Gavin Newsom is responding to red state critics who represent states with higher murder rates than California, including Mike Johnson (Louisiana) and Tommy Tuberville (Alabama).

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

EXCLUSIVE: ActBlue is firing back at a House GOP investigation into its workings. The Dem online fundraising platform says the probe appears to be an unconstitutional abuse of power to help the White House.

Meanwhile in Russia: decorated state TV host Vladimir Solovyov and his fellow propagandists rejoiced about events in California, hoping they mark the beginning of a civil war in the United States they've long been rooting for. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWo7...

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

This is awesome! Please flood social media and the internet with this!

Stay strong, stay united, Democratic governors!

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

The people at @smartelections.bsky.social are moving forward with a major lawsuit in NY over this obvious instance of fraud that took place in the 2024 Election... [ Reposted from @realdlhughley.bsky.social on Instagram ]

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds

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.

Protesters being arrested in Dallas now

So much this…

Another piece of Project 2025 hidden in the GOP House DHS 2026 funding bill. (Section 544) that says the government can’t take action against anyone who discriminates against same-sex marriage—as long as they claim it’s based on a “sincerely held religious belief.”

They’re ripping kids out of their parents’ arms—again. In America. In our names. DHS raids don’t just “enforce law”—they shatter families like glass on pavement. A child’s scream isn’t collateral damage. It’s the sound of a democracy losing its soul. This is cruelty by design.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

👏👏👏👏

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Every accusation is a confession.

I have a bunch of crows that follow me on my walks now, and suddenly a bunch of them landed close and started cawing nonstop furiously. I thought I'd pissed them off somehow -- when a coyote rounded the corner. Trotted past me on the opposite side, side-eyed me, and kept going.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Did she…👇 Thoughts?! 🤔

This!! 👇👇💯💯

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

BREAKING: ABC News has suspended Terry Moran for tweeting this…👇 Spread. The. Word. Far. And. Wide. 😎✨

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.

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Tim Walz shames Dems who have abandoned trans people: “We need to be the party of human dignity.” He is down to earth. He is honest. He is consistent. He is brave and stands up for what is right. He will never prevail in this country. I’m disgusted with America! www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/06/tim-...

again, this staggering idiot — this living monument to gross stupidity — is basically the intellectual guru of the sitting vice president
