They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

the logical extension of castle doctrine is that every firearm makes a person into a little tyrant over a little fiefdom of their home and vehicle and, if there's open carry or even if there isn't, everywhere they are in person, armed microstates in a state of anarchy, little kings ready to go off.

Per WSJ, U.S. negotiations with Iran were actually a cover to buy time for Israel's attack. Would you ever enter into negotiations with the U.S. knowing this?

Remarkable: Vulnerable House Republicans are quietly urging Trump to refocus deportations away from noncriminal migrants and only target criminals. With Trump admitted deportations hurt farmers, Rs know this is becoming a big problem for them. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/1968...

Regular Gestapo activity.

scott foster lmao agent of chaos

I find the comparisons to what Trump is doing to North Korea annoying one because it’s kinda racist and two because they’re just better at pageantry than us.

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."

RE: confusion over whether Trump "greenlit" this, never think of him as a decision-maker. He's Lord Raglan ordering (or not ordering? Who can say! Up to you!) the charge of the light brigade. Everyone around him hears what they want, he takes credit if it works and says "Wasn't me!" if it doesn't.

Upon the release of her excellent short, Don't Be Long, Little Bird, I sat down with director Reem Jubran. We spoke about the film, shooting a Palestine the West rarely sees and what she'd like to see more of from non-Palestinians. Read it here: bit.ly/3FXJGxG

come on man does everything have to be terrible at once?

As I just flagged, this has been replaced with something which is arguably worse; requiring that basically every plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction against the federal government pay millions or billions of dollars in "security" to pay for "costs" to the federal government if they later win.

🧵 1/ Pennsylvania has an estimated 350,000 abandoned oil & gas wells—many leaking methane and contaminating groundwater. The cleanup bill could hit $40 BILLION, yet drillers are only bonded for a tiny fraction of that. Taxpayers are left holding the bag.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Family doctors are now a condo amenity. The CDC gave its outbreak data to Ρаlаntіr. A "harmless" virus might be behind MS, lupus, and long COVID. This week’s newsletter is... something. 👇 canadahealthwatch.ca/newsletter/2...

israel has a right to defend itself, and by this i mean iran doesnt

I dunno, frankly insane that we were bullied into silence about a genocide and I don’t think we should be bullied into silence about the same state actors bombing a new population of civilians and starting a major world war

when you pass the quicktime event

This is a distraction [dies in nuclear war].

whining about how the protestors need to mind their manners sure looks fucking stupid now

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

oh no the rehab is dealing drugs out the back door!

Kennedy appointed Robert Malone to the top vaccine advisory committee ACIP. Malone is one click off Andrew Wakefield. He thinks the covid shots killed 17 million and that bird flu vaccines are a deep state psyop.

A Lower Merion High School student said they were forced to remove a keffiyeh-print headscarf and consent to be searched to participate in their graduation last week, then were removed by police after receiving their diploma.

Conservatives believe every city is completely on fire all the time and there is no level of protester discipline that can make them stop believing that

The advice from most establishment types on either side of the aisle really boils down to this: Trump can do anything he wants, provoke violence, incite insurrections, pardon those who do it and call them patriots. In response, you can wear a pussy hat and march quietly but that's about it.

School Lunch Debt This country was cooked the moment someone uttered that phrase aloud and we didn’t immediately throw them off a cliff.

Frog and slowly boiling pot of water and all, but Trump going all in on Confederate pride as he is berating political opponents in front of combat soldiers and planning on targeting five more democratic cities. Journalists are going to have to decide if both sides is the way forward. Fast.

is conner smith a cop? the headline writer who’s using the passive/cop-tense thinks so

We feed you. They hunt us.

America is so fucking good at propaganda you have no clue how good we do that shit. The best to ever do it

The Trump admin is currently vetting 9,000+ migrants to be sent to Guantanamo Bay where the conditions are beyond heinous. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

you'd think the end of all federal consumer protection, public safety enforcement, and corporate oversight would be bigger news outside of a handful of outlets like propublica, the media couldn't care less

This is the kind of thing that is going to happen constantly now that we have an unaccountable masked gang with complete impunity: Random scammers, stalkers and criminals are just going to pretend to be ICE, because why not?

ICE appears to confirm that California National Guard are being used to provide security to ICE officers during immigration arrest operations.

lapd be like

The Trump administration plans to largely eliminate FEMA later this year. When a state gets hit by disaster, "the governor should be able to handle it," Trump said [gift link]
