June 14th: We all know the assignment 🙌🏼 nokings.org #NoKingsDay #Pinks

Rep. Stansbury: “Here in America, there are no kings, and we reject people who believe they are…Two-thirds of Americans, according to the polling yesterday, are opposed to what Donald Trump is doing with both immigration and the deployment of the military in our communities. It’s wrong.”

She nails it perfectly! 🙌🏼 Give a listen! Seat fillers wanted…🤣😂 #NoKingsDay #Pinks

Horrifying and sickening!

Accountability! #Pinks #NoKings #Resist

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Our Marines are the best lethal fighting force in the world. They generally have not been trained in non-lethal weapons or crowd control. Sending them into a domestic situation against civilians is dangerous and threatens the very apolitical nature of our Armed Forces.

Welcome to the World Cup in Donald Trump’s America!

Former ABC News correspondent and anchor Terry Moran has joined Substack. He says he can’t wait to “get at the important work that we all have to do at a time of such trouble in our country.” bit.ly/3HAX77o

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Don’t threaten us with a good time!

Look who’s making the streets of Los Angeles safer!

Hey Donald it’s been two weeks…. Since you said you’d do something in two weeks to force Russia to the table. You aren’t… you’re not… chickening out right? Nah

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Rep. Horsford: "Does taking healthcare away from 16 million Americans lower prices for working families?" Bessent: "I'm not sure what that question means." Rep. Horsford: "Does that lower costs for working families?" Bessent: "Which costs? Oil? Fuel costs?"

Another example of why traditional media (which adheres to long-standing journalistic standards) cannot compete w/ the right wing media sphere, which plays by completely different rules. It's a completely asymmetric playing field. The left can't compete by relying on traditional media for messaging.

Really good piece by @leahgreenberg.bsky.social on the strategic logic of public protest in this moment.

Trump’s attempt to chill dissent with militarized escalation isn’t working: “What it’s done is drive so many new people to the No Kings website looking for a way to show up peacefully against this autocratic overreach.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Join us on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

ICE is gearing up to deploy to these blue cities: Chicago, NYC, the DC area, Seattle, and Philly. If any of these are your hometowns—get ready. If not—watch anyway, all the way through, because Trump’s unhinged order will affect you. Spread the word.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

I don’t know if this is Wyatt Russell or not, but everyone—from celebrities to politicians—should follow his lead. He stood in LA & told the military the truth: they’re on the wrong side of history. You weren’t sworn to serve a wannabe dictator. You swore to defend the Constitution & we the people.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

notable that the poster child for morally empty ambition has finally figured out that there are gains to be reaped from opposing the administration's actions

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

The AFGE brought the 🔥 and the signs to our office today. They made it clear: federal workers deserve decent pay, decent retirement, decent working conditions—and not to get DOGED. We’ve got your back.

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

POCAN: Is the federal govt currently spending less this year than it did last year? VOUGHT: No, it's not POCAN: Part of that is because you've sent us a recession package worth $9b that goes after Big Bird and Cookie Monster, but you've added $200b to Defense and Homeland Security.

POCAN: You said the president supports the big bill passed out the House. You also said the president doesn't support cutting Medicare. VOUGHT: Correct POCAN: In the bill, there's a $500b cut that gets triggered to Medicare. You might want to take a look at that provision.

Pharmacy benefit managers’ business practices have operated with little regulation, transparency, and accountability for far too long. Illinois is putting an end to that and leading the nation in bringing transparency to PBM drug pricing.

Historian here this is how abolitionists dealt with slave catchers in northern states. #Resist
