E #StopICE

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

Remember this: be unpredictable. “Outrun, outlast… make it impossible for them to justify the cost.” They’ve already wasted $131 million. We are fully committed to peaceful demonstrations, and just as committed to protecting our communities.

It’s looking like Saturday’s No Kings mobilizations are going to be even bigger than Hands Off! We need to show up by the millions to demonstrate that Trump’s tyrannic crackdown is only deepening our resolve. Find a peaceful protest near you for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Facebook decided to suspend my account because of a piece (below) I wrote Monday about violence which in no way advocates for it (but does point out who is violent in the current ruckus).

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

Fetterman @fetterman.senate.gov was having dinner with Steve Bannon at a MAGA hangout. Go ahead and switch parties, Uncle Fester, but AOC is gonna keep humiliating you either way.

Say it like it is. Loudly. Bluntly. So all can see it and know this authoritarian brutality for what it is.

LAPD shoot US woman with a rubber bullet for trying to get into her home, they were blocking her entrance and there was no protest in sight. “Holy fuck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” ( www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlore) #3E #StopICE

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

They keep talking about punishing protestors as if this country wasn’t FOUNDED BY PROTESTERS WHO ENSHRINED THE RIGHT TO PROTEST, I AM SO TIRED OF HOW STUPID THINGS HAVE BECOME

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

As the US Army celebrates it 250th birthday, Trump is celebrating the enemy that tried to defeat it.

The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up peacefully.

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office posts a video of Emperor Palpatine reciting Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about L.A. via @swholocron.bsky.social

Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock on Trump deploying troops to Los Angeles: “He is using the symbolism and the uniforms of our service members in a campaign to do what he's been doing for 10 years, and that is to convince us that we are at war with one another.”

So Hegseth lied under oath today. Marine infantry units aren’t trained for this.

Well this is awkward
