BREAKING: It appears that ICE may have conducted a hit and Run in Los Angeles in the last hour. krassencast.com/p/breaking-a...

The clip that best sums up the spirit driving the American government right now…

Now, that's how you clear a bitch! 🤣

“.. Jesus, that ear. He should donate it to the Smithsonian. .. He made all his records with four tracks, but you couldn't make his records if you had a hundred tracks today.” - Bob Dylan, on Brian Wilson #RIP “Good Vibrations” (1966)

I agree with the Commander who wrote this—sending active-duty Marines into LA under the present circumstances crosses a line. It’s dangerous, demoralizing, and sets a terrible precedent. This isn’t strength. It’s recklessness. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/06/10/t...

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Harry Enten: "This is definitely one of Trump's worst polls. Just horrible across the board. Net approval -16 pts. Oof. Opposition to the Big, Beautiful Bill. Just bad stuff all around." poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

The real reason the police dislike firefighters, they're jealous.

There are no orders for these troops, they are operating illegally and they don’t even know it. We need to educate them! Posse Comitatus Act prevents our military from acting in this capacity the only way troops can interact with civilians is if you invoke the Insurrection Act.

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

Gavin Newsom’s bullseye: “I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress, and fear. But I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give into him.”

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

In the next civil war, "the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other." - Ulysses S. Grant, 1875

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

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

“They were really counting on the American people having a kind of bloodlust — about immigrants .. in particular. And the American people don’t have that bloodlust. In fact, what they have is empathy. .. And a willingness to stand up ..” @maddow.msnbc.com @katiephang.bsky.social @acyn.bsky.social

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Look out Donald, an actual billionaire is now out to get you.

I hear they even have food vendors. 🤤

My strong instinct is that Trump's threats against Americans' first amendment right to peaceably assemble is going to massively juice attendance at Saturday's protests. www.nokings.org

(WSJ) - Several U.S. government agencies in 2022 and 2023 tracked foreign nationals coming and going to Elon Musk’s properties, according to people familiar with the matter. @wsj.com $TSLA www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

The GOP Tax Scam will rip healthcare away from 16 million everyday Americans in order to reward their billionaire donors. There are 53 Republicans in the Senate. We only need four to join us and we can stop the one big ugly bill from ever becoming law.

People who follow me probably don't need this reminder, but y'all may want to grab the link & post this in other threads, The gap between Mark Esper & Pete Hegseth is huge. Hegseth is a joke, a weak man.

In other words, Trump is actually inflicting this needlessly on members of the military. We should understand it in those terms, as an act of malevolence and depravity *toward them* as well.

So-called “less-lethal” weapons like those that have been used against demonstrators in Los Angeles can cause severe, lasting harm like nerve or brain damage or blindness. They can also kill. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

George Galloway, Jeffrey Sachs, Alex Jones, Elon Musk's father -- an open list of some of Moscow's most successful political prostitution projects.

If you think the deployment in Los Angeles is a one-off, think again. This is a test balloon—and the plan’s already drafted. Trump’s team, Heritage Foundation operatives, shadow legal warriors—they’ve been rehearsing this power grab for years. Now they’re pressing play. Watch what comes next.

Tim Miller: "The ICE raids are not happening at Donald Trump's golf courses or in deep red parts of the country. These raids are happening in blue cities... That shows just how much they want this fight."

Rick Scott accusing people of Medicare fraud is something else, man.

All this because Trump’s ex sugar daddy said he was in the secret Epstein files?

RFK Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic who has trafficked in conspiracy theories, purges all 17 members of an advisory committee on immunization to the CDC as he continues to upend scientific conventions. @apoorvanyt.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

GOV. NEWSOM: “Trump is reckless, immoral, a stone cold liar… he’s taking unconstitutional actions and putting lives at risk. These are acts of authoritarians.”

Protesters being arrested in Dallas now

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

“Currently, there is no plan for where everyone is sleeping tonight,” the source said, adding that there was an urgent need to find more portable bathrooms and dumpsters for garbage.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Another hero is born.

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.
