A reminder that 1) the military is doing almost nothing beyond standing around LA 2) ICE is terrorizing people with little ID, including ramming cars in Boyle Heights and 3) the LAPD and LASD has been attacking peaceful demonstrations for the last 9 days.

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

This is what fascism looks like - using a conspiracy theory about a dehumanized outgroup as a pretext for seizing political power and wielding arbitrary authority. What you read about in the history books is happening right here, right now.

Given the fact that Republicans are actively pushing the insane lie that the deaths are on Democrats’ hands it really is important that political leaders and the press make this case clearly.

This is hilarious. Obviously, they didn’t (or couldn’t) read or understand the lyrics.

Just a shameless liar. He’ll push the line that this was a leftist until the evidence the other way — registered Republican, homeschooling preacher, anti-abortion with a target list of Democrats — becomes too overwhelming, and then he’ll argue “we shouldn’t politicize this”

Nice try guys but no. There was no line at security whatsoever and nobody was checking tickets. It wasn’t your hijinks; it’s that no one wanted to go to Trump’s stupid birthday party.

“When they finally found his ID confirming his citizenship, the agents let him go — without offering any explanation or apology. Lemus also asked them for their names and badge numbers and they refused.”

Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.

Your 'moment of kakistocracy' for today: “So we’re spending money to glorify a gas-guzzling equipment used for war, genocide and planetary destruction, at the same time as critical services for populations at home and around the world are being slashed.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Terrible what happened to the Dem lawmakers and their families. I am just going to leave this right here. 96% of politically motivated violence comes from the right. MAGA are a violent and hateful people. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

🧵 Here’s a retrospective thread on the NYC #NoKings protest march, which was massive and entirely peaceful but seriously outraged. These are not necessarily my favorite or most representative signs; they are just the ones I could manage to photograph, jammed in as I was. 1) people are mad

On this "No Kings Day" I recommend a reading of.... the Declaration of Independence.... Most of us have not read it for years, and it rings true and load at this time (more so then ever. in my life) -- www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, we gain solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous — and we weaken Trump and his regime. Today's protests are about standing up to Trump, but they're also about standing with each other. Be safe. Be peaceful. Be strong.

Madisonville, TN lit a fire in MAGA country today. In a place they thought was theirs, the people rose up to say HELL NO to fascism. No kings, no strongmen, no Trump. Even in deep red Tennessee, resistance is alive and kicking. #NoKings

Sobbing. All these people showed up WITH THE KILLER STILL AT LARGE. This is how we get free: we show up for and with each other even though we are afraid. We fight terror with community and solidarity. Minnesotans, you are heroes today.

because America is so lax about unmarked cop cars and its state agents love using them so much, it’s impossible to say whether this is an ex-cop car, a current cop car, or just a regular Ford Explorer with steelies and a light bar plopped on it.
