Bat Boy Lives! Same attitude as that Ex-place, but with half the assholios. Yes, that is my hair... US Army Veteran, so the sarcasm is built in.

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey. Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work. It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

Got the Assistant Chief backing her up. Yikes! 😬

At a @katmabu.bsky.social Pride party. 🥳

L.A. TACO has confirmed that ICE has detained two taqueros at Jason’s Tacos , a taco truck specializing in al pastor located on Whittier Boulevard and Bradshawe Street in East Los Angeles. @theglutster.bsky.social reporting for L.A. TACO

Diocese of San Diego!

and yet there you guys are, tolerating it

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

So many texts with Californians right now and we're all wondering what the fuck Newsom does now. I don't know anything about the governor's actual power, but a lot of us are wondering... uh, we still paying taxes for this?

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

I don't really need answers tbh I need accountability. I need consequences.

shut down the senate.

and please mask at protests and in organizing spaces. disabled people deserve access to those spaces without facing undo risk from our comrades, and this is probably not going to be a short fight and we need to keep each other healthy. long covid will greatly reduce your ability to organize.

I got nothing but flower and veggie photos (and bunny content) this summer Garden 1 and 2 Ignore the weeds; don’t judge me. I’ll get to them in a week or two. Lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, peppers, snap peas, herbs, sketchy squash, and sketchy cucumbers. And ridiculous amounts of flowers

ranked choice should have one additional box that just says "no fuckin way" and it counts for negative two votes

Excited to see that black people performing country music are only eligible for 3/5ths of a Grammy

The senator thing is bad, but today the government openly said they intend to use military force to depose democratically elected leaders, and they argued in court the president has unreviewable power to put national guard under his command. Mere “constitutional crisis” was ten exits ago.

It would do wonders for my sanity if the media would stop acting like RFK Jr is just someone with good motives but misguided, and instead transparently present him as someone actively trying to ensure the destruction of American public health and endangering millions.

u just know trumps reaction to the israel attack is how it is going to affect his parade

The Secretary of Homeland Security just said the feds are there to remove democratically elected officials in California and then had a Senator detained. Why is that not in every headline? It's what happened.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge issued a sweeping order blocking President Donald Trump’s unprecedented seizure of California’s National Guard, calling the move illegal and a “dangerous precedent. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

And of course it's a woman!!!

Appeals court temporarily blocks judge’s ruling to return control of National Guard to California www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

A federal judge, Charles Breyer, ruled that Trump’s hijacking of the California National Guard was illegal. But now the appeals court has stayed that order. It’s typical for due process, but it’s not right that people in Los Angeles are left exposed to this fascist bullshit. End this madness ASAP.

Judge says Trump "illegally" deployed California National Guard to LA www.axios.com/2025/06/13/t...

Think of ICE as one of those crooked Florida police departments in small towns that pulls over *thousands* of drivers on I-95 for *any* reason to meet quotas for tickets. Stephen Miller has given ICE quotas for arrests and they will meet those quotas whether the arrestees deserve it or not.

Wow. Breyer cranks out 36 page opinion enjoining the feds from deploy of the National Guard in California. Stayed briefly to permit appeal. Next hearing set for 6/20.

The woman on this plane across the aisle from me is listening to her phone without earphones. An adult. Why does this happen so much? Why do people think this is okay?

The Texas governor just deployed the National Guard before a peaceful day of action on Saturday. This is how escalation starts… apnews.com/article/immi...

With the illegal arrest of Senator Padilla, the press is ignoring what Noemi was talking about: regime changes in Blue States.

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

The world has gone mad.

My colleagues and I represented a distinguished group of retired military leaders on a brief explaining why domestic deployments of the military should happen only in the rarest of circumstances and in strict accordance with the law. Please read and share what they said.

Mood

JUST IN: 248,000 Americans filed initial jobless claims last week, unchanged from the week prior and above expectations of 242,000. Ongoing claims hit their highest level since November 2021 as weekly filings remain at an eight-month high. So much for the “Golden age.”

If the feds can just randomly delete money states were already awarded, our nation's future won't even make it past a single election cycle. Capitulation now will just invite more bullying. That's why California needs to hit back hard. Like 220 mph hard!! Sat at 10am, LA is hitting the streets.

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Collateral damage: hearing that no-shows are way up for primary care appointments due to fear of ICE raids

please enjoy this exclusive footage of Tesla's technically complex and strategically vital humanoid robot hand youtu.be/3d1F6ZGdpuQ?...

The question now is whether Trump will try to end-run the court’s decision by invoking the Insurrection Act, one provision of which would allow him to federalize the Nat. Guard WITHOUT the governor’s permission, AND use them for law enforcement (not just protection)

No shit
