This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

We can never, EVER, normalize this cowardly mask-wearing bullshit by #ICE or any other law enforcement agency. They serve US, not the other way around.

No worries we'll pick up the tab. Who needs healthcare anyway?

His lies know no bounds.

JFC I thought we were living in a Coen Brothers movie. Turns out we're living in a Pink Panther movie.

Fuck ICE. Frankly I am surprised the Dodgers management did this after agreeing to visit the White House and his Orangeness. But a win is a win.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

I concur — this is amazing! And as a former SF resident can’t help but notice how much Ocean Beach is built up now with multi-unit properties. Wasn’t like that when I lived there '95-99

Border Patrol is continuing raids on farm workers in Ventura County, especially Moorpark and Oxnard. Agents are circling like sharks. Farm workers in areas with heightened activity should check in on each other and take steps to stay safe. Report what you see to us.

We are relieved to have 3 of our brothers detained in upstate New York now free from ICE custody. Intimidation by ICE will never stop labor organizing. Si Se Puede. Read news release at ufw.org/ufw-welcomes...

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

Trump, you and your merry band of miscreants who hate what America stands for can go eat shit. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/u... #FascismInAmerica

Commentary: First they came for the immigrants. Then they took down our Latino senator. It is starting to feel like being brown in America is a crime. Brown man allegedly lunging is the new Black man driving — scary enough that any response is justified. www.latimes.com/california/s...

New Quinnipiac poll: Trump’s approval: Disapprove: 54% Approve: 38% Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill: 53% oppose 27% support Handling of immigration: 54% disapprove 43% approve

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

The president of the United States in our time is not supposed to wield armed troops and even station marines on American soil because of political speech and assembly he doesn’t like, that is typically not allowed and no I don’t care if any of it is technically “legal”

Donald Trump getting booed at the Kennedy Center made my night. 🍿

RIP Brian Wilson. I come from a dysfunctional home where my parents fought constantly. I also had a father who, while not intentionally abusive, didn't provide a great role model for fatherhood. So I identify with the unfortunate upbringing Wilson had. pitchfork.com/news/the-bea... #MusicSky 🎵

One more post today - these are website to help people find out where these #ICERaids are happening across the U.S.: stopice.net -- get SMS alerts on ICE movement/presence. Also, you can submit tips anonymously. I found this through one of two ICE-focused subs on Reddit. #stopICE #FuckICE
