Text ur dads if you got’em, it’s Father’s Day

Good morning from Los Angeles. Police kicked off the clashes here yesterday. Don’t get it twisted. Here’s my view from the ground in words, photos and video in today’s American Doom: www.american-doom.com/p/police-sta...

here’s the moment LASD advanced on protestors with horses and used flash-bangs as we reported live yesterday. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp-vi...

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

My favorite sign at the Westerly, RI, #NoKings protest was this one held by a former Marine.

Time lapse of the No Kings protest today in Seattle

Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.

I was in front of the federal building when this happened and while I admittedly wasn’t at the front of the line closest to the cops, I didn’t hear a dispersal order. We just saw people starting to run towards us followed by cops on horses and cops shooting munitions of some kind.

Just incredible the scale of peaceful rallies today in the midst of all the tensions and chaos Trump has deliberately stoked. No matter how much Trump and those who share his authoritarian desires create mayhem and conflict, the American people still showed up at our patriotic best. #NoKings

Trump Gets His Parade — And Massive Protests Across the Country in Response www.notus.org/trump-white-...

Big misunderstanding of what the Green Berets are about and why soldiers join them to expect they’d be any good at drill

I have so many thoughts about this and no idea why the soldiers marched like this, but I'm choosing to believe it was because Army leaders explicitly refused to sacrifice actual training time to practice for a Kremlin-style propaganda parade

And Democratic Congresswoman LaMonica McIver was indicted on criminal charges for doing her job

Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are real quiet when a Dem Gov’s mansion is burned and two MN lawmakers are targeted for assassination. It’s almost as if they only care about one side being targeted for violence….

CNN giving Trump a "good try!" to his fascist parade the same way you'd do for a little kid who goes 0-4 in tee ball

Please keep posting about how no one came to Trump’s loser parade I’m going to like all of them

Thousands of people gathered on the grounds of the Washington state Capitol in Olympia on Saturday for the “No Kings” protest, part of a nationwide day of defiance against President Donald Trump. washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/06/14/n...

The #nokings protest in Anchorage is packed! (Also some really good protest dogs today, too)

Over the past 48 hours, TikTokers — and BlueSkiers, Threaders, and even Twitterers —  took a cue from 2020 K-Pop stans and reserved tickets to a trump rally they weren't gonna use. www.forbes.com/sites/emilyb...

Nice find here by @twz.com of an unidentified PLAAF large flying wing aircraft. The geometry screams ISR/recon, but speculative. The two biggest questions are whether its crewed or uncrewed and what its operational (vs experimental) status is. www.twz.com/air/massive-...

Fwiw arstechnica did a better write up of what he believes and it's more fucked up and more clearly based in eugenics He says it's miasma theory but in classic RFK Jr. fashion he defines it wrong. It would actually be better if he believed in miasma theory than his actual beliefs imho

In the end, probably just cooler to have Marilyn Monroe sing you Happy Birthday

“The biggest impact of this will be that the medical and scientific community will not trust the advice that comes out of this new ACIP.”

Curtis Yarvin, who has been profiled by the New Yorker, Washington Post and New York Times in recent months, calls Nick Fuentes a "generational talent"

In Victorian 4ngland people ate all natural food, no pesticides, hormones, or plastic. They got plenty of exercise, and their immune systems got exposed to all sorts of interesting germs. Life expectancy was about 33. Goodness, this is all so stupid. We f'd around, now for the finding out.

I missed that Jeff Bezos sold the Post to Donald Trump directly.

One good thing about today in Los Angeles is that the mainstream media was onsite *before* the police started rioting. So many news crews saying "the crowd here in LA is totally peaceful" right before LAPD and LA Sheriff started shooting and trampling people

A quick glance at the positioning of the homepages of the major press outlets show surprisingly that the NYTimes and WaPost finally join the rest of the world in putting the protests above the stupid parade. #NoKings

The new committee - chosen for bias and not expertise - is poised to vote on Vaccines For Children for covid-19 vaccines, HPV, Influenza and RSV. VFC covers vaccines for uninsured and underinsured children (about 50%). insidemedicine.substack.com/p/rfks-new-a... via @jeremyfaust.bsky.social 1/2

everything he touches turns to mold

Why does a military parade have a corporate sponsor

Literally the Russian flag in the post. Two of them

The hypocrisy of Trump officials criticizing protestors for waving the flag of democratic Mexico but the USG celebrating the foreign flag of autocratic Russia is not lost on me. twitter.com/DeptofDefens...

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

When Congress funded the DOD, there was no line item for big-boy birthday presidential military parades. Where did the money for Trump’s vainglorious spectacle come from? Cutting Army pay and benefits? Reducing training? Or just Departmental slush funds from bloated annual budgets?

A large, vocal and peaceful gathering — that was Nashville’s version of the No Kings protest against President Donald Trump on Saturday. via @wpln.bsky.social

Cannot stress enough that the protest in DTLA was completely nonviolent until the local police departments showed up Been in contact with multiple indies currently on the ground who confirmed this. Cops pushed, then started firing riot munitions indiscriminately
