starting to think some of these trump appointees are not completely up for the tasks at hand it is just this feeling i am getting

This is more like play-by-play from Rubio than any kind of meaningful statement of the US trying to shape outcomes...

Trump on Oct 1, 2024, saying that we are on the brink of WWIII and a “global catastrophe” because Iran just launched missiles at Israel, which never would’ve happened if he was president.

“Donald Trump is a failed negotiator who has completely lost control and credibility in every region in which he claims to be a peacemaker.”

The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV—a refugee himself—is mobilizing priests to accompany migrants at immigration court on June 20. (Via Christopher Hale)

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

“I’ve never seen anything that simultaneously really goes after poor people and then really helps rich people." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

We’re bombing Houthis. Israel is bombing Iran & Gaza. Russia is bombing Ukraine. We’re threatening Greenland. When is all this peace & tranquility going to happen that Trump promised us he would accomplish on Day 1 because everyone around the world was supposedly afraid of him?

This is a deeply confused, historically ignorant, and easily bamboozled halfwit whose understanding of geopolitics and geostrategy is roughly equivalent to that of a random mollusc.

😕

Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was? We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy. I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this in my lifetime.

more crime in america

I am Democrat Shawn Harris. I am a husband, father, retired General and farmer. I have announced my candidacy to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene and I know we will together. Her hate and conspiracies do not belong in Congress. Let’s end the chaos together. Share and join me in this fight:

Gov. Mike Kehoe has activated the Missouri National Guard, declaring a state of emergency due to civil unrest, even as no evidence existed of riots or other widespread violence in the state.

I’m rather certain, yes definitely certain that I was promised nothing but peace and prosperity by Trump and his campaign.. How’s that going?😏

Arresting someone for asking a question ain’t a display of strength. It’s a display of weakness.

California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

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
