So why is Tate raping women instead of men??

Troops attending Trump’s America250 celebration have to meet height and weight standards. So the folks on The Weeknight decided it was time to put a reality check on Trump’s height and weight. 🤣 Spread this around and let’s remember to blast this clip again during Trump’s celebration. Okay?

"We're the real humans you guys are literal robots" Delaney Hall Detention Center (Concentration Camp) New Jersey

Sure sounds like someone with all his marbles in place.🙄

Ditto. 💯

Who wouldn't find expanded childcare funding, improved infrastructure and city services, lower housing costs based on zoning changes, transportation improvements, and much more, appealing? I hope MAGA starts demanding these types of initiatives.

I'm surprised it's not a higher number. These cuts were cruel beyond words, and Musk knew what would happen; he just doesn't care. As long as the white South Africans aren't affected, it doesn't matter to Musk or Trump.

No end to the brutality—against peaceful protesters.

Black voters in Alabama urged SCOTUS to reject the state’s emergency request to use a congressional map with only one majority-Black district in the midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Harry Litman reports that Trump's giving up on his $1.776 slush fund for allies is a humiliation. The bigger story is a judge's ongoing inquiry into whether the fund's underlying court settlement involved deception or fraud on the court. open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...

I STAND WITH THE PROTESTERS If a detention facility can’t withstand public scrutiny, congressional oversight, and media attention, the problem isn’t the protesters. The problem is what’s happening inside. #ShutDownDelaneyHall

Jared Polis freed Tina Peters, knowing damn well that she'd be spouting her election conspiracy theories nonstop.

A federal jury convicted the “Spokane 3”—three Washington activists who protested ICE ICE last year—of felony conspiracy charges. The case criminalizes protest and threatens 1st Amendment rights; the defendants plan to appeal. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Reporting shows that the Trump administration is giving up on trying to pay out $1.776 to Trump allies. Poor little insurrectionists are going to be so broken-hearted. www.rawstory.com/trump-slush-...

My article titled "Women Are Not Safe Around Men" is on pace to pass 1 million reads. I expected to get hate from men telling on themselves, and while that happened, I've also received a number of emails and notes from men appreciating the research. Read here: www.qasimrashid.com/p/women-are-...

🚨 Heartbreaking. Detainees at Delaney Hall are being forced to eat worm-infested food, denied doctors, and separated from their families. Even US citizens are trapped inside. This must end. No more torture centers on American soil. #ShutDownDelaneyHall

I was in the need for more dogs; @dogs100.bsky.social never disappoints!

There is a zone of lawlessness around the Oval Office, erected by the Supreme Court when it granted current and former presidents effective immunity from prosecution if their crimes involved “official acts.” Loot the taxpayers, misuse government power for graft, and you’re off the hook.

Do you do banking with Citizens Bank? Citizens Bank provided over $2B in financing for GEO Group & CoreCivic corporations that run Trump's detention Camps, where people are being tortured. Without that money, these companies could not have survived. #ShutDownDelaneyHall & the other camps.

Trump said he doesn't care if negotiations with Iran are over, saying silence is better and could go on 'a very long time.' Trump has the attention span of a gnat, and said the negotiations had become boring. www.cnbc.com/2026/06/01/t...

Appeals court upholds ruling by U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes that the Pentagon illegally banned transgender troops from military service. apnews.com/live/trump-a...

@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social shows that amidst the backdrop of artists refusing to participate in Trump's Freedom 250 concert, Trump’s recent actions—particularly regarding Iran—have ended in political and diplomatic embarrassment. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

In some ways, this is the least surprising story of the week: Trump has hijacked America’s 250th Anniversary of Rejecting Kings and turned it into “a royalist celebration of himself" open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Wait, what? Didn't Trump say he wiped out Iran's military capabilities—several times?

Maybe if he hadn’t been telling us for 3 months that a surrender deal with Iran was imminent he wouldn’t have to post at 1:02 AM that he has no idea how to get out of this war while accomplishing anything meaningful.

Under Trump, there have been fewer ATF trafficking charges referred for prosecution, irresponsible gun shops have received less scrutiny, and hundreds of ATF agents have been shifted to immigration work. www.propublica.org/article/how-...

With the U.S. and Iran exchanging fire in the past 24 hours, even the Polymarket prediction charts are showing heavy DOUBTS that the Strait of Hormuz returns to normal in June. I'm no foreign policy expert, but why is everyone so easily FOOLED repeatedly by trump's market manipulation?

It's dementia; Trump has forgotten he's responsible for Alligator Alcatraz.
