Hard to overstate the degree to which there appears to be literally no one in the president's current circle who has any experience, even at a low level, managing ANY kind of national security crisis or even situation. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/thoug...

This is absolutely disgraceful conduct for a Deputy Prime Minister. #nzpol

This, ladies & gentlemen, is fascism. Brad Lander is the NYC Comptroller & a NYC mayoral candidate. He has been manhandled & detained by ICE. Call your 2 Senators & representative at 202-224-3121 demand Congressional oversight immediately. If it can happen to him, it can surely happen to you.

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Trump displays his disturbing ignorance of recent history, unaware that Putin was "thrown out of the G8" because of his invasion and annexing of Crimea, and brags that Putin only "speaks to me." Staggering stupidity.

🤬🤬🤬🤬

Māori+ played a documentary last week called Everybody’s Oma & I’ve just finished watching it & have cried buckets. It’s about a son & his wife & family in Australia, caring for their Oma who developed Alzheimer’s. I rarely use FB so never knew this existed 💔

We have communicated our intense concerns to the CEO and Editor-in-Chief of RNZ one last time. www.rightsaotearoa.nz/giving-rnz-o...

MAGA is trying to deny that THIS happened yesterday — well here’s some receipts fuckheads!p

Facts matter.

BREAKING: President Donald Trump directs federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities after large protests erupted in Los Angeles and other major cities against his administration’s immigration policies.

Finally we get to hear the voice of the trans teen who died, whose transphobic parents completely controlled his narrative in that appalling RNZ article last week. We hear you, Alex. www.webworm.co/p/lifeanddea...

Leonard Lauder was one of the people responsible for bringing Donald Trump to the USSR on July 4, 1987. Trump has long been close with the Lauder family. From my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT:

I doubt anyone will see me post, but this needs to be known... if you have a visible following please repost 💙🔥💙 Admitting he wants "his people... aka US " to behave like north Korea for Kim Jong Un.🤬

I live in rural America in a "constitutional carry" state. Armed men with guns showed up to intimidate protestors at yesterday's event. Their Facebook posts are filled with comments about how liberals are "evil" or "demons" or "marxists" or "pedophiles." This is language used to justify violence.

Bizarrely, it appears that Trump’s nominee to lead the FAA has been lying about holding a commercial pilot license www.politico.com/news/2025/06... #aviation

These are the facts The Minnesota shooter: 1) Preached anti-gay/trans hate speech. 2) Was a registered Republican since at least 2004. 3) Had a hit list with over 70 abortion rights activists and healthcare providers. 4) Voted for Donald Trump.

Let's check out some #NoKings front page headlines. South Florida Sun Sentinel:

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Since April 8, I've been demanding Noem's immediate resignation.    If she doesn't, I am ready to take further action against her abuses of power.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

LMFAO 😂 it’s zero people for the 🤡 clown show.

🔴Raining on His Parade: Trump's Military Blunder A clear majority of Americans are opposed to the US President’s army parade, and his handling of immigration and the economy, reports Martin Burns bylinetimes.com/2025/06/12/r...

Huge thanks to @anniewaldman.bsky.social and @propublica.org for shining a light on these terminations. These terminations are a major blow professionally. But they'll wreak far more havoc on the health and livelihood of so many humans.

"The HHS document says that another paper it cites found 'an increase in placental blood clotting in pregnant mothers who took the vaccine.' But the paper doesn't contain any reference to placental blood clots or to pregnant women." www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

Moe Tkacik has traced the Air India plane to a terrible-quality run of Boeings that have started failing all over the place, but that managers under the new low-quality Boeing era pushed through production anyway because "none of these planes are staying in America, they’re all going overseas".

“The fact this bill, with its anti-democratic aspects and lack of an electoral mandate, is in front of a select committee demonstrates why constitutional reform to protect citizens from executive overreach is urgently needed.” Newsroom is on fire today. #nzpol

This is profoundly shortsighted. Monitoring saves lives. Money too, if that’s what you care about! Remember that glacier collapse in Switzerland a few days ago? The village was evacuated in time precisely because of work like this. #DRR

🚨 BREAKING: Trump admin refuses to release Mahmoud Khalil, despite judge's order

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

Had a cute birthday lunch today with oldest grandson at Lower Grounds cafe at the Sign of the Takahe in Õtautahi. Then a drive over the hill and round the bays (which put him to sleep) and back to his preschool. Followed by lovely French Canadian movie 'All Stirred Up' at Silky Otter with hubs.
