Kamala Harris warned us that “Trump will turn American military on the American people”….but The Hill called her a liar
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
Texas 10 Commandments law struck down in districts where parent object to them being posted. Texas is the 3rd state to have this law overturned. You would think states would learn by now that there is a separation of church and state. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/AQfCWd0PJR1q...
President Trump said on Friday he was considering sending National Guard troops to cities like Chicago, New York and Baltimore. State and local leaders say they have crime under control.

CNN: Prices for apparel and accessories are up by 9%. This is an obvious consequence of high tariffs. If you look at prices now versus the pre-tariff trend, they're up in many different categories
Holy shit.

If you’re under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, they’re not hiding it:
WATCH THIS: ICE took 17-year-old Benjamin Marcelo Guerrero-Cruz off the street, left his dog to dodge cars, and laughed about the $2,500 bounty they just made. He’s now shivering in an overcrowded cell. At home? His mom is raising 3 little boys alone, including twin babies.
ALABAMA: “The verdict is in. The state’s tough immigration law just isn’t working out… American workers not mentally or physically fit enough to last one day…”
NEW: Oregon liberals, opposed to nuclear power in the 1970s, created a complex process for getting new energy projects approved. It’s now being used to stall developments in wind and solar — with a 76-year-old activist leading the charge. With @opb.org

Notice they don’t deny it. Corruption and grift at every turn. 🇺🇸

DHS is a non-stop Kristi propagandizing operation 24/7. Despite everything the massive agency does every day, it’s all about Kristi all the time. Yesterday she rides horses. Today she’s signing stuff. Tomorrow she’s on a plane. Then new Kristi paintings. DHS - The Reality Show.

“More systematically than in his first term, Trump’s administration is reaching into the federal immigration bureaucracy to roll back an array of protections for undocumented children,” @mccrummen.bsky.social writes:
"Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities."

Colbert has the highest ratings of any late night host. "Financial reasons" my ass. This is political.
Welcome to the new American workforce - powered by cruelty, not dignity:
I am all for recognizing the harms and sequelae of PTSD in vets and getting people the treatment they need. This is NOT it. Giving a police officer who repeatedly punched a 5'3 woman on the side of the road his badge back? www.mercurynews.com/2025/07/06/s...
So what's the penalty for the lawyers and officials who lied to various courts in formal filings over the last few months? Nothing, right? Even though lying to a court can get you disbarred, found in contempt, cause you to lose your case? Until these bastards are punished, they'll never stop lying.
BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.
Mayor Bass: This morning, it was frightening in Los Angeles to see tanks essentially rolling into MacArthur Park. It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone. Los Angeles was peaceful before June 5. We need to go back to that.
How the hell did the AP write an entire article about GOP efforts to throw out lawful votes without noting: (1) The GOP is trying to throw out lawful votes; and (2) they are doing it because it will disproportionately harm Democrats? This is about GOP stealing elections. apnews.com/article/trum...
Amen!

Alina Habba in Feb: “On Epstein, it’s incredibly disturbing. We have flight logs, info, names that will come out. There were so many names hidden who had not been held accountable. Now it’s time for accountability. I really believe with Kash and Pam there will be accountability.”
This. Is. Insane. Read this, please.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Friday that the U.S. Navy was changing the name of a ship named after Harvey Milk, a Navy veteran and one of the country’s first openly gay elected officials. Hegseth said the decision was "taking the politics out of ship naming." https://trib.al/UKLLGqd
Who is willing to do this despicable act for a job?!? Rhetorical. It is a top down disease and it is destroying more and more lives every single day. Nothing here is American. Nothing!
In Germany, Bonhoeffer “isn’t treated as a brand name or a celebrity,” writes Laura M. Fabrycky. “Instead, he is honored for the complex humanity of his life: for being a brilliant, evocative thinker and writer who lived life fully, intensely, and creatively, even in prison.”
BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court limits federal judges’ ability to issue nationwide injunctions. The ruling deals a significant blow to those challenging the extreme measures taken by the Trump administration. More to come.
Rise up, America! ICE is erasing US citizens from databases so they can illegally deport them! The Constitutionally disqualified, illegitimate, corrupt, Russian asset, political thief, criminal felon and his cronies and enablers all need to go! #MAGATerrorists #TrumpMustGoNow
I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?
“HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the United States will no longer donate funds to Gavi, the global vaccine program that has saved millions of lives worldwide.”— @jeremyfaust.bsky.social “This is one of the deadliest decisions ever made by any American.”

Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.
🚨 The Senate budget bill lets the government detain immigrant families indefinitely in unlicensed facilities. This is a direct threat to children’s health and safety. Congress must reject this cruelty.h 📢 Tell Congress: NO on the budget bill. youthlaw.org/voteno
The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.
what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.
“Today’s ruling is a massively important one—and a massively worrying one, insofar as it at least appears to reflect the willingness of a majority of the justices to appease a government the behavior of which is increasingly unworthy of any such respect.” www.stevevladeck.com/p/161-the-co...
Very Cool 😎
Authorities should be clearly identifying themselves with badges & uniforms, not inviting copycat vigilantes & militias to mimic them. civic-texts.ghost.io/on-juneteent... The predictable outcome of plainclothes police with masks: ICE impersonators are on the rise.
CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

I usually watch TikTok videos while I work out, and this came across my feed tonight and I had to catch my breath from audibly sobbing. I can’t believe this is happening in our country. A US citizen in LA tries to question why an older maintenance worker is being taken, so they take him too
Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Pete Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines into Los Angeles. Make no mistake: this is a declaration of war against the United States.
But keep telling us how they care about the debt and efficiency. This colossal waste will stand as a historic monument to his malignant narcissism.
Trump called the Los Angeles ICE protests “rebellion” Steven Miller: “insurrection” If emergency powers are invoked Trump can use the military Suspend habeas corpus Even put people in concentration camps The images seen in LA have been chilling But what Trump might do next could end democracy
Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP DECLARES L.A. RESIDENTS TO BE IN “REBELLION AGAINST THE AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES” This declaration may well be a prelude to martial law. He’s illegally federalized the Guard in California and this looks very like the pretext he was waiting for.

The oligarchs just sit there hoarding wealth, buying homes for fun, and calling it “the market” when we can’t afford the basics just to survive. We made them rich buying their junk, and their big idea to fix society? Let us fight each other and starve. It's cheaper that way. #EatTheRich
The Senate parliamentarian advised lawmakers that they couldn't use the Congressional Review Act to revoke California's right to set vehicle standards. But they did it anyway. Expect a legal fight.
You sure? Coz non-official acts of corruption are not immune from prosecution.
Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

I’m only surprised it took this long under this administration!
Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.
