A judge has ruled against Trump on National Guard in LA. Newsom says Guard will return to their former assignments tomorrow.

What happened to @padilla.senate.gov in California today is outrageous. Senator Padilla is a respected leader of great dignity and he has every right to ask a question of Secretary Noem without being slammed down and handcuffed.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Weird, right?

chemical warfare

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

Kristi Noem: "In LA, what we're been going after is the worst of the worst. They're murderers." [Kristi Noem then raids a Home Depot to arrest people just looking to help with home improvement jobs.] Trump people lie so effortlessly and often.

They’re trying to silence us with fear and force. But “darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.” On 6/14, we show them what resistance looks like. Peaceful, unshakable, and everywhere!

CNN’s reporter on scene in Los Angeles: I’m being detained..

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

👏👏👏

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

@repmaxinewaters.bsky.social pleads with National Guard to not use their guns, yesterday.

This!! 👇👇💯💯

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

I never, ever want to hear another god damn word about state’s rights…

This is precisely correct.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Everything that is happening in Los Angeles could've been avoided if folks had listened and voted for the sane and qualified black lady.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stop for a moment and watch this little roadrunner utterly ecstatic to show his mama the treasure he found 🥹🥹🥹

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Ahem.

Dear journalists. When the US President is openly accused of paedophilia the story is either impeachment or defamation. If not, the story is how words have lost all meaning, truth has lost all value, and journalists are now completely desensitised to lying and corruption.

LAWSKY: I see a lot of folks hoping Abrego Garcia will sue Bondi for defamation. I don’t think he can sue her for defamation, but if she drops the charges, I think maybe he can sue for false arrest. Do I have that right? Thanks!

ICE is detaining people in LA in a basement with no beds, no air, no light and not enough food and water. These are crimes.

Something tells me that when the Deputy Chief of Staff at DHS tweets to his 1.3M followers that Abrego Garcia is a criminal terrorist monster who will serve a long prison sentence, that might taint the jury pool. @aclu.org

People in Los Angeles rising up against ICE.

Nearly a dozen immigration officers and eight deportees are sick and stranded in a metal shipping container in the searing-hot East African nation of Djibouti, where they face the constant threat of malaria and rocket attacks from nearby Yemen, according to a federal court filing.

The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in.

True.

HOLY F-CKING CRAP! Trump is in the Epstein Files according to Elon Musk. Trump could sue if this is false. krassencast.com/p/breaking-e...

Why are Trump and House Republicans trying to bankrupt America?

You will not see this in any democratic country. Those agents look more suspicious than a $3 bank note.
