Important read. Trump's BBB legislation would create American brownshirts "what is the next thing they need to achieve their agenda?” What they need is a loyal private army. And that is what they’re building"

The New York Times was asked "Which constitutes more government experience? 5 years as a state assemblyman or being a hedge fund manager?" and somehow came to the conclusion that managing rich people's money counted more for government service than literal government service

BREAKING: Israeli airstrike hits Iranian state media

good on NPR for reporting this, and for listing some key examples

"President Trump is the only world leader who can stop this cycle of escalation from expanding." www.democracynow.org/2025/6/16/ir...

And still, organizations like the NYT will not use "lie" in headlines or throughout the many stories where it's appropriate. P.S. If you're lucky enough to not know who Katie Miller is, she's Mrs. Stephen Miller. She now works directly for Musk.

Trump already assisting Israel's war on Iran

🚨BREAKING: Associated Press reports at least 38 Palestinians have been shot dead on Monday near U.S.- and Israeli-controlled GHF food distribution centers, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. VIDEO: Gunfire rings out as civilians leave U.S. aid distribution centers in southern Gaza.

You don’t need a big 3-dimensional-chess brain to discern the aspiration here: - escalate armed raids on migrant-dense communities - provoke a response as communities defend themselves - use that response as pretext to crack down and even suspend rights/guarantees for broader political opposition

He’s gonna send the troops into our cities to create violence as a pretense for shooting us to control the violence.

Sick footage of yesterday at the waterfront. Look at all of us. I love this weird city that I got dragged to and then almost lost my mind then got abandoned and discarded in. Genuinely. Meeting the good people who helped me here and all the trans folx who care helped me get stronger. Ty PDX.

A lot has happened this week. While the big rallies dominate headlines, we'll most remember this one brave protester who singlehandedly stopped a kidnapping van from returning to immigration court. Just a profoundly important thing to witness in all the noise.

Today, over 100,000 Dutch citizens formed a red line in The Hague to protest against the violence in Gaza and the Dutch cabinet’s stance on Israel’s war crimes. Prime Minister Schoof refuses to draw a red line — so the people drew it themselves.

The bleakest timeline.

The crowd was so large that the front group crossed the Hawthorne Bridge, looped up Southeast Grand Avenue, and returned over the Morrison Bridge — while those in the rear had yet to reach the Hawthorne Bridge.

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

Earlier, federal agents shot a protester in the eye. Vincent is an ER nurse and said he came to the protest at the ICE facility in South Portland after a shift. Other protesters called an ambulance for him, but he had to walk several blocks to meet it, due to the munitions still flying.

If you go to a protest at ICE, wear protection because they’re shooting people in the face with pepper balls

Repeated tear gas, flash bangs, and less lethal munitions at ICE facility in South Portland. The protesting crowds scatter and then return with homemade shields.

I was on Manuel Rapalo's show, The Take, on the Al Jazeera English podcast to discuss the situation in LA after the weekend ICE raids. youtu.be/2x3MYZ2Qj8Y?...

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.

Portland, Oregon #NoKings

Millions protesting today. TV networks are doing wall-to-wall coverage of this sparsely attended Trump parade

Ariel view of thousands of protesters marching against Donald Trump in Downtown Los Angeles #NoKingsProtest

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

This is the America worth fighting for.

Look at downtown LA right now

3,000+ at No Kings in Greenville SC

No Kings. Place De la Bastille Paris

Juneau turns out big! With a population of only 32,000 residents the state capitol of Alaska even Republicans are turning out! I estimate the turnout to be close to 2,000+. No police, no ICE and no MAGA hats or flags. And No violence.

Surreal to hear a “No Kings” chant reverberate through the concrete canyons of #Chicago

this was my favorite sign from today
