"NO KINGS DAY" in Los Angeles: Marvel's Avengers' Movies had fewer explosions.
Welcome to "No Kings Day"—brought to you by tear gas, flash-bangs, mounted police, and the Trump regime. I spent “No Kings Day” in LA getting tear-gassed, avoiding being flash-banged, and dodging a wall of mounted police. So, just another relaxing Saturday under the Trump regime. 🙃
On Saturday, June 14th, in downtown LA, thousands gathered peacefully to defend our democracy, standing shoulder to shoulder. Despite the hundreds of police in riot gear, flash grenades, tear gas, mounted officers and block after block of black SUVs, we protested — peacefully, powerfully, and with purpose, until around 4:00 PM, when the police charged. It wasn’t exactly the relaxing weekend I had planned but a dose of tear gas makes you forget about your summer allergies! 🙃

Let’s get something straight: I was there yesterday — Tuesday — standing with thousands of peaceful Angelenos exercising their constitutional rights. We chanted, we marched, and we protested — lawfully, peacefully, and with purpose. And for that, Donald Trump called in the National Guard and is now threatening to send in the U.S. Marines.

Yes, National Guard. In downtown Los Angeles. Because apparently, peaceful protesting ICE raids is now a national security threat.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about spectacle. It’s about Trump playing dictator-in-chief, using taxpayer-funded troops as extras in his dystopian political theater — and stomping all over the First Amendment in the process.

“Land of the Free” — Unless You’re a High School Junior with a Name ICE Can’t Pronounce
Marcelo Da Silva was on his way to volleyball practice when masked, armed ICE agents threw him into an unmarked car — like he was a drug kingpin. Or maybe they just mistook playing in the school band for terrorism.
Because under Trump’s America, compassion is criminal, and cruelty is the point.

“We All Are Going to Die”: The GOP’s New Medicaid Policy
Apparently, the Republican plan for American healthcare has been reduced to this: die quietly, and please stop costing billionaires their tax cuts.
At a recent town hall in Iowa, Republican Senator Joni Ernst responded to a constituent’s concern about millions of Americans losing Medicaid coverage with the now-infamous line:
“Well, we all are going to die.”

On Memorial Day, America remembers its heroes. Donald Trump attacked judges.

While real leaders honor sacrifice with humility and resolve, Donald Trump used the day to rage on Truth Social — calling federal judges:

“Monsters who want our country to go to hell”
“Very dangerous for our country”
“USA-hating judges”
and
“An ideology that is sick”

Ukraine’s Fight Is Our Fight

A HIMARS rocket arcs across the sky — then, silence.
Moments later, a Russian ammunition depot vanishes in a fireball. The ground shakes. A mushroom cloud of destruction rises, swallowing millions of dollars in Russian military equipment. It’s a stunning sight. But make no mistake: this is not about explosions. It’s about justice.

That rocket wasn’t just destroying weapons.
It was defending children. It was protecting hospitals. It was revenge — for the mothers raped, the grandfathers executed in cold blood, the POWs shot with their hands behind their backs.

This is the war that too many Americans have forgotten — or worse, deliberately misunderstood.

🧬 Cutting Cures to Own the Libs: Trump’s Assault on Medical Research
Here’s the thing about curing Alzheimer’s, cancer, or HIV: it’s not politically convenient. So instead of funding the medical breakthroughs that could save your parents, your neighbors, or your kids, the Trump administration decided to burn it all down — one NIH grant at a time.
Let’s talk numbers:

Why Fund Science? Just Ask NASA. Or the NIH. Or the NSF. Or DARPA.
You enjoy GPS. You survived COVID with vaccines. You’re probably reading this on the Internet with a screen filled with quantum dots. So let me ask:
Why the hell are we defunding the agencies that made all that possible?
The Trump administration’s genius-level idea to slash basic science funding would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous. This is like taking a blowtorch to the blueprint of American greatness.
So let’s talk about what’s actually on the chopping block:

🚌 A Minivan. A Family. And a War America Pretends Not to See.
A minivan full of civilians — a mother, a father, their daughter, and six others — was torn apart by a Russian drone this weekend in Ukraine. A quiet Saturday morning drive turned into shrapnel and screams. A Lancet drone found them and called it a “military staging area,” according to Russian propaganda.
We used to call that murder. The Kremlin calls it diplomacy.
