When they say shit like this, the news should cut to footage on the ground. Peaceful protesters at sunrise. A guy in a frog suit. ICE agents agitating unprompted. A protester singing w a ukulele. People walking to work w coffee.

And then footage from January 6 in contrast, for a lil razzle dazzle

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

before vaccination every seventh child in Russia died of smallpox . And that’s just ONE DISEASE. We cannot imagine the scale of child death that permeated a pre vaccine era. To be anti vax is to be to your core a killer of children, a celebrator of child death, a priest offering up children to baal

Transit riders share stories at community-building event ahead of 'Week Without Driving' It was an opportunity for non-drivers to have their voices heard.

"Non drivers exist, and it's way more people than you recognize... we just don't think of those people as having the same valid mobility needs as you know somebody else who has a car." - Anna Zivarts @nondriver.bsky.social

Dear journalists:

The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her.

Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Hard to think of anyone less equipped for this moment than Schumer

AMA, 79 medical societies back vaccination against respiratory viruses Together, reaffirm support for vaccination to protect against flu, COVID-19, and RSV and call for vaccines to remain available to patients without cost sharing.

Vaccines save lives. And in times like these, clear, evidence-based guidance matters more than ever. #OurAMA joins 79 medical societies to reaffirm that vaccines for flu, COVID-19 & RSV are vital to preventing serious illness. http://spr.ly/633214e6w3 #VaccinesWork

"The thing about 'breaking with' the nation’s most prominent antivaxxer after you voted to install him as head of Health and Human Services is that it means literally nothing — the disease-spreading failson has been lectured plenty of times by non-idiots and he doesn’t care at all."

Portrait of AOC.

“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

AOC calls for Donald Trump’s impeachment following his decision to bomb Iran.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

I have not seen a single moment from the anti-ICE protests that even comes remotely close to a fraction of the violence of ICE itself.

ICE ALERT On 6/8/25 ICE may be planning to raid the following areas: • 5th & Washington Ave • 7th & Snyder Ave • 5th & McKean/Wolf • Chinatown Look out for your neighbors! We keep us safe!

PHILLY:

The fight between Musk and Trump is fundamentally all about people losing their healthcare. If you don’t know how to capitalize on that and you keep insisting it’s all a distraction you need to find another line of work.

ICE agents arrest 73-year-old grandfather in Louisiana who has lived in US for 45 years The Lafayette man was detained outside of a gas station on his way to work, and his family posted a video begging for prayers and help to bring him home.

45 years ago, Jose Francisco Garcia Rodriguez fled Cuba on a ship provided by the US for people seeking refuge from the Cuban government.

While on his way to work, the 73-year-old grandfather was picked up by ICE agents near his home in Lafayette, LA. He’s being held in an ICE processing center.

Famously, the way to beat fascist bullies is to flop onto your back and say “my vital organs are exposed, take what you want.” Certainly they will stop at the first vital organ.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

The Geordi LaForge meme. Top level, a picture of Geordi, holding his hand up toward the camera in a "Wait, hold up" position with his head tilted to his left shoulder. The text reads, "Do not comply in advance." Three bullet points, symbolized with red "x"s, are below and read "bossy," "already a cliche," and "implies permission to comply later." Lower level, a picture of Geordi, he's turned his head to the left and his hand is now pointing its index finger to the camera in a "That's right" gesture, his eyes, although invisible behind his visor, glow red. The text heading says, "Fuck you. Make me." Below are bullet points, now symbolized with green check marks, that read "leads by example," "directs yelling at opposition instead of allies," and "easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner."

As Measles Spreads, Kennedy Embraces Remedies Like Cod Liver Oil (Gift Article) In an interview, the H.H.S. secretary claimed that unconventional treatments were helping patients but did not mention vaccination.

Well, at least "Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?" is right there

I like the costumes category bc every time they cut to a nominee it’s someone you’ve never heard of who is clearly the coolest looking person in every room they walk into

Measles death of unvaccinated child in Texas outbreak is 1st fatality in US in a decade An unvaccinated school-aged child in Texas has died of measles, the first associated with an outbreak that has infected more than 100 people.

This news truly breaks my heart.

We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line!

“Disco sucks” was a lie told my homophobes and self-loathing capitalist baby boomers and is only accurate when referring to Glen Gilberti.
