It was the honor of a lifetime to speak at the historic San Diego #NoKings march today. Here are two short clips, with my gratitude. 1 of 2:

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers β€œvoted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

This.

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

The first known detention by the US Marines in their recent Los Angeles deployment is of... a US Army veteran on his way to an office at the Department of Veteran Affairs building. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

The MAGA propaganda machine is hard at work blaming Democrats for this. They did their own research again. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Today is the wake-up call to Trump's dream of using the military against Americans who don't support him. It's not like he's been hiding it. Now it's up to us to show him how we feel about it. www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Folly. Look it up. chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-folly-...

Corey Lewandowski intervened to release Sen. Padilla from handcuffs and a couple other things about Noem's presser you may not have noticed: www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/13/t...

Payment in crypto!

Newsom: "The notion that the US active duty Marines, these heroes, would be used to militarized the streets of an American city is an abomination. The Founding Fathers did not live and die to see that happen in this country for no reason whatsoever than vanity."

It's all about money. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/w...

National Guard personnel pulled into LA risks literal California firestorms. Because you can't be in two places at once. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/12/s...

This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.

I agree with The Boss πŸ’― #BruceSpringsteen

@governor.ca.gov pulled no punches in his speech last night. Democracy dies when we stay silent. It’s time to stand up, speak out, and reclaim our power. πŸ—³οΈβœŠ Your voice. Your vote. Your duty. #DemocratsAbroad #DemocracyInAction #WeThePeople

A perfect spew of propaganda! Congrats

Newsom: Trump, he's not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him. What more evidence do we need than January 6th?

A lie? His lips were moving.

The opposite of Joe Rogan is MSNBC. Or if you need a face, Rachel Maddow. Brains over brawn. What weird soup the right-wing podcasters live in! This article captures the zeitgeist of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/o...

Fuck You Karolying πŸ˜‘πŸ–•

For the first time in my life, we have a president who actually loathes at least half of the American people

If MyPillowGuy Mike Lindell loses his election rigging defamation trial in Denver, this will be the day that did it. And the witness who sealed his fate? Himself.

How dare we ?

"Deploying the Marines fits the performative needs of our childish commander-in-chief. But it also fits the deadly serious agenda of our authoritarian commander-in-chief. By deploying active-duty military here at home, Trump will have crossed yet another red line." www.thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-is-...

BREAKING Truth: The situation in LA.

That's OK. The fewer dogs in Iran, the fewer will go after the nuclear detonation that seems increasingly more likely there. Not to be a downer or anything. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/w...

It's a Joe McCarthy-era loyalty oath: Are you now or have you ever been a Democrat? And don't bother asking: "Have you no shame?" Because the answer clearly is "no." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...

Newt Gingrich, who supercharged American politics with polarizing language and insult, is still yapping on? He wouldn't know honor and honesty if he tripped over it. www.rawstory.com/biden-autopen/

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« Let’s NOT FORGET that Trump asked his previous SECRETARY of DEFENSE if he could just SHOOT PROTESTERS. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Trump's chaos is a carefully crafted smokescreen, designed to distract from his catastrophic policies and plunge us into darkness. #FreedomToDissent #Demcast #ProudBlue

Trump has made the presidency into a cruel game, where he calls the shots. He lives in the feedback loop of media coverage. America to Trump is a reality show. And supporters still cling to him. It's incomprehensible. Sorry, Kentucky. You are part of the problem. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

Privatization and the dismantling of gov't mean that "fewer will have more" www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Trump's personal wealth has doubled since the start of his 2024 campaign. And the dominoes that protect our republic are falling one by one. Keep track. Protest loudly. And take our country back, because it belongs to us. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/o...

Stephen Miller's plan: 1) Ratchet up raids on peaceful people to hit impossible quotas; 2) Use protests against that invasion to invade a blue city; 3) Point to the chaos created by ICE raids to demand passage of the Big Ugly bill, which codifies that chaos. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/08/t...

For those who want to get into the weeds: a review of the indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Whose guilt or innocence has nothing to do with the due process every person deserves. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/07/t...

You probably know someone who Trump wants to disappear. wapo.st/3Hs6XZb

WATCH: 107 years old. A Tulsa massacre survivor tells Congress: β€œI still smell smoke. I still see fire.” She watched her town burn. A century later, she’s still begging America to care. 🧠 ERASED reveals the truth they buried. πŸ“– Read it. Share it. Never forget: stan.store/gxldsociety/...
