It appears I have to explicitly say what "No DMs" means. If you DM me I block you instantly." Clear enough?

I don't know which is more unbelievable.

That we'd ever have a president post an insane video of himself dropping shit on Americans exercising their Constitutional rights.

Or that we'd have a cabinet that didn't remove him that same day by invoking the 25th Amendment.

More people marched today than at any time in the history of the United States.

For @nytimes.com, it was the 6th most important story.

They are making sure that those in power do not see what they do not want to see.

This is not what we were brought up to think of as journalism.

The President of the United States has posted an AI video of himself unloading tons of raw sewage on American cities.

One of the targets in the AI video is Harry Sisson.

And there were about 2000 people out with us, one of many marches in Los Angeles today.

Marching and holding a sign saying "It's so bad even the introverts are here."

Protesting with my friend on No Kings day.

Absolutely. The "good Germans" who opposed Hitler stayed home. I am old and agoraphobic and I hatebeing in crowds. But I am marching. My dad took me yo Civil Rights marches when I was in elementary school.

When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them.

The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

I noticed massive spider webs in a corner of my shower this morning. The spider was long gone. I didn't clean them away.

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

The US military has seized survivors of a US airstrike after trying to kill them. AP’s reporting seems to confirm what Reuters reported earlier this morning.

What are we doing here?

US has seized survivors after strike on suspected drug-carrying vessel in Caribbean, AP source says

Two U.S. officials have confirmed to The Associated Press that the U.S. military has carried out a sixth, deadly strike in the Caribbean.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.
