Goldspotted oak borers are on a killing spree. These invasive beetles are chewing up some of the oldest oak trees in #SoCal. This month, #UCANR recruited and trained volunteer bug-hunters to track down the pest. #CISAW #CaliforniaInvasiveSpeciesActionWeek bit.ly/4mWKyDH

I'm monitoring the situation that's developing in the Middle East and I urge all parties to do all they can to prevent a severe escalation of violence.

Made some friends in Boyle Heights and DTLA yesterday. #DefendLA #WhatBetterPlaceThanHereWhatBetterTimeThanNow

Yelling “what’s your name???” at people getting arrested for a violation while surrounded by cameras is a great way to dox them.

We need peace, not war. This escalation between Israel and Iran will likely result in more innocent people losing their lives. Right now, diplomacy is a moral imperative.

Over 100 ballistic missiles were launched at Israel. One Iranian missile reportedly struck the Israeli Defense Ministry headquarters in HaKirya, Tel Aviv, according to Channel 13.

🧵I think it's worth remembering three facts: 1. Israel is the only nation in the Middle East with nuclear weapons. 2. Iran does not have nuclear weapons. 3. Iran has a nuclear *program* that it says is for energy purposes. Is Iran lying about its intentions? 🤷‍♀️ But it doesn't have weapons now.

Not all SHeros wear capes! Brava to this woman at the Kennedy Center as she reminds the felon & those in the audience exactly who he is. #TrumpIsAConvictedFelon

A projectile struck central Tel Aviv, resulting in a massive explosion that sent plumes of smoke towering into the air over the Israeli city’s skyline.

After a fiery debate months ago over services for immigrants, California Democrats are quietly responding to Republican criticism by restricting immigrants convicted of certain crimes from accessing a state-supported legal defense fund. buff.ly/KLxvPYA 📸 Gregory Bull, AP

My primary opponent is openly supporting a war crime that brings the world closer to a nuclear meltdown.

Thread of reactions from U.S. Jewish organizations to Israel's military campaign against Iran — overwhelmingly supportive 🧵

Reposting for more accuracy: I just witnessed community members chase Border Patrol out of a retail center in Thousand Oaks. Thousand Oaks is not near the border with Mexico and is in Ventura County. But according to the ACLU it counts as border area due to the Pacific Ocean.

Whether you’re on Medicaid, MassHealth, KanCare, or Medi-Cal, Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans want to cut your health insurance. 16 million people lose health care just so Jeff Bezos can get another tax break.

Look at that, they fired all those "DEI reporters" to suck up for nothing. Nice job complying in advance, assholes

America was never meant to have kings. Not in 1776, and not now. As Franklin said, we have a republic—if we can keep it. That means standing up, speaking out, and staying peaceful. Vigilance without violence. This is our country. #NoKings

The "No Kings" organizers say that there are more than 1,800 protests planed for tomorrow.: www.nokings.org We'll have journalists at several of them, but you can tag @motherjones.com with your clips and tips.

It appears that Andy Ngo has once again stolen my footage and had the audacity to put his watermark on it

A radiologist and his family were five of more than 240 people who died in the Thursday, June 12 crash.

A video just tweeted by Dan Scavino Jr. with "Good Morning, D.C."

Tell it to her dog.

Calvin & Hobbes is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic strips of all time and I feel like we STILL underrate it.

Fox hosts, parroting DHS, claimed Sen. Padilla "ran at,” "lunged at," and tried to “bum-rush” Kristi Noem. Video disproves their claims, showing Padilla standing calmly across the room asking his question as security grabs him.

Did you know about this public space at Liberty Station in San Diego? #thankyoucoastalact #californiacoastalcommission #coastalaccess #publicspace #californiacoast #coastforall

You'd know it was a legit military parade if there were just lines of dudes carrying laptops with their drones flying above them.

Another tank rolling into DC for Trump’s birthday parade

shoutout to every idiot who believed that trump would "end the wars"

this 48-second video of a protest in ontario, california is top-tier storytelling 🤌🏽🤌🏽

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to return control of the National Guard back to California, saying the call-up was illegal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Legal question: If Trump's call-up of the National Guard was illegal, then what authority did (and does) the National Guard have on the streets of LA, where they brutalized and injured dozens of protesters.

Israel has launched an attack on Iran and I guarantee you - I absolutely guarantee you - the No. 1 thing our narcissistic-oaf president is worried about is how it might draw attention away from his birthday parade.

BREAKING: A federal judge says Trump illegally deployed the National Guard to help with LA protests and must return control to California.

JUDGE BREYER: There is NO rebellion in Los Angeles justifying the federalizing of the California National Guard, the statutory requirement to issue orders though the governor was not followed, and the 10A warns against what the administration is doing. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.
