Facts every American should know.

Of course there is. Why would anyone believe Trump would ever, ever, willingly give up power? The only way would be with an off-ramp so gilded with accolades, pomp, and riches that he wouldn't be able to resist. Like King of Khazad-dûm, perhaps.

OPINION: I met with Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez just days after he was kidnapped.

🤔 Just a reminder, the farmers are feeling it, rural hospitals are feeling it, ACA insurance holders are feeling it. And TrumpIsAFelon is just getting started. His big ugly bill is really set to explode after the 2026 mid-terms.

Yes.

So, so true.

Yes.

After this week, do the Blue States understand that Trump has declared war on them? It's only going to get worse. Another data point: newrepublic.com/post/201223/...

Focusing on the ridiculous veneer is a mistake because the substance of Trump's speech was as serious as a heart attack. The entire senior leadership of America’s military has been put on notice. www.thebulwark.com/p/its-a-war-...

Look what's on the front page of HUD.gov.

Now that I've resubscribed to Hulu/Disney, I am watching Tempest. Truly fantastic series. Very worth watching! But it should have been publicized better in the US. Someone is doing a terrible job promoting Kdramas on Hulu. There are a lot of them and many are very good.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Despite President Macron making light of the situation and "jokingly" calling Trump to clear the way, Trump told him he "couldn't do anything about it"; NYPD refused to allow him passage as well. Macron is one of Ukraine's major backers and a prime target for Russia to eliminate.

This would be funny if it wasn't so painful and stressful for all the people and their families whom Elon treated as NPCs. Eventually, all the positions Musk's idiots eliminated will be refilled, at an additional cost of TBD $$$ for taxpayers. But hey! He’s a genius! apnews.com/article/doge...

Agree regarding Disney. We have to reject bad behavior but also reward steps in the right direction. All stick and no carrot is not very effective.

And I did.

Tell ABC and Disney about your displeasure for pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air. • Jeannie Kedas Senior Vice President, Publicity and Corporate Communications Email: [email protected] • Helen Pollock Wolfe Director, Corporate Communications Email: [email protected]

Threatening a television network with fines to get them to fire a specific talk show host like Jimmy Kimmel is EXACTLY what the First Amendment is supposed to prevent. Jimmy Kimmel should sue everyone It's time for the left to get as serious about the 1st Amendment as the right is about the 2nd.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time. Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

I think part of the Right's reaction to the Kirk killing is that somehow they never anticipated being targets in the free-for-all gun fest in America.

In just three days, Israel has carried out strikes in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, Qatar and Yemen.

Aid seekers in Gaza have come under fire again on Wednesday. It’s been happening for weeks and has killed hundreds of Palestinians according to local officials. #AJStartHere's @sandragathmann.bsky.social explains what’s going on ⤵️

Yep.

Fast forward to 2040 and it is going to be as hot in May as it is in June now, and in July it is going to kill you.

Zohran Mamdani is standing up to the oligarchy and fighting to make one of America’s most expensive cities affordable for the working class. If you’re a New York City voter, I urge you to rank him #1 on your ballot by next Tuesday. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

OMG this is GREAT! 🤣😂

It looks like a funeral.

The military didn't want this parade any more than the American people did. That's a good sign.

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Born in 1975, I represent the one generation of women who had rights. I’m fighting for my daughters and granddaughters. Fuck this shit.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

All you need to do is show up. Your presence will speak eloquently. Without words, it will declare with piercing clarity that you are among the sprawling assembly that refuses to consent to the dismantling of this nation. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/a-letter-t...

Dead on.

“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

yep! unpaywalled:

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

it would be cool if some reporters for a major newspaper or one of the network news channels decide to devote some coverage to the fact that official government communications channels are telling transparent lies in order to justify violence against democrats
