We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Friends, the word “radical” comes from the Latin word meaning “root.” To be politically radical does not mean fringe. To be radical is to focus one’s attention on the roots of the systems that govern us, such as Capitalism. Fundamental, systemic change requires radical thinking and action. ✨🌲✨

It is a US senator’s job and responsibility to question the executive branch. It’s called checks and balances. Trump has been trying to take away Congress’ power since he became President in 2017. Mike Johnson is helping him. This is why we march. #NoKings #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory

Let's all be very clear that ICE and regular cops refusing to identify themselves in any official or legible way is creating a situation that allows murderers and non-state kidnappers to successfully impersonate law enforcement. We had kidnappers do this in Philly this week in ICE costumes, too.

The news about this morning's shootings in Minnesota has me on edge about right-wing violence. Whether you are protesting or just a lefty going about your lefty business (mutual aid, organizing, etc), be alert, know who you're dealing with, and know how you would exit any place that feels unsafe.

What’s wild about the current political use of “antisemitism” (as opposed to its actual instances) is it has nothing to do with Jewish people at all. So much so that an Italian sexual harasser can wield it against a Muslim who is endorsed by a Jewish candidate. It’s just all nonsense.

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

Gavin Newsom spoke yesterday about longtime migrant workers—parents, farm & construction workers, and kids left behind. None had records; many were taken at work. The Trump admin lied: families ARE being separated. This won’t make us safer—but it WILL hurt our economy and food supply.

ICE isn’t just targeting LA. This was just posted on my NextDoor app in a town 11 miles from me. We are in the heart of beloved ag land, & rely on farm workers. Let’s be real: They aren’t “taking our jobs”. They’re taking jobs we refuse to do. We MUST protect ALL OF US. 🙌 #StandUp #DoSomething

Morale is low in the National Guard and Marines after Trump an deployed them to LA as a show of force which is turning into a political quagmire. Soldiers are do not want to be political pawns. “This isn’t what we signed up for.” #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/AFCjxNd40RvS...

LA is home to nearly a million undocumented immigrants. If you live here, you know someone living that reality whether you know it or not. It’s part of what makes this city what it is—and no, we’re not living in fear because of them.

#ProudBlue A woman was trying to get to her apartment, yet the street was blocked by LAPD. If not for Alexandria (@labyrinthlore on Tiktok), would we have known? Non-lethal does not mean it's not lethal. The rubber bullets are meant to be aimed at the feet!

Some bad faith peeps ask, “why would the Portland Metro Chamber have a problem with Portland City Council actually solving Portland’s most pervasive problems?” Because if the problems are actually solved, there’ll be nothing left for their ancillary corporate members to grift off of in perpetuity…

Masked bigots and thugs are committing crimes against immigrants. Similar crimes are also being committed by people who do not work in federal law enforcement.

"This has been a bad week for the Army for anyone who cares about us being a neutral institution," one commander at Fort Bragg...on the condition of anonymity to avoid retaliation. "This was shameful. I don't expect anything to come out of it, but I hope maybe we can learn from it long term."
