The No Kings protests have been some of the most peaceful and well attended political assemblies in American history. In fact, MAGA has mocked them as a bunch of boomer grandmothers. Now they are apparently terrorists. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Same for the "ICEwarriors"...

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

Trump doesn’t like data. He wants investors, consumers, and everyone else to be in the dark, so he can lie without fear of factual contradiction. He can create even more of a fantasy world. He can pretend that he’s been wildly successful even when he’s been a terrible failure.

In direct contrast to coverage from right-wing media, Portland residents and officials have emphasized that it's actually federal agents who have been engaging in “violent tactics” against protesters.

'Will come back to bite them': MAGA senator floating idea Republicans once vehemently opposed

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

Noem claims Portland hid their war zone from her.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles. You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

All to cover up the Epstein files.

I FINALLY figured out what Pam Bondi's PETULANT behavior at her hearing reminded me of: Veruca Salt!

Here's one of the explanations DOJ gave for needing to invade Chicago. A picture of LA (which it doesn't ID as such). Bring noisemakers, it says. INVADE FOUR MONTHS LATER WITH TROOPS, Trump says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

FACT: Netflix’s market cap has gone UP $10 Billion since right wing, snowflake, bigots targeted them with a cancel culture boycott over a transgender character in a cartoon.

My daughter is a lesbian and I love and support her. Love is love.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic. "Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

BREAKING: Trump Just Indicted Leticia James. Here's Everything You Need to Know. open.substack.com/pub/demwinsm... 2+2=5

Trump says Democrats want crime and incite it (so much for toning down the rhetoric ... )

Rick Wilson compares her stuttering evasions, insults, and faux bursts of performative outrage to a fake orgasm — Unfortunately, this makes her performance seem far more entertaining than it actually was; and is unfair to orgasms. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Rude, crude and unattractive is a horrible way to go through life.

This needs to spread over and over.

"For the first time since the civil rights era, the president of the United States is sending in troops over the objection of a local state. The big difference between now and the civil rights era is that the president is doing that based on their desire for power only."

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Context matters

?????????????????????????????????

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Hakeem Jeffries came to play today as Lawler tries to confront him: "You’re not going to talk over me because you don’t want to hear what I have to say so why don’t you just keep your mouth shut." More 👏🏼Of👏🏼This👏🏼

Federal judge in Oregon ordered release of Iranian man held by ICE since June @oregonian.com www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

I’m shocked.

Imagine that. www.wsj.com/health/pharm...

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Camouflage not working on those curves

FUHRER FASCISM — HOW DID VZGLYAD KNOW THAT TRUMP’S MEETING WITH THE GENERALS WAS A LOYALTY TEST? BECAUSE RUSSIANS REMEMBER HITLER’S FUHRERREID OF 1935? John Helmer. johnhelmer.net/fuhrer-fasci...

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.
