2 ICE agents chase down, tackle, and detain a guy in LA. After they realize he speaks English and is an American citizen, they just leave. #ice #American

Immigrant father of three Marines, Narciso Barranco is violently detained, injured by federal agents, son says

Adrian Martinez, a 20-year-old U.S. citizen who was violently taken into custody by ICE agents in Pico Rivera

It is my honor to proclaim today Juneteenth in North Carolina.

I don't like the giant White House phallic flags, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like the giant phallic flags, denigrate means 'put down'.

Genuinely sad and insane that @marshablackburn, Jack Johnson & Sexton want to enshrine this into law instead of banning it. Deeply un-American.

Hurricane Helene has exacerbated the food scarcity problem in western NC, and additional cuts to SNAP in the proposed congressional budget would make it even harder for folks to put food on the table. The Senate needs to fix this bill. www.wfae.org/united-state...

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

It’s a start The "No Secret Police Act" was introduced by Democrats in the state's Senate on Monday, following criticism that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were trying to hide their identities while carrying out raids in Los Angeles.

Gonna level with you bro I think DHS needs to be dissolved after this. Regardless of what national security functions fall under its remit, it's clearly institutionally constructed in such a way allows it to be used as an unaccountable tool of executive power. Can't reform your way out of that.

BREAKING: Trump just said that the US involvement in Iran-Israel conflict is possible people flee Tehran. I thought he promised no new conflicts. You can leave Democrats out of this It’s what MAGA voted for For years every other US president said no to Netanyahu except Trump

As of today, June 16, 2025, there are 505 days until November 3, 2026.  As of today, June 16, 2025, there are 12,174 hours until November 3, 2026.  As of June 16, 2025, November 3, 2026. This translates to roughly 730,499 minutes.

Awful

BREAKING: The US Marines have detained a US citizen in Los Angeles. This is the first time in known US history that the marines have been used in this way to detain an American without the Insurrection Act being invoked. In other words, Trump is breaking the law once again.

Your purpose is not the thing you do. It is the thing that happens in others when you do what you do.

Soldier The military booing an American city, goaded by the president, is deeply unsettling. When I joined the Army I took an oath to the Constitution, not to a person, not to a party. This isn’t leadership. It’s authoritarian #FortBragg

MAGA Neighbor- Every life lost, every American citizen injured, every child terrified, every law broken by the Federal Government is what you voted for… you sit thousands of miles away and cheer the horrors you inflict. Safe in your self righteous nest. Regret is coming.

Our military should fight our enemies, not us.

tasted like fascism

MAGA is having an #Authoritarogasm

What is happening in America under your name? Will your support be talked about by your grandchildren? Their potential bosses? Potential communities? Will they be labeled because of you? There is right and wrong, and “I didn’t know they treated people that way” will be no excuse

If you really really really want to worship Donald Trump, then take him and yourself to some church and give him all your money, just leave the rest of us out of it!

The question I have is, what will people do to earn a living when AI, and technology decimates their livelihoods? What good is it to have a factory making, selling with no employees? If not socialism then what? I’m all ears
