full blown police riot in progress. never let them reframe this.

Share this. It’s why the White House demanding ABC get rid of Terry Moran. Moran has been suspended. What Moran said is accurate and true. Make sure his post makes the rounds.

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

Bernie Sanders: "We have a president who is moving this country rapidly toward authoritarianism...to a large degree the future of this country rests with a small number of Republicans in the House & Senate who know better, who do know what the Constitution is about, and it's high time they stood up"

Newsom is right- calling out the guard means Trump is “purposefully inflammatory “ Trump wants spectacle www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Fellow lawyer friend of mine who does Immigration in #LosAngeles sent this. #ICE is denying people legal counsel; tear-gassing the lawyers they do allow; tear-gassing small kids.
