They is us. We pay. Americans pay. This piece of shit.

This is the politicization of law enforcement. It's not about "immigration," it's about demonizing cities and winning elections

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

200,000 people were dressed as empty aluminum benches.

"Donald Trump has wrecked America’s brand. He’s made crossing over from Canada a betrayal, bordering on treason, while turning the U.S. into a laughingstock around the globe." @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

He threw his own birthday party, spent millions and millions of the American people’s money, and they still didn’t come.

Assassins dress like cops & the secret police wear masks and no ID

When you normalize political violence by pardoning Jan 6 attackers, can we be surprised when people target public officials? This is not how we resolve our disputes in America. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp-vid...

TODAY 6/14/25, we peacefully make our voices heard... NO KINGS!* 🇺🇸 *Also NO: CONVICTED FELONS/PATHOLOGICAL LIARS/DRAFT DODGERS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS/SHORT-FINGERED VULGARIANS/MALIGNANT NARCISSISTS & ANYONE WHO INCITED AN INSURRECTION IN AN ATTEMPTED COUP AGAINST HIS OWN COUNTRY a/k/a TRAITORS ✊

(🚨) BREAKING: Trump is now openly advocating for ethnic cleansing *inside the United States* via the ethnic-cleansing technique known as “remigration.” He admits that he’s not just speaking of “illegal aliens” but those with a criminal record who have “Third World” (in his usage, nonwhite) ancestry.

ICE had to use a new (to the public, anyway) term -- “noncriminal collaterals” -- bc Stephen Miller has spent so much time claiming that all migrants are criminals. And now the boss has told ICE they have to stop one of the things Miller's bile forced them to do. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...

Republicans really freaking out about these No Kings protests. Troops being deployed, organizers being investigated by DOJ, Luna calling for congressional hearings. Sheesh.

Phil Gordon, National Security Advisor to Vice President Kamala Harris.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

This is remarkably incoherent even for him. But I especially like the notion that these evil criminals are applying to pick crops and mop hotel bathrooms.

BREAKING: Massive numbers of people from Europe and Asia have canceled vacations to America because trump has made this a dangerous destination, a major blow to our tourism industry. Can't blame them. Stay away.

Double.

I guess if you train AI on the New York Times Pitchbot account it could write something like this

Shaheen: "Mr Secretary, you pointed out that javelins were given to Ukraine during the first Trump administration. But I would point out that he was impeached over holding up giving those javelins and equipment to Ukraine."

Worth reading and considering. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

As @samsteindc.bsky.social notes over on Xitter, the right wing is wailing bc Gavin Newsom is returning their bullshit.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Raise taxes for every American through tariffs on basic necessities, cut taxes on gun silencers and tanning beds. Republican priorities. bsky.app/profile/atru...

We could've had home care for seniors covered for those who need it. Instead we live in a police state.

@donwinslow.bsky.social nails it.

“Musk then rammed his shoulder into Bessent’s rib cage “like a rugby player,” Bannon said, and Bessent hit him back.” Totally unserious people.

The Republican Party has fully embraced fascism and destroyed American democracy. But AOC said the girls are fighting. I have never felt more politically homeless.

It appears the peace treaty hasn’t been negotiated yet.

MAGA is feverishly figuring out if they're on Team Ketamine or Team Epstein.

Billionaire children having a hissy fit. Embarrassing.

Pure coincidence

💯 this

💯💯💯

Watching Trump and Elon fall out is like watching two thieves argue over who got caught on camera. Newsflash: it was both of y’all.

A live look at America right now

Donald, without Elon, you wouldn't be President now. You'd be a Prisoner.

jilted lover vibes lol

Did Trump and Vance say thank you to Musk for winning the election for them?

For the life of me I cannot figure out why Donald Trump is trying to destroy higher education

Why is the American president repeating Russian threats without comment?

Trump’s Brownshirts
