This is remarkably incoherent even for him. But I especially like the notion that these evil criminals are applying to pick crops and mop hotel bathrooms.

Raise your hand if you were dumb enough to have believed this.

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I somehow gained 100 new followers on here today. If you're real people, then thank you and I love you. If you're bots, then beep bop boop beep I love you.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

Underneath this sign lies a rich and hilarious story of a no good, very bad afternoon someone had.

Idiocracy was a documentary.

Wedding of Mr Papadam and Miss Basta. Spencer Digby Studios, Wellington, 26 December 1971. Ref B.088220/01, Te Papa.

I just wanna say something really plainly that I haven’t seen spelled out like this There is no such thing as legal immigration anymore. Because they are taking people at their citizenship hearings they are taking people who are doing everything by the book. 1/2

She is saying, in effect: "We are going to liberate the city from its democratically elected leadership using the military"

Alan Rickman as Sherlock Holmes and David Suchet as Moriarty in a production of William Gillet's stageplay Sherlock Holmes. Anyone have a time machine?

Speaker Mike Johnson just called on the Senate to censure...Sen. Alex Padilla. You read that right. The American Fascist Party at work.

DHS handcuffing Senator Padilla & forcing him to the ground after he had already clearly identified himself is outrageous. This is more than misconduct—it’s systemic abuse of power, aimed at a Latino senator. The Trump admin is shredding public trust. And when trust breaks, everyone is less safe.

A second top pollster finds Trump's approval plummeting: AP-NORC approve 39 disapprove 60 (net -21) Quinnipiac approve 38 disapprove 54 (net -16) BOTH are considered select pollsters by NYT.

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).

Breaking @propublica.org: Bukele of El Salvador has become one of Trump’s favorite authoritarians, and Trump touts him as a foe of MS-13. But a US investigation has found evidence he has colluded with the gang, even paying it for votes. www.propublica.org/article/buke...

Breaking: President Trump orders ICE agents to arrest the actor playing Jean Valjean at the conclusion of a performance of Les Miserables at the Kennedy Center.

Next year’s World Cup will be policed by the Gestapo

Double.

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

Can’t help but think this obviously manufactured chaos is all because the orange felon failed with his stupid bill, his tariff trade war, his BS economic plan, the jobs report and of course because he’s in the Epstein files. Trying to distract with a civil war is peak fascism.

Sarah Stillman investigates a widespread crisis of deaths by starvation in America’s county jails. Most of the victims she identified had been arrested in the midst of a mental-health crisis, often on petty charges tied to their psychiatric distress.

Florida welfare authorities have turned over a 17-year-old foster child to ICE. He has already been separated from his mother, who was deported. He may have been the victim of labor trafficking. Yet, he was taken from his foster home in shackles. A minor. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

The media is going to BOTH SIDES us right into martial law

Waymo leaves LA like elves leaving Middle Earth 🌅

If you're a gringo invading a city with the Spanish name "Los Angeles," you are invading traditionally Hispanic land, which they took from Native Americans, instead of Hispanics invading YOUR land.

Well this is awkward

So the US federal government is so fragile that it has to have a curfew around its gulags to stop people calling its disappearance squads names.

The fact an American President got members of the military to boo American citizens should send chills through everyone. There's going to be a rump of the military that's prepared to do whatever he wants.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

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

On this day in 1943, a transport arrived at Sobibor from Vught via Westerbork including almost 1300 children. All were murdered on arrival. Here are some of those children: Hans Jozef Cohen (12) Hanny Cohen (14) Jacques Cohen (16) Please support and follow @sobibor.org 1/6

I’ve seen a few variations of this making the rounds. I like this one best. I don’t know who the original artist is but thank you to them.

11 June 1942 | Italian Jewish boy, Massimo D'Angeli, was born in Florence. He arrived at Auschwitz on 14 November 1943 with his older brother Carlo. They were both murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection with their mother Renata.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

On this day in 1943, a 39 year old Dutch Jewish woman, a teacher, arrived at the Sobibor extermination camp with her 2 children (7 & 9). They were murdered on arrival. Her name was Hester Elisabeth Kolthoff-Stork (Photo taken 1915) Support @sobibor.org
