Literally the Russian flag in the post. Two of them

#protestsigns

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Massive crowd in San Diego for #NoKings

Happening now: a massive crowd growing in Chicago for this afternoon's No Kings march. We'll update as we can. Service is spotty right now.

In 8 consecutive tests Tesla Full Self-Driving 13.2.9 ran down child mannequins while illegally blowing past a stopped school bus during our live FSD demo with #TeslaTakedown and #ResistAustin in Austin. We’ve warned Tesla for 2.5 years. They’ve done nothing. Why isn’t somebody in jail?

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Why is the MAGA NYT saying they were "shot"? They were "ASSASSINATED". 😡😡😡😡😡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

ICYMI — Some harsh self-criticism here: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.” (He was talking about Obama 😬)

It turns out that racism is not as popular as centrist intellectuals insisted that it is.

The head of the FDA tells us they're taking a look at the dietary guidelines and that the food pyramid is out. The food pyramid has not been in use since 2011 when MyPlate replaced it.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

Nobody still believes ICE is going after violent criminals… right? 📌 On Tuesday, ICE agents raided a massive meatpacking plant in Omaha, Nebraska—rounding up dozens of suspected undocumented workers. The largest worksite immigration sweep in the state under Trump’s second term. This is about fear.

Nothing like Kristi Noem dismissing Padilla as “political theater.”

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Double.

This data from Arbor backs up what American Express’s CFO said yesterday: European outbound travel to the US is notably weak. $AXP $XAL

REED: Are you confident that no information has been exported from the Treasury Department by DOGE personnel? BESSENT: Not to my knowledge REED: Have you investigated it? BESSENT: We have strict protocols around that so there's no reason to believe there was

BEYER: Isn't this embarrassing? BESSENT: You seem not to have seen the economic data. GDP growth has been quite substantial BEYER: GDP growth is half what it was last year, sir BESSENT: Job growth is solid BEYER: Job growth is a third what it was last year, sir

Oops. There's that pesky truth again.

Ouch — California’s Governor Newsom drops the mic on Arkansas’ Governor Sanders (Related: So is Tennessee’s)

“Very strongly” “Very heavy force” “Very powerfully” "Very big force" Trump has the vocabulary of a 5 year old.

The Purpose of Trump's Terror: What Trump Wants In LA Is Blood "The goal isn’t to scare off a few undocumented gardeners and housekeepers or terrify asylum-seeking mothers. It’s to normalize the idea that active-duty troops can be used on American streets against American citizens." bit.ly/4dYG8Ig

Kristi Noem: "In LA, what we're been going after is the worst of the worst. They're murderers." (They literally raided a Home Depot.)

Meanwhile in Russia, Ukrainian drones destroyed a factory producing military equipment in Cheboksary, more than 1,000 km from the Ukrainian border.🇺🇦

For the Marines, this is ridiculous. Traditionally, you don’t call the Marines bc another FedGov agency went full fash and bit off way more than they could chew in their sissy little mouths. Traditionally, *this* is why you call the Marines:

The only people complaining about Bluesky are corporate media opinion columnists who have a 200,000 followers on X and 800 here. “Please go back to X!” No, fuck you lol.

The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This 147-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both Democracy and Personal Liberty.
