I hope this lady has the day she deserves… (a trip to Disney World, champagne, abundance of her favorite food, winning the lottery, hugs from everyone she’s ever loved, etc)

Look, I don’t much care what Tulsi Gabbard says either, but here’s the thing: I didn’t appoint her to be my Director of National Intelligence.

hes going to drop the bunker bomb and further put us in the middle of this fucking war bc the adults have left the room and this fucking nut job and his sycophants think war is a game to text each other about.

A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you. Who’s actually in charge?

I thought it was going to be Mint Mobile knock off, but it’s also somehow an iPhone 8 knock off?

ICE is partnering with states to ramp up raids & deportations. Is your state cooperating?

They got him! Vance Boelter, the suspect in the #assassination and attempted assassination of two #Minnesota lawmakers, is in custody according to The Associated Press.

ICE raiding a crowded supermarket in Rosemead, California with no identification, indistinguishable from cartel hitmen, pulling high caliber rifles on unarmed US citizens trying to ask questions about wtf is going on. #3E #StopICE

the Times got this right

Yet another excellent movie my students loved.

TCIB (This Cop Is Based)

Excited to see that black people performing country music are only eligible for 3/5ths of a Grammy

Fuck these incel cosplaying dumbfuck losers

Trump: "Russia fought with us in WWII and everybody hates them. And Germany and Japan, they're fine — some day somebody will explain that...Everybody hates Russia and they love Germany and Japan...It's a strange world."

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

I can’t wait. I enlightened all the teenagers across six classes to the satirical delight of Spaceballs the last week of school. And now… something for future teenagers to enjoy at the end of school- Spaceballs II

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

STARTING NOW:

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. My Senator was put on the ground and arrested for asking questions. This is tyranny.

Sen. Cory Booker: When you see a democratic nation having their executive begin to arrest mayors, begin to arrest judges, begin to arrest a United States senator who was simply asking for answers to their questions [...] this is something that we should not tolerate.

Former ABC News correspondent and anchor Terry Moran has joined Substack. He says he can’t wait to “get at the important work that we all have to do at a time of such trouble in our country.” bit.ly/3HAX77o

LOS ANGELES (AP) — National Guard troops are now protecting ICE agents as they make arrests in LA.

BREAKING: Terry Moran is out at ABC News. "We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew," an ABC spokesperson says.

This is not a good sign.

These 75 Democrats joined Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE agents and call for greater local and state collaboration with ICE. jonathancohn.medium.com/a-tale-of-tw...

One of the people who received this amnesty is my student’s grandfather. His grandfather had a framed photo of Reagan in his home until he died, and he left it, along with his prized accordion, to his grandson when he passed.

A herring is a fish. When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells. It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail. Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

Hamilton is still spectacular. i said what i said. #TonyAwards

As always, the problem with Hamilton is it really is just that fucking good

In a world full of Stephen Millers, be a Terry Moran.

leftist police departments like the LAPD

Governor Newsom: "I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops ... and return them to my command. ... This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed." The letter:

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

The illegitimate, lawless, and authoritarian regime in control of the government of the United States is at war with the people of the United States.

The California National Guard just tear-gassed and fired impact munitions at reporters, children, and community leaders. Multiple injuries. National Guard has now declared an "unlawful assembly" on the streets. Not clear whether NG has legal authority to enforce that far away from federal buildings.

We hope that you choke That you choke We hope that you choke That you choke We hope that you choke That you choke

ICE crossed a line in LA

Let’s be very clear: Los Angeles is the perfect place for this to play out for the Trumpists. The Trumpists hate California and hate Los Angeles and a vast amount of their base feels the same — even the Trumpists here, who wallow in hating the place they live. /1

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer 3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator. Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic. Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

This is political theater with the threat of state violence, using brown bodies and protestors as the scapegoats.
