This is sickening

Perhaps they should look into a different profession. Taxpayers shouldn't be expected to pay for the 6-figure equivalent of doormats. We're pissed!

Really? This is where we are now? And now SCOTUS would be fine with them sending this guy to South Sudan.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

I approve of this message. #BeKind

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

This goes hard, but the metaphor is on point

FL Republican Kat Cammack voted to take away reproductive rights from women, but then had an ectopic pregnancy and suffered severe pain for hours begging for care that she glibly and happily denied to other women. So on brand for a GOP. Empathy deficient. It only matters if it happens to THEM

If Kat Cammack weren’t a Congresswoman she’d be dead. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

They think they are better than the rest of us and that their flavor of religion is the right one. All that babbling nonsense is so performative.

First day of the first summer heat wave and the power is already out in Delco and may be for another 9 hours #ClimateCrisis

My advice for news coverage of the U.S. war with Iran: / No oohs and aahs about the military technology. / Don’t believe anything the Trump regime says. / Beware of irrational optimism. / Serve the public and the truth by making war look as ugly as it is.

This is the cruel shit that Trump spends time and energy on. Because he is a malignant narcissist in the nadir of his life of greed and crime.

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well. We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

Sometimes I wish I could be like this. My lifelong friend Michelle never thinks about any of the shit that torments my soul.

No more poor kids dying for coward politicians. Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan, Mike Johnson, Nancy Mace, MTG— You want war? You start it, you fight it. Put your body where your vote is.

So, for Trump’s circle jerk participants (Rubio, Vance, etc) who ran to the Sunday shows pronouncing that bombing Iran is the final word and we won’t get dragged into this conflict, I look forward to their next stream of lies online and to the media.

I hope Massie doesn’t give into this demand for total fealty. Is any other Republican even remotely close to showing evidence of a having a spine?

Add “Duh” and “nobody listened to me when I said…” to the list of truly annoying comments.

If you plan to visit the US, don't. It is not safe to visit the US and you face being randomly detained, kidnapped, beaten, and / or killed by the regime. It's not worth the trip. Stay home.

J.D. Vance insisting we’re not at war with Iran is like a bad boyfriend saying, “No, I didn’t cheat on you. I just slept with a lot of people… that weren’t you.” Sir. Please.

People speaking in tongues outside the White House this morning is far more normal than what goes on inside the buildings.

Chairman Mao is posting and seems agitated this morning

people who are desperate to be important are so goddamn dangerous

Markwayne is a petite lying moron

This is: - a lie, as an empirical assessment (to distract from the illegality of what Trump is doing) - propaganda, as a political statement (to obscure what’s happening for the base) - a window into how MAGA conceives of foreign policy: “We get to hit you, you simply take it, we declare victory.”

🤷🏼‍♀️

Remember: Everything for him is about getting face time on TV looking tough. Reality and consequences don’t matter.

The homeland threat is higher, though Iran will more likely focus its efforts on American interests abroad. Still, the Department of Homeland Security has focused almost exclusively on ICE deportation efforts and has let our cybersecurity and counterterrorism efforts eviscerate. @cnn.com

Even with everything else going on, I am still fixated on this obscenely terrible and dangerous headline from the Washington Post. Do they really believe that Democrats are looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed and arrested or are they sucking up to their billionaire owner?

He’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes

We are being lied to

GOP Members of Congress fall into line on whatever Trump asks. Partly because they agree but also because they fear a MAGA terrorist will kill them and their families for opposing Trump. That is how fascist movements keep discipline.

the amount of contempt vance has for everyone he's talking to — such that he'll say obvious nonsense as if he's fooling you — is genuinely remarkable

Schiff: "It's not an operation that should've ever been authorized by the president in the absence of intelligence showing that Iran had made the decision to break out and build a bomb."

Take note.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

NEW: VoteVets Responds to Trump’s Illegal Strikes on Iran

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

The only thing House Republicans can be relied upon to do is consistently rubber stamp Donald Trump’s extreme agenda.

really great how swiftly Trump & co have made the U.S. a shithole country that can't even suspend the routine for five minutes for international visitors, like plenty of repressive regimes are able to pull off all the time
