This is a solar eclipse. Seen from the surface of Mars by the Perseverance rover in 2022. That moon is the little space potato Phobos. And you can even see sunspots!

“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived. The question, now, is whether Americans who hate tyranny can be roused to respond.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

Why another protest? What is it going to accomplish? Shouldn’t we be [insert alternate tactic] instead? These are good-faith questions, and they stem from very reasonable concerns. So let’s take a step back and talk about the role of a peaceful mass mobilization like No Kings.

It took protesters to whoop Trump’s ass the last time he was in office, and it looks like protesters are the only ones up to the task this time too.

Everyone should look on the bright side: We have no idea if Trump will send Seal Team Six after Gov. Newsom. But at least we know that, if Trump did it, he’d be immune from criminal prosecution for doing it.

I've seen a bunch of references to this, but I hadn't seen the post itself until now. The menswear guy intentionally, riskily revealed that he's undocumented—that he's a DREAMer—as an act of public solidarity and witness in the face of our current fascist ascendancy.

Literally every other American president in the history of the Republic would have fired Tulsi Gabbard today. But Trump is here to destroy, divide and cause chaos, and she is doing the job he wants done.

Trump and Hegseth are actively and overly turning the US military into a partisan political force in violation of the Constitution, and Republicans in Congress will say nothing as another pillar of the Republic comes crashing down.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

The spin has already started as if our entire city is in chaos. I went from Burbank all the way over to Koreatown on surface streets tonight and jackshit was happening. The CNN coverage makes it look like world war 3 and that’s what Trump wants so he and his fucking goons can come shoot Angelenos.
