The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Mark Sanchez assaulting a deaf 70 year old and losing not only the fight, but your career and nearly your life might be the most Jets thing that's ever happened.

JD Vance is doing the Reichstag Fire the right way. by Ezra Klein

An abundance of bullshit.

Wow, despite claims she brought “landmark” cases as a Dep City Attorney, Roy was actually just an intern. “Our office does not have any personnel or human resources record of Marissa Roy as an employee of the City of Los Angeles…she was a volunteer intern.” www.westsidecurrent.com/elections/ex...

May every day be another beautiful secr…ohhh shit.

Cities: Take some of our money and get rural communities electricity, healthcare, internet, and job support. Rural: No, take those things away, you don’t care about us at all, we hate you. Cities: This must be because we don’t provide them with enough economic benefits.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

2020s US has: -a Big Lie -propaganda using new tech (radio/film then, social media/AI now) -a Horst Wessel-like martyr -a violent force that hides officers' identities -govt grabbing people and shipping them to a foreign prison without trial Not identical, but how much do you need to say similar?

all of the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence about executive power - all of it - can be replaced with a simple flow chart. is the president a Republican? if so it’s ok. if not, it’s presumptively not ok.

Planned Parenthood provides critical health care, including: Birth control. Cancer screenings. STI testing. PReP. It’s all essential—and extremists would rather deny access to it than protect it.

A man is dying. His granddaughter asks, Where were you born? Austria-Hungary Where did you go to school? Poland Where were you married? The Ukrainian SSR Where were your children born? The German Reich, then USSR. Where will you die? Ukraine. Wow! You sure moved around! What? I never left the city!

THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all. Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.

Long Beach congressman picked to be top Democrat on House Oversight Committee lbpost.com/news/politic...

Remember, this new normal -- in which gangs of masked armed gunmen are causing chaos in the streets, pulling weapons and assaulting innocent people, and no one can say if they're crooks or cops -- was all sold to Americans as a way to make us feel safer.

A fact. Added to which: - illegal war - illegal tariffs - the return of measles.

The Trevor Project is triple matching donations right now. They work to prevent suicide in LGBTQ youth and are a miraculous organization that Trump just cutoff from the national suicide hotline. www.thetrevorproject.org

What are some good orgs for trans youth that could use some donations on this awful day? Reply below.

Breathtaking how profound the Dem party’s failure on comms is that anyone, for even a second, could believe Republicans were a party of peace.

a nation on edge holds its breath as the former host of celebrity apprentice huddles with his advisors, the wrestlemania ceo and the former co-host of fox & friends weekends

It’s not even noon in LA.

Two of the three states with the largest population of people in the U.S. illegally are the red states of Texas and Florida. Trump, notably, does not name their cities when calling on ICE to execute more aggressive immigration raids. He does, however, name LA, Chicago and New York.

More than five million Americans in over 2,100 towns and cities joined us today to say we don't do kings in this country. Thank you for making it clear that we won't be ruled by fear.

To those who still somehow say you’re overreacting to say we are far past the point of historic crisis, go back to summer 2024 and say that in less than a year the president of the United States would be deploying the literal Marines on American soil to deal with and intimidate his political enemies

Believe them.

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

Living in LA is kindof a cheat code for this, but sharing a table at the Bourgeois Pig with Alicia Silverstone is probably tops.

Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie Please Quote this with your most minor celebrity interaction

The court has ruled. Donald Trump you must relinquish your authority of the National Guard back to me and back to California.

A federal judge has blocked President Trump from deploying members of the California National Guard to Los Angeles and ordered the administration to return control of the forces to Gov. Gavin Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here are the 7 Democrats who voted to confirm Noem.

I thought Trump said there would be no more conflicts when he was president since he blamed every conflict everywhere in the world for the last 4 years on Biden & said that none of them would’ve happened if he was president. I thought he was going full Art of the Deal with Iran?

Turn out on No Kings Day to protest the thuggery of the Trump regime.

Faith leaders lead march through downtown L.A. as curfew takes hold www.latimes.com/california/l...

Prolly shoulda shut the government down after all eh Chuck?

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Rounding up people at Home Depot looking for day work and small local restaurants means you're not raiding the factories, meat packing plants, and job sites of big Republican donors.

Should Democrats take money from someone whose factory violated the Clean Air Act for 12 of the last 12 quarters? Should they welcome someone who operated a racist workplace? Who violated NLRB rules? Who committed securities fraud? Who lied to get a government loan? Who ripped off green subsidies?

Enjoy Cinco De Mayo, but remember that Primary Ballots in California go out one year from today.

So the day Trump said he’d like to become the Pope and issued an order to militarize local policing, Gretchen Whitmer decided a good time to give him a big hug on camera and speak at his rally. Notable.

As you learn more about the incompetent and slapdash approach to running the economy, remember that’s the same approach they’re using to deport people to foreign prisons.

Liberation day: work will set you free.

Significant glitch in matrix… Britpop tribute going down at the Nixon library, on 4/20??

There is no point to Democrats who won’t fight for targeted communities.
