JD Vance is in LA, noting that Jose Padilla isn't there.

Yep. Got the name wrong. And then complains that Alex Padilla is engaging in political theater and grandstanding.

Once again, Brendan Loper and The New Yorker cartoons nail it. Is this a chance for the global community to make real progress on international agreements that the US has long sabotaged?

Why do Trump's '#ICE agents' need silencers

From @reichlinmelnick on Dead🐦 4hrs ago:

An even better question is why are these agents kitted out like a firefight is about to pop off?

Do you know how rare any kind of deadly threat is for #immigration enforcement? The last time a #deportation officer was killed in the line of duty was 1949.

Dodgers win (at life) Happy Friday. There are 501 days until the midterm elections. The occupation of L.A. continues, the president is a racist a-hole and the Dodgers win (but not at baseball).

@samiamsam I have talked to a LOT of people IRL that think AI is some kind of great invention.

I talked to one person about its flaws and he was convinced that it will only get better. The idea being that software always gets better I guess…

I asked him “Is Microsoft Word better now than it was 20 years ago?”

LA RESIDENT: “The cruelty is staggering. People are hiding in their homes from the federal government like Anne Frank. If you’re a Christian and you’re still supporting this you’ve lost your mind. You’re not gonna get a job because of what they’re doing. Absolute brutality.”

‘…DHS has imposed new limits on visits by members of #Congress…to #immigration enforcement facilities… …#ICE asserts…power to “deny a request or otherwise cancel, reschedule or terminate a tour or visit” by lawmakers or their staff… Under existing federal law, members of Congress can make unannounced oversight visits to immigration facilities that “detain or otherwise house aliens.” …the new policy…[says] ICE field offices are not subject to those requirements…’ | NYT https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/us/politics/ice-congress.html

America could have helped #Ukraine defeat Putin, but instead chose to abandon them and fight Israel’s wars. Don’t we Americans get a say???

Pres Biden signed into law in 2021 that Juneteenth is a federal holiday but it's been celebrated here in Texas since 1866. It was however, was only declared a state holiday in 1980.

The significance of Juneteenth is that it marks when the last enslaved people learned of the Emancipation Proclamation and their freedom, June 19, 1865. It was then that 2,000 Union troops landed in Galveston, a year and a half after the Emancipation Proclamation was delivered by President Lincoln.

Happy #Juneteenth
