Protesters instigating violence in Boston, March 5, 1770.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

"You just f---ing shot the reporter!"

A reminder that January 6 insurrection was invited by the same criminal who is inciting and creating manufactured chaos throughout the United States today. He should’ve been sent to jail for several lifetime sentences, not sent to the White House.

Say it with me, kids: the cruelty is the point

So many people doing something wonderful to contribute.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Um...what?! 😑😤🤬

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 OHHH.HELLLLL.NOOOOO 🤬 #auspol

Gov. Gavin Newsom said on social media that California National Guard was being taken over by the federal government “not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.”

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

Nike has cancelled fmr AOTY Grace Tame as a brand ambassador because of pro-Palestinian posts?! So, Nike opposes human rights and supports genocide?! Good to know. #IStandWithGrace #BoycottNike #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

“States’ rights” apparently don’t apply when Trump wants control.

Totally normal stuff in a democracy with “states’ rights”: Trump’s border czar threatens California’s governor, and the L.A. mayor is warned they could face arrest.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

A top coronavirus vaccine adviser at the CDC has resigned, citing concerns that she could no longer help vulnerable people after officials rescinded recommendations to immunize children and pregnant women.

Guess who is going to pay for the tariffs?

Every day that Trump is president is TACO Tuesday.

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

So be it …. 🐓

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

This makes perfect sense.

This is residents in San Diego telling Ice-Gestapo agents to get TF out of their neighborhood. More of this please. 💙👊

One in three Australian men say they have committed intimate partner violence, world-first research finds

I feel safer already.

Overheard: Apparently Zelenskyy had some cards, and he didn’t need a suit.

In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.

Ah, but Sen. Ernst, we don’t want people to die before they’re supposed to. Or perhaps you do?

We have hope. Rebellions are built on hope.

People are pissed this morning because we exposed Peter Thiel. We’re under constant attack, but that’s expected. The greatest threat to the Trump administration is an informed public. That’s why they rely on secrecy and distraction. But we won’t look away.
