Aw, beautiful Fathers’ Day card from my girls. ‘We have come to accept that you are doing your best.’

Think the awkward thing for all will be when the conclusion is that state services were just terrible at, and totally uninterested in, caring for vulnerable young girls from troubled and troublesome backgrounds.

As predicted, the front pages of BBC & CNN are full of Israel-Iran. Nothing on Gaza or West Bank. Remember that all comms are cut in Gaza as they starve. Exactly what Netanyahu wanted. They can do anything they like now as the vapid MSM chase the new squirrel released for their distraction.

Fortunate Son! An anti-war song about rich kids dodging military service!

When bad things happen to you, it’s your fault. When bad things happens to me, that’s also your fault, or at least the fault of people like you. This is (part of) the mindset that has brought us where we are in politics today.

I'm glad my Bluesky feed is full of images and videos of the #NoKings protests; there's the usual lack of headlines on the main UK news web-sites.

Trump keeps it succinct, that thing he’s known to do when something goes really well for him.

Trump firing Hegseth because his parade sucked shit would be insanely on brand

Everyone's having a lovely time at the big para.......oh

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Live look at Detroit, Michigan. Let's go, Motor City! Even Fox's streaming channel is calling the No Kings Day rallies "massive." 🍿

hearing the sad squeak of the tanks over the music, and no cheering is really something

Nobody showing up to watch his stupid parade is honestly way funnier than a huge protest would have been

LOL

It really says something that Minnesota still showed out like this even with their lives under threat, with a politically motivated killer who reportedly had materials relates to this event in his vehicle. Incredible state and incredible people.

my goodness george soros spent a fortune on paid protesters today

Murdered by a Democrat? NOPE. Vance Luther Boelter is a far-right Christian nationalist whose assassination list contained the names of many major Minnesota Democrats — including Rep. Melissa Hortman, Sen. John Hoffman, Gov. Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Sen. Tina Smith... 1/3

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Less than two weeks to Dan Hannan Day...

Musk bought Twitter to turn it into a right-wing propaganda network precisely in moments like these.

At some point we should discuss Meta's policy of quickly erasing the Facebook profiles of right-wing killers. The public deserves to exactly know how these people were radicalized by Facebook's algorithms.

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

“America First” was popularized by President Woodrow Wilson and was then adopted by the “America First Committee” which was associated with Charles Lindbergh.

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff “Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.”

Can we all do our best to make sure that our media and politicians understand that simply starting yet another war does not mean that we all have to forget about a continuing genocide?

The United States must not be drawn into Netanyahu’s illegal war against Iran. I will be introducing legislation to prohibit the use of federal funds for any use of military force in or against Iran without specific Congressional authorization, with an exception for self-defense.

The contrasting images of a DC ghost town/military parade and 1800 American cities and towns with well-attended protests is going to drive Trump batty.

Los Angeles #NoKings

Remember when we were against nations committing genocide? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

not just the headline, NOWHERE in the story does it say they were Democrats. What the ACTUAL FUCK, @cnn.com

Energy prices about to go up again then. We need to reduce our dependency on oil and gas - we can't continue to remain at the mercy of some the very worst people on the planet.

Democrats FFS, sort the headline out

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Within minutes of the attack on Jewish demonstrators in Boulder the FBI and HLS declared it a terrorist attack and rolled in. It's been 8 hours since the targeted assassinations of Democratic legislators in MN and Bongino says they're "assisting local partners." Silence from Trump. We see you.

Trump Mouths Lyrics To ‘Happy Birthday’ While National Anthem Plays

Missing from Trump’s Truth Social account so far today: A single word about the dual shootings of Minnesota Democratic legislators. Same goes for the official DHS and Noem accounts

you ever think about how in 2009 DHS released a report about the growing threat of violent domestic terrorism from the right and then Republicans got so mad about it the DHS secretary resigned?

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"
