In LA, we have the right to film law enforcement in public spaces, as long as we do not interfere.

Arturo Hermosillo says he was arrested for doing exactly that.

He was in his van when he saw an older woman, a local tamale vendor, lying on the ground during an immigration raid & started recording.

I feel so much safer knowing that 22-year-old Thomas Fugate, a Trump mega fan, is bringing his vast landscaping and grocery clerk experience to the terrorism prevention arena, now that our country faces a possible Iranian terrorist attack.

Itโ€™s all good, America, carry on with your Sunday!

BREAKING: Donald Trump set to cave again on policy, now saying that he will reconsider immigration enforcement that targets farm workers and hotel workers.

Did someone say TACO Thursday?

NEW FROM CBO: brutal distributional analysis of House GOP "Big Beautiful Bill"

On avg the bottom 30% of households get poorer under the GOP bill

Avg gets little - and are worse off if you include tariffs

This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

Adolf Hitler at 50: Color Photos From a Despot's Birthday, April 1939 Color pictures from the celebrations that marked Hitler's 50th birthday in 1939, and the gaudy gifts bestowed by peers and sycophants.

Just a reminder of history. No specific reason why I'm posting this before this weekend.

Nothing says romance like holding your partner's thumb so as to distend it.

Trump & an Einstein visa holder at Kennedy Center last night to watch a play about an uprising against an authoritarian king.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

The replies on here may not be as racist as Twitter, but they damn sure are hateful.
Talk AI: FU, AI sucks go away
Talk Business: Go away
Talk Healthcare: Crickets.

Engagement went from great convos on many topics, to agree with me or you are a nazi fascist

We are forcing posts to X

Private sector hiring rose by just 37,000 in May, the lowest in more than two years, ADP says The report comes two days before the more closely watched nonfarm payrolls count from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Private payrolls increased just 37,000 In May, below the 60,000 in April and the Dow Jones forecast for 110,000.

It was the lowest monthly job total from the ADP count since March 2023.

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content Iโ€™m here for.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONEโ€ผ๏ธ

They didnโ€™t just deport himโ€”they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.

Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement programโ€”fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.

No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

RFK Jr. is wrong about autism His lies endanger neurodivergent people โ€” and everyone else.

"Kennedyโ€™s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

Russia murdered more innocent Ukrainian civilians living in Zaporizhzhia that Donald Trump won't give a crap about.

But maybe he'll put out a statement calling Putin a terrorist for torching a Tesla.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them Without scientist Kseniia Petrovaโ€™s expertise, no one can fully unlock the dataโ€™s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

โ€”Pioneering cancer researcher;
โ€”*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
โ€”Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
โ€”"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

With CDC injury prevention team gutted, 'we will not know what is killing us' Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.
