They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

Fucking nuts. Fuck everyone who voted for Cheetolini and his fucking fascist administration. Fuck everyone normalizing this shit.

I’d rather have Westboro Baptists protesting my morning constitutionals than watch ICE manhandle one more innocent human.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Los Angeles school worker shares frustration over parents having to leave their children’s graduation ceremony because ICE raided an elementary school’s graduation today

Still LA, ICE is gathered again to start another operation after tear gassing civilians for hours at Paramount. A massive ICE presence stands across the street from civilians. This is live right now.

If ICE agents have families who haven’t convinced them to get out of the child snatching profession, then they can get bent too.

if you are an ICE agent, ICE sympathizer, ICE equivocator, ICE-adjacent, or you feel anything but burning rage in the pit of your stomach towards ICE, unfollow and/or block me now. you are among the world’s worst scumbags and do not deserve oxygen, let alone the ability to read my good posts

Don't look away. This is happening.

White flight ☠️😂

Sure looks like the war against Americans has started. When will the killing begin? Perhaps Kent State is too long ago to remember? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

We are asked to believe the chambermaids & the dishwashers & the radish-pickers & the cow-milkers trying to find in America what many of our forebears came for… are a greater danger to America than the child rapist grifting felon in the White House & an apartheid-loving sociopath stealing our data?

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

Whether or not it is codified in what becomes of recorded U.S. history, I and many of my fellow Black Americans will forever appreciate President Biden’s decision not to run for the re-election [he likely would have won] as one of the single most patriotic presidential acts in U.S. history. 🇺🇸

The UK’s corrupt, billionaire-controlled media is the problem.

Glad to see the Florida Bar is finally disciplining Lucius Malfoy AKA Pam Bondi. That corrupt blonde fascist fuck’s had it coming. As AG, she ditched any pretense of independence to blow smoke up Dear Leader’s ass. Did her brother succeed in taking over the D.C. Bar Association? I sure hope not.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Sheriffs are hugely important to Trump’s mass deportation plan. They’ve lately been rushing to partner with ICE. So we really should talk about ways in which Democrats are *not* fighting back against growing sheriff-ICE cooperation. I have a story out today on this: boltsmag.org/sheriff-elec...

Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.

This is a worthy effort.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

Word of the Day

Didn’t realize this was a prophecy.

I don't begrudge anyone their popcorn posting (& many of you are making me laugh), but does anyone else share my sense of exhaustion that our timelines are about to be EVEN MORE dominated by the two dumb, mean, ugly, racist men we already have to look at & think about all day every day?

When your massive ego gets you to announce something a more careful person would have kept quiet.

I'm sorry, as much as I am enjoying this spat, how can you take seriously someone who spent 100s of millions of dollars electing Trump, then went to work for Trump, left government just days ago praising Trump, and is now calling for Trump's impeachment. Just unserious people.

Elon Musk, the genius visionary who could not predict that the guy who has betrayed every person he has ever met would betray him

Why was the Pentagon calling Elon Musk from a Paris hotel to avert disaster in Ukraine? A billionaire with alleged drug use, contractor ties, and elite sway, his grip on US policy, as @ronanfarrow.bsky.social reported, was “brazen and expansive.” #ProudBlue

The Trump administration announced Tuesday it will revoke a federal policy that required hospitals to provide emergency abortions when necessary to stabilize a woman’s medical condition. We will be allowed to die.

This. So much. I totally agree with this guy.

Republicans are loving that we’re stuck talking in circles about Joe Biden. Democrats need to snap out of it and get laser-focused on what actually matters to folks right now: rising costs, a shaky economy, soaring rent, unaffordable groceries, and attacks on Medicaid.

So we have a head of FEMA who doesn’t know about hurricanes, a head of EPA who walked back his views on climate change, a head of HHS who says he can’t give medical advice, & a president who doesn’t know corruption is wrong. Are you feeling great again yet, America?

Lawrence: That is the budgetary cycle we've been in since the 1980s. Republican presidents increased the deficits. Democratic presidents from Bill Clinton forward come into office and reduce the deficits created by the Republican presidents.

This is the way

Today I saw the executive director of the American Enterprise Institute attempt to address a conference room full of leaders of state human services agencies and I have never seen a speaker more reviled. Big swaths of the audience (myself included) simply walked out because he was such an asshole.

Good
