An estimated 10,000 people were in attendance at the “No Kings” rally.

Anyone who has ever lived in LA county will not be surprised it was the sheriff's department that escalated

1/7 A sitting Dem lawmaker & her husband were executed in Minnesota. The killer had a hit list of other pro-choice & Dem leaders. He impersonated a cop. And now? The right is already blaming Dems. This isn’t chaos, it’s a pattern. A dangerous, escalating one. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

A terrific storyteller, @hcrichardson.bsky.social pivots from the real history of the Army’s “birthday” to the ultimate “No Kings” moment, when Washington stepped down from the presidency rather than choosing, as so many other conquerors had, to become dictator. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Cooperating criminal gets a lighter sentence for lying Whay happens when they realize that he lied?

Donald, I want to wish you a happy birthday and remind you that Joe Biden fucking annihilated you, and Obama had bigger crowds than you will ever have in your entire miserable life. Enjoy your parade, dipshit. Hope you're able to clap with those tiny hands. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

As we reported previously, one reason trump has said he can get away with this is because the police on the ground are on “my side” :/ www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Keep protesting. Keep going, everyone.

The spectacle was to honor the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday. In reality, the event was part of the administration’s vast, billion-dollar effort to make Dump feel good about himself. Sparse crowds gathered, compared to millions protesting him across the country. 🇺🇸 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

What a legacy and what a tragedy 19thnews.org/2025/06/rep-...

We may make the squeaking our ringtone

I assume the service members out there today realize that the tradeoff for the cost of the parade was probably a million things that could make their professional lives better and safer. What a shitty way to treat the people under your command

⚡️Russia transfers 50 Ukrainian children to so-called 'rehab camp' in Kalmykia, Kyiv says. Russia has transferred 50 children from the occupied Antratsyt district of Luhansk Oblast to a so-called rehabilitation camp in Kalmykia, Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation reported on June 14.

From a miltiary post on Reddt..... 80 year old vet arrested at the capitol today for protesting against military force used on US citizens.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

I'm tracking the states Trump has attacked or is about to attack in his war against America. As he says the attacks are solely motivated by policy, we should not expect to see any trends. 🟦 = Democratic 🟥 = MAGA 💥 🟦 California 💥 🟦 Illinois 💥 🟦 New York 💥 🟦 Pennsylvania 💥 🟦 Virginia 💥 🟦 Washington

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Yikes

In a prime time address, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California sharply criticized President Trump for sending in the military to handle the protests in Los Angeles. Read a transcript of his full remarks. https://trib.al/hufkabG

The Soviets lost the Cold War, but now Trump is surrendering to them 35 yrs later. The Confederate traitors lost the Civil War, but now Trump is surrendering to them 160 yrs later. The only flag Trump and MAGA should fly is a white one.

Full speech from @governor.ca.gov. A powerful 8 minutes. The moment came, he met it, and he called on us all to meet it.

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

GOV. NEWSOM: “Trump is reckless, immoral, a stone cold liar… he’s taking unconstitutional actions and putting lives at risk. These are acts of authoritarians.”

JUST IN: A federal judge in New York has ruled that the Trump administraiton's rush to send federal employee data to DOGE was a "breach of law and trust" that violated the Privacy Act and cybersecurity protections. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Los Angeles: don’t take Trump’s bait. Trump wants chaos and he’s instigated violence. Those who assault law enforcement or cause property damage will risk arrest. Stay peaceful. Stay focused. Don’t give him the excuse he’s looking for.

It's certainly not, but it seems the definition of "crime enforcement" in the US right now is kinda ambiguous, as evinced by people following the rules being detained in basements right now w/o food or water. At a practical level, the system will punish whoever hurt this guy or it's nonfunctional.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Newsom: We talked for 20 minutes, this issue never came up. I kept trying to talk about LA, he wanted to talk about all these other issues. He never once brought up the national guard. There’s no working with the President. There’s only working for him. I will never work for Trump

What kind of person does this?

📌NOTE: Sending the Marines into ANY U.S. city would be the greatest, anti-American insult TO THE MARINES I have seen in my entire lifetime. 📌This is weak, disgusting and NOT THEIR MISSION. Be about time for retired Marines to start speaking up, because you KNOW you are better than this. -Navy guy

Ahem.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

In a world full of Stephen Millers, be a Terry Moran.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Nothin but the facts

We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

The replies on here may not be as racist as Twitter, but they damn sure are hateful. Talk AI: FU, AI sucks go away Talk Business: Go away Talk Healthcare: Crickets. Engagement went from great convos on many topics, to agree with me or you are a nazi fascist We are forcing posts to X

HAPPENING NOW: Aerial coverage of protesters marching peacefully in LA to protest ongoing ICE raid operations and Trump’s federalization of the National Guard Reporter: “What we’re looking at right now is a quiet, organized group and demonstrators marching peacefully to their destination.”
