Since this day, Antonio Brown, who wore a shirt that referred to Kamala Harris as a “Tramp,” he has been: - Successfully sued in civil court for sexually abusing his own cousin. For years. Starting when she was a child. - The subject of an arrest warrant for attempted murder.

Stand down soldiers.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

We discuss how the federal government will no longer help with disasters (“that’s the governor’s job”) but will bypass the same governor to occupy their state with the military. Cut FEMA. But give the military a trillion. And use it on your own citizens. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

“It’s not just that Trump wants to acclimate Americans to the sight of tanks in the streets. [..] The real problem is how the military may begin to see itself.” A must-read by Hanna Rosin and Tom Nichols. @radiofreetom.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc...

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

The "Sophie's Choice" of this just makes them even more recognizable as Nazis.

Good grief, what a damaging profile. #DUIHireHegseth comes across every bit as we thought — lazy, paranoid as hell, completely in over his head. Having this man as SecDef is embarrassing and dangerous. All I can say is keep the leaks coming. He can't plug them all. 🧾 nymag.com/intelligence...

WHAT FOX WILL NEVER SHOW YOU!! The news won't show you this because they have a narrative to spin.

Amen!

Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

Here’s a video of Trump where he proudly killed President Obama’s nuclear Iran deal as war breaks out in the Middle East.

And just like that, U.S. forces are involved.

Good lord. Will no one say this is wrong???

I'm baffled by this. It seems like a policy purposely designed to punish red states.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump is so desperate to be liked he’s co-opted the Army’s birthday for his own. The waste, fraud, and abuse? We’ve found it. And it’s all on Bonespurs Trump. youtu.be/DgyjqmGAj_8?...

Pew did a poll that shows some of what people in other countries think about Trump. The funny thing about it is that people from many of the countries he wouldn’t mind people coming here from (majority white countries) dislike him the most. www.pewresearch.org/global/2025/...

People can say what they want. The quality of my interactions is much higher on BlueSky than on X. And I typically don't go to bed feeling angered or sickened by the people I've interacted with that day.

Today we formally served Summons & Complaint in our federal DC lawsuit against #JamesOKeefe for defamation/false light/fraudulent mispreresentation/wire trap violations. His response is due on or before July 7, 2025. We appreciate he confirmed actual receipt via X & Instragram.

WE ARE CLEAN ON OPTICS

As the conflict develops in the Middle East, remember that Donald Trump gutted the National Security Council, firing experienced experts and replacing them with loyalists who wouldn't challenge his "instincts” leaving our nation less prepared and more prone to catastrophic miscalculations.

NEW: The CBP confirmed to @404media.co that it has been flying Predator drones over LA amid the protests. These Predator B drones are military-caliber UAVs used for aerial reconnaissance that can be armed. It further breaks the seal on federal involvement in civilian matters. More here:

Marines are trained for combat. They go through mental conditioning to desensitize themselves to violence. They’re taught to override emotional responses like guilt & empathy. They’re trained to view enemies as “hostile targets.” Their conditioning is meant for defense & combat. Not protests.

🚨🧵The U.S. government’s investigation into MS-13 uncovered evidence that Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s administration may have struck a secret deal with the gang, exchanging money and political favors for reduced violence and electoral support. 1/11

Guess who was right in the thick of the assault on @padilla.senate.gov? Corey Lewandowski. (He may have been the guy instructing that there's no recording at a press conference and seems to have realized how badly they fucked up.)

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

Two weeks ago. Rinse & repeat. 🇺🇸

yep! unpaywalled:

What happened today to a united States Senator is outrageous. And the so-called justifications from the Administration are total BS. Here’s why

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

"Mobilizing military forces into cities is going to be seen as an overreach, and it's going to be now met with peaceful, boisterous moms, dads, grandmas. kids and their dogs and families showing up, saying, 'we're not going to put up with this authoritarianism..." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

“We are moving away from climate damaging societies; the problem is that it’s almost inevitable that we will be slowing down the pace, at least in the short run”: Promising conclusion by PIK director Rockström in @mongabay.com article on the climate emergency. news.mongabay.com/2025/06/clim...

So who was it that cancelled the nuclear deal with Iran?

Cory Booker:  "This is something that we should not tolerate & by we, this is not Democrats & Republicans, this is we in this body, we have a constitutional obligation to provide oversight to the executive." We the people have an obligation to provide oversight as well! Find a #NoKings event 👇

You can sleep easy tonight, knowing that our national security is in the hands of Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Kristi Noem and Donald Trump. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Lol. Likely 25% of his base doesn’t believe the Apollo missions left a sound stage. They must be so conflicted. Probably have a head ache in that single brain cell.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Trump said he wanted a deal with Iran. I guess he couldn’t convince his good friend Netanyahu. No respect. Looks weak.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Bravo Governor Gavin Newsom One Branch Judicial Branch Co Equal Branches of Government Judge rules Return control of the National Guard to Governor Gavin Newsom by noon Friday This was a total waste of taxpayer money and time

Welp.
