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

Must Read: In federalizing the California National Guard over the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), Trump is asserting broad powers that could be used against any state, legal scholars and national security experts told Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

The President of the United States this week has: - Restored the name of Robert E. Lee to a U.S. military base (Lee fought against the U.S. military) -Deployed Marines to an American city. - Shipped military equipment to Washington D.C. for a military “parade.”

he’s just completely vacuous. he talks in television sound-bytes and clearly does not think about a word coming out of his mouth

All of the complaints about BlueSky, even the valid ones, need to ask “compared to what?” For example, BlueSky does not routinely threaten companies with lawsuits and the implied threat of unfavorable treatment by the government in exchange for money! The business model is not based on blackmail!

MAYOR BASS: “It’s completely unnecessary… They’re guarding one federal building... This is all part of an experiment: What happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor and mayor?"

“Pro life”

The US is evacuating diplomatic personnel from Iraq after Iran threatened US bases in the region.

Fun fact about Kristi Noem is she’s been barred by tribal governments from setting foot on most tribal land in South Dakota (where she was governor) because she sucks. She’s not even fully assimilated into the society that exists within the borders of the country she longs to expel people from

If Zohran wins the Dem primary the media will run with "this was all meaningless, onto November where the real election will happen" and if Cuomo wins the media will go "presumptive mayor-elect Cuomo" and not cover the general election at all.

A 17-year-old Honduran foster child—identified only as Henry—was removed from his foster home in Pensacola in shackles and transferred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to reporting from the Miami Herald.

No, RFK Jr., sacking the best public health experts in America won’t ensure “the safest possible vaccines.” It will only make America sicker.

I am sitting in a public library working on a grant, and a grandmotherly woman is patiently teaching a small boy how to read at the table next to me. Another woman is knitting nearby. The children’s section is packed with kids. Things in my country are bleak, but libraries are where I find hope. ❤️

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

Whiskey Pete, asked about renaming of Harvey Milk ship. "We're not interested in ships named after activists." Ummm. Confederate officers are ... ??

HEGSETH: The mission in Los Angeles is about maintaining law and order REED: Excuse me. Law and order is a civil function under the Constitution of the United States

Remarkable to watch the US isolate itself by disparaging allies that fought and died alongside it, by betraying local allies like the Afghans who sided with us, and by looking to shred collective defense deals like AUKUS. (Also, as a Canadian, go fuck yourself Pete)

LAPD: THEY PUT FLOWERS AT THE FEET OF THE GUARD! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!

Gomez: How are you doing? I was just curious because I know Elon Musk body checked you Bessent: You believe what you read in Breitbart? Gomez: If it’s too sensitive for you, I won’t ask Bessent: I will take South Carolina over South Africa any day

It’s so unfathomly bizarre and tragic that the federal government has been straight up kidnapping people off the streets for months, and when we finally gather en peaceful masse to protect our community, the headlines are about a few cars on fire.

Reporter to Leavitt: "I'm struck that the president has not at any point said 'the most important thing is to protect the 1st Amendment rights of peaceful protesters' ... why is he not out saying, 'all peaceful protesters will be protected?'"

BREAKING: At least 49 people have died in flooding in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province after heavy rain and snow hit parts of the country, officials said.

HERE’S THE ACTUAL TRUTH…👇 ENJOY. 😎✨

I’m just saying, I’ve been hit with a canister of tear gas, but never one thrown by an undocumented immigrant.

Good,

Seth gets it

Double.

He pre screened for trump supporters

Starting to think these guys may not be entirely on the level.

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.

one big reason beltway journalists shouldn’t buy white house spin about los angeles is that the actual public opinion info we have doesn’t suggest the president has a winning hand here

Wouldn't it be schadenfreude-licious if Trump's authoritarian test elevated Gavin Newsom to the champion of democracy? #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

I'd sit this one out, Congressman.

BALDWIN: What is the authority that the administration is using to deploy active duty Marines to California neighborhoods? HEGSETH: The president has constitutional authority BALDWIN: Cite the provision of the Constitution HEGSETH: I'd have to pull up the specific provision

Dystopian.

It helps to understand what is going on to remember that the people who join ICE are the same cosplaying, arrested development men who join rogue militias and Proud Boys to address their societal impotency, are people who retweet white supremacist propaganda, and believe Pizzagate was a real thing.

Team Mikie is making every minute count — even in the pouring rain — to reach voters before polls close at 8PM tonight. Don’t forget to vote!

Um Questions 1. Does the USMC recruit JAGs by unsolicited emails? 2. If so do they not do any screening for age? [“physically qualified, under age 36”] 3. Is the USMC email nomenclature really “[lastname][rank][firstname]?” Asking for someone who just got an email from 1stLt Gay.

I continue to be furious with Congress refusal to regulate technology, doesn’t everyone see where this is going?

Sorry but you have to be a capital Oaf to not understand why people here might have low patience for your brand of above-it-all both sides centrism right now, given that this exact claptrap played a significant role in helping us get to this moment in our history

a confident nation doesn’t require the spectacle of a military parade
