The idea that the Vice President and official Dept of Homeland Security both indicated they would look into this guy underlines the selective use of prosecutorial powers. Musk's brother has said they were in the US illegally and Musk appears to have broken drug laws, but no investigations there.

Peanut says hello

Donald’s ego trip sending Marines without even calling the correct governor exposes presidential chaos, stupidity, and a contempt for constitutional norms; America’s democracy teeters on the brink, and this fucking clown just pushed it closer to collapse. www.rawstory.com/new...

Uber app deleted while saying fuck you. BOYCOTT ALERT 🔔 Nothing like having family that FLED another country, making billions here and turning on the American people propping up a dictator — CEO Dara Khosrowshahi of Uber also sits on the board of Hotels dot com and BET dot com. Fuck them, too.

Remember: "Free speech" is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

When they say, "THE PARADE IS NOT FOR HIS BIRTHDAY!" Say, "Oh, is it to celebrate the opening of the Epstein files?"

Our press, once the one of the best in the world, has fully abdicated its duty to us and have fully embraced being the media wing of the oligarchy. Avoid them. Fuck them. If you talk to them, and you shouldn’t, mock them for both siding fascism.

There's a real attentional trap that all protest movements face and have faced for a long time. If you pull off protests that are polite and civil, even if large, they will struggle to get coverage. Reporters will dismiss them as not newsworthy.

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

I just don’t think there’s been enough attention to this. Chancellor Merz is beyond shady here - and for a good cause. And Trump’s reaction - as though proof of his very recent immigrant roots is almost like kryptonite - reveals much about how to confront Trump about his actions against migrants.

URGENT: ICE Arrests Happening Now at Concord Immigration Court   ICE agents are at the Concord Immigration Court RIGHT NOW detaining community members who are attending their hearings.     Concord Immigration Court - 1855 Gateway Blvd, Concord, CA 94520 5 TODAY – Show up as soon as you can 10:30am

Super late to the party on this, but I don’t think it matters what kind of bullets that cop shot the Australian reporter with. Cops have no business shooting reporters in the first place.

Stephen Miller represents everything vile about this administration and drawing more attention to him will (a) make it harder for the administration to pretend this isn't creepy white nationalism in action and (b) likely make Trump jealous to the point he shitcans him like Elon. Win-win.

A lot of people today would turn in Anne Frank, and it’s not only MAGA.

How many people will die because of the rank stupidity, arrogance and folly of these three men?

The media has repeatedly and disproportionately elevated voices who were wrong on Iraq, wrong on 2016, and wrong on pointing to the authoritarianism of this moment. Anyone wondering where the trust went might want to consider doing things differently and trying new voices/perspctives in the future.

Joe Biden:4 years of never even thinking about what he's upto,sleeping like a Baby. Donald Trump:Violence, protesters, crashing the Economy, he's going to invade every goddamn neighbour, World hates us, Trade-War,Insider trading, Threats, Extortion, Lawlessness,Tourism is down. Are we great yet?

For those only watching through a camera lens, this is tiny crowd no need for activating 700 Marines.

Fox is trying to prove Newsom is lying with a call record 2 days old (6/7 instead of 6/9) and the world's fakest-looking iPhone screencap.

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but the Speaker of the House calling for the Governor of California to be tortured seems like it should be a pretty big story.

Agree with this. Either a majority or big plurality are already unhappy about this needless troop deployments. Now setting up for a boffo totally unprecedented domestic display of military power and priming to unleash troops on anyone who says it’s not awesome.

WSJ, Stephen Miller ordered ICE to shift their focus from targeting only serious criminals to arresting undocumented immigrants more broadly, based on looks and accents. Specifically, he instructed agents to concentrate on locations like Home Depot and 7-Eleven stores. #MillerStartedThis

I’m not even joking when I say that X is radicalizing our entire generation of journalists.

Man, fuck this guy. What a disappointment.

Great use of taxpayer funds.

Trump and his allies turned to a familiar script over the weekend, casting the sprawling city of Los Angeles in shades of fire and brimstone, a hub of dangerous lawlessness that required urgent military intervention in order to be contained. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"Ferguson said that the FTC's job is to protect vulnerable consumers and that this includes children. Protecting kids online will inevitably involve everyone giving up more personal information, he suggested... It's a funny agenda item for an agency ostensibly concerned with consumer privacy."

This is upsetting.

Remember when RFK Jr. promised Sen. Bill Cassidy that he would not fire the CDC vaccine advisory panel? Guess what: www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...

So many of our loudest First Amendment enthusiasts have no idea that freedom of assembly is right there in it, on equal footing with freedom of the press or freedom of religion

I wrote about how Trump is using authoritarianism to distract from all of his losses last week www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

The Georgia Supreme Court ruled that the Republican-led State Elections Board exceeded its authority in passing a handful of controversial anti-voting rules last year. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Sorry, I’m not listening to folks who criminalize immigrants while voting for a criminal…

@greenhousemd.bsky.social

So now that we’ve seen the real tapper he won’t be moderating any debates, right?

Republicans constantly attacked Merrick Garland for prosecuting violent J6ers instead of peaceful George Floyd protestors. GOP senators even blocked US Atty nominations for most of 2021 (including in DC, which delayed the J6 Trump probe). Expect Bondi to go after peaceful protestors hard.

They are using immigration to shoot at and lock up reporters, prosecute members of the opposition and union leaders

Women of NYC - Andrew Cuomo is STILL everything that ended up making him resign. What are you doing??? A serial groper winning with old, uneducated I get. But women and black/Latino? Wtf?

Someone go change the channel on Marsha’s TV

Kristi Noem: "In LA, what we're been going after is the worst of the worst. They're murderers." [Kristi Noem then raids a Home Depot to arrest people just looking to help with home improvement jobs.] Trump people lie so effortlessly and often.

what i like about this post is it is an illustration of one of the most distinctive qualities of williams' work and mainstream punditry in general, which is a belief that history began a decade ago
