Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Karen Bass: "On Saturday night, the president tweeted that 'because of the great work of the National Guard, the protests & the violence was curtailed.' The National Guard wasn't even here. They didn't even arrive until the next day. That's why it's very hard to not see this as a stunt or test case"

Texans are protesting peacefully, and Greg Abbott has the National Guard on standby. 
Because nothing scares him more than the people standing up and speaking out. Let me remind y’all: the right to peaceful protest is in the Constitution.

“Democracy is under assault right before our eyes,” Newsom warned. “The moment we’ve feared has arrived. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Don’t threaten us with a good time!

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate.” Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth — and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Double.

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 ]

GOOD NEWS: The Georgia Supreme Court ruled that the Republican-led State Elections Board exceeded its authority in passing a handful of controversial anti-voting rules last year. Paige Moskowitz and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=16wS...

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Thousands of New Yorkers march in lower Manhattan calling for ICE out of New York. Starting at Foley Square and organized by PSL, the masses have flooded the streets and are moving west. This demo is permitted but even if it wasn’t, it would be far too large for NYPD to contain.

Republicans are all about “state rights” when Democrats are in charge, but suddenly transform into federalists when they’re in the White House.

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

Gov. Newsom is inarguably cooking on the socials

This is upsetting.

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

When Senator Bill Cassidy announced he would vote to confirm RFK Jr, he included this in his statement: “If confirmed, he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes.” WITHOUT CHANGES.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a clear and present danger to every person in the United States, and in fact in entire world. He must be REMOVED FROM OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.

Always remember:

The whole thing started when ICE agents jumped out of vans at a Home Depot in tactical gear and charged at a group of day laborers.

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

Came to the edge of my building and saw the heart of Los Angeles march by. 💚❤💙💜💛 This right here is what makes my city great. Don't let the dictator or his cronies tell you different. #LosAngeles #NoKings #LittleTokyo #ArtsDistrict

It’s also 5 years ago dumbass.

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

MIKE JOHNSON: What's important about President Trump is he has no intention of spending higher levels of money. In fact, we're in the process of cutting KARL: Well, this is adding a lot to the debt JOHNSON: No it's not KARL: It is

The U.S. Constitution and longstanding federal law strictly limit the use of the military to police civilians. Under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, active-duty military forces are prohibited from engaging in domestic law enforcement unless explicitly authorized by Congress or the Constitution.

Rep. Gomez: LA County alone is 34% foreign born, 34%. So when he says they're going to liberate us, who is he going to liberate us from? Ourselves?

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

Tyranny requires constant effort. Oppression is the mask of fear. Authority is brittle. And most importantly: you are never truly alone when standing up to authoritarianism. You have friends everywhere.

To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

🤔

Hell of a photo

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: They were literally out there protesting, carrying a foreign flag. That's absolutely insane. They are not just peaceful protesters. These are illegals. BASH: Carrying a flag is not illegal M: A foreign fag -- a foreign flag while you're attacking law enforcement, it's pretty bad

One apparent reason why GOP legislators are getting cold feet about proof of citizenship laws for voter registration: They’re worried about disenfranchising their own voters, advocates say. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.
