Some guys compensate for their small peens with sports cars. Some with military parades on their birthdays. You know. Insecurity and all.

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 ✊

Trump’s America: — A sitting U.S. Senator cuffed by federal agents — Military in the streets — A birthday parade with tanks and jets — Threats to arrest political opponents Sound familiar? Yeah. Read this. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-mil...

i am not being pollyannish when i insist that the people who sign up do not sign up to advance a president’s domestic political agenda www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with “non-lethal” rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

The system is so broken that it views empathy as disobedience.

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

The most prominent criminals invading Los Angeles at the moment are the federal agents cosplaying as paramilitary and kidnapping without due process. Other than that? Weather’s nice, traffic is what it is, no real problems in need of federal force, thank you. POTUS’s description is unrecognizable.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Almost by definition, stable democracies do not allow agents of the state to operate under cover of concealment. Either that characterization is wrong - or we are no longer a stable democracy.

Now Hegseth is saying that the active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to come in if the National Guard isn’t enough. The U.S. government is ready to unleash our own military on civilians. It is definitely time to be frightened about what is happening here.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Excellent question.

Stephen Miller is very butthurt that he didn't win this round. Fascists are sore losers 🤷‍♀️

y'all we all know how serious the world is right now can the scolds for once just let people have a single fun day on the internet while the giant white manbabies have tantrums in public everyone knows how bad reality is and we are trying to not completely break down every day please be cool once

Now seems like a good time for me to remind everyone that they are not playing 4D chess, they are not Machiavellian geniuses, they are just this thick and narcissistic.

Oh no....oh my....I just got some weekend plans.....

I don't know about you, but I'm really enjoying the Leopards At My Face subreddit today. 🍿

this is just like the parable of the scorpion and the scorpion

Today's mood

Long have I waited for this day. 🍿

I cannot tell you how many fake Mark Hamill accounts have tried to follow me here on Bluesky (yes, I always report them). At least 7, no exaggeration. At this rate I think actual @markhamillofficial.bsky.social should follow me. Seems only fair. ;)
