“32 individuals inside a cage. It was 81° where we were standing…inside it was probably even hotter. How do I know? Because there was individuals sweating with their shirt off, while they chanted libertad, libertad, libertad.” - State Sen Jones

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.

UTAH! URGENT CALL TO ACTION! We are hearing that John Curtis is wavering, so LIGHT UP THOSE PHONES #VoteNO

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

‘I’m an American, Bro!’: Latinos Report Raids in Which U.S. Citizenship Is Questioned

Forcefully stopping and detaining my constituent and interrogating him about which hospital he was born in solely because he’s Latino is blatant racism. ICE's racial profiling is terrorizing communities, targeting U.S. citizens and making us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

TRUMP FLIPS AGAIN: Farm and hospitality workers won’t be exempt from ICE raids after all.

One Minnesota.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Deep in the Pyrenees and barely into France, we saw a handful of Fire Salamanders (Salamandra salamandra) in the forest today. I saw this species in Belgium three weeks ago, so today’s observations help serve to bookend my trip. #herps #salamanders 🌿

Elsewhere on the Internet I see someone being a conflicted about not finishing a book of mine, so let me make it easy for everyone: If you're not vibing with something I wrote, put it down and try something else! Not everything I write is going to work for everyone, and that's fine. Let it go!

Why Abrego Garcia? Why now? Here’s why. Trump’s deportation numbers are actually less than Biden’s, even with all this noise. The high profile cruelty and defiance of court orders is a distraction tactic to cover up his low deportation numbers. With Trump it’s always a sleight of hand Ponzi scheme.

Let me thank the air controllers for the difficult and important work they do.
