This is the exact stuff that Alex Jones and white militia movements used to scream at the top of their lungs that they were afraid of and that it was coming any day now and what they failed to predict/confess was that actually they were the jackboots and everyone else was the snake.

ABC suspends reporter who interviewed Trump over devastating analysis of president – and Stephen Miller

The quiet part is getting really loud. People were okay with all of this when the targets were darker than a paper bag.

I don’t love that Bill Kristol is a more clear eyed opponent of fascism than 90 percent of the Democratic Party.

Trump deploying ICE and then the national guard to attack US citizens to cover up stories about his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein isn't the first time he's pulled this move. June, 2020 vs June 2025.

LAPD out here vouching for the non-violence of the protestors.

If LAPD is telling you they don't want to take part in your fuckup you have fucked up in ways that defy human comprehension

Apparently, California will be the national flashpoint. Probably because it's the wealthiest state, and the most vocally anti-TACO. For those committed to peaceful protest, PLEASE practice de-escalation techniques, like this one. Film EVERYTHING. Share this widely with your groups, and be careful!!

This is what Mark Esper, for all his acquiescence, refused to do in June 2020.

Abolish ICE.

Amid MAGA triumphalism in Washington, Republicans and Democrats in New Jersey will define themselves by who their voters select for what looks likely to be a competitive contest in November https://econ.trib.al/s7AqY4T

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

one thing about americans, we will make our own lives worse and more expensive if it means a group we think is “undeserving” gets punished

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism. But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

The corrupt Ultra Right-Wing part of the Supreme Court cannot seem to find the right to privacy anywhere in our Constitution but miraculously found Presidential Immunity even though no one else in the history of The United States has ever seen it.

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

This should not controversial, but somehow it is. I believe EVERYONE deserves healthcare, no matter who you are, what you do, or where you were born.

Classic example of how DC brained Dems sometimes think too much. This Musk/Trump feud is a gift. Cong Dems should lean into it; leverage it to introduce amendments to cleave the Rs while talking about the monstrous murder bill gutting healthcare, killing 51k Americans a year. This can’t be hard.

I was talking about this with my students yesterday—throughout Western Europe, Nazism is treated in public spaces and memorials as a nightmare, as horror that must never be repeated. If slavery and Jim Crow received the same commemoration in the US, we'd be a very different country.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Can we get money out of politics? Publicly finance elections. It’s the one thing all us normies should easily agree on. #NoKings

The Democrats should enlist Elon Musk’s wealth by taxing him heavily and using the money to reduce income inequality.

The nonpartisan CBO says the Republican spending bill will add $2.4T to the debt over 10 years. Of course Trump says, without evidence, that the CBO is working against him. What’s the adage when someone is always whining that everyone else is the problem? www.npr.org/2025/06/04/g...

Democratic politicians are embracing the Taco horseshit because it doesn’t cost them anything and they’re desperate to change the subject from their absolute refusal to actually fight or risk anything. After all these years I’m begging people to just see these things for what they are.

Taps the "Politico is owned by German Nazis" sign. Posting links to their articles is like posting links to the Daily Stormer

In a healthy White House, activists like Laura Loomer wouldn’t be let in the door. In this White House, she gets influential access to the president and vice president. Both parties have fringes, but only one party blurs the line between its fringe and its mainstream. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Also worth noting: if these "popularism" fetishists were serious, they'd put AOC, Sanders, and Warren in charge. They're the most popular Democrats in Congress right now. They should run everything, right? today.yougov.com/ratings/poli...

It might not have gotten through to Hawley, but this great line from @kateshaw.bsky.social really landed with the Hawley aide sitting behind his chart as she said it:

As always, Google Doc version of this is available, and you can send an email directly to Congress via @resist.bot by texting PFIUBW to 50409.

DC reporters have indicated there's some skepticism in Congress about putting their names on attacking Big Bird, so they may struggle to find the votes for this. Let's make it a little harder. Call your reps and tell them hell no to PBS, NPR and foreign aid cuts. Scripts/language here:

I say this all the time. I have sued every Administration since Clinton & could care less abt which political party is in power. Yet all I am is branded "anti-Trump" & partisan by MAGA bc of the cases I bring against him. Simple explanation: Trump does more bad acts deserving of challenge.

The thing to remember about Andrew Cuomo's breakfast order is that he resigned the governorship in disgrace after being credibly accused of sexually harassing at least 11 women with unwanted groping, kissing and sexual comments

Trump voters suspending their love of his cruelty because someone they know is suffering is sadly not scalable —

Important to remember that Cuomo resigned when a lengthy, detailed report on multiple varied instances of sexual misconduct was issued, and has never addressed several of the most serious charges.

These people are just wrong about literally everything.

💯💯💯 I still remember watching Princess Mononoke in theaters and gasping at the iron-infected mad forest god, multiple characters losing limbs, the gushing blood, stabbing, etc. It's not "The Disney of Japan" and it's ALWAYS WEIRD to see it referred to as such.

Don't forget — next Saturday, June 7, my frequent star Belinda Balaski and I will be on hand to fete the returns of Piranha (5:15 p.m.) and The Howling (7:30 p.m.) at the Lumiere Cinema At The Music Hall in Beverly Hills! shockagogo.com

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

It has been estimated that by eliminating programs like USAID and PEPFAR, the Trump administration has effectively killed 300,000 people Over 200,000 of them were children And if Republicans cut Medicaid as they’ve threatened, thousands will die in the US as well We MUST stop these ghouls

Post a banger that’s not in English… youtu.be/fU-wH8SrFro?...

It took only 8 years for solar to go from 100 to 1,000 TWh... then it took only 3 years to go from 1,000 to 2,000 TWh. Solar is growing faster than any source of electricity in history

One of my friends sent this to me and said “this looks like you when you are giving someone change when you’re tabling”

Not only are parks profitable, they inject billions to local economies and welcome 300+ million people a year. This is yet more wealth extraction to private interests not just from all of us as a nation but hundreds of communities and small businesses.
