The capitulation and absolute silence of our military leaders is the worst part

By the way, the stuff Trump was talking about — declaring a war on our inner cities — is exactly what Kamala Harris was talking about when she said Trump would turn the military against its own citizens.

LOVED SEEING YOU

Wonderful seeing some of my favorite Defenders of Democracy & smart, funny members of The Resistance like @stephaniemiller.bsky.social & Allison Gill @muellershewrote.com (along with @frangeladuo.bsky.social @jodyhamilton.bsky.social & @halsparks.com-not pictured)
♥️ 'em ALL!
And how was YOUR Sunday?

MVP ❤️ 😭
She told me to continue fighting. So continue fighting I will.

If @markhamillofficial.bsky.social is still fighting, then we all must keep fighting.

Truly one of the best.

Comedians statement Statement by comedians on the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel’s show: It’s a dark time for comedians and, by extension, for all Americans. Every culture needs humor. It’s how we heal and how we connect...

NEW: Hundreds of comedians have signed onto a letter, supporting Jimmy Kimmel and saying that when the government targets one of them, it targets all of them.

Read the statement below.

Moving, depressing words from Justice Sotomayor this morning: “We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, & appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

It's been a year in Los Angeles. This week @mayor.lacity.gov sat for a candid conversation to talk about it.

Lots of haters out there, but Adam Lambert playing Judas was incredible. Cynthia Erivo as Jesus made it truly perfect. What a night. Jesus Christ Superstar.

Rosie’s response to Trump. Perfect.

NEW: @mayor.lacity.gov spoke with @meidastouch.com after singing a new Executive Order aimed at protecting immigrants in LA. Among other things, Mayor Bass is filing a FOIA request to know who these masked agents are, why they are masked, and what exactly they are doing. More 👇

Bass: I just signed an executive directive that puts all city departments and leadership on notice to protect Angelenos—essentially from the federal government.

We’re also filing a FOIA request because we want to know: Who are these masked men, and why are they masked in the first place?

So proud of Mayor Bass. She went directly to the place where more people consume their information — @meidastouch.com — to talk about the new lawsuit against the Trump Admin.

We are taking the Trump Administration to court. We are fighting for our city and our people.

The most lovely person & weekend with @annelamott.bsky.social ❤️

@feedphil.bsky.social - right handle!

Best dinner and movie crew.

Thank you @philrosenthal.bsky.social for opening your home up to all of us to watch “Tatani”—a timely and important movie for our times. And @juliasweeney.bsky.social is simply THE BEST!

I would really like there to be more headlines and articles making it clear that what Trump did yesterday was unconstitutional. Thomas Massie already said it was. We need a lot more people saying it.

Never been prouder to be in Los Angeles.

The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.

Los Angeles. Just wow.

Allow Me To Retort (feat. Mayor Karen Bass; Adam Klasfeld) Podcast Episode · The Daily Beans · 06/12/2025 · 59m

NEW: Today, I talk with @mayor.lacity.gov Karen Bass about the peaceful protests in LA, and @klasfeldreports.com from @allrisenews.com about Trump trying to move his 34 felonies to federal court. News with swearing. Listen and subscribe for free: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I don’t remember Marjorie Taylor Greene ever being forcibly removed and handcuffed after heckling during President Biden’s State of the Union, because…*checks notes* we were living in a democracy back then.

#OnMyWalk to a wonderful evening w the fabulous @mollyjongfast.bsky.social discussing her new book #HowToLoseYourMother w her old friend (who knew?) & my former #Friends cast mate @lisakudrow.bsky.social , & @victorshi.bsky.social & brilliant Dee Dee Wallace!💗🌷💗🌷💗

Two legends. @morgfair.bsky.social and Lisa Kudrow.

WATCH: Mayor Karen Bass reacts to Trump calling Los Angeles a "trash heap" during a speech at Fort Bragg.

"I have no idea where he's talking about," says Bass.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Holy shit. The Special Assistant to the Secretary of Defense just testified that the cost of National Guard deployment is $134 MILLION. $134 MILLION to protect a few square blocks & it’s not even working. Every taxpayer should be outraged this is what they’re spending money on.

Wow. Rachel Maddow on MSNBC tonight:

“Trump has no idea what to do with the sustained and growing and intractable and indominable protest and opposition of the American people against him.

Game over, big guy. You lose."
