A lawmaker and her husband were murdered. A senator and his wife nearly killed. The suspect had a hit list. And what did we do? We blamed each other. We justified. We spun. Political violence isn’t coming—it’s here. And we’re normalizing it. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/political-...

I just discovered this meme and I love it. Happy #PrideMonth to all my #LGBTQIA + friends!

www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-... Well, it looks like the wannabe dictator’s parade was a complete bust. He looked absolutely miserable, it was humid and dreary, and no one showed up but a handful of his most rabid cultists. Even they looked miserable. The sun is setting on the MAGA movement.

In the midst of their white supremacist, Christian nationalist fever dream, MAGA looks at Orangeface and sees a superhero. I only see a weak old man who can’t climb a set of stairs and has to wear a catheter so he won’t pee his pants. We need to distribute “They Live!” glasses to the MAGA crowd.

Not the damn military, and sure as hell not giving insane tax breaks to quadrillionaires while children go unhoused and malnourished because MAGA took their government assistance away.

To anyone who has paid any attention to the word salad coming out of his mouth, this is plainly evident. He is beyond lying at this point; he can no longer distinguish imagination from reality.

Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican and conservationist, is rolling over in his grave.

Good questions.

www.huffpost.com/entry/james-... The Nazification of the MAGA party continues. Every week the seem to arrest, or threaten to arrest, assault, or attempt to assault, members of the opposition. Now they’re using law enforcement as their personal Gestapo.

abcnews.go.com/Politics/bon... Yeah. They’re not all white. The racism is apparent, Ms. Pinocchio Cross.

Orangeface did him a big favor. A week ago the Democrats didn’t have a clear party leader. They do now.

Ditto.

www.bbc.com/news/article... MAGA, you can thank Orangeface for this … and then blame yourselves.

In his case it isn’t an opinion. It is intentional misinformation that he knows will be magnified by all his minions. He’s the president. He knows the city was not on fire, and there was no riot. He’s begging for the chance to escalate so he can declare martial law.

Shit floats.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard repeats Putin’s talking points today, releasing an unhinged video where she claims that “political elites” want a nuclear war with Russia because they have sophisticated bomb shelters that will help them survive it.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to visualize Miller in a Gestapo uniform?

“The true poet and the true scientist are close akin. They go forth into nature like friends. … The interests of the two are widely different, yet in no true sense are they hostile.” —John Burroughs

newrepublic.com/post/196310/... So Orangeface is demanding credit for “ solving” a “crisis” he created in the first place; there was no crisis—just a peaceful protest. And he can’t even think of a good reason to arrest Newsom, which must be sorely disappointing to him. Ketchup throwing time.

www.npr.org/2025/06/09/n... Orangeface is just chomping at the bit to have innocent, law-abiding protesters shot and arrested. Fortunately, the protesters know his game, and 99% of them are protesting peacefully. (Of course, he will spin it that the presence of the marines prevented violence.)

“No nation has ever achieved permanent greatness unless this greatness was based on the well-being of the great farmer class, the men who live on the soil, for it is upon their welfare, material and moral, that the welfare of the rest of the nation ultimately rests.” —Theodore Roosevelt

So this is the guy MAGA looks up to as the archetype of their apex predator? Grandpa looks like he’s about to keel over on the spot. Someone please give him his meds and put him to bed.

Absolute truth. Mace and her ilk are doing more than atheism ever could to destroy Christianity.

Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it’ll still cost more than universal healthcare. Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls.

Very good question.

www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/06/scie... This interesting article testifies to what we still have to learn from the indigenous people of the world. They remember what we have forgotten.

What it says is that many of our fellow citizens are either stupid or they are also monsters.

We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect. —Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac

But it does mean that stupid people will not believe they are happening largely due to the false narrative they are eagerly consuming on Faux News.

“Is he dead yet?” asked Piglet. “No,” said Pooh. “Fuck,” said Piglet.

🚨Trump’s throwing himself a military parade on June 14. We’re throwing a protest! youtu.be/aje9Di7fYAs?...

As long as they are hospitals in poor neighborhoods that primarily serve people of color they don’t care.

Rove, a onetime senior advisor to former President George W. Bush, wrote that “Democrats are likelier than not to take the House majority,” citing historical trends and the current slim GOP House majority. www.rawstory.com/trump-2026/

I wish. But it doesn’t seem to be in the cards.

Here we go. We will easily hit 2 degrees by the end of the decade. And are we slowing down? No. We’re dumping more carbon in the atmosphere than ever, and virtually assuring that our civilization will end. Probably within our lifetimes.

newrepublic.com/post/196109/... Let’s not call this “meddling.” That’s whitewashing what this is. This is straight out of 1984 rewriting facts—making things up and pretending they are the truth. This is lying. But of course Faux News will amplify these lies.

“The bubbling brook, the trees, the flowers, the wild animals were to me persons, not things.” —George Perkins Marsh, Man and Nature (1864)

www.military.com/daily-news/2... Try as they might, they can’t erase history. All they will do is motivate the rest of us to keep it alive. (“Warrior culture”? “Toxic masculinity“ is more like it.)
