If you follow the Becerra for Governor page on Threads, the site is unfollowing you and won’t let you follow. Also true if you’re following @xavierbecerra.bsky.social supporter and fan sites.

These tea leaves aren't hard to read. :( Krugman on Trump's communications over the last 48 hrs or so: "from the Strait of Hormuz not being our problem to we will commit massive war crimes, presumably...And then finished it up with glory be to God. GOD in caps." It's 25th Amendment time.

MAJOR NEWS: Federal judges, including a Trump appointee, just BLOCKED Texas Republicans from using their new gerrymandered congressional map in 2026, ruling it was likely an illegal racial gerrymander. TX must revert to its 2021 map as Trump’s redistricting power grab collapses.

My son lives in Downtown LA. He says there are no serious protests or evidence of violence. The scariest thing for he and his roommates is the massive ICE and LAPD presence that looks like “occupation.”

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Donald Trump is spewing outrageous lies about a “white genocide” in South Africa — alleged mass killings of white Afrikaner farmers. Trump is equating post-apartheid land redistribution with race war. Elon Musk, a native of South Africa and fellow white supremacist, feeds Trump the lies; Trump…
People from the first group of white South Africans granted refugee status for being deemed “victims of racial discrimination” under Trump's refugee plan, check in for a connecting flight, at Dulles International Airport, in Dulles, Virginia, May 12, 2025.

But China is not calling Trump. The phone is not ringing. They will wait him out, and force him to do what his spox swears he won't do. In public. They will twist the knife. No "off-ramps," sorry. Trump's "never admit you were wrong" rule will be broken in the worst way.

Bessent is among the worst at hiding his dismay about Trump's moronic policies. Marco Rubio looks like a corpse when he talks now, but the Treasury Secretary looks like he's 2 seconds from shrieking, "You're right, it's total shit, but what can I do? He's threatening me, Larry!"

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Can Democrats PLEASE take Cuban's advice, ignore the meaningless polls (March 2025 FFS?), ignore the left's silly theatrics about "takeover" (they already have the Green Party), and focus like a laser on what Trump is doing to the economy. Any words you use attacking a Dem are words that HELP TRUMP.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Very true. Trump didn't campaign on running the government like a business because that would've been alarming to Red State rural residents. Instead he campaigned on racism, which they loved. They'll miss their cheap postage, but *racism* is what nourishes the Republican soul.

The typical Republican outcome. The far right loves to brag about how awesome Republicans are for the economy, but they're always horrible and Democrats always have to bail out the economy from what the right did to it. Will voters EVER learn?

Trump and Musk admire Hitler. They see his ideas as workable here and now. 1930s Germany was in the depths of a global depression and with a decimated military and industrial capacity. The US has the strongest military and economy in world history. Information & surveillance are extremized as well.
