Gerry Connolly’s Wiki is brutal: “He died in office on May 21, 2025. The next day, House Republicans passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act by a one-vote margin.”

“The new and expanded version of ICE will not just be immigration enforcers. They will be the most ideologically reliable armed branch of government for Donald Trump. They will be the 2025 parallel of the brownshirts.” @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/building-t...

I just learned that I will never be able to take the brown water that collects in the bottom of my garbage can and drizzle into my newborn grandson’s open mouth. Devastated.

ICE is legitimately poised to become an unaccountable army of Trump loyalists with enormous scale and resources. The American brownshirts are coming. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/building-t...

There is no longer ONE WORD about yesterday's MASSIVE protests on the NYT home page. But a whole section about the miserable, misbegotten parade. SHAME!

one disgusting thing fox news does constantly is lead jihads to try to get other journalists fired, like they're currently doing to Kimes. Story after story until they draw blood. If you work for Fox or defend them, you are a traitor to your fellow journalists.

Thousands of Christians are being rounded up and deported by the U.S. government, but they’re not cottagecore tradmoms or their homeschooled goat milk enthusiasts, so these guys are fine with it. Actually, they’re thrilled.

Don’t panic over coloured smoke grenades. The smoke is irritating but fundamentally less trouble than tear gas.

It’s a shame the Don’t Tread On Me flag was appropriated by the pro treading on me community because it’s a pretty badass flag and I am tired of being tread upon.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Australian deported from US says he was ‘targeted’ due to writing on pro-Palestine student protests

I don't know if this needs to be said or not but "elected official assassinated in their home" is simply not a thing that happens in this country. 1825, 1889, 1893, 1973. Those are all the ones I can find, ever, before today.

I get that you don’t want to be wrong and in the moment it’s hard to count, but tens of thousands was trivially correct, hundreds of thousands would’ve been a well supported estimate, and millions turns out to be correct. Undercounting is just as incorrect as overcounting.

These injuries were not inflicted by ICE or federalized guardsmen or imaginary agitators. They were inflicted by LAPD and LASD, under the direction of a supposedly democratic mayor, against people who came out to protest peacefully against fascism and racist kidnappings of our neighbors.

But the most important thing to remember today is that protestors must remain peaceful, passive, and chaste. Or else it might look bad on breitbart.

"Even if it went to the point of setting a car on fire, that's not a domestic insurrection. That's a protest that is engaged in some illegality. And we have civil means to punish it without the armed forces.”

I'm pouring over the details of the reconciliation bill and its potentially apocalyptic effects on higher education for a short piece - it really is a five alarm fire. They're going to overhaul the student loan infrastructure as a means of anti-intellectual, resegregationist social engineering.

A man with a green card said ICE agents arrested him in #Lynn, Mass then took him to a detention facility—but first made a detour to a cemetery, where they took him out of their vehicle and beat him. #mapoli #Massachusetts

If/when you see police violence this weekend being used against peaceful protesters, take a beat and think about the restraint used by officers on Jan. 6. How they defended the entire US Capitol during an insurrection. And didn't irrevocably brutalize people actively attacking them. Just a thought.

Tragically, the outrageous assault of Sen. Padilla today is becoming normal behavior for a Trump administration which is moving us toward authoritarianism. The American people do not like petty tyrants. We defeated King George in 1776. We will defeat King Donald.
