Russian navy officers 'sabotage submarines in Black Sea Fleet' as Putin faces army unrest Ukraine claimed to have decimated about a third of the fleet's 80 vessels through the use of drones and missiles, including the sinking of the Moskva, the fleet's former flagship, along with other critical assets like the Rostov-on-Don Kilo-class submarine and Ropucha-class landing crafts........ Recent reports indicate that the Black Sea Fleet's submarines, stationed in Novorossiysk, are experiencing persistent mechanical issues ........ In this case, Ukrainian saboteurs are not the accused; instead, suspicion falls on the fleet's own crew. ........... all the breakdowns have obvious signs of interference: a loose lubricator drive, a gearbox failure, etc." ........ "The main suspects are the junior officers who arrived to continue their service." ......... Meanwhile, Putin is facing increasing pressure from within the Russian army to seek peace as casualties continue to mount........ A high-ranking officer serving on the Kursk front told pro-Kremlin military blogger Maxim Kalashnikov: "I would stop the war altogether. I would just say: 'That's it! Stop!'".

Humiliated Putin sees troops fleeing frontline
Global Economic Forecast at Lowest Point Since 2008 Following Trump’s Tariff War
Ugly slurs hurled at Steve Bannon as Elon Musk goes off deep end “Bannon is such a r-----ed liar. Dumber than a doorstop,” Musk posted on his X account. “SpaceX revenue this year will be $15.5B and NASA is only worth $1.1B." ....... “If Bannon’s dumb ... reasoning made any sense, then anyone who bought products from any company would automatically own that company,” Musk added. “Bannon is truly peak r----d.” ................ “You’re going to tell me we should allow some ... punk to sit there and say he should be impeached, and [vice president] JD [Vance] should step in?” Bannon told Politico’s Playbook. “We’re going to go to ... war, and I’m going to rip your ... face off.

'A warning sign': Trump under fire for new violent slogan as he sends Marines to LA President Donald Trump has unveiled a new slogan amid the ongoing protests in Los Angeles, warning critics of his deportation policies, “If you spit, we will hit”—a statement critics say could incite violence. As tensions rise, Trump is escalating the federal response, expanding the National Guard presence and now ordering U.S. Marines into the city......... “'If they spit, we will hit.' This is a statement from the President of the United States concerning the catastrophic Gavin Newscum inspired Riots going on in Los Angeles. The Insurrectionists have a tendency to spit in the face of the National Guardsmen/women, and others. These Patriots are told to accept this, it’s just the way life runs. But not in the Trump Administration. IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!" ....... "And I told them, nobody's gonna spit on our police officers. Nobody's gonna spit on our military, which they do as a common thing. They get up to 'em this far away, and then they start spitting in their face. That happens, they get hit very hard." ....... On Monday afternoon, Trump also ordered 500-700 Marines to the city, in addition to the 1,000 National Guard troops previously dispatched. .............. "Use of Force rules are unclear but the Marines will not be in a law enforcement role. Not clear the rules for response if someone throws bottles or rocks at them." .............. "Cruelty isn’t a policy, it’s a warning sign," wrote investment banker Evaristus Odinikaeze on Sunday, in response to Trump's remarks. "'They spit, we hit' isn’t leadership, it’s incitement. Brutality, dehumanization, and escalation are the ethos of authoritarian regimes. This is far from law and order. It’s about power through fear. And we must resist this evil." .......... "Be very clear," warned Lincoln Project co-founder Jennifer Horn. "The intentions of the President of the United States would be served by real violence erupting in the streets of LA. That's why he uses language like 'insurrection' and phrases like 'if they spit, we hit.' He's just looking for an excuse."

Jim Jordan's 'In America' Rant Goes Very Wrong, Very Quickly Jordan’s critics flagged him on X with two quick reminders: that the First Amendment allows people to fly whatever flag they want... and that Jordan hasn’t highlighted other flags flown, such as Confederate flags, especially at events in support of President Donald Trump.

'You're dangerous': Trump allies turn on each other

“Nearshoring,” where production is moved to closer or more friendly countries, is seen as a more likely result of tariffs, with Mexico, Vietnam, and India expected to be big beneficiaries, a Bank of America report showed. .......

Tariffs are set to be a big win for one North American country: Mexico.

........ while higher import taxes pushed by President Donald Trump may bring some manufacturing back to the U.S., the policy is more likely to create even more production opportunities for nearby countries like Mexico. ......... According to the BofA Global Research survey, only 20% of respondents expect that tariffs and other policy changes will result in significant “reshoring,” where manufacturing that is based in another country is relocated to the U.S. Instead, nearly two in five said that relocation back to the U.S. is more likely to be "mild" and focused on specific sectors. .......... “Therefore, nearshoring, or friendshoring, appears much more likely to benefit from tariffs this time around,” the June 5 report said. “Mexico is considered to be a net beneficiary from the [move] from cost efficiency to geopolitical risk management.” ......... Trump has argued that tariffs will benefit the U.S. economy, namely that they will bring manufacturing back to the U.S. and reduce the U.S. trade deficit. However, the report showed that most reshoring is likely to occur in select industries like electronics, biotechnology, and metals and mining.

Greta Thunberg denounces Gaza ‘war crimes’ after being deported from Israel
Trump Says He's Done Playing By The Rules With Military Forces “You have to remember, I’ve been here before and I went right by every rule. And I waited for governors to say, ‘Send in the National Guard.’ They wouldn’t do it,” Trump said from the Oval Office as protests mount against his mass deportation campaign in Los Angeles. ...... “I said to myself, if that stuff happens again, we’ve got to make faster decisions, because they don’t want to do it,” he said of his thoughts during past mass protest events. ........

the protests, which have gone on for days in the Los Angeles area and are now spreading nationwide.

...... “Deploying over 4,000 federalized military forces to quell a protest or prevent future protests despite the lack of evidence that local law enforcement was incapable of asserting control and ensuring public safety during such protests represents the exact type of intrusion on State Power that is at the heart of the Tenth Amendment,” the lawsuit argued.

'A warning sign': Trump under fire for new violent slogan as he sends Marines to LA California Attorney General Rob Bonta said Monday it was clear there was “no risk of rebellion, no threat of foreign invasion, no inability for the federal government to enforce federal laws” when Trump sent in the National Guard......... The Trump administration defended it actions by citing a federal law allowing the president to deploy National Guard units if the U.S. is invaded or faces “rebellion or danger of rebellion” or if the president is “unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.”

America’s Political Culture and the Power of Protest


America’s Political Culture and the Power of Protest 

There’s something deeply ingrained in American political culture that sets it apart on the world stage—a fierce, almost instinctive reverence for free speech and the right to protest. While many nations claim to uphold democratic principles, the practical space for dissent and public demonstration varies widely. In the United States, these rights are not only protected by the Constitution but actively exercised by citizens who see protest as both a civic duty and a cultural expression.

Take a step back and compare it with India—another vibrant democracy, and one of the largest. Despite its democratic structure, freedom of speech there is often tempered by social sensitivities and historical trauma. You can be taken to court for remarks deemed offensive to a religious group. And there is context—India has lived through the scars of communal violence, including the horrific partition riots of 1947 that left deep wounds still visible in the national psyche. Maintaining social harmony is often prioritized, sometimes at the expense of absolute free expression.

America is different. Here, even the mere suggestion of sending federal troops into a civilian city—say, downtown Los Angeles—evokes not silence, but a response. Not just from legal institutions, which would examine the constitutionality of such a move, but from everyday citizens. Protest is not a fringe act—it’s mainstream. It’s a reflex.

That reflex is alive again.

In moments of national crisis or moral outrage, Americans don’t wait for permission to respond. They organize, march, speak out, and act. It happened after the murder of George Floyd in 2020. It happened after the 2016 election of Donald Trump, when millions poured into the streets across all 50 states, in demonstrations that were enormous in scale yet largely peaceful in nature.

And it is happening again.

We may be entering another summer of protests. One can only hope that this time, like before, the demonstrations are peaceful, imaginative, and inclusive. It’s not just about rage—it’s about resilience. And strategy.

Protest leaders and organizers must take note. There is power in preparation. Organize not just emotionally, but tactically. Train protestors in de-escalation. Make space for art, music, poetry, and powerful symbolism. Let marches become expressions not just of dissent, but of vision—what we do want, not just what we reject.

The American tradition of protest is not a disruption of democracy—it is democracy, in its most vital, most visible form.

And in that sense, it might just be one of the most patriotic things a person can do.
























Maddow Blog | As Trump melts down over L.A. protests, Americans prep for nationwide ‘No Kings’ rallies That question will be answered not by Trump or his actions, but by the people of this country. And so the most important story of our time is this one: What is this country going to allow him to do? .......... This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the United States Constitution and the U.S. government. This is the attempted imposition of a dictatorial regime. ....... The answer won’t come from the White House; it will come from the streets, the courts, the states and in Congress. The strength of the movement against Trump is what will determine our fate as a country. Because what we’re seeing over and over again is that organizing against him works. Fighting him in court works. Pushing back works. Protesting in the streets works. ......... On Friday, large-scale protests broke out in Los Angeles over the administration’s militarized immigration raids. By Saturday, Trump was fulminating against those protests and announced he would federalize the National Guard, the first time a president has done that against the wishes of a state’s governor in 60 years. (When it was done 60 years ago, it was to protect protesters, not to threaten them with military force.) .......... The response of the American people to that move is exactly what you would expect: In Los Angeles, bigger protests than ever, and across the country, solidarity protests in Atlanta; Baltimore; Boston; Chicago; Tampa, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; and in Washington, D.C., outside the Justice Department headquarters. ......... this coming Saturday, we will likely see the largest protests yet against Trump and his administration. As the president holds his military parade in Washington, people across the country are set to take part in what organizers are calling the “No Kings Day of Defiance.”

More than 1,800 rallies are planned nationwide — peaceful, organized and united.

......... What we are seeing right now in California is a president panicking. Since polling began, we have never in the history of the U.S. presidency seen a president who is less popular than this one at this point in his presidency, and we have never seen a president less politically equipped than this one to turn that around. ......... Someone convinced Trump that attacking immigrants would work for him, that the American people would love it; that the crueler he was, the more political capital he would accrue. Instead, the opposite has happened: In town after town, school after school, city after city, it has run him into a wall — and he has no idea what to do. .......... Remember, in Trump’s first term, when he reportedly suggested nuking hurricanes to stop them from hitting the U.S.? Now in his second term, he’s trying the equivalent: Trump has no idea what to do with the sustained, growing, intractable and indomitable protest and opposition of the American people against him, so he's decided to try to stop it by using the Army......... What we’re learning, now more than ever, is that the movement against Trump is unstoppable.
